You have to die if you want to live

I have been well-known for "Saw Fright" (SAW) for a long time, knowing it is a classic, but seeing the bloody severed limbs on the poster, I have never dared to watch it. After reading it with the courage today, I found that it was not as scary as I thought, but there are many things that make people think.

Like many American thrillers, a perverted behind-the-scenes conspirator, thinking that he is saving humanity, arranges one after another ingenious layout, watching how helpless people make decisions in a difficult situation. The behind-the-scenes man in this film claims that the person who cherishes life learns to cherish it. I think it is probably because he himself does not have much time to cherish.

Those who are caught and forced to participate in this game must find a way to save themselves or complete a task within a certain period of time. If they win, they will leave, but if they lose, they will die. In this maddening situation, some people have won, but by killing their friends who are still alive, they find the key to their lives in their stomachs. Some people have lost. It’s not that they don’t work hard, they are just kind of urging. The tight hour hand ticking and the fear of death robbed calmness.

The most terrifying thing is not the sudden bad luck, but the process of knowing that bad luck is coming but unable to escape. Seeing oneself step by step towards the end and unable to find a way, this kind of fear makes people crazy. When people are most afraid, they can do everything. Just like the actor Lawrence in the film, so calm and composed, always thinking about the solution rationally. When I was worried that he would kill Adam who was locked in the same room to exchange his freedom, he did not, but let Adam cooperate with him. A play-although it was not successful. But in the end, the infinite panic about the family's situation made him lose his mind. He actually saw off his foot, which was completely beyond my expectation. His crazy movements, rushing blood and Adam's scream made me extremely unbearable and shocked. People are actually very weak, so don't beat him too much.

Many people who play this game die because they want to live, and this paradox is fascinating and fascinating. There are always ironies of this and that kind in life, such as the use of undemocratic force to protect democracy, and self-imprisonment in order to fight for freedom. Thinking of "The Life of David Gore" and using himself to be sentenced to death to oppose the death penalty, such paradoxes are sometimes thought-provoking.

The plot setting of this film is amazing. From the very beginning, I was guessing who was behind the scenes, Adam, the black sheriff, the young policeman... Except for Lawrence, it was definitely not. I guessed all the reasonable and unreasonable ones. In the end, What was discovered was the caretaker who was almost forgotten because of its unremarkable appearance. This perverted guy! His appearance makes people hate it! So when Adam suddenly jumped up and smashed his head with a slate, I couldn't help but applaud. The plasma covered with the slate makes people feel the pleasure of wanton, everything is well, and finally you can get out of the nightmare. However, the best one is always the screenwriter. He arranged an unexpected ending. It turns out that the caregiver is just a game player. He is risking his life to save his life, and he is also a victim! The commander behind the scenes is actually a "dead" who is always motionless. He listens to all the conversations in the room, concealing his breathing and pleasure, and even holding the game props in his own hands. Who can think of such a design?

The screenwriter is great, the director is great!

"SAW" is very reminiscent of "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Ambush on Eight Sides", telling people how weak human nature is at the cost of life. But in contrast, I think "SAW" is more than thrilling and lacks intentions. "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "Ambush on Eight Sides" all specifically address certain human weaknesses, or greed, jealousy, anger and other irrational desires, or they relax their vigilance because of their own strengths, arrogance and arrogance. , Thought-provoking. "SAW" only says that "people who don't know how to cherish life learn to cherish", but except for a female addict and a suicide, I have not seen how others do not cherish life. Adam's voyeur? Lawrence's derailment? What about the caregiver Zap? What is wrong with him? Where is Lawrence's family? Why are they frightened and threatened? However, the plot is exciting enough and it does not pursue such perfection.

The performance of the actors was also very admirable, and the anger, despair, and hysteria in the fear were manifested one by one.

Looking forward to the second part.

    He likes to observe the victim up close, and this ending is a direct score.

    Is this really a horror movie? I am embarrassed to watch it. The detective is so stupid that he feels cute. The doctor doesn't need a saw or a shirt to get a mobile phone for Mao? After the doctor's wife took the gun, she felled the bad guy with two shots of the pia pia? And this translated name, where is the chainsaw? Now, tease, me.
