Pretentious: The Square's "Liberty Square"

This is the 70th Cannes Palme d'Or in 2017, whose real name is "Square".

Since it is a self-talk about reviewing the movie, you must be faithful to your own feelings. I really fell asleep watching it. But also persisted.

Falling asleep while watching a movie is definitely not a criterion for evaluating a movie.

But there must be another criterion for not falling asleep. Unfortunately, this standard is in their hands, not mine at all. So, don't try to understand the film from the synopsis or the so-called commentary. It is not a story, just like the title, he is an irregular matrix of European middle-class life, like the dozens of free-falling mounds stacked on the gorgeous floor tiles in the art exhibition in the film, which looks like shit from a distance.

If I wanted to sum up the experience accurately, I would think of Buñuel's 45th Oscar for the best foreign language film title, but I added one word - "The Discreet and Decaying Charm of the Bourgeoisie."

In the face of the museum character of this genre, I strongly maintain that there is no moral embarrassment or awakening here.

"Square" won the highest award of the global art institution and the high-level reputation of related art evaluations, just like a circular paradox: the art elite must have a noble self-deprecating spirit due to the superiority of knowledge (only self-deprecating is allowed) - mocking the art elite's pretense ——And then give this self-mockery an excellent artistic evaluation——then put on a hat that seems to be true of universal morality——sit in the gorgeous lobby and applaud the film’s sardonic smile gentlemanly——don’t forget to tease me at the end This kind of outsider who fell asleep watching the movie.

Like the elite in the movie punching the beast that jumped to the dinner table.

    Attempts to satirize topical social issues such as contemporary art, class differentiation, gender relations, viral marketing, freedom of speech, etc., but in a depressive environment that is extremely unfriendly to the audience, various face-lifting The thin characters flashed by like a clown jumping on the beam, making the film immersed in the self-righteous orgasmic sensuality unable to extricate oneself, as disgusting as the gorilla who was too deeply involved in the play at the banquet.

    2.5 The same idea as the above "Tourist", just grab a weak point and expand it infinitely without ignoring logic, the routine of ridiculing the hypocrisy of the middle class is too straightforward and there are too many jokes.

  • Christian: The Square is a sanctuary of trust and caring. Within it we all share equal rights and obligations.

  • Christian: If you place an object in a museum does that make this object a piece of art?
