like people don't take "the beast" seriously

Always wait until you pay the price before you wake up.

【Resonance Connection】

In my opinion, the soul of art is resonance, no matter whether the resonance obtained by each individual is consistent with the creator, as long as a certain response is obtained in a work, then it is art to you.


【Bias】

After the group of Asians left, the prejudge staff shook his head speechlessly. The theme of "prejudice" appears many times in the film, which is one, and Christian's prejudice against the little boy and the group around him.


【Hypocrite】

This paragraph is very interesting that not long after the previous prejudice against "Asian Americans do not see art exhibitions", some "art lovers" applauded and agreed with "the light of caring to be shown in the cube" when Christian was speaking, But after half a minute, he instantly forgot all basic etiquette and stuttered to leave the venue while the chef was speaking. The so-called "noble" aura that art brings to them cannot hide their inner arrogance and rudeness.


【Dreamer Dreamer】

The most noisy are the dreamers, the most passionate are the dreamers, and the most cowardly are the dreamers. We ourselves are often such dreamers.


【Fear】Fear

The fear of being discovered, the fear of being attacked by gangsters, the fear of being a public figure with a guilty conscience, the spiraling down stairs also reflected the process of his emotional changes, making him more and more hysterical the more paper he stuffed, the psychological defense line. are about to collapse.


【Misjudgement misjudgment】


【Greedy Greedy】

The lazy self-reliance she showed, and the sense of help she deserved, explained why she became the way she is now.


【Comprehensive Inclusion】

A woman explained earlier, "I'm sorry my husband has Tourette's disease." This woman should be a member of the art gallery, so she came to listen to the interview, but she couldn't leave her sick husband at home alone, so she only can attend together. The pathogenesis of Tourette's disease includes abnormal central neurotransmitter system/chromosomal abnormality/mental abnormality and other factors. As this gentleman said, it is an uncontrollable mental disease. He appeals to people to be tolerant, which also reflects the wide range of art. Inclusiveness can be called greatness.


【Right Power】

Things that are too easy to get through power are never cherished, are they?


【Do not trust Distrust】


【Justice】

The consequences of delivering this letter were something C and his subordinates never thought of, or it was a sign that they had nothing to do with them. The little boy tried every means to get an apology from C, but in the end all failed. Not only did he take it lightly because he was a child, but he also thought it was unreasonable entanglement. Little did he know that people who he thought "lived in that kind of building" actually had self-esteem.


【Marketing Marketing】

In the first discussion, I wanted to clarify the difference between "art and marketing", but it seems that what these two people have been doing is adding the concept of art to marketing, rather than starting from the art itself. On the day they broke 300,000, they did not care about the negative public opinion on the Internet, but thought they had completed a very successful marketing. Reminds me of Banksy destroying his own artworks at an auction some time ago. Once art is involved in business, it cannot be separated from the relationship. It is self-evident that the stark argument that it brings to "return art to purity" is self-evident.


【Cover up concealment】


【Peep Peeping】

People's attraction to gossip has never been resisted. This woman was originally sitting in the gravel exhibition area. From the beginning when she heard the quarrel, she came out to understand the situation, and then she took the stool out to take a look. Christian was embarrassed at first to admit that he really enjoyed using his power to get women to sleep with him, and then to Ann's unreasonable anger, Ann didn't care about this kind of private matter being talked about in public, because she didn't care about herself His feelings are not justified, but the arrogance of Christian's guilty conscience is clearly seen by prying eyes.


【Empathy empathy】

The empathy I am talking about here refers to the empathy of this homeless person. He seriously wanted to understand what C explained, and he nodded and waved his hands in agreement to let him find the child at ease. Judging from the fact that C was still carrying the large and small bags after finding the child, this homeless man did exactly what he explained. Although I don't know if C helped him later, I really saw his "square" for C in him.


【Transformation】

This scene is my favorite in the whole film, because you can see the change of people's attitude towards "The Beast" at different stages, the host has already said how to deal with the "Beast" at the beginning, but people just don't take it as a What's the matter, treat him as a clown, and treat this performance art as a joke with a curious heart. No one thought that Oleg was serious, and his madness, with his anger at people's laughter, successfully inspired people's fear, cowardice, and sense of justice in the most extreme way.

【The First Person】

【Crowd Effect Follow】

When an emergency occurs, there will always be the first person to stand up first, which will then trigger a mass effect.


【Scorn contempt】

There was a careless conceit to Ann, and to the little boy, from Christian.


【Disturb】

hallucinations, self-blame.

【Redemption】

【Verify】

With a glimmer of hope, in fact, I already knew the answer in my heart.


【Alert Alert】


【Unknown】

As with C, we have no way of knowing what happened to the little boy after he fell down the stairs and walked away on his bicycle, whether he returned home safely or had an accident. Not all are like this. Many things are different from your own pace. Opportunities are in front of you but ignored. When you come to your senses, you will miss out.

This film talks about a lot of things, which can be said to be a process of "awakening". Art comes from life, and some so-called artists today are as sane as C. In the name of helping the disadvantaged and promoting trust and concern, they are doing things that are contrary to their ideas. At the same time, it also reveals that for some "art lovers" Participate in these activities just to gild yourself.

Just like that square, we always turn a blind eye to the people inside, and everyone needs such a "beast" to redeem themselves.
