The film's original Chinese title is "花样年华" that means "the age of blossoms" or "the flowery years" which is a Chinese metaphor for the fleeting time of youth, beauty and love. The actress Maggie Cheung's performance just match this meaning providentially. She always worn cheongsam through the film which best reflects the women's characteristics of Hong Kong in the 1960s.
Cheongsam is an amazing costume, not as many shining bare-chested evening dress, it wrapped very tight, but extremely sexy. In the movie, Maggie Cheung replaced two dozen dress which are all very beautiful and attractive. With the Cheongsam cloth changing, the actress showed different state of mind which looked sometimes melancholy, sometimes graceful, sometimes sad, sometimes generous.
In the dim light, although the actress kept changing the color and style of Cheongsam, the audience still not feel redundant, but enjoy oriental classical temperament bloom. Especially the actress's slender figure, quite natural walk swing and soft qualities create a natural era atmosphere.
I used to experience a dress show when i was study in China in 2011. I took part in a cloth party show at the Christmas day, hold by New Dynamic Institute, which called "Super model". We have five group, each group has randomly chose a different theme to demonstrate, which include retro style, comic style, national style, preppy style and elegant style. Our group has chosen the retro style, and we have 6 girls and 2 boys. so girls are choosing the Cheong-sam, boys are choosing Chinese tunic suit. At that time, we have to do the model show and the background music is just "Yumeji's Theme". It was so impressive that all the members try their best to win the first prize which is a crystal trophy.
