  1. Film Review: Cube (1997)@drax1232d

    (source: tmdb.org)

    If you want to start a successful franchise based on a genre film, it helps to have an original idea, but it is even better if the idea is simple. One such feat was achieved by Vincenzo Natali, Canadian film maker with his 1997 film Cube, which is now regarded one of the more original works of science fiction cinema of its time.

    Plot starts when the diverse group of people wakes up in what appears to be a prison. They have no idea where and how they got there, but it is also quite apparent that the prison is quite unusual – it doesn’t have any guards or windows. It is made out of cube-shaped rooms from where there are an exit, but like in labyrinth, they only lead to another rooms and, to make things worse, they also hide deadly booby traps. As hours pass the prisoners start to feel hunger, thirst and lack of oxygen, so they are forced to find some way to the outside world. It turns out that each of them possesses a skill that might prove very useful in current situation. As they travel to what might be an exit, they also realise that the biggest danger for them might not in traps, but their own characters and inability to avoid fighting between each other.

    Cube was directorial debut for Vincenzo Natali, until that time known mainly as the production designer for Johnny Mnemonic. Natali had extremely low budget at his disposal, but he had put it to a very good use, partly due to his experience as production designer, but mostly because he had simple and original idea, inspired by his own short film Elevated (although the script was reportedly inspired by “Five Characters in Search of Exit”, classic episode of The Twilight Zone and Sartre’s famous play No Exit). Natali has shot almost entire film in a single set, with a single room being redecorated to look differently. His script deliberately left questions protagonists and the audience ask unanswered and instead concentrated on the issues of survival. Protagonists are also faced with unbearable claustrophobia, paranoia and loss of any values that might have under normal circumstances. An interesting thing about Cube is that protagonists are forced to rely on brains instead of the brawn in order to survive and that their knowledge of mathematics plays important part in the plot.

    Natali, however, wasn’t that fortunate with casting. Number of characters is very small but that makes deficiencies in acting, mainly tendency to ham it up in inopportune moments, more visible. The only exception is the work of young Nicole De Boer, who plays role of mathematician Leaven. An actress strikes the perfect balance between displaying intelligence and vulnerability and it isn’t surprising that she would later have successful career, including the famous role of Ezri Dax in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Despite those flaws, Cube is very effective film which, despite less than impressive box office results, won rave reviews not only among critics of science fiction and horror genres, but also built a cult status. In 2001 a sequel under title Cube 2: Hypercube was released, followed by 2004 prequel Cube Zero. In 2021 an eponymous remake, directed by Yasuhiko Shimizu, was released in Japan.

    RATING: 7/10 (+++)

  2. (ENG/SPA) Principle of operation of the HyperCUBE@promete0sz1233d

    image.png

    HyperCUBE Structure, Source of Image edited with Paint

    Hello boys and girls biologically perfected by the technology of the Science Fiction community, in this post I will talk about a structure called HyperCUBE which is used in a movie of the same name where the striking thing about this element is that it is used as a fatal trap for those who fail to escape from this structure.

    In this post I will analyze the physical and mathematical characteristics that inspired the author to create this fictitious structure as shown in the movie HyperCUBE.

    The most attractive part of this structure in that film is its working principle which we will analyze in depth since not much or practically nothing is said during the film but from those small crumbs we will be able to infer relevant details and how this object is used for fatal traps inside the rooms which have to do with different physical elements such as gravity, time, dimensions, etc.

    Hola muchachones y muchachonas biológicamente perfeccionados por la tecnología de la comunidad de Science Fiction, en este post hablare de una estructura llamada HyperCUBE el cual es usado en una película del mismo nombre donde lo llamativo de este elemento es que se usa como trampa fatal para quienes no logran escapar de esta estructura.

    En este post me dedicare a analizar las características físicas y matemáticas en las que se inspira el autor para crear esta estructura ficticia tal y como se muestra en la película HyperCUBE.

