+ symbolism: One would assume that there would be some popular metaphorical meaning for the flowers; a meaning of love or romance. The movies in our pop culture tell another story from a different point of view. It shows emotions of empathy, destruction, lust, wanting, rebirth, purity, death and various other emotions that can be translated through our screens. In the Victorian era, flowers were primarily used to deliver messages that couldn’t be spoken aloud. In a sort of silent dialogue.
