Dear, recently some netizens posted nostalgia for the costume dramas they chased when they were children, mentioning that although many of the top actresses of the year had superb acting skills and beautiful appearances, their costume shapes were indeed a little strange, which did not match the background of the era at that time. This made me think deeply about the costumes I used to see.
Back then, many of us watched the works of those actresses with a yearning for them, even if their costumes were a little weird, it didn't affect our appreciation and fascination at all. However, as time passes, when we look back, we suddenly find all kinds of inconsistencies that we have not noticed.
This can't help but make people feel whether we should examine our inner blindness more, learn to discern the essence of things, and not be confused by appearances.
When we reminisce about our favorite costume dramas when we were children, the smart and vivid performances of the heroines always attract our attention. For example, in "The History of Martial Arts", Bai Feifei played by Wang Yan wears a leaf shape and a light gauze dress, as if a fairy is in the world, which makes people can't take their eyes off it.
Bai Ling in "Tang Ming Huang", the upper body is antique, but the lower body is shorts and boots, the visual contrast is very strong, but the actress's acting skills are impressive and unforgettable. Another example is Princess An Ning played by Bao Lei in "The Unruly Princess", who not only made bold moves, but also often showed people with exposed thighs, which was rare at the time.
However, when we look back at the heroines' looks after watching the plot, many oddities surface. For example, in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", the dress of the evil demon girl Wan Wan, with a red gauze skirt and shoulder decorations, is completely as if she has traveled from a cosplay venue.
In "Baolian Lantern", Xiaoyu's hair explodes, and her shape looks like a walking turkey. In "Little Fish and Flowers", Su Ying's hot pants and long boots are very different from the image of a scholar. All of this makes people feel a little abrupt and inconsistent.
However, at that time, we were all deeply impressed by the acting skills and charm of the heroines, so much so that we did not focus on their eccentric shapes at all, even if they were incompatible with the background of the era at that time. Perhaps this is the blindness of adolescence. But when we look back today, we can't help but feel a little sorry for our own glimpse.
This incident quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet, and some netizens thought that the costume style of the year did have a kind of capricious charm, and it is no wonder that we liked it very much when we were young. And now that the criteria for judging are different, we will notice all kinds of unreasonableness.
Some netizens also believe that in fact, the entertainment environment in that era was not as developed as it is now, and it was easier for everyone to be satisfied, and they would not particularly carefully examine the details in the play, as long as the story is good-looking and the actors' acting skills are online, even if the shape is a little strange, it is acceptable.
Some netizens believe that even now, if an actor's acting skills are very good, he successfully portrays the role, and makes the audience follow the plot, he will not go out of his way to complain about whether his/her costume style is reasonable. The key is still in the acting itself, and the external costumes can be tolerated.
Each of the three views has its own merits. Indeed, differences in entertainment environments and aesthetics will shape different perspectives from which we appreciate the work. But essentially, the most important thing about a good work is the story and the performances of the actors, which is the key to the audience's continued attention.
To sum up, the bold and open styling design of the heroines of costume dramas, on the one hand, echoes the characteristics of the era of bold pursuit of excitement and individuality, and on the other hand, it also contains the limitations of the less mature entertainment environment of that year.
As fans of dramas back then, we may be able to tolerate those immature and charming works. However, in addition to looking back, we should also have a heart of examination and improvement, constantly improve our aesthetic ability and judgment, and learn to discover the essential value of works.
Now, how do you think we should deal with the relationship between appearance and content when appreciating a work? Beyond all kinds of external factors, let's explore how to sublimate through the core value of the work.
