Just finished watching the new movie SAW III. This is one of my all-time favorite horror films.
The new film was released in the United States on Halloween, and won the box office championship in the United States that week. Unfortunately, we will never be able to enjoy such a film in Chinese cinemas.

From the first part, the bloody and violent images, the ingeniously designed mechanisms, the discussion of the meaning of life and struggle throughout, and the eye-popping ending in the last 30 seconds have always been the hallmarks of this series. Now, we also see this writing element in this new work.

First of all, the level of blood and violence is much higher than that of the previous game. Aside from the more disgusting torture props and novel killing methods, the 12-minute craniotomy alone is enough to make most non-medical students and MM "daunted". It shows in detail how to use an electric drill to drill open the skull, and then use a small chainsaw to remove a piece of the skull to relieve the pressure on the head of an epilepsy patient. It feels good enough to be used as a model textbook.

However, I feel that since the last movie, blood type and violence have gradually replaced the clever plot arrangement and philosophical discussion and become the protagonist used by the director to attract the audience. Perhaps this is also the final consequence of the inevitable commercialization of HOLLYWOOD movies.

Finally, at the end of the film, we found that the director still brought us something new. If the previous two works have been discussing how much sacrifice a person can make in the face of death, then in the third episode, our great genius JIGSAW is trying to give another proof of this proposition from the opposite side .

If people did not understand the fear of death in the previous works, JIGSAW made them understand, then here, people do not understand the value of life, so the game continues. "I want to play a game." This is JIGSAW's answer to The lines that every VICTIM has to say, this is a cruel game, an intermediate test of human nature. But people are always ignorant, they lack the fear of death, and have to wait until death hangs high above their heads When they hold the sword of Democris, they can feel repentance and fear. In the face of life, they lack pity and blessing. Perhaps forgiveness is really a more difficult choice than physical torture, and hatred It can really cover up all reason and all the brilliance of humanity. The people in front did not cherish their own lives, but at least they succumbed to death and repented, and God gave them a chance to reform. The indifference of life has not changed because of this, so God gave them the final test: When the life of others is in your hands, what choice will you make? Cherish your own life and not really understand life The greatness of life is to cherish life itself, regardless of whether this life is your own, someone else's, or a person who is inherently sinful. When the great nature first created life, it declared that all life has it The reason for existence, and when a person gives up the love of life itself and just succumbs to the fear of death, he has already thrown himself into the arms of death.
Humble, this is the first thing I think of after reading it It's a word for , and it's a virtue that Christianity always advises people to have. I guess it's not about our servility to others, but about our face to the world, to the forces of nature that created us, to face The attitude we should have when we must obey the laws of nature. People can never become gods, no matter how great they are or how brilliant a civilization they can create, there are always rules that he cannot break through. And when one day, When we turn a blind eye to this kind of rule, we ourselves give up our right

to survive. In the end, no one can really finish the game, I wonder if JIGSAW will feel deeply sorry for this?

It is true that as a horror film, SAW has never been able to become mainstream and become a timeless classic like THE SHAWSHANEK'S REDEMPTION, and its gradual commercialization is also pushing the series to the end, but this does not prevent it from becoming a film. A horror film with a certain ideological connotation. When blood becomes the protagonist, it is quite

difficult to maintain a philosophical mind in it... From JIGSAW's old face and blurred eyes, You, what did you see?

Saw III quotes

  • Amanda: She doesn't deserve to go free!

  • Jigsaw: Don't you think it would be wise to engage me in conversation for your own sake? I asked you to tell me about your husband.

    Dr. Lynn Denlon: It's like we're strangers now.

    Jigsaw: And?

    Dr. Lynn Denlon: The last time I saw him we were so disconnected. But now I'd give anything in the world to see my husband.
