[Reading Response: Ackbar Abbas AND/ OR Giuliano Bruno]
During the first two lectures, I have learned how an architecture plays important role in film. It have several functions, but mostly it emphasizes the realism of film. The reason why those architecture such can support the realism of film is because a building indeed contains some cultural factors. For instance, one of the reading by Abbas, he mentioned some buildings that show cultural identities in Hong Kong. One of them is Flagstaff building. It was impressive personally since I actually saw it before. The appearance of building is exotic, since it was constructed in 1840s when Hong Kong was colonized by British. However, it was hard to say it disappears the cultural identity of Hong Kong at the end of class. Because history is also a part of cultures. Not any single country has exactly same history. Due to this aspect, this leads to question that what is the standard of ‘disappearance’ in architecture.
