      How much humanity do we have to trample before we get back a little bit of humanity

      When can we put aside our prejudice and look at a person, see an old man falling on the street and help us, talk about a pure relationship that is not influenced by status and money, and do not differentiate each other because of skin color, class, gender, etc...

      We are busy developing, getting...

      two and a half stars

      I have a strong feeling in the process of watching: the director must be the same person as the male protagonist, a sanctimonious hypocrite who is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality but is indifferent to others. He talks about understanding, respect and love, but he is actually...

      A/ There are quite a few paragraphs in Huacai, and some of them agree with "narcissism of cheap reflective ability". Too many issues are either just mentioned with jokes, or they are handled unevenly and deliberately. Therefore, more clues and richer levels have become a shortcoming. Only the night banquet scene is amazing enough. The precise control of the sound is an inheritance of advantages. / The concept of Rubik's Cube is really good, and the presentation of this concept image is restrained enough, plus points. /Change to five stars, it was underestimated before.

      Cleverly throws out the moral dilemma, and then presents the so-called indifference and absurdity under the director's wishful thinking. The biggest problem with the film is precisely that whether it is the embarrassment of walking along with the phone after seeing righteousness and bravery in the street, or a celebrity who chooses to be silent in order to protect himself when faced with a physical offense from the orcs at the cocktail party, they all appear distorted and unreliable in the separated time and space. A movie that offended the audience, yes, I was one of the offended audiences.

    The Square quotes

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

    • Christian: OK if I ditch Comic Sans? Find something less childish?

      Michael: I didn't pick it. It's a 90s all-time favourite

      Christian: Now it won't look like a kid's birthday party invitation. After all, it is a threat.
