Since it's about human nature, let's talk about human nature

There is no need to entangle the physical state. For example, the question of how such a big cube is placed, for example, the question of how those people are put in, for example, the question of the female student's extraordinary proficient in mathematics, the director can't explain it, the screenwriter can't explain it Can't explain it, and I can't explain it either.

Since we are talking about human nature, there must be an environment and a background, otherwise it will be neither targeted nor lethal. The background of the film is arranged in a cube. The director is very clever. The cramped feeling of space and the instinctive desire of human beings make the weakness of human nature exposed. Now I want to take a peek at the following characters.

Superintendent Quentin should It is the most pornographic and violent one in the film. At the beginning, I thought he would play the role of a savior and a leader to lead a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people to break through the siege, and he did play a role in stabilizing the heart of the army at the beginning. But unfortunately, with the rapid death of the prison expert and sensor expert Lennis, as the hope of returning to the natural world is getting slimmer, the first person to collapse is precisely this guy I had high hopes for. (I despise myself here by the way), I still supported him when he refused to bring Kazan, a neurologist, because Kazan is indeed a hindrance when he does not show his genius side, but in female doctor Holloway Under his insistence, he still took Kazan (the screenwriter left a suspense here, otherwise if there is no Kazan, it will not be possible to continue later), but there is a small episode here, when Kazan arrived safely Accidentally "ha", this "ha" obviously almost killed Quentin, Quentin is of course angry, but even so, I still want to express a little bit of anger at Holloway later. Small dissatisfaction, of course, it should not be beaten, it is too unmanly (maybe I stand talking without back pain, hehe), of course, from this moment on, I know that Quentin may have really collapsed, because He had just walked over from the god of death. The person who collapsed obviously had no normal thinking, or had lost even a trace of rationality. At this time, only the instinct to survive was left, and finally he put down the female doctor Holo Wei, he wanted to kill the architect Worth and the neurologist Kazan in order to reduce the drag. In the end, he did not want to be abandoned by the female college student Leven and the architect Worth, and ended up in a tragic end.

Doctor Holloway, this is actually a leftover girl, without a husband and no children, living alone and withdrawn, but she is a doctor. Isn't the duty of a doctor to help the dying and the disabled? So when she desperately protected Kazan, a neurologist, let us see the brilliance of humanity shining in this woman, everyone has the right to life, and life cannot be deprived at will.

Architect Worth, I even think this kid is a philosophy minor, numb, lost hope in life, lost hope in human beings, at the beginning, when everyone was thinking about how to get out and how to escape panic, this kid was there That thing had nothing to do with him hanging up high, and when he finally found the exit, this kid didn't have the excitement of others, but a kind of indifference and helplessness. He didn't even want to go back and stayed in that cage forever. .
...

finally summed up: the least skilled Superintendent Quentin (of course the female doctor Holloway has no special skills, but she protected the important person and ultimate survivor of the neurologist Kazan, that's all) In other words, she has infinite merit), irritability and roar, probably because of separation from his wife, it is not easy for a grown man to raise three children.
Li Wen, a female college student, has a strong professional knowledge of mathematics. Without her, this group of people would definitely die miserably with a broken shoe.
Prison expert and sensor expert Lennis, the thunder was loud and the rain was small, he said it well, and his pose was also high, but he died too fast, and I didn't remember it.
The architect, Worth, is quite a deep person. Philosophers may be like this. Maybe he is still very guilty.
Doctor Holloway, leftover female.
The neurologist Kazan, geniuses are usually patients, Bei Nan is quite right.


There are no good guys, no bad guys, no great superstars, no gunfights and "shootouts", no big productions, not a lot of people, no politics, no superstars (are there?), but it's actually really good to watch.
