怀旧是一种美好的情感,不论这个“旧”是必然要寿终正寝的或有可能死灰复燃并成燎原之势的,也不论前者或后者可能有着截然不同的审美判断。影片《洗澡》着意渲染的怀旧情绪,显然属于前者。一个经营多年的澡堂子即将被拆除了,澡堂子的主人和一拨在澡堂子里泡着生命也泡着乐趣的人们便都怅然若有所失。在变革的时代氛围里,他们的恋旧情结显得渺小而且驘弱,但创作者却从这渺小与驘弱中发现了博大与执著,发现了情感与情绪的潜在的巨大的驱动力。 Nostalgia is a wonderful emotion, no matter whether the “old” is bound to come to an end or is likely to resurface and start a prairie fire, regardless of whether the former or the latter may have completely different aesthetic judgments. The film “Bathing” deliberately rendering nostalgia, apparently belongs to the former. A bathhouse that has been operating for many years is going to be demolished. The owner of the bathhouse and a group of people who soak up their life in the bathhouse will feel lost. In a changing climate of times, their nostalgia complex appears to be small and weak, but the creator has uncovered broadness and dedication from this insignificance and weakness, discovering the potentially immense driving force of emotions and emotions.
