Technical analysis cube0, 1, 2

According to the production order of the film, cube1, 2, 0, but 0 is the prequel, so the order of the technical point of view is 0, 1, 2:

1. Door opening method: cube0 is an old-style machine, similar to the emergency door opening knob-type partition door on a bus; cube1 is a box-type sliding door that turns the handle with both hands to unscrew; cube2 (the highest technology) is a touch-type self-opening partition Panmen (Jerry who designed the door died in this film).

2. Monitoring method: cube0 is an old-fashioned machine and is manually monitored; cube1 does not say whether there is monitoring; cube2 (the highest technology) is completely unable to monitor, resulting in the construction of the organization must send a spy (Kate) in to achieve its goal.

3. Killing methods: cube0 is an old-style machine, with venom corroded meat, super virus rotten meat, fire, ultra-low temperature, wire rope cutting (this is the most comparable, because cube has been directly advanced to laser cutting); cube1 has sprayed faces ( Flying Condor), laser cutting...cube2 (the highest technology) hypercube model cuts people, time goes by at a high speed, starves to death or old dead...

4. Room label: cube0 is the abc letter to represent the number; cube1 is the number, but the prime factor must be calculated; cube2 (the highest technology) does not require a number code, and may not be able to mark the code, because it is a hypercube and many parallel spaces, changing and Can be merged (eventually collapsed into one).

5. Detainees: Cube0 is a lot of guinea pigs who agree to test the identity of criminals, except for the female lead and the male lead; cube1 was the first to be photographed, and it was a number of people with different identities with social metaphors. Only the architect designed the entire installation. The shell of Cube2; in the words of Mikes, the ones who were locked up in Cube2 are "Everyone who has something to do with this stuff throw it here." There are game designer Mikes, a female lawyer who is in a lawsuit, and a female genius hacker blind woman Sasha. , Mrs. Perry, the theoretical mathematician who knows the plan, Jerry who designed the touch door, the colonel of the Pentagon, etc.

=========================================

From a technical point of view, some thoughts:

1. The cube device was built by a large group (the clear information currently revealed is the large arms dealer Aisang Company appearing in cube2). It is gradually being designed, constructed, and improved. It can also be understood as having experienced one generation and two Generation... From a technical point of view, cube0 and 1 should belong to the first generation technology, and cube2 belongs to the second generation technology, and it is finally completed (the "second stage is over" mentioned by the black suit sir at the end of the cube2 movie).

2. Some people say that the shot of cube0 is too rough. In fact, this is the reason for it, because the cube was designed as a Rubik's cube structure at the beginning, but in the end the second generation realized a 4-dimensional space (which is not available in contemporary technology). Hypercube structure.

3. Cube0 finally designed the male protagonist to be the mentally retarded in cube1, which played a role in echoing before and after. But from a technical point of view, cube 0 and 1 are two distinct devices. The upgrade and construction of devices from 0 to 1 cannot be done in a short period of time. How long will the mental retardation be kept in the device? Eating and drinking Lhasa solved it like this (hehehe, thinking about it again)? In fact, since the film should echo this way, why not directly use the movie props of cube1 to shoot cube0? Just set it up as if the two stories happened in the same device.

4. In the cube0 film, the trapped person set a female protagonist who is an anti-government person. This is unreasonable. Maybe the film is to play a certain anti-government metaphor. But experiment is experiment! To exclude political dissidents is to exclude dissidents! There is no need to put the two things together. When a large super organization makes decisions, will it try to experiment with politicians in order to save money on guinea pigs? It's easier to make people disappear directly.

In short, the film is not bad, 1 and 2 I rated 4 stars, 0 is slightly worse but also give 4 stars.

Cube Zero quotes

  • Jax: Order number 793-bla-bla-bla-bla: Commence standard series of needle tests on Raine's group.

    [pauses and continues whispering]

    Jax: You do know what that means?

    Dodd: Yes, sir! Of course, sir. All in a days work, sir. Right away, sir.

    Jax: Do us a teensy favor and use mister Wynn's auxiliary monitor, we'll need the big guns here for our little mouse-hunt.

    Dodd: Of course, sir. Anything I can do to help, sir.

    Jax: That's the spirit, mister Modd. Way to keep the world safe for democracy...

  • Jax: [Dodd has swallowed a widget needed to power the cube] Cute. And rather cliche, in an endearing kind of way. Unfortunately, I do believe there is a penalty; a rather strict penalty for sabotaging state property.

    [blows dust from pen into Dodd's face and Dodd collapses]

    Jax: Ooh, instant paralysis, they weren't kidding, were they?

    [he bends down to cut Dodd open]

    Jax: However, not to worry, Mr. Dodd. You will still be able to feel.
