‘Murder of the Century’ reeks of KMT propagandaBy Hu Wen-huei 胡文輝The period film Murder of the Century (世紀血案), based on the Lin (林) family murders set for release next year, seems to make no secret of its intentions. It whitewashes the enormity of the crimes committed by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) regime. In a cruel disregard for their grief, 84-year-old Lin and his family were not consulted before the film was made. Glossing over the dark history of Taiwan under the authoritarian regime of the KMT and in a show of “blue-red” collaboration, it paves the way for a new authoritarian regime — under the CCP. Once again, an authoritarian regime from China looms large in Taiwan.
