<<881>>

Local movie production <<881>> ... no matter good or bad ... at least it has done something nice ... pulling many families together. I mean at least for me, I get to watch a movie in a cinema with my family after such long long long time. The last time I think was decades ago at Majestic cinema, Chinatown, when the tickets were still selling at $.150 and peanuts going for 50 cents. Time flies ...

<<881>> is a movie by Royston 陳子謙, telling story about 七月歌台and the life of her singers. It is a very local-favored musical. Royston, together with local top producer/songwriter/arranger Eric 黃韻仁, has "violated" the conventional way of presenting a musical-movie. The end product is (at least for me) a new fashion. Exactly like a fashion, there are questions which we shouldn't be asking too much when watching the movie. Coz like a fashion, it entails a spirit ... a never-say-die spirit to live your life and live your dreams. The story says it;the music says it;the whole production crew of <<881>>says it !!!

The movie has touched the heart of many young ones, which make them aware and even start to trace their roots. Hopefully, these young ones could understand a little more where their ancestors come from. We should also acknowledge how our ancestors, and even our parents, have been a great part in our life.

<<881>> - HUAT LAH !!!
