Bathing is a drama film produced by Xi'an Film Studio, directed by Zhang Yang, and starring Jiang Wu, Zhu Xu and Pu Cunxin, released in 1999. Set against the backdrop of an ordinary old bathhouse in Beijing, the film tells the touching story of beijing's neighborhoods at the end of the 20th century and the touching family love between fathers and sons and brothers.

Daming (Pu Cunxin) left home to work in Shenzhen for many years without returning, and one day suddenly received a postcard from his stupid brother Erming (Jiang Wu), thinking that Daming, whose father died of illness, quickly asked for leave to return to Beijing, but did not expect to trigger the next story.
After Daming returned home, he found that his father Lao Liu (Zhu Xu) was not ill, and only then did he realize that he understood the meaning of his brother wrongly, anyway, he went home, simply stayed at home for a few days, and it was also these few days that Daming saw the people's livelihood in the bathhouse.
This not-so-big bathhouse is full of old men who fight with clams, middle-aged neighbors with family conflicts, fat mounds who only dare to sing when they take a bath, and He Zheng, who is always an unprofessional friend, and this bathhouse is like a small society, in which all kinds of wonderful things happen.
In the days after Daming returned home, he saw his father mediating the middle-aged two sons who were unhappy because of a naked run to catch a thief, and also saw his father use his elderly body to protect his friend He Zheng, who was not doing his job, the big and small things in the bathhouse made Daming feel very warm, but bad things happened, after a heavy rain, his father Lao Liu became ill and left shortly after, and Daming took the initiative to take over the mess of the bathhouse after hesitation to take care of his younger brother Erming.
For this reason, he was abandoned by his wife in Shenzhen, but the enthusiastic help of the neighbors warmed his heart. However, as the demolition approached, his younger brother Erming could not accept that the bathhouse was also demolished after his father left, and even moved to block the demolition, but finally accepted all this under the guidance of Daming, after all, he still spent the rest of his life to protect his brother.

The main story of this movie is really good, whether it is the material, the characters or some details are remarkable, but the sharing fungus should focus on the various small stories that appear in the movie. The plot of persuading the middle-aged couple is the most successful, which can reflect the enthusiasm of the old man, and later the couple also wanted to help Daming take care of his brother, and his character was also good. And the old man to protect the friend He Zheng who is not doing the right thing is not bad, He Zheng dragged on for so long, or after the old man died to repair the neon lights of the bathhouse, it can be seen that he has a good change, and the end of the Erming sprayed with water spray that a little autistic little fat mound let him recall the feeling of singing in the bathhouse and sing his own Italian song "My Sun" in front of the public is also very warm and inspirational, which is the better part of the use of this film.
But there are two parts that make people confused, first of all, from the theme of the film and various small stories, we can see that the emotional content of this movie is more, it is not too much to call it a family film, but the other two stories interspersed in the film are a bit confusing.
One is what the old man said when he enlightened the husband who felt humiliated because his wife was naked to catch thieves, that the arid northwest could only take a bath when the eldest girl was married, and the water was very precious.
And the second story is that after the death of the old man, the voice-over tells the story of the Tibetan people's pursuit of the "holy lake" that washes the body and soul, if the above one can still be stained with a little social and emotional, the following one is too far away, after watching this film, the sharing fungus did not find any connection between this small story and the movie, and there is much criticism on the content of this section on Douban.
In fact, from the most innovative part of the film, that is, the part where Daming and Erming watch TV after the death of the old man, the nature program on the TV about the female dung beetle taking care of the child until death and the environment in which the rain gives new life to the offspring have laid the theme of the film, and at this time, what the northwest can not take a bath and Tibet pursues the "holy lake" has some feeling of looking messy.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" > conclusion:</h1>
The film depicts the family affection well, it is a warm film, the problem of poor picture quality is almost no other big groove, like friends can see, after all, this film has a high evaluation of 8.4 in Douban, as for the sharing of fungi mentioned above not very harmonious two small stories, perhaps you will get other experiences and feelings from the film.
