But the secret room of this film is different from the consciousness of people's mind set. According to Worth, one of the protagonists in the photo, the secret room was not deliberately designed, and no one was there to monitor their movements. Each of them is only responsible for a small part of this huge project, and everyone is doing it to enrich their own pockets, regardless of the significance of building this huge Rubik's Cube. Before you know it, the Rubik's Cube is built, and somehow these poor people get stuck in it, while they're having dinner or sleeping. So this film is a philosophical film to a certain extent, but it just borrows the metaphor of the film.
Character 1: The police. The man who does a respectable job with taxpayer money in the real world seems to play a savior at the beginning of the film. This is also in line with the image of the general police in people's minds. As the plot goes on, the nature of the police is gradually exposed: addicted to violence, lecherous, controlling, partisan and ruthless. The irony of the role is self-evident if the police are seen as a symbol of the modern state. The state's violent organs collect taxpayers' money, but abuse their power. When there are dissidents, they use violence, even killing people. For example, the murder of the doctor by the police. After the two had a fierce dispute, the doctor decided to take a risk to explore the way. When the Rubik's cube was shaking, the police tried to save the doctor in front of the rest of the people, but they murdered the doctor. , and then immediately announced to everyone his regret for the doctor's misfortune, and began to use violent means to coerce intellectuals who were beneficial to him to help him get out of the predicament. If you think about it carefully, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the real society. In the end, the doctor killed the intellectual, but he was also killed in a different place. It could be regarded as a silent resistance of the director.
Role two: intellectuals. Represented by girls majoring in mathematics. This is a very common type of people in society. They live a middle-class life, take classes, hang out with friends, fall in love, and quarrel with their parents... It should be said that it is a portrayal of most people in European and American society. They are the kind of people who have technology but cannot control the big picture and can only be used by those in power. They don't hate this society, but they can't return to this riddled real world in the end. The so-called mathematics, the so-called skills, in the end, is nothing but a void.
Character Three: The Cynic. Represented by architects. The architect built the outer shell of this Rubik's Cube just for a promotion and a raise. In the first half of the film he has been showing a rather negative attitude, (there seems to be a bug in the film, if this guy really stayed here for a few months, what the hell does he do for a living, I only watched it once to see if Excuse me for the exact place) but with the violence of the police, he resisted to a large extent and played a positive role. Although he has no hope for the dirty human society outside, he is still willing to help others get out of this Rubik's Cube. In the end, he still stayed in the Rubik's Cube, which could be regarded as an ideal home.
Character Four: Cynic. Represented by female doctors. Female doctor has no boyfriend, no family, tired of work, cynical. When she found herself locked in this big unknown cage for no reason, she angrily accused the government and the army of building this monster, and she must expose their conspiracy after she went out. Her deep conflicts and heated arguments with the police also hint at her cynic identity. She is a kind person with ambition and ambition, but she cannot feel happiness in modern society. I want to resist, but I can't find a way out, so I can only vent my anger in an extreme way. So in the end, she also played the role of a savior who came forward. Although she failed, she died well and won a little praise in the hearts of others.
Character Five: Idiot. It is often said that there is a fine line between genius and idiot. Einstein was an idiot in some ways. Conversely, does a fool also have a genius side? When the police once wanted to kill this useless bastard, the remaining three people came forward, no matter what their attitude towards him, but they have not yet wiped out the last humanity. The idiot's ingenious ability to calculate numbers helped them find an exit. Unfortunately, in the end, only this idiot who knew nothing about the rules of human society escaped. The reality is so ironic, what kind of predicament will he face after returning to human society? Perhaps the numbers in this big Rubik's cube are his best destination.
At the end of the film is a white light, like this unknown world, you think everything is bright in front of you, but you can't really see anything. Will it be the light of God that saves mankind?
