Paper refers to people who are interested and ambitious in social competition. According to traditional recognition, they can obtain the qualifications of the elite label/high income/great future. But it is only a qualification, a possibility of the quality of life, and it does not mean that it can cover all aspects of life. For example, if Kelvin, who has failed in this competition, can give up the competition and change his life, it may not be impossible to obtain the happiness and success that suits him. And the hero Hart who decided to participate in the paper competition, he has enough talent and enough hard work. If he has not worked hard as he did, don't learn the last scene of his origami airplane. He truly transformed from a rookie involved in the competition to a master of detachment. As the professor's daughter said, she has been accustomed to this kind of life since she was a child, so she knows how to detach herself from being dominated by paper. This is also the purpose of the movie. It is not to deny the sweat of geniuses, but to sublime the interpretation of sweat. Just as people create and utilize material conditions, they serve happiness. And a strong desire for materialism sometimes devours people's hearts. The same is true for smart brains, and so is paper.
