Catch this movie *歲月神偷* Echoes of the Rainbow*

Catch this movie if u haven't!


ECHOES OF THE RAINBOW transports us to vintage Hong Kong in the 1960s, a long lost era that was once peppered with beauty, charm and character.


The story is narrated through the eyes of one gawky pre-teenager, our protagonist.

He comes from this simple family.

His father (SIMON YAM) is simple. He’s hard nosed, works as a cobbler and is a disciplinarian.

His mother (SANDRA NG) is simple. She believes in the sunny side, that everything is attainable, if you dare dream.

His elder brother (AARIF LEE) is simple. He has those dreamy eyes for his tropical fishes and sports, until he discovers his one true puppy love.

Our protagonist is simple. He sees life through rose-tinted innocence.

The plot is simple. Life is about love.

Love and loyalty for your parents, siblings, neighbors, friends and your sweetheart.

SIMON YAM is absolutely good. He shows us that he retains versatility in choices of characters. He plays a good father this time round, after a string of baddie roles.

SANDRA NG is no longer a madcap this time. She is the doting mother with an eye for positivism and this is pivotal during hard times, in keeping the family together.

Enjoy the beautiful score in this fantastic movie and behold a new rising sexy Hong Kong star called AARIF LEE, a cross between FEI XIANG and LEE HOM. He’s one actor to watch in the coming years.

As this reviewer has said earlier, love can be simple and that there’s no greater journey than the one that leads you to love.
ECHOES OF THE RAINBOW is an award winning film that demonstrates that life and family are only complete if we treasure love.


Enjoy today as the clock goes ticking, as we can never know what tomorrow will bring.
Because time and tide wait for no man.
And that life is a series of comings and goings.
Not forgetting DEATH, as all human beings have to depart this earth one day.
ECHOES OF THE RAINBOW is such a lilting splendid film that you cannot afford to miss!








Catch it! Beautiful songs too!
