- There’s a perpetual unease and oppression to Cube that meshes well with its pacing.
- One angle about Cube's story is that of how there are unwitting participants in systematic issues.
- The characters are all named in reference to prison, although not all the characters are named after prison's, as Kathryn learned down the grapevine.
- Melvin, "[Cube] at some point is a math movie."
- Melvin talks about his current fascination with numbers as a definitive thing a world of excessive subjectivities.
- Because the setting and scenario of the cube is so static, the film allows for complex, dynamic character interactions.