    La parte mas atractiva de esta estructura en ese film es su principio de funcionamiento el cual analizaremos a fondo ya que no se dice mucho o prácticamente nada durante el film pero de esas pequeñas migajas lograremos inferir detalles relevantes y como se usa este objeto para trampas fatales dentro de las habitaciones los cuales tienen que ver con distintos elementos físicos como gravedad, tiempo, dimensiones etc.

    We know from the film that one of the characters named Sasha is a Hacker and there is no more data about her, despite this, with that information is enough for us as viewers we can infer that the author incorporates a Computer to generate the lethal attributes generated by the HyperCUBE.

    As you progress through the film, you see mathematical equations that Jerry talks about, this is fundamental since that computer must use a Mathematical Algorithm to make the structure work as we see it in the film.

    In order to understand how the HyperCUBE is applied in that movie, we must first understand the mathematical definition of this element. A line is a one dimensional element, a square is a two dimensional figure, a cube is a three dimensional object and a HyperCUBE or also called Tesseract, which would be its General Geometric name, is a four dimensional structure.

    The above is Basic since the concept is infinite, if you go to five dimensions, the resulting object is called PenteRacto, if it is six-dimensional HexeRacto and so on. The point is that as mathematicians say, paper holds everything and the above extends to infinite dimensions.

    Sabemos del film que uno de los personajes llamada Sasha es una Hacker y no hay mas datos de ella, a pesar de esto, con esa información es suficiente para nosotros como espectadores podamos inferir que el autor incorpora una Computadora para generar los atributos letales que genera el HyperCUBE.

    A medida que se avanza en el film, se ven ecuaciones matemáticas de las que habla Jerry, esto es fundamental ya que esa computadora debe usar un Algoritmo Matemático para hacer funcionar la estructura tal y como la vemos en la película.

    Para poder entender como el HyperCUBE es aplicado en esa película, debemos primero entender la definición matemática de este elemento. Una linea es un elemento en una dimensión, un cuadrado es una figura en dos dimensiones, un cubo es un objeto de tres dimensiones y un HyperCUBE o también llamado Teseracto que seria su nombre Geométrico General es una estructura en cuatro dimensiones.

    Lo anterior es Básico ya que el concepto es infinito, si se pasa a cinco dimensiones, el objeto resultante se llama PenteRacto, si es de seis dimensiones HexeRacto y así sucesivamente. El punto es que como dicen los matemáticos, el papel aguanta todo y lo anterior se extiende hasta infinitas dimensiones.

    Cube 2

    At this point is where Science Fiction begins because it is the execution of all the above mentioned applied to the physical realm which does not support everything like paper in the case of mathematicians when developing their equations on a sheet of paper. In our real world we can clearly understand three dimensions plus a fourth one which would be time and with this the author plays to shape his work, the HyperCUBE.

    One of the fatal traps is to accelerate time where two characters enter one of the rooms and age rapidly, we can assume that the computer applies the Mathematical Algorithm of time acceleration in that room.

    We notice that throughout the structure there are different versions of characters like Jerry who is killed many times by Simon. As there is time manipulation by the HyperCUBE, it is feasible the existence of different alternate timelines or realities for the characters.

    In one of the rooms occurs the manipulation of space which is closely related to the Tesseract because it manipulates three spatial variables which are the Length, Height and Depth, a special note is that in other films such as Avengers there is the Tesseract that manipulates space.

    There are more traps like alteration of gravity, illusions, mirror effects but these I consider are not a consequence of some mathematical algorithm associated with HyperCUBE, they are traps associated with physical phenomena YES but I consider that they are in the structure just to add them in the plot and make the film more attractive.

    Finally and a consequence of playing with this algorithm and apply it to the real world is that the human being, space and time would not support these alterations, with this theory I agree because paper holds everything but our laws and physical variables not necessarily, in the Film the HyperCUBE implodes and simply disappears with everything it contained inside, with this end I totally agree because our real world I think that would not support this type of changes and alterations in the variable of time and space.

    In my conclusions I see feasible implosion as in the film, I agree with the author in that idea, the CHaos is the result of playing with these physical variables.

