In the 1990s, a new group of directors was born in the Chinese film industry. Among them, the director with the most life feelings and the most epic spirit of life was probably Zhang Yang, who made the movie "Bath" .
As an authentic Beijinger, he hides the soul of old Beijing under the lens of his movies, just like this 1999 movie "Bath" tells such an ordinary and philosophical story of old Beijing.
The whole film revolves around an old bathhouse in Beijing. The estrangement and contradiction between the two generations, the care and love, and the shortness of the parents are spread out. Warmth and joy coexist, laughter and tears flow together.
The so-called era does not mean that the faster you go, the better. Don't forget the most important things in life because you go too fast, such as family love, such as between neighbors, such as ideals, such as human taste.
The bathhouse run by Lao Liutou is a small world that gathers people, family, and neighbors. Here husbands and wives can reconcile, neighbors can reconcile, father and son, modern civilization and traditional civilization can reconcile more. .
The most rare thing in the movie is to make that kind of parental shortness interesting. The old man and Er Ming will race at the intersection of their way home. Whoever gets to check in the big green tree in front of the house first will also fight against whoever can hold their breath for a long time in the bathroom.
In this bathhouse, some people read newspapers and study for success; some sang loudly, the higher the water head, the louder they sang;
In addition to the parents' shortcoming, the film also involves real issues such as the demolition of the old city. There are two details at the end of the movie that are particularly moving. One is that the plumber, He Zheng, came to repair the neon in front of the bathroom after knowing that the bathhouse was going to be demolished;
The other is the day when the bathroom was about to move, Erming rushed into the bathroom alone, facing the empty bathroom and sang, "I love your dad!"
When the old city is demolished, the behavior and habits of the older generation will change, and it is estimated that gathering places like bathhouses will be replaced by new places, but no matter what, if people who love each other can depend on each other, it will be a wonderful thing.
