Old films and their charm

This is one of the most amazing links I saw in 2010.
Singapore in 1957

History has never come so alive before! Even though it was filmed from the colonists' eyes, the scenes and street views were truly ours and I just have to keep telling myself, that was the Singapore which my grandmothers and my parents would have memories of !

Old films have a charm in them.

I finished reading George Owell's classic 1984 on my trip (which became a must read for me after encountering it in my course) and had the story images filling up my head. I found the link for the first movie based on 1984. It was made in 1956 ( notice the years?) and the music was so fitting for the mood of the novel---scary. I saw the trailer for the newer film and decided that if I am to spend 2 hours watching it, it would be the old one first, as it is nearer to the writing time. There's a newer film made in 1984 (so symbolic!) Perhaps it is me, I kind of like things in their chronological order, if i have a choice.

PS: it is tagged under 看戏随身书，though it really should be 电影原著篇
