What makes one person stop in awe while another turns away in disgust? Why can a single building, painting, or even a face spark completely opposite reactions — and why do those reactions shift across decades? In this exploration hosted live from Paris by Emmanuel, award-winning film director and lifelong lover of art, we’ll dive into the strange, brilliant, contradictory world of beauty. From the Eiffel Tower, once called an iron monstrosity, now a global icon, to artworks that moved from “ugly” to “masterpiece,” you’ll examine how taste evolves and what shapes our responses.

Together, we’ll look at surprising examples from architecture, visual art, and pop culture, asking whether our ideas of beauty are cultural, generational, gender-specific, or shaped by something even deeper. Who decides what counts as “good” art? Who sets the price that transforms a canvas into a fortune? And how much of what we call beauty is actually about power, context, status, or stories we’ve been taught? This discussion promises to be smart, cultured, and truly eye-opening. Let's discuss openly and intelligently and perhaps even rethink the idea of beauty itself.

为什么有的人看到某个画面会当场惊叹，另一部分人却会立马皱眉？为什么同一栋建筑、一幅画，甚至一张脸，会引发完全相反的评价——而且还会随着时间改变？在这场由 Emmanuel（来自巴黎、获奖电影导演，也是真心热爱艺术的人）主持的分享里，我们会一起进入美的那个奇怪、聪明、又充满矛盾的世界。从曾被骂成“铁怪物”的 Eiffel Tower，到那些从“丑”变成“杰作”的艺术品，你会看到品味是怎么变化的。

我们还会看一些来自建筑、视觉艺术、流行文化的例子，一起讨论美到底是文化影响、时代差异、性别认知造成的，还是更深层的东西？谁来决定什么算“好艺术”？是谁把一块画布的价格推成天价？而我们所谓的美，有多少其实是权力、语境、地位或是被灌输的叙事？这场讨论会很聪明、很有文化感，也真的会让你打开眼界。一起聊聊，也许我们会重新思考“美”这件事本身。
