消失的檔案
Vanished Archives
很難想像一件影響香港至今的歷史事件,翻開政府檔案,全是空的。
1967 年發生的工人大規模罷工事件,引發了一連串或稱作反英抗暴或稱
作暴動的事件。曾經有一段日子,香港街道瀰漫恐怖氣氛,新聞紙上天
天說街上發現假炸彈、警察拉了某某少年犯。歷史的真實本來就很難望
清,但基本發生過的事情,還是有被釐清的需要。可惜時至今天,因為
政府檔案的不透明,以及大量意識形態論述的影響,這段香港歷史一直
被霧氣所籠罩,沒法看清真象。羅恩惠花了四年時間,以紀錄片的形式
處理六七議題,她認為「這是香港人的記憶,事實不容塗脂抹粉」。
The mind literally boggles, as you try to dig out government records of a
momentous event in Hong Kong history but find nothing at all! In 1967, a large-
scale labour strike escalated into what is now known as the Anti-Hong Kong British
Persecution Struggle, or simply as riots. There was a time in this city when fear had
become a great common denominator. “Fake bombs discovered!”, “Young mobsters
arrested!” screamed the newspaper headlines day after day. It’s never easy to
find out the truth in history. That said, things that happened should see the light
nonetheless. Unfortunately, due to the lack of transparency in government records
and extensive propagandizing, this slice of local history has been shrouded in a veil
of secrecy to this day. Director Connie Lo spent four years on this documentary to
make a statement: “This is part of Hong Kong people’s memories. The truth should
never be glorified or compromised.”

香港製造
Made in Hong Kong
現在談論「香港製造」,人人趨之若鶩。將時間撥回 1997,「香港製造」
可能只是迷茫的代名詞。在這齣極低成本製作的電影裡,你會看到幾個問
題少年,試圖以問題解決問題,用疑惑掩蓋疑惑,最後所有路向都以失敗
告終。軟弱的男主角中秋為了女主角阿萍,決定做人生唯一一次大事:做
殺手。本應慷慨就義,買了手槍卻不敢下手,最後竟是在中秋時節以槍代
刀切月餅。1997,你以為一定會出甚麼大事,但九七之後是九八,九八以
後是九九,直至二零一七,年年中秋,大時大節,例行公事。陳果是在暗
示香港製造的一事無成,抑或預見主權移交後山雨欲來,最終還是會不敵
怯懦?廿年後的今天,重提「香港製造」,香港還是香港嗎?
Talk about Made in Hong Kong today, and many concur that it’s a Hong Kong film
that belongs to Hong Kong people. Back in 1997 however, it might have just been a
byword for uncertainty. In this shoestring production, a bunch of problematic youths
try to solve problems but end up creating more; their doubtful efforts lead nowhere
but only breed more doubts. In a desperate attempt to save his lover, the film’s hero
Moon decides to do it big – make a fast buck as a hired gun. As it turns out, Moon’s
cowardice gets the better of him and he chickens out at the last minute. His gun,
ironically enough, becomes the knife which he uses to cut the mooncake! Back in
the day, everyone cringed at the mention of the number 1997. But now in 2017, the
moon waxes and wanes every year as if she didn’t care. Did Fruit Chan mean to say
that everything is doomed, or that cowardice is the ultimate winner in post-handover
Hong Kong? Today after two decades, is Hong Kong still the Hong Kong we knew?
