Go to the movies
- Viking International Co., Ltd.
As a daughter of a poster painter, Shu Hui was misunderstood by her classmates as a girl who "may watch movies for free and was very proud." She decided to clarify to her classmates, so she took the classmates to play at her home. When everyone saw the work of the poster painter, they were not only fascinated by the huge movie posters, but also learned how hard the artist’s work was. In the end, Dad did give them the movie tickets so they may meet to go to the cinemas together and watch the movie. The friendship of the three girls were like scenes in the movie with high-lights and finally back to peace.
The story took place in the 1950s and 1960s, when the movie industry was still in the heydays. There were no digital posters at that time, and the cinemas would hang gigantic oil-painted copies of movie posters which were all painted by the artists by hand, and the kind of posters may be seen everywhere. Readers may feel the feel the atmosphere of the years. It is like taking time machine and fly back to the year of early ages to see the golden ages when theaters were everywhere and the file industry was still prosperous. The common life and daily stories of the people are just like scenes of stories that is always happening around us.
