Then, about the title. Let's compare it with ALIEN. You will see how similar SAW and ALIEN are.
The same amazing first. The closed environment, sudden unknowns, internal crises, even the aliens that burst out of the abdomen and the old man who got up from the pool of blood all belong to Nirvana in blood.
At the beginning of the second part, the number of crises has been enlarged, and the number of organs and the number of aliens have increased substantially.
The third part, according to "The 7 Deadly Sins", "Fighting Club" director David Fincher said, because it was a fledgling at the time, no one respected his opinion, the third part of "Alien" was finally cut into a weird movie. Coincidentally, SAW3 is also a weird movie. In the third part, the old man, the protagonist, died, and in the third part of the alien, the heroine also died.
The fourth part explores human nature and the new heir. Aliens have new aliens that overlap with humans. Uncle Huo, the old man's heir, also surfaced.
The above is pure nonsense. If the fifth part is taken out alone, it will still be good, but compared with the previous ones, although it is not disappointing, it is not surprising.
The regret of the fifth part is that, compared with the previous ones, it puts the cart before the horse in breaking through the level and loses the necessary explanation. Like in the third work, each level will have a story to describe why there is this organ, the intention of this organ, and the background explanation of the prisoner, so that the third part has enough plot tension. It's foggy, but the two people in the secret room have enough reasoning power to lead the audience to uncover the truth. But this time that part is missing. The audience can only think that the old man has a mental problem. Although we can say that the old man did not explain clearly when he handed it over to Uncle Huo. But just because the script makes sense, doesn't mean it's a good script.
The second regret is that there are too many flaws in the mechanism. In fact, it is very confusing in the second level, why no one is in the same hole. So in the last level with 5 people, the reversal effect that should appear is not so powerful.
I can't help but think of the magic show I've been watching these days - Da Mo Jing, what kind of magic is good magic? First, it must be reasonable, second, it must give the audience clues, and third, different performances must be connected in series.
But this time, the fifth part has a big flaw, which makes it not reasonable enough. Even if it is not a mortal situation, it should make some mortal situations. For example, the first level is designed so that only 4 keys can be moved. If someone takes the fourth key, the fifth key will be automatically destroyed. The second level can also be more subtle, and there is the final level. If, I mean, if there is a kind-hearted person inside who brings the bodies of those who died in front of them, will the third and final levels be automatically cracked? So I thought that the level design this time was a failure. Urine flow has been proven unreasonable, let's not talk about it, I wonder if anyone has thought of "menstrual" flow?
Then, not enough clues were given, or in other words, enough clues were given, but the explanation was not clear, which made the audience seem confused, and it was not until the end that they explained the reason why the five people were arrested, which made people a little bit confused. inexplicable.
Finally, the series connection is not enough. SAW has always been a multi-line movie, one I call the execution ground main line A, and the other is the execution ground main line B, but no matter which line, it used to be two mixed in At the same time, the amount of information contained in the film has greatly increased, and the interaction of the two clues AB has also increased the watchability of the film. Every time you look, you have the opportunity to discover new details and unravel new suspense. However, this time the film has a serious sense of split between the two lines, which makes the two lines of the film look like two films, and no longer intertwines with each other, making people want to carefully dismantle the suspense. The director failed in the narrative technique compared to the previous work. And think about the previous work, in addition to the main story, each one will have some small snack-like puzzles, but except for the pendulum giant axe at the beginning, SAW5 is really stingy compared to other series. And the pendulum giant axe was also made by Uncle Huo. This puzzle was solved not long after, which not only made people wonder what else SAW6 could do besides the mysterious box.
Finally, let's talk about the translation problem. On this issue, everyone has their own opinions. Is KUSO translation? It belongs to the category that I do not exclude or support. I have been in touch with Hokage, so I can still understand it, but those who have not been in touch with Hokage will probably know Chidori Raikie. A little confused. If the age group of the audience can be considered more in KUSO, then KUSO is relatively easier to accept.
To add, in fact, the KUSO translation somewhat dilutes the horror of the film.
