The following is the text:
The basic plot setting of the CUBE film is very simple: a group of people from different backgrounds is trying to Complete the room escape mission. Audiences who are familiar with this type of film know that in fact, there are only two suspense in this type of film: 1. What kind of people live to the end; 2. The people who died on the way died because of what.
The depth of CUBE is that it uses a simple story to explain a truth that everyone is reluctant to admit: human beings are stupid, and what is even more stupid is that human beings always think they are smart.
Well, now back to the movie story itself, this group is made up of 6 people, namely, a strong policeman, a kind doctor, a lovely math college girl, a world-weary engineer, a conceited prison escape expert, and a mentally ill patient.
The dilemma they face is: a closed space composed of many, many cubes, many of which have murder traps, and they will immediately ascend to heaven if they go the wrong way. They need to find an exit before they get exhausted.
A good doctor first. The doctor died in a wayfinding process. She didn't die in an accident, the police reached out to her at the last moment as she fell into the abyss. But because she had offended the police with words, the police let go of her hand, and she was "accidentally" like this. A policeman is a person who puts his personal interests above justice and justice. He wants face and revenge. In his eyes, other people's lives are inferior to personal gains and losses. That's why we say, don't offend the villain, that's the truth. Just being kind is useless.
Not to mention the conceited prison escape expert. He had successfully escaped from multiple prisons, but this time he was unsuccessful. The boots he used for pathfinding failed to trigger the trap, and half of his head was burned by the shot of acid. This is the end of being smart.
Not to mention female college students. She is the embodiment of wisdom, she discovered the meaning of the room code and found the way to escape, but she was killed by the police at the last moment of her escape. I really have nothing to say about such an ending setting. In fact, there is often such a thing in our life, that is, stupid brute force easily defeats rational wisdom. This society is not very smart, and we can only go with the flow.
Then there are the mentally ill. He was the only one who escaped, but until he showed what he was capable of, a lot of people thought he was a wreck that would only add to the trouble. This is our helplessness. It is easy for everyone to make subjective judgments about others. In fact, even idiots are better than us.
And then there's the cop, he's a total asshole. Neither intellect nor morality have merit. However, with his brute force and conceited character, he claimed to be the leader of this group. In fact, what he did was not to create opportunities for everyone, but to gain privileges for himself and a greater possibility of rebirth. Everyone is not convinced of him, but he is the most powerful, and whoever is not convinced will be beaten. A team faced with such an environment of life and death, actually such a person is the leader! What a stupid thing this is! But if you use your brain a little, you will know how common such things are in our real life... (refused to cross-province, not to talk about politics)
Finally, let's talk about this world-weary engineer, he He is an ordinary person, but he participated in the direct design of this killing space. He worked as a pathfinder and was beaten by the police, but at a critical moment, he rescued the female college student who was almost raped by the police, and took the opportunity to isolate the police, creating a short escape time for the remaining people. He didn't have much ambition, didn't feel like he could escape from the first minute, but returned to find him when the psychopath was left behind. Facing the final exit, he didn't even have the courage to return to this real human society. But he dragged the police and left the bastard in the dark forever. He knew he wasn't that smart, but he made the most outstanding contribution to the entire team.
Well, let's go back and look at the team of six, one escaped and five died. Among the five people who died, only one was killed by the environment, and the other four were killed because of cannibalism! This team is very complete, with great strength, high intelligence, kind heart, a genius (mentally ill), a wealth of experience, and a low-key and down-to-earth ordinary person who knows the whole space roughly. They're smart enough to escape this place, but that's how it ends in the end.
How stupid people are and how ignorant they are.
