(The following are all spoilers)
I saw that some netizens criticized the game's settings. In fact, I think the game design of this game is still good. It may be to reduce the blood level. This game is not as impressive as the previous ones. "Meat pain"-like visual impact, but all of this game is more in line with the old man's purpose. As far as I know, the biggest difference between the game set by the old man and Hoffman, Amanda and the others is that the old man did not set the game to torture people, but to let the people who participated in the game know their sins and redeem themselves. According to this purpose, that is to say, as long as the people participating in the game understand the concept of the game, they can clear the level at a lower cost. This game is basically like this, and the prompts given by the recording are also very obvious. The first level can be cleared as long as a little blood is shed, the second level can be cleared by injecting the antidote into the syringe marked with $3.53, and the third level can be cleared. Don't break the rules, the fat man's legs will be fine, (I don't know much about the motorcycle, so I won't mention it), the fourth level, the woman should not shoot, as long as she takes out the key, she and the fat man can live; in the end In the first level, the detective should not press the doctor's button first, and he will not die (of course, this level is designed by the doctor).
On the other hand, there are not many games that really implement the old man's principle. For example, the first Amanda game only gave Amanda a chance to choose, but did not give her that drug friend a chance to choose; the second game Digging out the key from the eyes is a choice, but it is really too cruel and too difficult; let alone the third game, the game designed by Amanda, no one can live; the fourth game can survive, But the price is high; the fifth group game is similar to the eighth, as long as you can interpret the rules of the game given by the old man and cooperate with each other, you can survive. Of course, at the beginning of the level, Hoffman is purely for revenge. The sixth part is the same as the fourth part, except for the last level where mother and son decide the life and death of Brother Shield, the rest of the levels are for Brother Shield to decide the life and death of others, and those who are decided have no chance to fight. I make a choice with my own life. The overall rhythm of the sixth game is very good, but the game settings are really confusing, and it can only stimulate the secretion of adrenaline; the seventh game is probably the same, but it is better than the sixth. Because Bobby played better, everyone survived.
So looking at a few games, you can basically see which games were designed by the old man himself, and which were designed by Amanda or Hoffman. Even if you can survive, you will have to lack arms and legs, or you will use the lives of innocent people as the so-called redemption price (I feel that some cruel games in the second game are also designed by Hoffman, because he is a big disciple); The old man designed it himself The game is mainly to make people feel regretful. The players who participate in the game interpret the rules with the mentality of repentance, and they can basically pass the level without too much pain, but it seems that the old man does not care what the apprentice does, but if he thinks they are going too far , they will be eliminated. Dr. Gordon, on the other hand, did not design the game alone, but only provided help and accepted the old man's order to solve the disciples who deviate from the rules of the chainsaw.
From this point of view, the game settings of the eighth part are more in line with the old man's purpose. However, I feel that the new disciple is still a Hoffman-style disciple. The police detective in the last level is indeed guilty and deserved, but he killed the police detective with personal hatred, and we can only expect his follow-up character development. .
Then there is the final reverse setting. Admittedly, when the reversal was revealed, I thought of Chainsaw 2, another use of time-telling tricks. But I don't think it is pure fried rice, because although there are two timelines, this one is more confusing than the second one in many details. In terms of narrative techniques and suspenseful settings, it tends to make people feel that the old man has been resurrected from the dead, just like Sherlock Holmes who jumped from the building in Sherlock 3, and then makes the audience speculate about the method most of the time. And in many places in the film, there are corpses that can correspond to another timeline, which makes the parallel processing of the two timelines more secretive, so when I saw the old man deity appeared in front of Fatty and Anna. , I screamed out, and kept thinking back to Chainsaw 3 and 4, whether there are any details that I missed, isn't the old man really dead at that time, but what happened to the anatomy at the beginning of the fourth part? But when it came to the final reversal, I finally realized that it was so. Some netizens said that the eighth doctor standing up is a tribute to the classic scene of the first old man getting up, but it is not the case. Personally, it feels more like the fourth scene of Hoffman standing up. In general, the reversal arrangement of the eighth part has a combination of some elements of the previous parts, but the combination is OK, so that most people can't guess the ending, which is also the characteristic of the Chainsaw series.
At the end of the eighth part, the doctor said "I speak for the dead", and I feel that this will replace "Game Over" as the ending of the new series, but I still prefer "Game Over". Ah, I really hope to see Uncle Huo and Dr. Gordon again in the next few movies.
