The Japanese occupation (1895\u20131945) is nearing its end, but the  villagers are less concerned with colonial politics than with feeding  their families. One day, an American bomb falls onto a field, where it  lies unexploded. Oblivious to the potential danger, two clownish  brothers excitedly carry it into town hoping to be rewarded by the  Japanese general. The journey is filled with slapstick humor as the two  escape multiple near-death scenarios. A classic of the Taiwan New  Cinema, <em>Strawman<\/em> is a black comedy that brings into sharp focus the absurdity of life under occupation.
