SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind.

SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.

Obituary : Kwan Hoi San, RIP 
Permanent link Post a Comment

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Kwan Hoi San, one of HK's best and most revered actor has died on 11.09.2006 at the age of 82. I feel very saddened by this news eventhough in recent years he had stopped acting due to a stroke that left him unable to speak or I think even walk but reports had it that he was feeling better until this death that is. He often looked older than his age, in fact much much older and he always took the roles of fathers, grandfathers, someone's older uncle because of his old looks. But he always excelled and I remember everytime he acted out a scene where his character was having chest pain or heart attack, his face red and flushed, I always thought he was actually have one. He was that great and some may argue a far better actor than the already great actor Chun Pui. He belonged to the generation of actors that made acting look so effortless when it wasn't. He was mostly seen on TV and especially in classic TVB series with other great ones, namely Alex Man whom I hope will make a come back. You should remmeber him from arguably TVB most rented, famous and one of the all time classics,, Looking Back In Anger where he played Carina Lau's demanding but ultimately good father, with Felix Wong as the son in law. Ironincally Carina Lauu's father died I believe in the same week also. Some younger ones may recall him in Kindred Spirit though I can't remember he was in that show and I prefer to remmeber him in better known and well written series. I shall mourn his loss, as well as many others who recognise his work.

What I feel very disgusted with was I am not sure if ASTRO or TVB ever done any of these, but I remember when Anita Mui, Roman Tam and Leslie Cheung, all singers by the way died, the next day there was a whole day tribute and rerun of their shows for the entire weak with friends and family paying tribute on TV. I haven't seen any for this great actor and of all the actors there may be on TV right now and before, he definitely deserves that at minimal 1 day tribute and 1 week rerun of his famous shows.

A great loss although at 82 and with his long filmography, he has certainly lived a full and fruitful life. It wasn't fair he suffered a stroke in 2001 that robbed us of an opportunity to see more of his great acting and with his death, we can only celebrate his life through his performances. I can't say I have seen all of his work but I have seen plenty and it is suffice for me to say TVB has lost one of their greatest acting "teacher". With the ever decreasing quality in acting talents we have now at TVB, his passing is like the slow but impending end of the golden generation of actors.

I was also shocked and sadden by this news. A great actor indeed, who has brought much substance to the many movies and series he has acted in.

TVB should really do tribute to him, after all that he has contributed to all their timeless classics. Maybe a re-run of his serials...

R.I.P Uncle Kwan.
