The world view of "Chain Saw"
YO, when it comes to thriller horror films, or thriller mystery films, everyone's mind must not escape a popular series of IP! Moreover, how could there be less familiar laughter and a slightly low and hoarse voice at this time. That’s right, ladies and folks, today’s series is the most popular in the genre of film history thriller suspense. The IP has the longest life force, mainly because Lionsgate is unwilling to let go. It is the "Chain Saw Horror" series!
Chainsaw Horror, also called "Imperial Saw" or "Dread Chamber". The English title is simply SAW, and the literal translation is saw! This series revolves around a serial murderer named John Kramer.
John Kramer also has an alias in the series that even Hannibal hears of the series, called Jigsaw Killer, the puzzle killer! Among them, Jigsaw means jigsaw puzzle. If you split the word separately, Jig means dance, roll hook, jitter up and down or back and forth, and saw means saw for movie titles.
So over time, the name Jigsaw has become the Chinese name recognized by most people, which is more powerful than the puzzle killer, and more related to saw. The origin of the Chinese title of "Chain Saw" may be because the first part has electric shocks and saws, which is quite scary. The unspoken rule of "four-character title will be fire", so there is "Chain Saw Cry".
So how did this John Kramer become a terrifying serial killer? John Kramer was a very successful civil engineer at the beginning, engaged in real estate development, and also a designer of dolls and toys, but he is not good at socializing and has no friends.
The expertise of the civil engineer also made him play a big role after becoming a serial killer. The ingenious setting of the mechanism and the perfect combination of the crusade against the soul and body. At a certain lonely moment in his previous life, John met a woman named Jill. After that, the two fell in love and got married, and they had a wonderful time together.
Later, John supported Jill’s idea. Jill founded a rehabilitation clinic similar to a drug rehabilitation center. The motto of this clinic is "Treasure Your Life". This sentence has also become the strongest survival hint and irony in the series. In this way, the lives and careers of the two people have a very good future in the eyes of everyone. What surprised them more is that Jill is pregnant. John can be said to be overjoyed when he is old, and give his wife Jill the best care and care. .
But the good times didn't last long. One day, the pregnant Jill was robbed by the drug addict at his own clinic, but he was accidentally pressed against the abdomen by the door pushed by the man, leading to a miscarriage of the fetus. This was a fatal blow for John. John has been with Jill's bed since then. At this time, although he was sad, he was not yet a complete killer to judge his life and death.
Later, John got severe depression and withdrew from the drug rehabilitation center founded by Jill. As a result, the relationship between the husband and wife began to deteriorate, and quarrels became commonplace. In the end, the two failed to get out of the shadow of losing their children. People's divorce.
After that, John's body began to show serious discomfort. He went to the hospital for another checkup before being diagnosed. It turned out that he was suffering from colon cancer and frontal lobe tumor. Confusion, which made his cancer worsen and delayed the best time for treatment.
Although it was a serious doctor-patient problem, John still took care of his body first. He started active treatment and successfully became a candidate for an experimental gene therapy treatment. John wanted to give it a try, so he asked himself to insure. The umbrella insurance company of China wants to let the insurance company pay for the treatment. The insurance company used John’s age and recovery probability for various reasons to reject the cost of John’s application for experimental therapy.
This completely made John desperate, and he also began to lose expectations for humanity and life. He originally wanted to commit suicide to end his life, but in the end an unexpected car accident broke John's suicide plan. At this time, John finally turned black. He believed that the car accident was the will of God. He was the Qiu Senwan who wanted to punish and torture humanity. He wanted to become the judge of his life and death, the jigsaw serial killer, and was born!
John Kramer has also become the driving force behind the story of the "Chain Saw" series, and the life and death judgments of those guilty in each movie, their words and deeds in the cycle of life and death, have become movies. The biggest point of view. From behind the scenes, I didn’t think so much about the production of "Chain Saw" at the beginning. The production of "Chain Saw" series was completely due to the red-black horse effect of the first part, which allowed Lionsgate to see business opportunities. , And then step by step to complete and enrich this series, including the jigsaw madness mentioned above, in fact, the first description of him, it can be said that there is no description, but it creates a sense of ignorance.