    I dedicate each one of my posts and videos to my little dog called princess that we used to call her chiquito which is no longer with us but from heaven she will see that her existence was of great value and the most beautiful thing that will exist in my heart and in my soul.

    En este momento es donde empieza la Science Fiction porque es ejecutar todo lo anterior mencionado aplicado al ámbito Físico el cual no soporta todo como el papel en el caso de los matemáticos al desarrollar sus ecuaciones en una hoja. En nuestro mundo real podemos entender claramente tres dimensiones mas una cuarta que sería el tiempo y con esto juega el autor para darle forma a su obra, al HyperCUBE.

    Una de las trampas fatales es acelerar el tiempo donde dos personajes al entrar en una de las habitaciones envejecen rápidamente, podemos asumir que la computadora aplica el Algoritmo Matemático de aceleración del tiempo en esa habitación.

    Notamos que en toda la estructura hay distintas versiones de personajes como Jerry el cual es asesinado muchas veces por Simon. Al existir manipulación del tiempo por parte del HyperCUBE, es factible la existencia de distintas líneas temporales alternas o realidades para los personajes.

    En una de las habitaciones ocurre la manipulación del espacio que esta estrechamente relacionado con el Teseracto debido a que manipula tres variables espaciales que son el Largo, Alto y Profundidad, una nota especial es que en otros Films como Avengers existe el Teseracto que Manipula el espacio.

    Hay mas trampas como alteración de la gravedad, ilusiones, efectos espejo pero estas considero no son consecuencia de algún algoritmo matemático asociado al HyperCUBE, son trampas asociadas a fenómenos físicos SÍ pero considero que están en la estructura solo para agregarlas en la trama y hacer mas atractivo el film.

    Finalmente y una consecuencia de jugar con este algoritmo y aplicarlo al mundo real es que el ser humano, el espacio y el tiempo no soportarían estas alteraciones, con esta teoría estoy de acuerdo porque papel aguanta todo pero nuestras leyes y variables físicas no necesariamente, en el Film el HyperCUBE implosiona y simplemente desaparece con todo lo que contenía en su interior, con este final estoy totalmente de acuerdo porque nuestro mundo real pienso que no soportaría este tipo de cambios y alteraciones en las variable del tiempo y el espacio.

    En mis conclusiones veo factible implosione como en el film, estoy de acuerdo con el autor en esa idea, el CHaos es el resultado de jugar con estas variables físicas.

    Dedicados cada uno de mis posts y videos a mi perrita llamada princesa que le decíamos chiquito la cual ya no esta entre nosotros pero desde el cielo ella verá que su existencia fue de mucho valor y lo mas bonito que existirá en mi corazón y en mi alma.

  3. [Movie review] [Eng | Esp] Cube | A hellish labyrinth@jrjaime1255d
    Welcome dear internet travelers lovers of suspense and thank you very much for having made a temporary stop in my post, very rarely have I seen non-animated films of Japanese origin, to be honest I thought that this film was of Korean origin but hey, the heart of the matter is that the tape "Cube" belongs to one of my least favorite genres although one never knows if it can surprise. Without more to add, get ready to survive different traps that we are about to begin.
    Bienvenidos queridos viajeros del internet amantes del suspenso y muchas gracias por haber hecho una parada temporal en mi post, muy pocas veces he visto filmes no animados de origen japonés, para serles sincero pensaba que esta película era de origen coreano pero bueno, el meollo del asunto es que la cinta "Cube" pertenece a uno de mis géneros menos favorito aunque igual uno nunca sabe si pueda llegar a sorprender. Sin más que agregar prepárense para sobrevivir a diferentes trampas que estamos por comenzar.

    The soundtrack is regular, it fulfills its purpose of being a decent musical accompaniment for the different events that take place during the film, I would say that it turns out to be the expected pulling bad since that intrigue factor does not manage to generate it at any time.
    La banda sonora es regular, cumple su propósito de ser un acompañamiento musical decente para los diferentes acontecimientos que transcurren durante el filme, diría que resulta ser lo esperable tirando a malo puesto que ese factor intriga no lo consigue generar en ningún momento.

