A Movie for Aspies? Oh! Yes!

Post Reply New Topic

There is a movie that is undoubtedly for aspies, and it is called:

THE CUBE ...

It also has two successors, which are also for aspies.

Now, I imagine many aspies used to love the Rubik's Cube game when they were younger. Many may still really enjoy it. Think of the Rubik's Cube and imagine you're inside of it. Imagine the edges of the cube's little blocks becoming doors, enclosing you in within some sort of intra-dimensional zone. Now imagine the complexity of the Rubik's Cube re-defined in the fourth dimension, such that you need to figure out a way to escape it.

Really! The Cube! It is a movie for aspies! My NT mother said it was okay. I enjoyed it.

Maybe this was the one movie that was specifically designed with aspie in mind?

I personally didn't like that movie all that much, although I watched it when I was a lot younger....maybe I should watch it again...

Any more information?

Made for Aspies? Are you sure? I saw the sequel (Cube 2: Hypercube) and it was the most confusing movie I've ever seen. It took me three or four viewings before much of it made sense, and I still have no clue where the ending came from... I'm willing to watch the original, though. You said it had two sequels. What is the third called?

I only saw the first movie, and have yet to see the sequels. There are, however, three movies in this current trilogy. They are as follows:

Cube
Cube 2: Hypercube
Cube Zero

Look, though ... We're aspies! Aspies are supposed to be intuitive and analytically- or synthetically-minded individuals. What is to be expected of us is to be able to understand things that perplex a large grouping of NTs. This particular movie was designed for the scientifically-gifted. Sure, scientifically-gifted people who aren't aspies will probably understand it, but aspies should too as well.

I'm sort of surprised that many aspies have signed on saying they are not intuitive enough to understand this movie. This movie is not about pure understanding, however. It's about a visual concept thrust into a world of freakish suspense. It's about something that the human mind is not supposed to understand conceptually, but hey ... just look at the details. That's all it takes.

The most confusing movie that I have ever seen was Lost Highway by David Lynch. To this day, I do not understand the concept of that movie, other than the meeting of three people on a lonely highway. It was a purely visual experience, though. It featured a lot of near-hypnotizing dreamlike states. It was a good movie, just because it was so hard to understand conceptually. It leaves you with the aura of "what just happened?" It leaves you travelling in a mental world unbeknownst to reality.

i thought jim carey's character in eternal sunshine seemed aspie-ish.

as for movies for aspies....i dunno...depends on what you're into. if you're heavily into music like i am, you'd probably love high fidelity(both the book and movie).

My favourite movie of all time was Momento....awesome movie! Very hard to follow and boring for most people, but I have watched it over and over again throughout my years. I recommend it for anyone who hasn't seen it here.
