Echoes of the Rainbow tells a story of an ordinary family are living in Sham
Shui Po, Hong Kong, from 1967 to 1977, with a struggling father from
Guangzhou, an iron-willed mother supporting the family and their kids
facing
countless challenges from the changing world with an upbeat
attitude. In this
film, Simon Yam won the best actor award in the recent
Hong Kong Film Awards
for his role as a dull cobbler, Sandra Ng a
sharp-tongued-but-soft-hearted
housewife, and Ann Hui, one of the best
film directors in Hong Kong, cameo as a
kindergarten teacher. Between
tears and smiles, their stories touch your heart.
The little boy who played the main character is an incredibly good
actor! The
songs they used were so evocative that I downloaded them
immediately and have
not stopped playing them since. "Heartwarming" is
an overused term, but is
especially appropriate for this film.
