Living this great maze, is there any way out?

so?

What is this maze?

It is the world in which we are living, like a brain, a maze, we are all in this huge maze, even the designer can't see the whole situation, we struggle and want to escape, but in the end we just return to the original place.

The nothingness from which we were born is the nothingness from which we die.

The setting of the characters is precisely the types of people we live in this world

Wren (Ryan) - a solo escapee, empiricist

"Don't think about anything but what's in front of you." Like all realists aren't they? So he was over soon.

Worth - (incarnation of the director's self-thought) - engineer, designer, nihilist, screw in a giant chain

Lewin - Simple, bright math schoolgirl, guilty of destroying the world since she was seven, a self-aware person

Quentin - Nazi, cop, pragmatic, macho, speaks with his fists, obeys the law of the jungle, like the caretaker of the world

Holloway Helen - doctor, skeptic, humanitarian, like a citizen of the world, caring, helping others

Kazan - mental retardation and genius

The first to die is the empiricist, who believes in himself so much, but life is not what experience can predict

The second to die was Holloway, who David said was "really like Helen," presumably referring to Helen Keller, author of "If You Give Me Three Days of Light"

So, what exactly is this box?

It's not that "1984" doesn't have any conspiracy, we just reap the consequences

This tube, in a sense, is our current situation as human beings.

Everyone is paying attention to themselves, no one is watching the big picture, human civilization has lost control

The law of the jungle does not apply

Blind humanitarianism won't help

Because of it we are not dealing with the product of an imaginary fantasy, but our reality

Why didn't Voss leave in the end?

Because in a world full of hypocrisy, stupidity and sin, it's not worth living.

Worth, worth, value, where is the value of people? Use each other? Is the identity of a person in society the value of making oneself useful? What is the meaning of human life? Outside the labyrinth, there is only a piece of white and black, and they have a common name - nothingness.

We escaped a maze, can we escape the next maze?

It's like when we go out after watching a movie, don't we enter the maze of life again?

Cube quotes

  • Quentin: Listen, we can't go climbing around in here.

    Holloway: Why not?

    Quentin: There's traps.

    Holloway: What do you mean traps?

    Quentin: Booby traps. I looked in the room down there, and something almost cut my head off.

  • Quentin: [talking to Holloway] You listen to me, woman. Every day I mop up after your bleeding heart. The only reason you even exist is because I keep you!. I know your type. No kids, no man to fuck you. So, you go around outraged, sticking your nose up other people's assholes. Sniffing their business.
