A good pot of "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup"

When I was a child, I heard Liu Baorui's "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup" joke, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang could not escape to a broken temple and fainted from hunger. The two beggars brought some sour tofu and rotten vegetable leaves to make soup for her, which saved his life. After Lao Zhu became emperor, he missed the "delicious" white jade soup, and specially found two beggars to cook it again. But that's not the case anymore.

When I watched Cube for the first time, its translation was called "Another Dimension Killing Array", and the style was really avant-garde. I didn't watch it for 5 minutes. Just watched it again yesterday. He is a very thoughtful screenwriter and director. The story is very simple, but the visual impact and philosophical meaning are very strong, which makes people memorable. Although I didn't know what the coordinates were, the bridge. But I knew it was a giant Rubik's cube.

Then I watched Cube2 and introduced the concept of four-dimensional space, which is a very unfamiliar scientific concept. In fact, when I watched Heroes and Lost, I didn't really understand the timeline. I always wondered if the Chinese people's science education is really bad, just like the Japanese's English level. In fact, as some people have said, Cube 2 is a good sci-fi film if it is split, but it is a pity that it uses the shell of the Rubik's Cube.

The Cube Zero that came out at the end was used to complete the whole story, and the commercial meaning was too heavy.

Looking at it later, isn't this a pot of "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup"? The two beggars were suddenly enlightened, and they poured out a pot of vegetarian soup. It happened that Lao Zhu was starving. In fact, what they sell is a creative, completely small cost and small production. Then, Cube 2 rescued the best ingredients, like a god of cooking, and tried to make another pot to please the emperor, but found that it was counterproductive. Helpless, the third part begins to introduce Lao Zhu's tragic same year, how the two beggars fell into trouble. In fact, we just want to eat a bowl of hot tofu soup on a cold and hungry winter night. No need to be so complicated~

    Completely lost the concise, pure, metaphysical feel of the first film and turned into a failed drama without a climax = =

    It doesn't seem as good as the first one... Crawling and crawling... The theory is the most annoying, because I can't understand it >.<
