Movies

When I was a senior high student, rental video shops were a very popular place to be.

Back then, I have left school early just to go to see a movie in the city centre by myself a couple of times.

My interests were so broad from world indies to Hollywood. Although I was the only one who watched the satellite movie/sports channel, I asked my parents to subscribe it when they bought a new wide-screen TV set.

Saturdays in every second week of a month became a holiday for students who attend publicly funded schools from elementary to senior high schools at the time. A day before the Saturday holiday, I always go to Tsutaya, the rental video stores, in Yao and borrowed 2 or 3 movies each time.

I have watched a lot of movies, but there are so many movie titles that I can't recall. I was influenced by the movies I watched in some ways and I think I learned a lot of things from the movies.

My memories are in the foggy air, and they disappeared in cool winds and smell of grilled fish from a house nearby when getting close to the street with cherry blossoms trees beside the small river.
