Film bids to save nation by showing its marvels
The movie makes an emotional impact right from the beginning, when the viewer hears the first line of Wu Nien-jen’s (吳念真) narrative: “If you have never seen this before, it’s just because you were never tall enough,” as an impressive view of the Central Mountain Range rolls across the screen, accompanied by powerful music played by the Prague Symphony Orchestra.
It was quite an opening. This, then, is Taiwan, our beautiful island, our Ilha Formosa. Thanks to the work of Taiwanese director Chi Po-lin (齊柏林), who flew over these vistas to capture them on film, everyone is now tall enough to witness the beauty, but also the pathos, of Taiwan.
This aerial documentary employs three elements that make it so special: aerial imagery, Wu’s narration and a soundtrack that perfectly complements the visuals. As the camera soars and swoops high above the nation, the elegant beauty and the sheer majesty of Taiwan made my eyes well up with tears.
'Beyond Beauty' prompts gov't action (China Post
Numerous viewers of the Golden Horse Awards-winning documentary have aspired to act against further pollution and environmental deterioration on the island. Many who previously assumed that they had done their civil obligations by following the government's current garbage disposal laws have walked out of the theater feeling that their efforts have been insufficient upon further reflection, and have since encouraged the Taiwanese government to act. After attending a screening of the documentary, Premier Jiang Yi-huah (江宜樺) also made a personal promise to director Chi Bo-lin (齊柏林) that he will “definitely take action toward solving the problem,”He has prompted the government to assemble a task force, as well as drafting 16 topics of discussion that covers 3 major issues.
Questions:
1. Have you ever seen this documentary? And what do you think of this film?
2. In your viewpoints, where are the stunning natural sceneries in Taiwan?
Recommendations for most beautiful scenic place in Taiwan?
3. Where are the most beautiful coastal views in Taiwan?
(Ex: the east coast, the northeast coast)
4. Why should we protect nature? Why is environmental protection so important?
5. The economic consequences of destroying Taiwan’s natural-- how can you help protect it?
6. Recommendations for great places and travel ideas to visitors in Taipei?
7. Recommendations for best Taiwanese food?

Alcohol Drinking Can Be Both Good and Bad For You (voa)
Millions of people around the world have a glass of wine with dinner, drink a beer at a sporting event, or accept alcoholic drinks at a party.
Millions of people around the world have a glass of wine with dinner, drink a beer at a sporting event, or accept alcoholic drinks at a party.
The use of alcohol dates back more than 10,000 years. From then until now, alcohol has played an important part in human civilization. It is used in cultural and religious ceremonies, at social gatherings, and even for medical purposes.
Records of alcohol’s effects date back to ancient times. Alcohol has been called both a tonic and a poison. And medical experts continue to debate its value.
There has been a large amount of research done on alcohol and its effects on human health. Much of the research has examined the harmful effects. But, some research suggests that having one to two drinks of alcohol a day may offer some health benefits.
Several large studies have shown that this type of moderate drinking may lower the risk of coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, ischemic stroke and diabetes. Moderate drinking has also been linked to a reduced risk of death from heart attack and a decreased risk of Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
Ma lauds ROC health policies at global forum (Taiwan Today)
President Ma Ying- jeou said Nov. 23 that Taiwan’s new zero tolerance drunken driving regime has proven effective in lowering traffic deaths and protecting public health, making it an excellent example of the World Health Organization’s Health in All Policies strategy.

紀錄片「看見台灣」票房傳佳績，但也揭露出國土破壞和汙染問題。【聯合晚報╱記者蔡佩芳】
行政院長江宜樺13日與政院官員共同欣賞「看見台灣」，會後他向導演齊柏林承諾，一定會想辦法處理這些問題，隨即指示成立專案小組。搶救「看見台灣」專案小組日前也已成立，由副秘書長簡太郎擔任召集人，研考會做為執行幕僚，幕僚作業已初步將片中提到環境問題，區分為盜採砂土、山坡地超量利用、國土永續發展三大區塊，周五將舉行跨部會會議討論。