    The construction of the world is interesting at first since various elements of this serve as important pieces in the plot, however that is the only remarkable thing about the context because the rest is simply reduced to identical rooms without personality that most of the time do not contribute anything to the plot since it is to continue using the same element that was interesting at first.
    La construcción de mundo resulta interesante en un primer momento puesto que diversos elementos de esta fungen cómo piezas importantes en la trama, sin embargo eso es lo único destacable que hay del contexto debido a que el resto se reduce sencillamente a habitaciones idénticas sin personalidad que la mayor parte del tiempo no aportan nada a la trama puesto que es seguir usando el mismo elemento que fue interesante en un primer momento.


    plot.png

    Property by @Jrjaime


    With the plot happens exactly the same as in the previous point, it seems interesting but ends up going around in circles becoming repetitive, it is supposed to have interesting elements that advance the plot although these only end up becoming boring data that contribute very little; This applies to both suspense and murder scenes that honestly give more embarrassment than anything else. Another aspect that is a problem is the lack of details, the film has many repetitive moments that could easily have been used to explore other things, not so many as to kill the mystery it tries to create but enough to keep the viewer interested. Finally there are the twists that it uses that are simply regrettable, completely unexpected and without anticipation ending up as a last minute addition that does not work well.
    Con la trama pasa exactamente lo mismo que en el punto anterior, parece interesante pero termina dando vueltas en círculos tornándose repetitiva, se supone que debe de tener elementos interesantes que hagan avanzar la trama aunque estos solo terminan volviéndose datos aburridos que aportan muy poco; esto se aplica tanto para las escenas de suspenso como para las de asesinato que sinceramente dan más vergüenza que otra cosa. Otro aspecto que es un problema es la falta de detalles, el filme tiene muchos momentos repetitivos que fácilmente podrían haberse empleado para explorar otras cosas, no tantas como para matar el misterio que intenta crear pero si los suficientes para mantener interesado al espectador. Por último están los giros de tuerca que emplea que sencillamente son lamentables, completamente inesperados y sin anticipación terminando como un añadido de último minuto que no funciona bien.


    characters.png

    Property by @Jrjaime


    All the characters without exception feel like plot conveniences, they are puppets without personality which mostly do not show any type of emotion or the slightest characterization, they are complete strangers for whom you simply can not feel anything and their deaths are inconsequential and irrelevant; I could even say that one or the other feel like leftovers and that there would be no problem if they had not been. The biggest disappointment is the fact that the tremendous psychological factor provided by the situation is not taken advantage of, a character relives his past more than anything else (Past that never delves or is really relevant) there is a character who feels more plausible with the emotions he expresses but this is only used to give suspense and forced tension so it loses merit.
    Todos los personajes sin excepción se sienten como conveniencias argumentales, son monigotes sin personalidad los cuales en su mayoría no demuestran ningún tipo de emoción ni la más mínima caracterización, son completos desconocidos por los que sencillamente no puedes sentir nada y sus muertes resultan intrascendentes e irrelevantes; incluso podría decir que uno que otro se sienten como sobrantes y que no habría problema si estos no hubiesen estado. La mayor decepción es el hecho de que no se aproveche el tremendo factor psicológico que provee la situación, un personaje revive más su pasado que otra cosa (Pasado que nunca se ahonda ni resulta realmente relevante) existe un personaje que se siente más plausible con las emociones que expresa pero este solo es utilizado para dar suspenso y tensión forzada así que pierde merito.


    Cube sins of not complying with even the minimum things to be moderately interesting, repeats a formula that does not work since it only lengthens something that is already lacking that hook that makes it moderately captivating with forgettable characters and too many plot holes to take it seriously. That is why it deserves a rating of 1.5 stars out of 7, a rather big disappointment that is not worth even to see it for merely entertaining itself ignoring its shortcomings, supposedly the original Canadian version is better so you could see it in the future.
    Cube peca de no cumplir ni con las cosas mínimas para ser medianamente interesante, repite una fórmula que no funciona puesto que solo alarga algo que ya de por sí es carente de ese gancho que lo haga medianamente atrapante con personajes olvidables y demasiados agujeros argumentales como para tomársela en serio. Es por ello que merece una calificación de 1.5 estrellas de 7, una decepción bastante grande que no vale ni siquiera para verla por meramente entretenerse obviando sus carencias, supuestamente la versión canadiense original es mejor por lo que podría verla en un futuro.

