Let's crank up the music!

The Chinese name of the movie is <岁月神偷>，which means "The thief master - years". It also conveys a meaning of "the thief master of the years". So when the first time I heard of the movie, I thought it was about a thief who was very good at stealing through years. But after watching it, I found out it was totally a different story. It was a touching one.

100% made in Hong Kong, it was based on the experience of the writer/director Alex Law. The story was about a family who live on making shoes went through the test of life and love.

At the very beginning of the movie, the camera brought us back to an old Hong Kong in 60's. The whole story was told by a 8-year-old child named Law chun yee, who was a very naughty primary school student. He used his own child way to express the story of his family and his feeling. His father was a hard-working shoe-maker. His mother was a smart and virtuous housewife, who was known as "Ms. Robin Hood". His young brother Desmond was an all-around student, who performed well in both sports and study. He was the hope of his family, and he was also the pride of the Wing Lee Street he lived. Though was poor, they all happily lived in their small shoe shop.

However, a sweet and pure first love between Desmond and a wealthy daughter, an unmerciful Hurricane which spread through the whole Hong Kong, and a latent nightmare silently turn this happy family into a broken one in one night. Facing the misfortune and poverty, their mother always cheer them on believing there always be a hope. Where there's hope, there's a way. Years has stolen their happiness and their pride. They choose to fight with the years till the end and never give up. I think that's so-called Hong Kong spirit, which the movie want to convey.
