Only children's world is in the square, they are brave, honest, candid, have real and direct emotions. Adulthood is just making up that "noble square" with lies, disguising itself and living in it with peace of mind.

At the end of the film, the curator's daughter performed a cheerleading group gymnastics dance on the square stage, and all the team members cooperated and trusted each other to complete the life-threatening difficult movements, which really confirmed the artist's declaration in the film: "The square is the A sanctuary of trust and care, within which we share rights and obligations." In the film, in the upper-class adult world of "contemporary art", they use capital to make up a holy exhibition, artists He proposed a holy moral declaration and fabricated a "square sanctuary" with lies, so he sat in it with peace of mind and wanted to have a high-end dinner. When the dinner party turned into a jungle and the ferocious performers turned the performance into a real cruel game, everyone's timidity was undoubtedly revealed. Fortunately, there was an octogenarian old man who still had a little courage and stopped this too real performance. .

The line "Paradox is Justice" is the real hit of the film. The biggest contradiction in the whole film is that the artist draws a square in the museum and declares that this place is love and trust. Yet all the hypocritical upper class poured into the square, scrambling to show distrust and indifference.

What is justice? To see the paradox between the sublime of self-declaration and the timidity of actual action is to gain a glimpse of justice. Otherwise, "justice" is nothing but a noble lie of moral obscenity fabricated by the vanity of the superior.
