So I read the details of 1 and 3 again, and sure enough, the mentally handicapped are not the same person.
1. Different names and appearances
Everyone in the cube has their own name on their clothes. The mentally handicapped person in the first episode is called Kazan, and Holloway called him by his name after seeing the name on the chest of his clothes. The one at the end of the third episode is Eric Wynn. Wynn's name can be clearly seen in the camera. The two mentally handicapped names look different.
2. The way of appearance is different
. Kazan's appearance in 1 is that the black policeman opened the door of the ceiling and fell from above. Wynn's appearance in mile 3 is found directly on the ground.
3. Regarding the same behavior and dialogue,
some people will say that the details of the two mentally handicapped hand movements and hitting the wall, and the fact that it is a green room after meeting the group of people, etc. are the same. My guess is that these people may have turned out to be observers who, like Eric Wynn, were chipped and made mentally retarded because they found something or didn't obey orders. Chips are programmed the same, so they may have similar behaviors and demands. Kazan mentioned the blue room in 1, which may be related to his experience or some memory, and Wynn just said to go back in 3, and did not mention the blue room. Two people say that it is a green room, the answer is very simple, because the two people are indeed in the green square, this is just a description of the objective environment.
4. The director won't be so stupid that he would rather be wrong than 1's original footage
If it is the same group of people, even if it is a problem for the actors to act again after many years, the director can also edit the relevant footage of 1. Otherwise, find people of the same skin color to put on makeup and then act again, there is absolutely no need to find a bunch of people Those who are not right play the roles of 1: At the end of 3, people who are mentally handicapped are found, including black fat women, blond short-haired women, and young white men. There are 3 people, completely different from 1. The audience can see it, the director is not stupid enough to not see it.
5. The origin of the mentally handicapped - they are all mice
3 In the end, Wynn talked to Jax, the one-eyed man in black. Jax said that Eric Wynn was guilty of anti-government and anti-God crimes. He signed an agreement a few years ago and volunteered to be a tester . In other words, although he works for the organization, he is also a guinea pig, including Owen, Dodd, Chickless, etc., all guinea pigs.
For the organization, whether it is in the cube, or what they call employees, it is the organization's experiment. It's just that some people are just brainwashed - for example, OWEN is not mentally handicapped, while some people like Kazan and Wynn are directly transformed into mentally handicapped. From this point of view, organizations may be treated differently depending on the nature and situation. Because the organization itself is conducting tests on human body, biology, chemistry, psychology, etc., for defectors, especially people with high IQ, the organization is very interested in transforming them into mentally handicapped people to test their survival rate and performance in CUBE . From the foreshadowing of 1 and 3, both of them are high IQ.
◆Guess about the mentally handicapped ending
The white light that Kazan can see from 3 to 1 is just an appearance. He still hasn't escaped the control of the organization. From Dodd's experience description, no one has chosen YES. Even if YES is chosen, waiting for the fate of the protagonist may be more tragic than death.
There is a detail in 3. Wynn swallowed a mouthful while eating (actually a pill), while Dodd was praying devoutly, and when Dodd recited something, Wynn did not follow along, but finally said Amen in a perfunctory manner. This shows that Wynn is not a person who believes in God. Even if he finally walked out, there was probably a death waiting for him. Although he really wanted to know what would happen if he answered YES, he probably wouldn't remember his curiosity after being brainwashed.
