Classic movies made in the 80s—the “Golden Age” of Cantonese movies—like “Nomad” or “My Heart Is That Eternal Rose” greatly reflected Hong Kong’s culture. After all, Hong Kong, despite being a small city, is cultivated with cultures of the East and the West.

Whether you read the book or watched the film, all of us were fascinated by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We wanted to tour around the factory just like the kids with the golden tickets did and get a taste of that chocolate river. But alas, it was all fiction. Much like we’ll never get our own letter to Hogwarts, we’ll also never get a golden ticket, no matter how many bars of chocolate we eat.
