Cube, it has begun!

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2003)

First of all Cube is a movie for people who like a bit of thinking. Its open to your own personal interpretation.
I see the Cube as a symbol of what happens when people stop asking question. If humans just follow traditions and habits without seriously consider what the essential is for each individual we will see that we will build a world where we get caugt up in all sorts of norms that has nothing to do with the world that we would like to see.
The construction of the real Cube has already begun! If you dont believe me just take a look at your own life. We used to work in able to survive, now we have created a world where work is the meaning. It has become a norm that you have to work 5/6 days a week so that you can get all sorts of status symbols to impress your friends that do the same. Its a trap that we dont see but it is diverting us from what is essential in life. Love, compasion, time, mental development etc. We dont even have time to raise our own kids. We choose to pay money to institutions so they can raise our kids. Yeah, we have to remember that we do not have enough time to raise our own kids because we have to work. When our parents get old we also send them away as we havent got time for them aswell. Finally, when we ask ourselfes...what do I live for we see that we havent got any time to live. Its all work and recreation...no living. The Cube has begun! You are constructing it every day my friend. Its your life so remember to construct it so you will feel happy living in it.
