The summer season.
Where many big productions begin to screen in cinemas. The Dark Knight, John Woo's Red Cliff and even my favorite male actor Will Smith in Hancock. And so on...
From the films that I've mentioned, I had never seen any of them.
However...
There is one film recommended by the Hong Kong International Film Festival. It's a film that takes the subject matter of the Tin Shui Wai community.
Just a couple of days ago, I went out to see "The Way We Were".
It's a low budget production. There's no well known or popular actors in this movie. They basically casted elder actors from ATV (Pau Hei-Ching and Chan Lai-Wan. They also got a new male actor named Leung Chun-Lung.
Pau Hei-Ching (elder sister to 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon' cinematographer Peter Pau) and Chan Lai-Wan are very good actors. Frankly speaking, what had convinced me to spend 90 minutes in the theatre was her. Director Ann Hui. This is no typical commercial film. There is not much of a climax in the plot either. Everything seems so casual. In a way, it feels like an RTHK program. But you can sense a bit of reality in it. Filming locations include places like the escalator alley, community plaza, the streets, restaurants and etc. It immediately reminds me of the days when I used to live in the projects. When we watch a lot of films filled with fantasy and unrealistic element in plot, that warm feeling in a wonderful little film like this does indeed feel good and convincingly real.|