The production policy of "Chain Saw" has become popular first, in fact, it is also a common production model in Hollywood. For example, the popular American drama "Lost" is to dig a hole in the first season, and then continue to dig after it bursts. The pit continues to expand, and even the gods are in the back. Of course, the drama is a good one, and I still like it.
The same goes for "Chain Saw". When the filming of "Chain Saw 1" was started due to budget constraints, I didn't expect this movie to become such an evergreen IP. And do you know the cost of the first part of "Chain Saw"? As we all know, only a mere US$1.2 million and only 4 days of daily salary can produce "Chain Saw 1" in 18 days. The director is now the hottest Wen Ziren. This is also his first feature film. , Wen Ziren and his "Saw Fright" were an instant hit.
The final box office reached 100 million U.S. dollars, and the blood earned 84 times! Although the cost of the subsequent "Chain Saw" has increased, compared with those big star productions, the total cost of the eight parts is only more than 70 million U.S. dollars, but the global gold has reached nearly 1 billion U.S. dollars, which can be listed as the most profitable in film history. One of the most cost-effective series of IP.
So the first Wen Ziren’s "Chain Saw 1", what kind of magic power is used to make this IP stand firm from then on, and how do we connect the complex stories and many characters of 8 movies in series? Next, let Let's start the story of the "Chain Saw" series!
Chainsaw Fright
Before talking about the feature film of "Chain Saw 1", let me introduce to you the 9-minute short film "Chain Cry 0.5". This is the touchstone that this series can really be seen by the world.
It is precisely because of this short film that Lionsgate saw it, that they invested money to make a feature film for them. If you like to watch thrillers and horror movies, you should be familiar with Lionsgate. Although Lionsgate has never been a wealthy owner, the 1.2 million budget is a bit stingy.
The short film was created by Wen Ziren and the screenwriter Ray Warnall. The male lead of the short film and the young male lead of the "Chain Saw 1" feature film is Ray Warnall.
At the beginning of the short film, the police interrogated the male protagonist who came out of the ghost door. The male protagonist recalled his experience after being kidnapped. He woke up in a closed room with a timed oral ripper on his head. The TV in the room turned on automatically, and the cute jigsaw doll head appeared, telling him that if he wanted to survive, he had to use a scalpel to find the key from the belly of the man lying next to him.
When the male protagonist took the scalpel to do this, he found that the man was still alive, but he could not move his body but was conscious. In other words, the male protagonist had to become a murderer and kill others if he wanted to save himself. . In the end, the male protagonist was able to talk to the police and record a confession, which shows that he has been ruthless.
Although the content of this short film was just a gimmick, many elements in this short film later became classic icons of the "Chain Saw" series, such as the mouth tearer, and the dilemma of life and death. , Cute vortex face dolls riding children's tricycles and so on. The scene at the end of the short film has also become the most important part of the main line of the secret room in the feature film.
good! Are you ready? Turn off the lights! Games start! In the darkness, the male protagonist Adam woke up in a bathtub full of water. At this time, the lights in the room turned on automatically. Adam found that he was tied to an abandoned closed toilet, and his feet were chained to the water pipe. There is also a middle-aged man on the opposite corner of the room, and his trapped operation is the same as Adam. After exchanging information, it was discovered that Adam was a photographer and the middle-aged man was a surgeon. The two did not know each other and did not know why they were kidnapped here. What's even more weird is that there is a fresh corpse lying between them. Judging from its condition, it should have been just recently hung up. The corpse holds a pistol in one hand and a tape recorder in the other.
Soon, Adam found that he had an envelope in his pocket with a cassette in it, and an envelope in the doctor's pocket with a cassette in it, and he had a key and a bullet in his pocket.
When the doctor saw the key, of course he immediately unlocked his anklet, but it was obviously the wrong size. After both of them tried to no avail, they noticed that the body's tape recorder could play tapes. Adam finds a way to get the tape recorder on the corpse and play his own tape. The content is about the sordid things Adam did before voyeurism.
And the doctor's tape tells the doctor that there is a clue with an X mark. The task is to kill Adam before 6 o'clock, otherwise his wife and daughter will suffer. The doctor also discovered the details at this time. The audio tape with amplified volume heard the more secret follow your heart, following your heart. Soon they found that the toilet was marked with a 6.. heart-shaped shape, so Adam digs and digs in the soup full of rice fields, making his hands full of chocolate but nothing. As a result, I changed my mind and discovered that there was a black package in the water storage tank with two saws inside. So they saw the iron chain crazily with one hand each, but facing the iron chain as thick as their legs, this vertical The saw is completely useless.
