It took me a while to figure this one out...

Rating: Null/10 (24 April 1999)

If you expect to be spoon fed an explanation of this movie, then you'll never see what I saw. Who's to say that I'm right, but I thought the CUBE and its prisoners were very synonymous with life in general. None of us really know who put us here, or why. Even though some may claim to know why, they probably only know a small piece of the overall puzzle. The only way we can get to our final goal, is to work together, using each person's special talents that they, themselves, probably don't even know the value of. Every one of us thinks we know exactly what we are, or are not capable of, but we will never really know until we are put into a situation that tests what we are made of. There will always be those who do all the work, and those who just coast along, letting everyone else do things for them. There are those who can't do for themselves, and those who take on the responsibility of taking care of them. There will always be leaders and followers. If you look closely at this movie, you will probably be able to find many parallels to every day life. To me, the most interesting thing was that the most simple and harmless person in the group was the one who effortlessly walked out of the CUBE and into the bright white light. I think there are many messages in this movie, and my wife and I enjoyed it very much. It took me a day or so, but I suddenly realized all of the above and made the connections. Of course, I could be totally wrong...
