胡楓的年代 The era of Wu Feng

突然心血來潮，想寫個中文博客 ，可能因為剛剛看了一套〈粵語殘片〉吧，是胡楓的「一帆風順」，還有李香琴和鄭君棉！小時候讀下午班，所以早上可以跟外婆一起看電視節目〈粵語長片〉，我們香港人則喜歡叫它做〈粵語殘片〉，因為全是很舊的黑白片。可能是這樣子，我特別愛看香港五六十年代的黑白片，往往令我想起過了身的外婆和舊居。到現在，我還是覺得當年的明星很有〈星味〉，衣著和言行舉止都很迷人。而我最愛的就是胡楓和張英才！現今因為有了ＤＶＤ，我就有更多的機會去看這些舊片，所以每次回港，我都要〈上倉〉！

I suddenly had the urge to write a Chinese blog, probably because I just watched an old Cantonese film called "Yi Fan Feng Shun" (Smooth Sailing,) with Wu Feng,  Li Xiang Qing and Zheng Jun Mien.  They're famous Hong Kong actors from the 50s and 60s.  When I was young, my primary school classes were all in the afternoon, so my mornings were always free, I usually just stayed home and watched old black and white films on telly with my grandmother, (there was this telly program called "Cantonese feature films" at 10am daily, and we loved to call it “Cantonese ruined/old films" cause most of them were so old and scratched up.)  Maybe that's why I particularly love Hong Kong films from the 50s and 60s, they reminded me of my late grandmother and my old home.  I still find the actors from that era so charismatic, they processed a kind of charisma and "stardom" that I rarely find in contemporary actors.  My favorite ones are Wu Feng and Zhang Ying Cai (they looked so classy and irresistible in those suits circa. 1950s, and with a fedora too... then forget it!  Now why can't men look like that these days!?)  With modern technology, a lot of these old films are being re-released on DVDs now, and so I got to stock them up every time I go back to HK!
