————On the theme of the film "Bath",
from slash-and-burn to iron plow and cattle farming, from spiritual support to material supremacy, in the walking and running along this road, in urbanization Today, when the construction process is accelerating and the commodity economy is increasingly prosperous, whether our minds are ignorant and dusty, and whether we have lost something. Today, with the rapid development of the national economy, we have to think about what the Chinese people in the new era have gained and what has been built in the construction of spiritual civilization. In the intersection and collision of modern urban civilization and modern courtyard civilization, the film "Bath" leads us along the direction of water, traces the deep power of pure civilization behind water, and realizes the release of the soul and the redemption of the soul , return to the original state of life.
Restore the simplicity of life and pursue the authenticity of life. The film "Bath" adopts a relatively stable narrative method, telling the stories of ordinary bathhouse men in the market. The film "Bath" does not use gorgeous editing, but uses a unique perspective, delicately depicts many details, and shows the purification effect of the pure civilization behind the bathhouse culture on human beings in subtleties.
There is no doubt that Daming, played by Mr. Pu Cunxin, is the recipient and infector of this pure civilization. At the beginning of the film, it focused on depicting the high-tech shower equipment in the modern city. Later, we were surprised to find that it has many similarities with the car wash facilities in the courtyard. Perhaps, we can say that this is a carefully designed accident? In the era of commodity economy, people looked at money, abandoned their reason, and indifferent to their emotions, so that they gradually evolved into a cold substance without thinking and temperature. Fortunately, he was given a chance to escape. Daming, who hurried home because he misunderstood his father's serious illness, in the few days he spent with his father, he understood the mutual reliance and mutual support between his father and his silly younger brother, and the tacit understanding between his father and his neighbors and his customers. And the friendship that does not need words has finally changed from the initial dismissive to the first-hand experience. On rainy nights, he climbed onto the roof to help his father repair the house. During this process, the two did not have any extra words, just a trace of eye contact that was not easy to detect. In the midst of this, we quietly see a slight change in Daming's emotional orientation. From a certain level, the sudden death of the old man played by Mr. Zhu Xu provides a good opportunity to focus on the transformation of Daming's emotional orientation and thinking. Daming gradually broke away from the shackles of the modern economy of doing big things and earning big money, and resolutely shouldered the task of running the bathhouse business and taking care of his mentally handicapped younger brother, and rediscovered the basic qualities of thinking, conscience and emotion.
In the bathhouse hangs a plaque with Zhuangzi's "Shang Shan Ruo Shui". Zhuangzi pursued a life without desires, desires, and restraints, and tried to achieve a free, relaxed and tranquil spiritual realm. I have to admit that because of his contentment and kindness, the silly younger brother Erming got real happiness and satisfaction in his heart, and gained a rich sense of fulfillment. It was under the stress-free life that he found the initial kinetic energy of life and truly achieved the original ecology of life.
The water in the film "Bath" is no longer just an image element, it has risen to a cultural orientation. "The water of the holy lake can not only wash the body, but also the soul..." The drought and little rainfall in northern Shaanxi have objectively promoted people's reverence for water. However, their devotion to bathing and cleansing, and their belief in cleansing the soul, give us reason to believe that water has condensed into a symbol in the bathhouse culture and evolved into a transmission path of oriental civilization.
In the face of this materialistic society, perhaps, we cannot be as lucky as Daming, and just meet a good opportunity to escape and rebirth. However, while being crowded by the market economy, don't forget to look around, slow down, stop, etc., the reason that was once abandoned by oneself, the emotion that was once forgotten by oneself, and so on was once abandoned by oneself soul. It does not deliberately depict the life trajectory of marginalized people, nor does it deliberately pursue unusual stories. Taking water as the medium and the bathhouse as the center of activity, "Bath" shows a brand-new cultural orientation from a unique perspective. At this moment, the film "Bath" is not only a narration of ordinary men in the bathhouse living in the market, but also a reflection on life and life, and an exploration of society and human nature.
China's economy is still booming, and the quality of its citizens should also keep pace with the times. Modern urban civilization and modern courtyard civilization are by no means opposites. On the road of interests, you might as well look back, slow down, stop, and wait for your soul. With the spiritual source that "Bath" leads us, we will pursue the trajectory of that bay, return, and the original ecology of life.
