After watching "Flowers" for the second time, I understood why Wong Kar-wai used "Stealing Hearts", and who Ah Bao liked had already made it clear
Jacky Cheung's concert in Quanzhou, he sang "Stealing Hearts", which became popular because of "Flowers".
After singing this song, Jacky Cheung said with a smile that the song "Stealing Hearts" is difficult to sing, so after it was released in 1994, he didn't sing it much, and if you calculate carefully, it should not be more than three times before and after. After saying this, Jacky Cheung himself couldn't help laughing.
Jacky Cheung said that he is very grateful to the staff in front of and behind the scenes of "Flowers", who made this song come back to life.
It was precisely because I listened to the song "Stealing Hearts" sung by Jacky Cheung at the concert that I curiously watched the 14th episode of "Flowers" again. After watching episode 14 for the second time, I found out why Wong Kar-wai used this song "Stealing Hearts".
In episode 14, Miss Wang asked her uncle to bring a message to Bao, if Bao still wants Miss Wang to be by his side in the future, then we will meet at half past eight in the evening.
As a result, Ah Bao did not go to the appointment, but went directly to Tao Tao, and at this time, "Stealing Hearts" sounded for the first time.
On one side, Ah Bao and Tao Tao were eating, drinking, and playing cards together, and Ah Bao was laughing all the time.
When Ah Bao left, Tao Tao looked at his back and said that Ah Bao had an accident. Tao Tao said that since he met Bao, he had only seen Bao once. And the time that Tao Tao said in his mouth was the time when Ah Bao and Xuezhi broke up.
On the other side, Miss Wang has been anxiously waiting for Bao, from half past eight to eleven o'clock.
In the song of "Stealing Hearts", both Bao and Miss Wang's hearts were "stolen" by each other. Since then, Po and Miss Wang have been completely separated.
In fact, it should be seen from this time that the person Ah Bao really likes is Miss Wang. It's just that everyone thought that Ah Bao would be with Li Li at that time, so they ignored this.
It was also in episode 14 that Po recalled his past with Xuezhi.
After Xuezhi came back from Hong Kong to meet Po, Xuezhi left in a car, and "Stealing Hearts" sounded again.
Po looked at the oncoming bus No. 13 and couldn't help but think of the previous Xuezhi.
Xue Zhi sat in the car, looking out at the street, and her face was full of loss.
I don't know if Bao's heart was "stolen" by Xuezhi at this time, or Xuezhi's heart is still here with Bao.
In the same episode, Po first rejects Miss Wang, and then recalls his past with his first love Xuezhi, which makes it easy to connect the two things, Po rejects Miss Wang because Xuezhi, and Po and Xuezhi have a ten-year contract.
This is reminiscent of the last episode of "Flowers", where Po went to Hong Kong and fulfilled his ten-year appointment with Xuezhi. Does this mean that Po can put down everything and be with Miss Wang?
Therefore, "Flowers" is very interesting, and the background music used by Wong Kar-wai is all intentional. You may not feel like it the first time you watch it, but you will find something new when you watch it again. What do you say?
