Silent Hill, everyone can be God, but not everyone can afford the devil.
As Rose said at the end of the movie, mother is god in the eyes of child. As for the devil, the whole movie is about the YY devil, but the cruel trace of the old man has never been seen.
This reminds me of Qian Zhongshu's description of the devil in "The Devil Visits Qian Zhongshu at Night". The devil said, "I have a peaceful temper, and the top team uses force. I believe that a treaty can solve everything. For example, Faust made a betrayal with me. The contract of the soul, how gentle the two sides are. The movie really kind of made Faust go to hell, but it's definitely not the devil.
Furthermore, if there is a real invasion of the devil, it should be reasonable. For example, in "The Exorcist", only those who have no faith are the objects of the devil's erosion. But in Silent Hill, there is no such thing as an argument for belief, so it is said that cults are not only evil, but also very humorous, witty, how ridiculous, as long as the so-called cult leader has evil intentions, he has to call Xieyi and find some fun for himself. Burn people etc.
As for the story from the beginning of the movie, the mother rose takes her daughter to visit her hometown again, hoping to cure her daughter's sleepwalking disease through divine methods. I originally thought that rose's daughter must be a key clue, but after rounds of no devils I didn't see the so-called horror scene of my daughter. I spent almost 40 minutes in such a terrifying way, and then I started to return to the clue of Rose's daughter, who should be the key character. It almost made me unbearable. Fortunately, the movie scenes and magic effects were handled well. It's not bad, so I'll take it as an eye-opener or something. Maybe I've already been immune to ordinary horror movies. Seriously, after the whole movie, I didn't feel scary, but I was stunned, because Silent Hill, that's all. A closed town, oh, closure is not the key point. It should be said that it is an American town. Why can there be so many strange-shaped monsters at one time, and it is not a journey to the west.
Coming back to the question of faith, I saw a lot of bean friends say that Silent Hill is blah blah blah blah blah lack of belief...
I don't think it's that serious, but it's the screenwriter's shortcomings, if you really want to When making a religious film, you have to focus heavily on faith. Like the screenwriters of Silent Hill, they scraped together, but they still didn’t put clues and characters on the issue of faith.
As for the issue of horror films, in fact, the most terrifying thing is not what you see visually, but the fierce battle of the dark side of the human heart, or films like "The Sixth Sense, The Exorcist", from ancient religious beliefs and modern psychology. Issues like split personality blend perfectly.
All Samsung gives are those disgusting shots with a little visual effect, although not very scary, but they are quite satisfactory.
