I can't understand what the director is trying to convey. I feel that the hero's life has always revealed a kind of embarrassment and weirdness. Obviously, he is an elegant, powerful and rich person in social status, but in order to maintain his superficial elegance and so-called upbringing and performance, he is a coward most of the time. Secretaries, beggars, children, friends,,, in their contact, he was always led by the nose, and his real emotional demands were never satisfied. Within the square, we are not trusting and caring for each other, but the appearance of one side's compromise to maintain peace.

    Four and a half stars, this is a comedy belonging to intellectuals, intellectuals know better, and it is also about the embarrassment and self-deprecation of intellectuals. Embarrassment is also the main factor that constitutes the film’s laughter. It talks about the embarrassment of many intellectuals and decent people and the laughter they elicited. And in the last part, let this kind of playfulness continue from the embarrassment of the people in the film to the audience, and you will find that it is not only them who are being ridiculed. Although they will be a little angry, they are still powerful.

    I missed the Palme d'Or in Cannes. I didn't expect to encounter another translated name in Pingyao. Personally, I think it is better to translate it into "Frame". I like the ubiquitous and subtle embarrassment, irony and humor in the film. Like a work of modern art that imposes a concept, it tore the seemingly delicate and perfect hypocritical face of the middle class, expressing the relationship between ideal and reality. Puzzled. The banquet savages scene is great, the overhead shot has a beautiful installation, and even the children's acting skills are very good
