Elitism? Politically correct? No, we need borders

Obviously, this is not a movie that analyzes mass culture. Western elites satirized themselves with the help of modern art, satirized the so-called political correctness, and satirized our fragmented culture.

The overall style of the film is gloomy and depressing. It seems that everyone in it is under great pressure. From the moment the male protagonist first appeared, he could feel that he was nervous and didn't trust anyone. But the irony is that the exhibition The Square he planned was to promote interpersonal trust, how could he do it?

But it is worth noting that when we satirize the hypocrisy and irresponsibility of white men together, does our behavior itself become a kind of political correctness?

    A precise and superb satirical text, the square is not only a psychological safety area for Western modern civilization to deceive itself, but also the moral dilemma of the white leftists. Seemingly introspective is escapism, and what appears to be honesty is a lack of trust, and the delicate area between the two boundaries, expressed in the name of art, becomes a kind of extremely rare humor. This is an excellent text that will inspire creators, and the Palme d'Or deserves its name.

    The various senses of powerlessness of modern intellectuals in society, although there are no refugees on the scene, they give the best metaphor for the refugee problem in Europe. Various dramas and abuses fly into the sky. How does civilization fight ignorance and violence? The cry for help out of nothing is like Haneke's hidden camera in hiding, and the answer to this question can only be hoped for in the next generation.
