Brief talk

At the beginning, as soon as "Ave Maria" by Chargounau and Yo-Yo Ma played, I knew that this film was not simple, and this song also appeared constantly when the plot turned.

Gradually laying out, unfolding many oppositions, classical and modern, disco and Bach's average law, upper middle and lower, weak and indifferent, all coexist in a very strange way and transform into each other.

Just like its symbol throughout the whole book - the square, this is a movie that pierces the very distorted square of people's hearts, and is a whole mockery of human nature.

Of course, the meaning of this movie is actually very rich, and the above is just a simple personal feeling. I like watching such movies late at night.

PS: It also reflects how the Nordic countries view the topics of equality, freedom and public space.

    "Put your bag in the exhibition hall, is it considered a work of art?" A lot of awkward and self-deprecating passages seem to say: the best way to show art is the absence of the artist. Artists will call out a concept to overcome prejudice, and it is not as fearful as entering the battlefield that artists at the intellectual level go to the bottom block. Pull the artist out to explain art and observe his behavior, then "art" can only be a piece of chicken feathers.

    When satirizing, it is also politically correct to only find the right object and be shrewd and ignore the level of satire at all, as everyone knows.

The Square quotes

  • Christian: The Square is a sanctuary of trust and caring. Within it we all share equal rights and obligations.

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