2022威尼斯國際影展沉浸式競賽最佳體驗獎 Best Experience of Venice Immersive, Venice FF

綠島曾關押政治犯的蠟像展示場，政治受難者坤伯正述說著當年的情景。隨著坤伯導覽的腳步，觀眾彷彿穿越時光隧道，一同經歷了1950年代坤伯與難友阿青的故事，他們像是被凍結在時間裡，守護著約定而無法離開，也等待著那位能讓故事不斷被傳頌下去的人。

《無法離開的人》融合多位白色恐怖政治受難者的經歷，以一封無法送達的遺書，穿越歷史與時間，並藉由VR沉浸式體驗，期待喚起不同世代對這段歷史與人物的共感。

Within the walls of the former Green Island prison, political detainee A-Kuen, tells the stories of imprisonment and persecution in the 1950s. Among fellow inmates, frozen in time, he recounts his own experiences and those of his friend, A-Ching, who never made it out. Experience the time and place, and the waiting, in hope, for a chance to keep the stories alive.

The Man Who Couldn’t Leave integrates the stories of numerous political victims of the White Terror and told through the form of an undelivered family letter. An immersive VR experience of hope, fear and camaraderie.


導演的話

《無法離開的人》故事背景是1950年代綠島的白色恐怖再叛亂案，透過角色各自的象徵：坤伯——懷著遺憾的人、阿青——無法離開的人、阿青妻子——守著秘密的人、阿青女兒——追尋歷史的人，建構跨越世代的故事。除了讓觀眾感受到當年前輩們受難的經歷之外，更希望傳達出前輩們對理想社會的追求與努力，是得以超越歷史與時間，也是不同世代不同族群所追求的普世價值。最終，唯有故事不斷被述說、前人的理想與犧牲不被遺忘，才能讓已逝的靈魂安息，讓一代代追求理想社會的人得以延續其精神。

Director's Statement

The background to The Man Who Couldn’t Leave derives from documents recounting the experiences of political dissidents imprisoned on Green Island during the White Terror of the 1950s. It is narrated from the perspective of four symbolic characters: A-Kuen, who recalls with regret and his friend A-Ching – the man who couldn’t leave. There is also A-Ching’s wife, who held the secret of her husband’s incarceration for many years, and A-Ching’s daughter, who now inherits that story and is determined to keep it alive.

It also lets its audience feel the suffering and hopes of these people and conveys their desires for a better society; hopes that transcend history as universal values pursued by identity groups and new generations. In the end, it is only if stories are constantly told and the ideals and sacrifices of earlier generations are remembered, can the dead souls rest in peace and the spirit of an ideal society can be continued from generation to generation.
