Cube vs Matrix
Directors have been making movies about a higher power that is controlling people as far back as I have studied. This idea is the main point in both Cube and The Matrix. The directors of these movies use both theatrical ideas, and different film techniques to relay this concept. In Cube the director wants to show the government using of as mice in a maze, and in The Matrix the director tries to show how the government uses humans as pawns for their own gain. In the movie Cube, some one is putting people in a large cube with continuously moving rooms. The question is who is doing it, and why? Even the character worth, who help design part of this cube, does not know who or what built it. All of the characters put in this cube have a special ability that may help them escape their entrapment. There are many different thoughts by the characters on who might have built this thing such as aliens, the military, or the government. The one thing they can all agree on is that there is some sort of conspiracy going on. The director of the Cube used many different film techniques to show their sense of being controlled and their paranoia. Low camera angels were used to make the room look bigger than it was.
represent control in much different senses. In the Cube, In The Matrix the government or agents, do not seem to want to harm people that are part of there system. They only try to attack those who they see as a threat to their program. This viewpoint seems more accurate of the government, they are always out to protect themselves. The Matrix also has the main theme of people not being in control of their own controlling our lives. On the other hand, they both there is more the theme that the government will do what it the government is using humans as pawns for their own
