Din Tao: Tradition and Teenagers


Here's the trailer.

There's no words meaning "陣頭" in English so I use the Taiwanese pronunciation to call this film.
This film is about one of the Taiwanese traditional temple fair called "Din Tao" in Taiwanese.
What is Din Tao?
Some of the Din Tao group plays the drums, and the others wear special custom on behalf of a God like 三太子 or bodyguards of Gods called "八家將."

The story happened at a traditional Din Tao family, but the main character A-Tai (阿泰) didn't like his father so he didn't want to inherit the Din Tao group.
But he was provoked by the son of the leader of the other Din Tao group, A-Xian (阿賢) and he made his decision to make his family's group better.
He mixed the modern music and art with the traditional Din Tao, and he made his effort to get his father and A-Xian's confidence to him, and he had done successfully.
A-Tai & A-Xian


The movie has taught a thing to me: "Tradition can be better if you pour some modern thing in it."
So you are never afraid to put the new and the old together.
When the beautiful reaction happens, you will be surprised!

  3. I had seen this film before, and the plot of the film I like the most is A-Tai didn't know the past of his member of Din Tao group and hit him with a beer bottle, but when he realized his fault, he apologize sincerely to the member of his group. The film is really impressive and you could make more people know about it.
