Zhang Yang can photograph love very lifely, and he can also photograph it very poetically. The inserted scenery of Shaanxi is very poetic, simple and extremely poetic. We always regard the Beijing circle culture as the most authentic representative of Chinese culture, with a Beijing accent and a cool character. The bathhouse is a symbol of Beijing circle culture. The bathhouse gathers all kinds of people in the city, but with the decline of the bathhouse, It seems that Beijing circle culture is also fading. Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen are the representatives of the Beijing circle. Their works are a Beijing accent. An "Old Pao" seems to indicate that people and things in the Beijing circle are being forgotten or not taken seriously. Feng Xiaogang himself should have this. This kind of feeling, so he incorporated this kind of prediction into "Old Cannon". In this film, the background given is that the bathhouse culture is gradually disappearing, and the bathing tools at the beginning also indicate that new things are occupying the territory that once belonged to the bathhouse, and finally, as the father of the older generation who developed with the bathhouse culture, is also bathing Chi Li died peacefully, and the etiquette of his father's funeral also expressed a farewell ceremony to the receding bathhouse.
Although we had a water heater and a separate shower room later, we made taking a bath, which was originally a group thing, into a personal thing. It evolved from a public space to a private space. This is the change of people's psychological space. Being more personal, private, and withdrawing from a public space means we have to face many unknowns alone. In the end, his brother Erming said goodbye to the bathhouse in his own way, which is also the way the director wanted to use. Erming was not smart but not stupid. He treated the bathhouse in the simplest way and bid farewell to the bathhouse.
Times are changing, but I also hope that some traces can be preserved to let the latecomers know that this thing once existed.
