Or only those with the title "Hometown" can resonate more

Or, only people with the title "Hometown" can resonate more with this movie. China has indeed been developing and changing at a high speed in the past 30 years. Some people have left their hometowns and entered the cities, and some people have stayed in their hometowns. Of course, those who stick to it, and those who stick to it, also face parting and missing.
The movie uses a space that spans the era of yesterday and today to describe a story that seems faint but haunts all the time. When Tao dances in the snow, playing music from the 90s, the corner of your mouth is smiling, but your tears stop. Can't stop staying, I don't know why I cry.
Probably because of my nostalgia.
The director is too good at the use of small elements, some symbols of the times, and even the irony of society are faintly permeating the plot. Santana, gas station, crashed plane, coal truck, second man's pneumoconiosis, overseas work, quotation of ambulance sent to his hometown, the name of the young man, Chinese training class in Australia. There are also small objects, but there are too deep emotional surges, the dog that accompanies the heroine, the dusty invitations, the key of the little hero, and the gun that the hero likes.
In fact, at the beginning of the movie, the outdated 4:3 format and the old scene made it difficult for people who like to watch exciting commercial films to enter, but as the plot unfolded, it sucked people in, watching and aftertaste. There are probably many such people around me. When I was a child, I was born in the countryside. Later, they either studied, worked, or transformed urban and rural areas. They have left the countryside for many years, their hometown for many years, and even their immediate relatives have gone deep into the city. Only go home once in a while. But the faint beauty in the shade of the sycamore trees in the alley where we played after school in childhood or adolescence is still buried in the memory. However, when you return to your hometown today, what you see in the past is the scene of green trees and full crops, but it has turned into a blunt chemical factory just like the mechanization of the city. The former friends are also different.
Dollar wanted to go home, but he didn't succeed in the end. It was the helplessness of many new generation of urbanites, and some of his hometowns were not the same as before. Tao is happy. Although she is missing her relatives, she is still guarding the gas station and sticking to her hometown. Besides, dancing in the snow, she feels as if she was in the past.
