Qi ren yue dui

For anyone who has lived a big chunk of their lives in Hong Kong, especially pre-1997, this movie will be a very nostalgic experience. I lived there from 1988-97, leaving when Hong Kong was handed over to China.

Watching this brought back a lot of great memories about a Hong Kong that just doesn't exist anymore. It used to be such a vibrant place, a wonderful ethnic hotpot of people, intermingled with the Chinese population. Sad to say, that Hong Kong is gone forever.

I think these seven short movies captured the nature of Hong Kong, each sending the viewer a message about what used to be. The final segment, directed by Tsui Hark, sent a very interesting message about the current psyche of Hong Kong, albeit wrapped up in a very funny situation.

Recommended viewing for anyone who lived there back in the day, or anyone who wants to know what pre-handover Hong Kong was like.
