The first thing to say is that it is difficult for domestic audiences who lack knowledge of Western religious traditions to understand the true meaning of Silent Hill. As an impressive game adaptation film, it is completely different from the intuitive series of Resident Evil. It needs you to experience it with your mind and heart, because the entire structure of Silent Hill is in the world of human consciousness.
That is to say, how do you view the relationship between matter and consciousness? Silent Hill’s answer is that consciousness precedes material existence. All darkness, mutations, and disasters occur in the consciousness world. The heroine and father walked into the consciousness world of the original girl named Alessa. In the movie, it is simply stated that Alessa has the power of the devil because of the mysterious religious sacrifice, and the part of humanity remaining outside of her pain becomes the heroine heather. This is why Alessa tells heather that we are Is one. As for Heather's simple victory over Alessa, this is the director deliberately strengthened the ability of Heather, to prove to the audience that human nature can overcome hatred, the handling is simple and loses a very strong religious apocalyptic atmosphere, so many audiences sneered at this.
Finally, the immobile giant demon in the hall is the evil god that the mysterious religion originally wanted to summon. However, Alessa was defeated by the heather. As the strongest representative of Alessa's dark consciousness, the triangular head protected the heather. Of course, these treatments are somewhat dramatic. As a commercial film, there must be some gimmicks, but there is no doubt that the darkness of Silent Hill has not passed. The existence of the triangular head proves that Alessa is still peeping at everything in the deepest darkness, so When heather left Silent Hill, the thick fog enveloped Silent Hill again.
The key to understanding Silent Hill is religious belief and the world of consciousness. In the world of Silent Hill, human beings live in a normal world. The dense fog is filled with a different world, filled with various monsters, and the more terrifying bloody mutation scene symbolizes the inside. The world is where the devil lives, and Alessa is there. Silent Hill is full of religious metaphors. There is a triangular pyramid in the disc in the movie. The triangle symbolizes reason, order and mysterious energy. Therefore, the triangular head is the most ferocious monster in Silent Hill, but it is still human consciousness. Formed. What is more intriguing is that there are also descriptions of abnormally thick fog in Chinese history, commonly known as Yin soldiers crossing the road. If ordinary people encounter Yin soldiers crossing the road, they will be taken to another world. If you live or die, you will not see the dead. The
last thing to say is silence. Ling's game is deeper and more connotative than the movie. As a horror theme, it is not as well-known as Resident Evil, but everyone who has played it will be impressed by it. The music atmosphere of the Silent Hill game is very deep, which has been used in the movie very well. If your heart is strong enough, interested friends, don't let it go to really experience the real Silent Hill in the game.
