Different from general media which are as a rule presented only by written and spoken methods, historical films have a much broader space for their creation. In consequence, they can be used as an important means for reinterpreting culture. Basing on a Taiwanese historical story and arranging it in a heroic/epic style, the director Tesheng Wei of the film "Seediq Bale" has created a new opportunity for the Taiwan film industry. Such a film adopts the aesthetics of visual expression in reproducing Taiwanese clothing of that era. This study applies the film "Seediq Bale" as a textual object, to analyze the traditional Seediq clothing of characters in the film. In additions, this study also interviews the costume designer Row-Long Chiu and costume producer Yuma Taru, to integrate and compare their concepts in representation. This study uses narrative analysis to inquire into how the film "Seediq Bale" utilizes costumes with symbolic meaning to re-enact a facet of the Seediq history and culture. Major findings of this study include: 1. Although the film "Seediq Bale" means to make close reference to the ethnical traditions of clothing, owing to the constraints of time and money, the production team is obliged to simplify the complexity of Seediq traditional requirements of weaving craft. In this case, they apply the textile textures as highlights in some specific character roles for the interpretation. 2. The director, bringing in his personal view and value of history, changes the tone from bright to dark. He is quite successful in using aesthetics to transform and re-construct historical clothing, and give this film a unique style of literary creation. In short, the costume designs of the film "Seediq Bale" has its own new element but not severely losing the meaning of Seediq traditional culture.
