Before I was born, in 1968.
it is the super 8 film of my mom and dad’s marriage. Just a roll
though. There are many amazing things in the film. My dad and
mom of course, the way the marriage was done back then, cars,
highways, shooting on cars on highways, people, there was even
one child taking a blow of rice eating in the street while looking
at my dad going up to “pick up” my mom in Shum Shu po… and the
brilliant textures and colours (of course, at that time, there
was no telecine and colours correction and I didn’t change the
colours at all), the soft edges of shapes in sprite of high contrast…
the mood… and the red that no other medium can offer you…and the
red, colour for Chinese wedding. Good health and long live my
dad and mom… |
