Cube (1997) - Opening Scene

[@brandonluck159]

Everything, the sound design, the masterful camera work, the effects, the acting... it’s all perfect in this opening so much is told without a word being said

I guess some people just fall apart when they get lost.

This scene teaches you so much about life and gives a very valuable lesson: Never step into unknown cubes.

[@blissfulinsomniac5711]

Best opening scene ever. Love this movie. Dialogue needed work, as did the acting, but overall, very creative. I also loved how the ending totally went anti-Hollywood, killing off the new couple, and allowing the mentally disabled man to go through the exit.

[@Memotek82]

[@sealdogderp26]

@@CamMackay96 well yeah its an introduction to how the cube works and there are thousand of rooms finding him would be near impossible also the relevance was that due to his early death it means the group lost one of their roles so they had a disadvantage that could have saved them by the end

[@ThunderDragonRandy]

@Disseminate4 - Ooh, nice! I have to check that out and Half Dead that @Omnibune mentioned. I'm also creating a project that will feature a Cube-like maze with death traps as I was thinking no one has done that (but I'll still do it to acknowledge the existence of this film that hasn't seen it).

[@NinjaSox7]

That would actually be really cool

[@addytrance1]

I went to see this movie in its movie premiere, it was amazing. It's a work of art. The human being in all its splendor, the good and the bad that is part of it, the cruelty, selfishness, pathologies, even the most good person falls into madness, the human being is convinced. Rousseau argues that people are kind by nature, I would add bad too. The most helpless for which anyone gives a dollar, is the most rational and the one who has the least desire to live, helps the desire of another person, so at the end of the film sums it all up when the girl tells him " why you don't want to go out there.. "and he answers "outside is just the expect of the human being". Magnificent movie!

[@gradeahonky]

This movie had a big impact on me when I first saw it, but rewatching this scene reminded me that I also had nightmares about it. Cubes leading to more cubes…

3:28 The way the letters in the title of the movie appear slowly, piece by piece is just like the opening credits to the movie Alien (1979).

[@desilusor]

One of the few films that actually made me cry. It's perfect and very underrated by common viewers. [SPOILER] The fact that the autistic boy is the only one who saves himself from this "cube", implies a lot as to what the writer was trying to say. There's a lot of existential stuff going on in the script, even the characters are called after real life prisons. It's all around a Kafkan nightmare. Check out the director's work, he has some interesting stuff, and it would seem to me that every film was heavily influenced by existential philosophy (Nothing made in 2003, and Cypher in 2002).

and to say that to save oneself it was enough to wait and understand that the cube in which one woke up was the same one in which one exited in a cyclical way, they were the perimeter cubes from which everyone entered but from which one could also exit and which sooner or later would have been the liberation, it was a way to save himself for the one who couldn't have told how the facts had actually happened,... it seems like a coincidence, so the mystery of the cube would have remained veiled
