Before the TV series "Flowers" started, I was eager to try it and was full of expectations.
The director of "Flowers" is Wong Kar-wai, a big name in the film industry, I have watched his "In the Mood for Love", and I also want to see what the TV series made by such a big director will be like.
"Flowers" invested 500 million yuan and was filmed for 3 years, which can be described as meticulously carved, and it sounds a little unbelievable, plus there are many star actors in this drama, Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Tang Yan, take out any one, they are all well-known figures in the TV drama circle, so "Flowers" is still very attractive to me.
But when I started watching the drama, my perception was very bad, I didn't think it was good-looking, and I even couldn't watch it a little, I felt that "Flowers" became "chaotic", which can only be described in one word, that is, "chaotic".
First of all, the background of this TV series is pitch black, I look a little dizzy, my eyes hurt, and there are few long shots in the play, they are all short shots close-up, which feels disorganized and has no sense of beauty.
I like to watch quiet, plot-based dramas, but there are often flashbacks and interludes in this drama, and many plots are carried out in the lines.
The actresses in the play also spoke too fast, barely watched a few episodes, and caught up with Ma Yili's extremely fast speech as if they were arguing, coupled with dim tones, crowded staircase perspectives and close-up shots such as crowds, I felt that I couldn't stand it, and I felt very irritable when I watched and listened to it.
I have also worked and lived in Shanghai for a period of time, and I feel that Shanghainese people are not as exaggerated as in the play, they are all gentle and soft, why did it become like this in the play?Could this be Wong Kar-wai's characteristic?
To be honest, I really can't appreciate it, this TV series won't all be filmed at night, right?Otherwise, why is it confused and dim from beginning to end?
Watching the TV series was originally to relax, but this TV series looks tired, the sound is very annoying, and the atmosphere is depressing
It seems that the shooting is tall and the technique is superb, but I don't know what the actors are doing, and after watching it, I feel confused and don't know what to do.
I was going to watch Hu Ge, but I really couldn't stand it, although the director has a big coffee position and the actors have good acting skills, but the plot is reversed, the camera switches too fast, I can see that I am covered by clouds and mountains, and I barely watched 6 episodes, I still gave up the drama, and I regret wasting time and energy.
But my husband and I have a different opinion, he thinks that "Flowers" is very well filmed, and it is the best TV series filmed in recent years.
He said, "How can you not understand it?".The plot is very simple, but it uses a lot of movie montage techniques to narrate, isn't it the story of Hu Ge's A Bao as the main line?”
And Wong Kar-wai's style is like that, the pictures and character lines are very metaphorical, inexplicable or ambiguous, his works are not straightforward, but let you experience it again, you can understand it when you bring yourself into that environment. ”
You have to stick to the theme of 'flowers' to see, think about the kind of flowers in full bloom, dazzling and dazzling, gorgeous and splendid. Flowers represent that each flower (a metaphor for everyone) is striving for its own bloom and its own place. Because of the competition for beauty, the flowers are in full bloom, and because the flowers are in full bloom, they are prosperous, this is a picture of the times, and it is a group drama. ”
My husband was talking with a puffy eyebrow and a dry mouth, but I was still not interested in the show.
I have to say that Wong Kar-wai is too unfathomable and obscure for me, I think I liked to watch "In the Mood for Love" at the beginning, and I was also attracted by Maggie Cheung's more than 20 cheongsams, if I just watched the plot, I guess I don't like to watch it very much.
However, after watching the finale of "Flowers", my husband sighed and said that he regretted watching "Flowers"!
As soon as I heard this, my eyes lit up, and I felt that I had finally found an "ally": "How?".I'm not wrong, this show is not good-looking, why did you find out until the last episode?”
Who knew that the guy pouted and said: "I think it will take 3 years for Wong Kar-wai to shoot "Flowers", and it is not certain when to shoot the next drama, after watching "Flowers", I can't watch other dramas......."”
A "Flowers", my husband and I regretted it, but the reasons for regret are different, do you regret it?And what kind of regret?