    Locked in madness.

    D6808BB0-6B8B-4BF9-825D-487046780B75.jpeg

    Cube movie from Canada from 1997, but one of the first survival movies that had a full scheme, in later years a similar path will be followed by the Saw series or horror films with a thriller twist.

    725A4D95-7552-4E94-909E-AB0C59B2FB47.webp

    Cube is a low-budget phenomenon that draws you from the first minutes. Although the budget of this movie is small, watching it is not a feeling of perfection.

    99FC7D7E-D993-44B1-ACCB-55676B61EDAC.jpeg

    This is one of those movies that keep you in suspense from the very first minutes of the movie. The film tells about a group of people who wake up in a strange room, do not know how they got there and why there are four around them today and only one leads to the next room and three others are fancy traps.

    1B68FA47-7258-4366-A0A9-33EEA1342AED.jpeg

    The film is great at showing how people work in a group and how exhaustion can work and slowly turn into madness. Cube shows for the first time fancy traps and a group of people who have to work together to somehow get out of this cube.

    9D624521-12AB-4A24-9A16-B925A4BE2095.jpeg

    Each of the people has some skill, thanks to which they can move and at the same time discover the dark sides of their companions, which causes conflicts and the desire to murder.

    (Trailer)

    If you have seen a series of Saw films, this film, despite the fact that it is over 24 years old, is very good to watch, it does not get boring and an hour and a half screening almost absorbs the viewer.

    I rate the movie 8/10 because it's worth watching this fancy psychological thriller with a touch of SF

  6. Cube Movie Review - There Is No Way Out@reviewzzz2208d

    Why do not we go back to the old time to the last century and see the magnificence of cinematic works in that time. Despite the poor technical capabilities, the last century has brought us cinematic jewels that sit on the throne of cinema so far, and the biggest evidence is the living legend, Godfather, which still maintains the highest evaluation in the history of cinema. Our date today is with a very cool movie from the 1997 release. When you find yourself locked in a cube and you have 6 exits, you don't know where to go. When darkness prevails and despair prevails and you do not know where you came from or where you are going.

    image.png

    The story

    The movie begins with a skinny man who wakes up suddenly to find himself in a cube and has 6 exits in front of that cube. It is only natural that he finds himself lost and confused and decides to take one of these holes to find himself moving to another cube. It looks like we're in a closed circle that doesn't end from one cube to the next. With the transition, it encounters some people in a way who will influence the course of the film. A reckless person tries to open one of the rooms and move in quickly, but the room lights up in a different color and finds himself cut apart. And another person goes to a room to burn a toxic chemical gas. We remain very confused until a mathematics expert appears to discover that each room has certain numbers, and then they discover that the cubes are transmitted with a certain coordinate cycle. Here they know that they must move to the appropriate cube until they reach the last opening that leads to the exit. But it seems that treachery does not end, one of them tries to catch others and sacrifice one of the two girls with him, but he falls into the evil of his deeds.

    image.png

    An impression of the movie

    The story of the movie seems a bit familiar for the time being, but I think that at the time of the movie’s release, the movie was very mysterious. On the personal side, I love puzzle films that present a new idea that has not been released before. Like the movie The Platform, I really liked the truth due to the high performance, the new idea, and the meaning behind the movie. But this movie does not rise to be like a platform, but even I do not oppress the producers and the director about the weak capabilities, let me comment on points that have nothing to do with the capabilities. The film provided us with an outstanding design and very good for a movie released in the nineties. But what is wrong with the movie is the very poor performance of the actors. Some characters find it highly emotional, while others do not seem to be very affected by what is happening. Likewise, if we search between the characters, we will not find a major hero for the film. The movie is similar to Saw's films, which everyone finds themselves in a hole and everyone is trying to sacrifice the other.

    image.png

    Photography

    Cinematography was somewhat good for moving and moving the camera, and filming in these blocks is not easy. But what disturbed me personally was the color and lighting in the film, because it was very poor. Whenever I remembered the movie, it suggested to you that it was a movie that was filmed by lighting the candles. The quality of the cameras may have been poor at the time, but there was no objection to using additional lighting to improve the quality of the film.

