Title:: On the Construction of the Aboriginal Image in Taiwan Movies sincethe New Century

Abstract:: Since the beginning of the new century，the number of movies produced in Taiwan which haveshaped the image of aboriginal people has gradually increased，and the aboriginal directors have begun to givea voice to the indigenous people by using images in their movies. On the screen，the aboriginals gradually getrid of being alienated and marginalized as“ others” and begin to be integrated into the mainstream narrative，showing a rich and vivid appearance. But what cannot be ignored is that at the same time such efforts madeby the aboriginal directors have also given rise to many problems. This article is thus intended to examine theimage of the aborigines in the movies of Taiwan in this period in order to explore how to build a true image ofthe aboriginals.
