The TV series "Flowers" has received high ratings since it was broadcast, which is refreshing. It is not just a work, but more like a cultural phenomenon, allowing the audience to relive history in front of the screen and feel the changes of the times. In the play, the reproduction of history and art has aroused heated discussions among the audience. Some viewers were amazed, while others questioned it, and these different voices made "Flowers" the focus of heated discussions.
First of all, the conflict between the representation of history and the viewing of the play has triggered different opinions among the audience. Some viewers believe that there are discrepancies between the historical details in the series and the actual situation, while others believe that TV dramas, as an art form, should pay more attention to viewing and emotional expression. This divergence is the beginning of the complex repercussions caused by the work of "Flowers".
In the process of watching, the audience also needs to discern the boundary between the fictional plot in the series and the real history. Although "Flowers" is set in Shanghai in the 20th century, the production team has also carried out a certain degree of artistic processing in the interpretation of the story. This treatment not only attracts the audience's attention, but also provokes them to think about the authenticity of history.
Director Wong Kar-wai, in anticipation of this controversy, particularly emphasized the restoration of the feelings of the work. He believes that instead of dwelling on the accuracy of every historical detail, it is better to focus more on the emotions of the characters and the spirit of the times. Wong Kar-wai's attitude, to a certain extent, calmed the controversy among the audience, and also reflected his unique insights as a director.
At the same time as the drama was broadcast, the phenomenon of anachronism also stimulated the public's enthusiasm for historical discussion and educational discussion. The era described in "Flowers" may be more like a distant story for contemporary young audiences. Therefore, the series is not only an entertainment work, but also a kind of historical teaching material, allowing the audience to cross the boundaries of time and space through the screen and experience the charm of history firsthand.
The drama's visual restoration of Shanghai in the 90s has been affirmed by people inside and outside the industry. Whether it is the selection of costumes or the layout of the scene, they strive to restore the style of that era. However, there is also controversy caused by the expression of the sense of the times, and some viewers think that some details in the play are different from the actual memory of the 90s.
The word-of-mouth of "Flowers" is polarized. On the one hand, the unique visual style of the series and the excellent acting skills of the actors have been praised by many audiences, and on the other hand, the discussion of the historical restoration and sense of the times in the series has not stopped. This controversy may have become a sign of the work's success, but at the same time, it may also have an impact on the series' word-of-mouth and ratings.
In the public discussion, the audience discussed the background setting of the series and the degree of restoration of the times. These discussions not only start from the plot and characters, but also involve music, costumes, props and other aspects, reflecting the audience's high level of participation and in-depth thinking about the work.
The drama "Flowers" itself is a focus of controversy. The era it depicts is both familiar and unfamiliar to the current audience. This kind of background setting in time and space provides an opportunity for the audience to recognise and understand history.
In terms of casting, the performance of the leading actor Hu Ge has been well received by the industry and the audience. He digs deep into the inner emotions of the characters, making the characters three-dimensional and vivid, the emotional experience is full, and the scenes touch people's hearts.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that "Flowers" is adapted from the award-winning novel of the same name. The purpose of the series is not to reproduce the original book word for word, but to try to show the colorful historical picture of Shanghai in the audiovisual language. In the process, it has succeeded in attracting widespread attention to history, art, and culture.