    In the end

    The film introduces a new idea with a different concept, that survival requires thinking. And that the struggle for life may lead you to madness and make you destroy everyone in your path.

  7. Cube (Film): Review.@martinmcfly2684d

    Yesterday I saw Room, today I see Cube, two films that despite having very different stories and also being of different genres have something common, and that is dealing with confinement, being captured and locked up against our will, and be introduced into a space from which you have to escape. In a certain way human nature is inclined to freedom, and some films try to take advantage of that desire to create the propitious conditions for a story, here one of them, let's see.

    ---

    Year: 1997 Category: Science-Fiction, Horror. Director: Vincenzo Natali. Cast: Maurice Dean Wint, Nicole de Boer, David Hewlett, Andrew Miller, Nicky Guadagni, Wayne Robson, Julian Richings.


    Plot

    A group of people are locked in a mechanized cube that is divided into a large number of rooms in the form of cubes, most of them with deadly traps.


    Opinion

    The first thing we see in the film is how a person is in a cube-shaped room, which has 6 doors, one on each side, that allow him to access another apparently identical room but with a different color. However, some rooms have deadly traps almost impossible to evade, something we can witness when that person dies in a very gore way.

    Later we see how a group of people gather in a room, formed by Quentin McNeil, a highly aggressive policeman, Joan Leaven, an intelligent and young student, David Worth, a malcontent who claims to be an office worker, Dr Helen Holloway, a free clinic doctor, Rennes, who is an escape artist who has gotten out of seven prisons, and Kazan, an autistic.

    None of them knows how they got to that situation, while some think has been the government, another think they are part of the perverse game of some man with a lot of money, even go so far as to claim that nobody in particular has put them in that situation.

    So while the film progresses the spectator is a silent witness of how these different characters try to escape from the cube, before it kills them, or before they kill each other.

    The film is directed in an acceptable way, this is the first work I see of Vincenzo Natali, who does it well, but nothing special really. The script was in charge of André Bijelic, Graeme Manson and Vincenzo Natali, and like the direction work is acceptable, but not special. The performances are regular, there is no good performance in the film, but neither are bad, the film does not stand out for the technical quality but rather for the originality of the story to create that closed space full of traps and from which it seems impossible to leave.

    In short, it is a film that can be seen although I did not find anything special, maybe I missed something but I do not know.

    6/10

    Regular film, nothing special, but entertaining, some will enjoy this movie more than others, I feel that this time depends much more on the observer than on the work done by the technical team.

    This movie is a really cool idea. Basically a group of people are stuck in a Rubik’s cube structure with deadly traps and have to use their smarts to figure out the puzzle and escape. They use a mathematician and a genius in disguise as help. Someone goes homicidal. Very cool horror/scifi/mystery movie. Definitely a recommended watch.

    Եթե ​​ինձ խնդրեմ անվանել կատարյալ սարսափ ֆիլմ, ապա ես ոչինչ չեմ ասի: Մահացանների եւ մրցավազքի զոհերի համար, իհարկե, շատ հետաքրքիր է, եւ երբեմն նույնիսկ այսպիսի ֆիլմի շատ լավ օրինակները կան, բայց այս ամենը հետաքրքիր է առաջին երկու անգամ: Այնուհետեւ միայն անկեղծ զզվելի.

    Բայց եթե ես խնդրեմ իդեալական հոգեբանական թրիլլերի մասին սարսափի տարրով, ապա առանց վարանելու ես կպատասխանի, որ սա «խորանարդը».

