Rehabilitate CUBE2, an absolute classic

I haven't watched the first two episodes, but just pulled the timeline of the playback software, this film deeply attracted me.
The scene props are very simple. Some people say that low cost is not wrong. However, using special effects, scenes, disgusting, bloody shots to create fear can only satisfy the tastes of the audience in the last century. I like the concise style of CUBE2, just like appreciation The top-level design, no cumbersome, redundant decoration.
As some people say, the movie does not portray characters, not every movie character is the protagonist, and this is what I like about Cube2, abandoning the concept of a character becoming a protagonist, but Take an idea as the protagonist, and this idea is the core of fear, the chaos of time and space, the chaos of fantasy and reality or more.
It is not difficult to understand the chaos of the past, present, and future on the same time axis, because many science fiction films There were descriptions and worries about this in the 1980s, but imagine that each of our nightmares becomes a reality (I don't know if anyone dreams of seeing oneself or others die), imagine each of our curses All become possible (I don’t know if anyone hates someone with impulsive thoughts and wants to strangle someone or other), and assuming that these are real, but these things do not happen on the space-time coordinates where we are. And happening on a square trajectory in another time and space, then the scenes of the white boxes in CUBE2 are extremely abstracted our lives, and I feel that this movie is really a post-modern admirer at this point. And just like the movie. It is said that no matter how you want to escape, how to find an exit, your ending will eventually be death.
And what we see in the film consists of a square, and then the innumerable squares formed, I think it is describing our relationship with other time and space. And these space-time itself is a four-dimensional cube that is constantly moving like the universe, or a part of the universe to be discovered.
Thinking further, every murder of a geometric body in CUBE2 can be understood as a self-cleaning function, as It's the same as clearing viruses in our body. Once humans can freely shuttle through it, who can say that we are not the real virus of this system?

  • 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.
