《一八九五》是台灣首部以客家語為主的電影，不僅為政治人物們推薦，同時也是民視電視台與客家電視台的重點宣傳項目之一。影片中除了真實還原當年客家英雄抗日的感動故事，更深入全台灣超過30多個優美景點拍攝，呈現出國片難得一見的美麗和氣勢。
為了抗日，苗栗銅鑼灣鄉村秀才吳湯興投筆從戎，組成了客家義民軍。當他率領客家男丁為保家衛國而奮戰時，他的妻子黃賢妹則與全村女眷共同染衣耕作，作為他的強力後盾。吳湯興起初屢戰屢捷，後來卻在新竹阻擋日軍失利，並陷苦戰於苗栗，雖於八卦山勇挫日軍，但最後仍不幸身亡。當不幸消息傳來，哀痛逾恆的黃賢妹，決定投井殉夫…。片中描寫族群融合的精神，是所有演員在最近紛亂的時局下，最希望傳達的意念。
《一八九五》片中的場景巡訪台灣多處古蹟，包括板橋林家花園、新竹新埔雙堂屋和北埔天水堂…等地，唯美的場景也引發客家文化尋訪熱潮。除了感人的情節，導演洪智育也希望觀眾透過《一八九五》的呈現，跟著電影好好的去看看自己的土地─台灣。

1895 is the first movie in Taiwan in which the Hakka dialect is extensively spoken. The movie came highly recommended by politicians, and was heavily promoted on Formosa Television and Hakka TV. The film reenacted stories of the Hakka resistance armies against the invading Japanese troops, and was shot at over 30 locations across Taiwan. The beauty and magnificence of the scenes shot in the film rendered the work a rarity in Taiwan films.
Township Scholar Wu Tang-hsing from Miaoli’s Tongluo Bay decided to give up his academic pursuits for a military career as news of the Japanese invasion broke out. He formed a Yimin army, consisting of Hakka men, to defend his country. His wife, Huang Hsien-mei and womenfolk of the whole township joined hands to dye and make clothes, irrigating the farms, becoming the strong backup for the men. At first Wu was victorious in every one of his battles, but suffered a setback in Hsinchu when he attempted to block the Japanese army. He and his men struggled in Miali, and though the army finally defeated the Japanese troops, Wu died in the battle. The sad news came, and his now widowed wife, Huang Hsien-mei, committed suicide in memory of her dead husband. The work depicted harmony among different ethnic groups, a message that is sorely needed in the recent political tumult.
The movie featured a good number of popular historic sites in Taiwan, including the Lin Family Mansion and Garden, Shuangtang House in Hsin-pu and Tian Shuei Tang in Bei-pu. These scenes are expected to trigger a buzz in exploring the Hakka traditional treasures. In addition to the touching story, director Hong Zhiyu also hopes that the audience would listen to the message of his movie and learn to appreciate and love the land that mothers them – Taiwan.