Only then did the doctor understand that the boss behind the scenes wanted them to saw off their legs to get a chance of escape. From this behind-the-scenes boss' motive, the doctor recalled a strange case he had contacted before. It was a serial murder case, and the murderer has not been found yet.
There have been several horrific serial killings in the local area. For example, a fat man who didn't cherish his life was placed in a basement. If he wanted to escape, he had to pass through a barbed wire fence, but he died tragically inside. At the murder scene, there is a box of tape recorders, which is also a game of life and death.
Another time was when a little brother declared that he was dying, in order to passively sabotage his work. Then he was also arranged a life and death test. He had to walk back and forth repeatedly on the floor of the slag glass to see the code combination on the wall. She was coated with a layer of flammable grease, but during the viewing process, the lighting candle was accidentally lit and burned herself.
Why the doctor knows this is because the police found a flashlight with a doctor’s fingerprint at the scene of the murder, so the police took the doctor back to the police station and asked the doctor to provide an alibi. The doctor could only explain it, and he went to steal the fish that night. Make an appointment with a lover.
After the doctor provided the alibi, the police asked the doctor to stay and listen to the narrative of Amanda, the only survivor in a similar kidnapping case. Amanda's horrible experience is actually the essence of the previous "Chain Saw 0.5". Amanda dug out the key in the belly of the living and lying person, and exchanged the life of others for her own.
At this time, the jigsaw doll came out on his beloved small three-wheeler, and said the motif of the trial of the "Chain Saw" series. People often don't know how to cherish life and trample on life, only to experience the test of life and death. Only when I come down will I cherish life again and be a good man. It's a pity that Amanda's escape experience did not cause any disturbance to the doctor. After returning home, the doctor coaxed her daughter to sleep and continued to run out to cheat, and ended up in this large toilet.
And his wife and daughter were kidnapped at that time. On the other side, the old policeman finally turned on the lamp overnight and found the clues, and found the so-called lair of the serial killer Jigsaw. As a result, he was trapped by a doll and fell into the planned trap. On the one hand, the hostage had already sat on the electric drill chair, and the other was under control. With the jigsaw, the police were faced with the dilemma of saving or arresting people. They said that it was too late and that time, and the jigsaw briefly transformed into Assassin’s Creed and wiped the old policeman’s neck.
The young partner was even dropped by the agency. The two people who were still in the big toilet on the other side accidentally found the camera behind the mirror. At this time, the jigsaw was probably observing in secret. At this time, the doctor opened the door to memories again and shared his family photo with Adam, but Adam accidentally found that his wallet had a photo of abducting the doctor’s wife and daughter. At the same time, there were clues marked with X on the back of the photo. This photo cannot be shown to the doctor, otherwise the doctor It would really kill Adam.
Then Adam guided the doctor to turn off the light. The X mark appeared on the wall. The doctor cut through the wall and took out the box. The box contained a mobile phone that could only answer and could not make calls. There were cigarettes and a note. The note suggested that the doctor had poisoned the body with cigarettes The blood is drawn to Adam, and Adam can be rescued if he is dead.
The doctor thought about it, turned off the lights and colluded with Adam, and let Adam smoke deliberately to pretend to be dead. I want to say, as far as Ray Wynard’s acting is, it’s better to continue to be a screenwriter. But who knows that the iron chain has a charging function, directly awakening Adam who was pretending to be dead, and the performance time for the two is over. At this time, the phone rang and the doctor knew that his wife and daughter had been kidnapped. Only Adam's death could save his family.
The doctor finally knew that Adam actually knew the doctor before and hired a mysterious person to take photos of the doctor secretly dating his lover. These photos, which were put together with the jigsaw before, were only hidden by Adam at the time. The man who hired Adam was not a jigsaw, but an old policeman. The old policeman was not dead at the time but was suspended. However, based on his stubborn instinct, the old policeman believed that the doctor was a serial murderer. As a result, he took a lot of photos of the doctors cheating. . In these photos, they inadvertently found the doctor's nurse standing at the doctor's house. It turned out that it was the nurse who kidnapped the doctor's wife and daughter. They also believed that the nurse was the serial killer.
