Movie memorabilia recalls Ximending's glory days / 梁祝.俠女.二秦二林 老電影文物展懷舊　　　　　　　　　　

For many decades and even now, movies have been the prime entertainment for both men and women, young or old. To show the development of cinema in Taiwan, Shuxin Hall in Taipei's Ximending district is hosting an exhibition of old movie memorabilia. One of the most unique exhibit, is a hand-painted movie poster. Are you ready for some nostalgia? Let's take a look. The poster for "A Touch of Zen" has nostalgic charm. ==TSAN SU-CHENG, Taipei City Archives Director== In the shading, in comparison and the whole spirit of the role it really conveys the historical character of the female lead in A Touch of Zen From the 1950s-70s people were used to seeing hand-painted movie posters. As times change, with technological progress, these hand-painted posters have disappeared without a trace, gradually being replaced by mass produced posters. Although these are realistic, they lack the skill and charm of the hand painted versions. In the 1930's Taipei 's Ximending saw movie theaters flourish, bringing crowds to the area and making stars of film actors. In the 1960s, the actress Ling Bo who played Liang Xiong was hugely famous and toured the streets waving to fans from an open car. ==VISITOR== It's really amazing to see that, the whole street is filled with fans, its amazing. The next period would be the romantic movie era of Erqin Erlin , which is remembered fondly by many. The exhibition features early cinema tickets, antique projectors, postcards, and an introduction to a movie plot. In this age of digital movies these are all doubly valuable. TRANSLATED BY：CLARE LEAR 「俠女」正氣凜然的神韻、畫得唯妙唯肖，50到70年代民眾最熟悉的就是這種手繪的電影海報，隨著時代改變、科技進步，手繪海報早已消失無蹤，漸漸由大型輸出取代，然而畫面變真實、細膩度提高，卻似乎少了獨特的韻味。 ==台北市立文獻館館長 詹素貞== 它在明暗 它在對比上面 還有角色精神 神態上面 它完全傳達了一個 古代女子的 一個俠女的一個情狀 1930年台北西門町電影業、開始蓬勃發展，戲院如雨後春筍出現，帶來無數人潮，也造就出一個個風華絕代的巨星。60年代、飾演梁兄的凌波無懈可擊，只是在遊街車上揮手致意，一顰一笑，就造就出萬人空巷的場景。 ==民眾== 萬人空巷啊 那一出來 那簡直是轟動 整個馬路啊 都是人潮 而隨後的二秦二林，更是台灣愛情電影先驅，轟轟烈烈的對白，是大家共同的記憶。這項展覽展出不少早期戲院販售的電影票、古董放映機、明信片，甚至陳述劇情大綱的「本事」，在電影幾乎數位化的今日，顯得格外珍貴。 記者 朱芷儀 張梓嘉 台北報導
