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

7 June 2009 in cinema, the ancient past, travel | 1 comment

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.

    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?
