The sigh after reading it is how insignificant the struggle of individual human beings is in front of giants.

Referring to the theory of the first part, everyone is a little ant who has built a huge skyscraper, and the little ant can no longer control the management of the skyscraper. Just like writing a novel, before you write it out, you can still control the image of the character within the scope of your own manipulation. Once it is formed in the pen, the character will have its own unique soul and the audience's self-interpretation. The later is beyond the control of the author. This is the case with the heroine. She has been through all the thorns, what's the use, and in the end, she was shot and killed without even an explanation. At the beginning, I didn't know why she participated in this action. She has such a strong will to survive. In the end, everything was in vain, everyone had to die, and everyone died on the way to pursue life. It was really helpless.

The concept of this one is not the same as the first one, but each has its own characteristics. I don't know what to say, but it's very sad. Life is so powerless. In front of the giants, the individual is not worth mentioning. There is no way to escape a death. It is useful and it is dead. It's too sad.

I'm thinking, all the people trapped inside are related personnel of a certain giant. They work for the giant, fulfill the needs of becoming a giant, and then be eliminated by the giant. Is this also reincarnation? Everyone is not innocent, even if She is the heroine, and she is also a part of the giant. Born to be a giant, she died as a giant. It doesn't matter if there are so-called ignorant people who are innocent. Since she enjoys the benefits of the giant, it is naturally impossible to leave this place alive. Community of interests. To die from the "devil" cube created by oneself is not a self-inflicted consequence.

Sasha mentioned a word poetic justice before giving up hope. I specifically checked the meaning of the word, an outcome in which vice is punished and virtue rewarded usually in a manner peculiarly or ironically appropriate; an occasion when something bad happens to a person who seems to deserve it, usually because of bad things that person has done. In Chinese, it means that the crime deserves it. Yes, everyone in the cube may actually get what they deserve in the end. Every drop of sweat they sway for the giants finally acts on them. Isn't it ironic. The giant you made kills you, you are part of the giant, everyone is, numbly doing their duty, sending themselves to the gallows.

It's really frustrating, so hard work, get the shiny gallows, or their own.

The madness in the movie can't hide the emptiness in reality after all, everything should be like this, what is the end of human beings, what is the meaning of struggle, do you work harder to die, it has no value at all.

Just one question left for myself, I want to live better, but how, and where

  • Kate Filmore: Are you okay? Did you hit your head?

    Max Reisler: Yeah, I slipped. It's a wall - it wiggled.

  • Jerry Whitehall: I've been trying to get a handle on the configuration of these rooms. All I can say is...

    Simon Grady: They just don't make any sense.

    Jerry Whitehall: That's right - they sure don't.

    Max Reisler: It is as if the rooms are moving around very quickly.

    Jerry Whitehall: There's gotta be some kind of logic to it. You go in one direction and the room just loops back on itself.
