The simple summary is that a group of children from the celestial dynasty are full of expectations for the outside world and want to look over the wall. At this time, there are always some people who say to you: Don't do it, our country does not allow it! But curiosity still overcomes everything, but found that the outside world is not necessarily very exciting. I really know the truth in the last tears are left... The
following content spoiler: the
story is actually developed around the contradiction between rules and change, reformers and conservatives The struggle of faction. The establishment of rules originated from human fear, fear of death, fear of troubles, fear of the unknown, fear destroying habits and comfort. The reason why we have established rules, such as laws and ethics, is for a stable future, but who is the first person to establish rules? We never care, we only know to follow a track, and that’s right. But there are always some people who want to know why there are such rules more than living by the rules. So the male protagonist Thomas was born. He didn't know how he came, and he didn't know what he was going to do in the future. When he came into this world, Big Brother told him that he must abide by the rules while he lives. But the male protagonist is obviously a child with strong curiosity, and a child who is unfettered and longs for freedom. So he wants to break through the rules and explore the world outside the rules, but there are always people in the team who prefer ease. Gehry is a representative. He obeys the rules, he lives healthy, chats and laughs with friends, and molested new children, at least in him. Come on, there is nothing bad about this, this is all brought about by the complete rules. So when a man who broke the rules appeared, his life changed drastically. When the big brother was almost dead, he became even more angry. This is all the fault of breaking the rules! This is actually like in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the reformists believed that they should not be content with the status quo. You don't know when the danger will come. Conservatives believe that there is nothing wrong with the passage of hundreds of years.
The story also adds their own dangerous, unknown exits and monsters. The monster can be understood as the imperialism of the year, and the unknown exit is like the unclear way out of overthrowing the late Qing Dynasty. These are what the conservatives fear. The story is to explore the rules and changes in such a survival game. This is the center of the story. So the film promotes this as a dystopia.

The following is a personal interpretation of the point of view:
1 Why erase the memory?
The purpose of erasing memories is to restore a person's original mental state. If you knew the world from the beginning, do you still have the mood to explore? The experiment described in the story is a process of human development, so the memory must be erased.
2Why does the hero's memory recovery look the same as if he didn't?
Although the film is out, the male protagonist said that he is also one of the researchers, but the old woman at the end of the story shows that the male protagonist is still in the dark. All he knows is the tip of the iceberg, and he only knows that this is a survival. The game is an experiment, but for what, he only learned what the old woman said.
3 How did Gehry come out?
I feel that I have always known that the outside world is not exciting. He must know that the outside world is already on the street. Although the labyrinth is small, but at least alive in peace, so he should be a person who knows the secret to resist and break the rules like this.
4 The old woman is not dead?
Obviously this is a pit for the survivors and the experimenters, saying that this is caused by the fork virus. You are all selected children. There is nothing in every situation. You must complete the tasks assigned to you by the party and the state, and live up to the party. With the high hopes given by the country, I am also forced to help the old woman. This is for tomorrow to be better or something, so don't blame me for being so cruel to you. This is really a fart... The superstructure wants to change, explore humanity from experiments, be a bad person and want to be a good person.
5 I think this is the case. Because human beings are comfortable with the status quo and are unwilling to change, they gradually push the earth to the edge of collapse. A group of scientists decided to create a huge experimental space to develop these people's changing mentality, the mentality of breaking the rules, and survival skills. However, there has been no major change for the whole three years. The leader decided to send the final weapon hero to make a breakthrough, and further forced everyone to Liangshan to stimulate their potential. In the end, the boss was very satisfied and decided on the last plan. Will there be a sequel...

The Maze Runner quotes

  • Thomas: We found this. It was inside a Griever.

    Newt: These are the same letters we get in our supplies.

    Thomas: Yeah. Whoever put us here obviously made the Grievers. Now, this is the first real clue, the first anything, you've found in over three years. Right, Minho?

    Minho: Right.

    Thomas: Newt, we gotta go back out there. Who knows where this might lead us.

    Gally: You see what he is trying to do, right? First he breaks our rules and then he tries to convince us to abandon them totally. The rules are the only thing that have ever held us together. Why now are we questioning that? If Alby was here, you know he'd agree with me. This shank needs to be punished.

    Newt: You're right. Thomas broke the rules. One night in the Pit and no food.

    Gally: Oh, come on, Newt. One night in the Pit? You think that's gonna stop him from going into the maze?

    Newt: No. And we can't just have non-runners running into the maze whenever they feel like it, so let's just make this official.

    Newt: [to Thomas] Starting from tomorrow, you're a Runner.

    Gally: Wow.

    Frypan: Gally...

    Gally: Nah, Fry.

    Thomas: Thanks, Newt.

  • Chuck: You saw a Griever?

    Thomas: Yeah, I saw one.

    Minho: He didn't just see it. He killed it.
