Default Weapons, textiles in a movie on Taiwanese aborigines in the 1930s

A very good way to watch textiles and weapons of the Taiwan aborigines in the 1930s, in particular from the Sedeeq tribe, is to watch this movie trailer on Youtube :

Context : this is a trailer, and the movie has not yet been pictured. It is about the Wushe Incident, the story of the last aborigines upraisal against Japanese rule on the island, in 1930. The leader of this revolt, chief Mona Rudao, is considered as a hero. If you want to know more about this war and Mona Rudao, see :

The weapons and textiles seen in this short movie are very close to what the Sedeeq people were using at that time. At once, you'll see a 'hunted head bag' similar to the one I linked previously and also knives and spears similar to the ones posted here before. Concerning the other weapons shown in this short movie, the Japanese weapons, there are some other experts here on the forum that could bring more infos. Just to remind you : the Japanese used against their Sedeeq enemies the usual weapons (rifles, saber...), but also more modern ones for the time like shells, chemical bombs (mustard gas), electric wire to enclose them...
