After seeing the final demolition, I suddenly understood why there are fewer and fewer good movies. It's not necessarily that there are fewer filmmakers who are attentive, but the environment has changed, and there are not so many new things to shoot.
The great development of the motherland brought about by the reform and opening up, and life is changing with each passing day. Many things are interesting and short-lived, and they are worth recording. Some things are eliminated in the rapid development and need to be recorded. Watching the film, I also saw someone complaining that there is no such bathhouse at all, which is not in line with the actual situation. It can be seen that if there is no work to record this industry, no one will know the existence of this model decades later.
The biggest tear in the film is that He Bing helps the bathroom to light up the neon lights, saying that it is a wish of the old man to be fulfilled. But the old man couldn't see it. Sometimes, what is more sad than losing the people around you is that some things have not had time to be done, some words have not had time to be spoken, and there will be no chance.
And when the old man died and the bathhouse was empty, the feeling of loneliness, and the feeling of nostalgia for the past that can only be relied on memory in the future, an unspeakable sense of loss.
Bathhouse culture is a small microcosm of traditional Chinese culture, a small corner of interpersonal society helping each other and bickering with each other. The performance of a group of veteran actors is really wonderful, and it is really a playful fight between a group of neighbors who have known each other for decades. In comparison, Pu Cunxin's performance is much weaker.
But the fool played by Jiang Wu is so wonderful! Silly and not angry, living almost the same life every day is still full of sunshine, not only need to sigh, this fool is too cute!
Mr. Zhu Xu complained to Daming anxiously and refrainingly on the night Erming was lost. It was just right. He was the one who had worked hard to raise a stupid son for decades and insisted on this love all the time. A father should reflect.
Too many details make people find the shadow in their own life. The bathhouse is just a background. In fact, the family affection between Chinese people and the affection between neighbors are common.
The regret of the whole film is that two clips of lack of water in the west and admiration for water are inserted, which are very abrupt and unnecessary to exist, but weaken the theme of the film.
