End the Cube-"Cube Zero"

It's another closed cube opening, a bloody and terrifying way of killing people. The performance of the Cube prequel is not surprising. Since it is Cube Zero, then the controller of Cube should be brought in. The sentence "Do you believe in God?" brings pseudo-religious comfort to these people in confusion. As a prequel, Zero explained the origins of the rainman who eventually went out in Cube, and it also fits the military background in HyperCube. Unlike Cube and HyperCube, they chose two perspectives of the world, and in the end they did not unexpectedly make two perspectives. Become one. The plot is barely qualified, the screen inherits Cube's simple and cost-saving Cult style, and when decrypting the coordinates of the cube, it is obviously not innovative enough compared to 1 and 2.

In the plot, many places make me think of "Brazil" repeatedly, maybe just like Huxley, Zamiatin, and Orwell can not avoid the future of dystopia, so sad but full of irony In the future movies, people have to mention Terry Gilliam. Like the “ruler” actor, he fell in love at first sight. The “inferior” heroine did not hesitate to take her own life in order to save her, especially when the actor was caught near the end of the film and would be brainwashed. At that time, the tragic moment of "Brazil" always recurs in my mind. Of course, the higher one is "Brazil". When there is blood, it makes you feel nauseous, and when there is no blood, it makes you feel even more nauseous. The utopian future does not leave a little room for fantasy to dreamers, and only draws you close to the deepest darkness and sorrow with a smile. Far away, back in Cube Zero, Cube has become a tool used by the government and the military to execute people who oppose it. This has been hinted in HyperCube. The screenwriters and directors of the three movies are different, but they can be combined. , It's pretty good continuous.

The appearance of the earliest Cube was shocking. The 26X26 freely moving Rubik's Cube made me love numbers again. In addition to this idea, the first part was to use characters of different identities to embody humanity, although now it seems that the choices of these characters are already symbols. However, I am still moved by the collapse of human nature inside. The sentence "Big brother isn't watching you" can also tell the editor's feelings about the predicament caused by the development of technology. HyperCube no longer plays the concept school, and instead becomes the visual school. The Cube with the dimension of time can be said to be beautiful, but it also has the dilemma of time + space. Compared with the unclear purpose of 1, 2 is also added. The military behind the scenes. At Zero, the observer appeared. Although he knew from the first lesson he appeared that he would become the next experimenter, he actually dropped the label of Cube. I would like to look at this story from the perspective of "We" or "1984". it.

After the movie ended, I was still a little relieved, not as confused as after watching 1. Is it just because of this that the dust has settled? Is there no shadow in our real life? The rooms in this tall building with no blue sky are different from the claustrophobic Cube. No matter where we are, our lives are being consumed. No matter where we are, we have to face such a dilemma. Do you still believe in God? ? Do you still believe in God? What I am most dissatisfied with about Cube Zero is that I want it to tell me if I choose "yes", is it still another kind of destruction waiting for me?
