From my iPhone
from my ipad
I clicked the old Hong Kong Films:
a film was shot when I was born
I saw familiar places
those places where my parents had been to
yet somehow I had never managed to visit
another film with familiar parks
where I went when I was little
though somehow the sight could only be recaptured through this iPad or iPhone clicking
Some other films
with impactful images
almost reminiscent of a scene from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet
or the anticipation of another famous scene by Zeffirelli?
and finally
places that I used to frequent in Hong Kong
: Star Ferry
the Central District
or St.Magaret’s Church
where The Window was filmed
and then
a familiar image that somehow recalls that of Michelangelo- the Birth Of Adam
though the roles are slightly transformed ( from God the Father giving Life to Adam to the repented man giving sight to Eve )
A ten year span ( film taken from 1958 to 1968 ), but what a span
it warmed my heart of a Hong Kong past
and Hence
these watercolour images
To thank the invention of cinema, of IPhone and IPad
(and of course,) the actors and directors who provided us with these precious memories
thank you