    Ի վերջո, մարդու հոգին մի սարսափելի բան է: Նման բազմազան եւ երբեմն սարսափելի բան: Ահա, որտեղ տարբեր սարսափելի պատմությունների անսպառ տարածությունը: Քանի զուգորդումներ եւ լուծումներ կարելի է հորինել:

    «Կուբայում» հեղինակները փայլուն կերպով վերցրին այդ շատ համադրությունները, դարձնելով սենյակավանդակների միայն ֆոնին, որի վրա նրանք հայտնվում են: Դասական տիպերը դասականորեն փոխազդում են միմյանց հետ, որոնք անհայտ են: Ի վերջո, եթե կարծում եք, որ գրեթե երբեք չենք տեսնում տխրահռչակ խոշտանգումների պալատները: Միայն մի քանի անգամ նրանք կատարում են իրենց փառքով, մեր ուշադրությունը հրավիրելով: Եվ ապա միայն մաքուր հոգեբանություն:

    Մենք չենք տրված խորհուրդներ, բայց դրանք անհրաժեշտ չեն: Էությունը միայն մարդկանց մեջ է, հանելուկներ լուծել իրենց կարողությամբ, ոչ միայն մաթեմատիկական, այլեւ հոգեբանական: Եվ նրանք չեն սպանվել թթվային եւ կրակով, բայց իրենց կողմից: Եվ տեսնում եք, որ մարդու եւ մարդու միջեւ բախումը ավելի հետաքրքիր է, քան սովորական զոհը կացինը դանակը: Ի վերջո, ինչ են այս մոլագարները, որոնք ձեւավորված շարժառիթներով են (կամ առանց դրա), որոնք ծառայում են որպես միայն պիրսինգ կտրող գործիքի շարունակություն:

    Իրականում սարսափելի ֆիլմ է: Այն ամենը հյուսված է անորոշությունից, ամեն հինգ րոպեից դադարեցի, չկարողացա դիմակայել լարվածությանն ու անկանխատեսելիությանը: Իհարկե, ինչպես գրեթե ցանկացած այլ ֆիլմ, խորանարդը զուրկ չէ հեշտությամբ քայլերի, բայց դա չի զրկում նրան այդ զրկված է բազմաթիվ մարդկանց, շատ ավելի մսային սարսափը, որի հետ մեծ թվով անսպասելի սարսափելի պահերին .

    Շատ հաջող համադրություն սյուժեի, թեմաների եւ գործողությունների մասին: Թվում է, թե ֆանտաստիկ է, բայց շատ կարեւոր է: Անկասկած, ամեն ինչ չափազանցված է, իրավիճակը բխում է սահմանից եւ Աստված արգելում է ձեզ, եւ ես նման իրավիճակում եմ, որ քնած է: Բայց, այնուամենայնիվ, այդ գրեթե ծաղրանկարների տարբերել այն մարդկանց հետ, ում հետ մեզանից յուրաքանչյուրը հաղորդակցման ամեն օր. Դուք կասեք, բայց ես ամեն օր չեմ հանդիպում հոգու հետ: Բայց խնդիրը հերոսի հոգեկան հիվանդության մեջ չէ: Ոչ, կետն այն է, որ նա միակն էր, ով անձեռնմխելիություն ունեցավ Կուբայի դատավարություններին: Միակն է, որ այս մարդկային փոխհարաբերությունների մասին լռություն չի տալիս, որոնք այս գազային պալատի հիմնական խոշտանգում էին: Մեր աշխարհում գոյատեւումը առավել հաստված է: Բայց սա է կյանքը: Արդյոք ես պետք է արտաքին աշխարհի այն մեկին, ով չի ընկալում բուն էությունը այս աշխարհի մարդու փոխազդեցության.

    Մեծ ֆիլմ. Բարձր որակի ստուգում: Եվ ոչ մի հատուկ ազդեցություն եւ հեղինակավոր դերասաններ: Հատկանշական մթնոլորտ եւ սիրողականի ոճ: Պարզապես շատ տաղանդ: Պարզապես շատ իմաստ.
