How cool was Hong Kong in the early 60’s?

by Doug LeMoine on 7 June 2009

Walking around the Maxwell Food Market near Singapore’s Chinatown reminded of Wong Kar Wai’s excellent movie about Hong Kong in the early 60’s In the Mood for Love. After I watched it last night, I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to actually travel back in time, or just walk inside an imagined version of the past.

Wong Kar-Wai - In the Mood for Love - Mahjong

Wong Kar-Wai - In the Mood for Love - Cafe

Wong Kar-Wai - In the Mood for Love - Alley

Robots say these are related: So you can’t stop moonwalking; Kansas basketball / Another early exit; Business travel is not so bad sometimes;

Do you mean to say that the weather back to those days was not so hot so those ladies dressed high-collar Qipao?

Or they are simply cool in fashionable sense?
