An old movie cafe with a statue of Chaplin

The unique western-style building in the old movie cafe is rare in Hongkou. If it is embellished with modern furnishings fashionable in the 1920s and 1930s, it may be even less. The whole cafe is mixed with western style, the gray brick walls are vaguely covered with vines, and the arched eaves are both majestic and full of foreign flavor. Among them, there are enchanted light shadows and leisurely flowing songs, as if the reappearance of the old vinyl film also conveys a moving story. Order a cup of delicious coffee, take a look at the star photos of old Shanghai hanging on the wall, and review the classic movies in the silent film era. Reflecting the black-and-white picture, while flipping through the old declaration by the window, while admiring Ruan Lingyu's superb acting skills. Or, sit in front of the "tiger window" in the foreign house, indulge in the feelings of missing, and give a casual hand and snuggle. Let the thoughts of those who love each other return to some unforgettable old time and space, and only then do they realize that "holding hands and growing old together" is the most beautiful and best.

The cafe has three floors, and the layout inside is the retro style of old Shanghai. there are old black-and-white movies shown by projectors on the first floor and the second floor. Here you can see many classic movies that you saw outside when you were a child. The light on the first floor is relatively dark, and the decoration in front of the door is quite eye-catching. Retro style, Chaplin statues, big trees, the sun shining through the shade falls on the bamboo rattan chairs under the trees, the amorous feelings of old Shanghai are all shown here. Naturally, there is no shortage of people who are interested. There is no shortage of foreigners patronizing the open space in front of the door. Wooden staircase, a large cupboard at the corner of the staircase on the second floor, contains many classic works. Go straight to the balcony on the second floor, which is indeed a good place to kill time. The brown cushion, the curtain drooping tassel, through the window, watching the crowd coming and going in the street, at this moment I am still. Very quiet, this feeling of superego. Gramophone, photos of old Shanghai stars, small frames on the wall collect a lot of Hollywood movie envelopes, "Titanic", "Forrest Gump" and so on. Now that we are here, of course, we can't avoid vulgarity, so I watched an old black-and-white movie here and felt the traces of the old Shanghai years.

Along the Red Shige path, past a silver-gray archway with the style of Shikumen in old Shanghai, the old Shanghai of the 1920s and 1930s seems to have quietly returned on an inadvertent afternoon. Exquisite Japanese-style three-story building, which is mixed with Western style, dark gray brick walls with traces of summer vines, Western-style balconies with exquisite cast iron railings, arched eaves, a cup of coffee, an old "declaration", an old-fashioned record player, a ramshackle fan, a few old calendar plates, cigarette shells with dim lights and many modern objects of the 1920s and 1930s There is no need for nostalgia, the leisurely revolving old music and floating espresso have already brought me into some old time and space.
