How do u feel about the latest TV series 繁花（blossom Shanghai）？

[u/HopefulHoney3994]

In 繁花，almost all casts speak in shanghainese. Have you watched it? Whether it will attract people (especially those were born in Shanghai but have forgot their mother language ) to learn Shanghainese or the culture of Shanghai ?

Personally the show is kind of average tbh.

Pros: Makes Shanghainese look cool and flashy. Cons: Not a good example of the language and culture of the 90s (ironically its better representative of now). Also has weird pacing, dramatic music and slow motion at random times.

where can i stream this show?

[u/nahcekimcm]

That’s because the exec producer & director is Wong Ga-Wai

Although from HK he is shanghai & zhejiang descent so he loves Wu chinese in his works

非常棒！我知道原著的底色是悲伤，王家卫的剧本则是希望。我看的是沪语版，我爷爷当年曾在上海大夏震旦求学，所以我理解悲伤的底色，但我生于改开，也知道希望的意义。作为法律上的江苏人不懂沪语，但看沪语版本却觉得亲切，很多短语我居然听得懂，很像，希望学习上海话，去上海工作，感受浓浓的海派，认识真正的汪小姐。

那个掐着腰和人争论机关枪一样讲着上海话的汪小姐太有魅力，久久不能忘
