This movie is the third movie after I watched "The Mist" and "Death Video 3" in a row, and I didn't deliberately look for movies related to religion, but it happened that all three dramas involved religion.
I haven't played the "Silent Hill" game myself, but the three words "Silent Hill" are very familiar to me. As early as when I was in school, I kept hearing about this game among some high-end groups who play games— - High-end groups refer to console players.
The whole movie lasts for more than 2 hours, but there is not any section in the process of watching the movie that you don't want to watch or skip. Only when you see the still gray-blue filter at the end will you feel a little tired.
The constantly switching filters in the film represent three different parallel worlds in the film's worldview:
The real world—that is, a world without monsters.
The world of tables—that is, the world of gray-blue filters.
The inner world—that is, the world that gets completely dark every once in a while.
Let’s talk about the advantages first. Before watching the movie, I didn’t check the production year of the show. I thought it was filmed in the past five years. When the heroine first entered the inner world and encountered a group of baby monsters, I was still disgusted. This special effect is a bit fake, Obviously special effects are not very good, why do you keep close-up of monsters?
After watching it, I realized that this movie was produced in 2006. At that time, this special effect should be the top of the top, especially the special effect of entering the inner world in the school toilet, and the whole room was gradually mottled and damaged. Today, it can be regarded as flawless.
The logic of the whole play is compact, because it is a game adaptation, as long as the world view of the original game is not disturbed, there will be no major problems. It is very clear, and the scale is in place, without making people feel very abrupt. I criticize "The Mist" by name here, and the handling of the villain's emotions is not gentle enough, which makes people feel tired.
Although I haven't played the game, I have seen the famous monsters in the game. The portrayal of these monsters in the movie is very good, and it makes people feel like they are not in a play. The most amazing thing is that the heroine handed over the picture of meeting a group of nurses and sisters. Xiang Yan also has a weird and terrifying picture, which is the most satisfying set of shots in the whole drama.
The happiest moment in the film is when the cult leader finally confronts Aresa crying, "Lord, please keep me pure for life", and then being torn apart by Aresa from her genitals, so ironic, wicked To be tortured in the worst possible way.
What dissatisfies me the most about the whole drama is the values that this drama exports, kindness and justice, etc., which represent good qualities in this world, and your kindness will only be used by others.
The heroine loves her stepdaughter deeply. Is this a virtue worthy of praise? But he was trapped in another world forever.
The policewomen are warm-hearted and upright. This is also a virtue worthy of praise, right? He was burned alive in another world.
The female nurse who is in charge of taking care of Aresa has never made any mistakes, but her eyes have been gouged out and she can only cry bitterly in this different world for the rest of her life.
Aresa's completely kind-hearted daughter was haunted by nightmares all day long, and she was not relieved in the end, and even merged with the completely dark Aresa.
What makes me uncomfortable about the film is that the scale of blood and pornography is a bit too large. This film does not need to deliberately show close-ups of the amputated limbs and stumps, and there is no need to show the scenes of people being torn apart, too. Explicit is too bloody, of course, this varies from person to person, and some people may find it irritating, but I don't think it is necessary. The large scale will only detract from the taste of the film. Telling a story well is much more interesting than playing with large-scale shots.
