Totalitarian Politics and Human Nature

Originally, I was worried that blood was one of the themes of this movie (there was a bloody and disgusting way to die at the beginning), but then I slowly discovered the profound theme of this movie. Totalitarian politics and human nature.
The characteristics of totalitarian politics are shown by one of their chats and the "practice" of the police in the play, numbness, moral kidnapping, tyranny and so on.
"I'm tired of the boring and vulgar human nature outside." These words of the architect and the opposition between the police's behavior and the doctor's behavior reflect the complexity of human nature, and the more it is in this situation, the more human nature can be exposed.
May we all look and think outside the box and remain pure and kind.

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.