At this time, the mobile phone rang, and the wife and daughter of the nurse and the doctor happened to be on the other end. At this time, the game time has come. The nurse is about to kill the doctor’s wife and daughter. He heard multiple gunshots on the phone, and his wife and girl were dead. At this time, the doctor was eager to save his wife and daughter, and he really used a saw to cut off his legs with his teeth. It was so sour! Then the doctor picked up the corpse's gun and loaded it with bullets and shot Adam.
The nurse on the other side was stopped by the veteran police, and the doctor’s wife and daughter had already fled the scene. The caregiver plan was disrupted, and he had to go to the secret room to kill the doctor and Adam. Just when the caregiver was about to shoot the doctor, Adam suddenly woke up and killed the caregiver. It turned out that Adam was shot by the doctor and hit a non-vital part. , Can also be regarded as the opposite of the matryoshka. The doctor promised that he would come back to save Adam again, huh, who knows.
At this time, Adam wanted to search on the nurse to see if he could find the key to the anklet, but he found out an identical tape recorder, and also helped him bring the inner seed for direct listening. It turned out that the carer was not a jigsaw, he was just a poor participant. The carer was poisoned with chronic poison and had to choose between self-help and killing the doctor's wife and daughter. He chose the latter.
At this time, the strongest reversal of the whole film came, and the "corpse" of the whole movie was lying in the room, and he slowly stood up...him! It is the real behind-the-scenes boss of this Chainsaw Horror game, the ultimate matryoshka king king of kings! Jigsaw! After the jigsaw woke up, the truth was revealed. The jigsaw was a patient with terminal cancer. The doctor's hospital was where he went to see the doctor. In the process, he saw that people have healthy bodies but were doing all kinds of things that violated morals. After that, Jigsaw tried Adam again, and when he left, turned off the light and locked the door of the secret room firmly!
Although the cost of the work "Chain Saw" is only 1.2 million US dollars, the suspense points of the script are carefully set, the surprise and ingenuity of the level life and death game layout, the visual stimulation of restricted violence, and the most important thing is the ending. This kind of reversal, so that the film won a good reputation and box office. The jigsaw has also gained a reputation. In the film, the jigsaw attacked the old policeman, but the old policeman survived. It also shows that the jigsaw has a good control over the strength and will not kill people and put life and death in power. , Leave it to my choice and destiny.
Of course, the "Chain Saw Cry" series has not been blown to the rhythm of the word of mouth in the West. For example, the professional score of the entire series of Rotten Tomatoes has not passed, and the first part only got 50% professional score. It is still in the past few years. The rising score was lower when it was first released. These differences are mainly entangled in the value and moral thinking of John Kramer as the protagonist. Many people think that the film is too much to blacken the jigsaw, to rectify the name and whiten it, but it actually expresses the social issues and the source of evil. Empty.
In fact, these are all right, but for a thriller genre, not only plasma recharge and violent images, but also some moral and social issues that are worthy of discussion and controversy. For an entertainment-based thriller, it has been It's hard to come by. I believe that many people watch the jigsaw, and they are not rushing to agree to his judgment of life and death, sympathizing with him, but disagreeing with him, and then watching it happily, the purpose of "Chain Saw" has been achieved!
"Chain Saw" 2
Because of the popularity of the first movie, "Chainsaw 2" came out the next year quickly. This time Wen Ziren turned to be behind the scenes and acted as an executive producer. He handed the guide tube to Darren Lynn Bowes. Man, the screenwriter is still Ray Wynard, who is pretending to be dead and acting very ordinary. Darren can be said to be another important person in the "Chain Saw" series. "Chain Saw 2, 3 and 4" are all guided by him and maintained a high level. The jigsaw story line is also quite complete. .
Darren returns to directing the latest "Chain Saw 9" this time. I don't know if he can bring more surprises. The plot of "Chain Saw 2" immediately follows the previous episode. Jigsaw's trial of those who don't cherish life continues. The story begins with a one-eyed man being locked up in a secret room with a mask full of nails on his head. If he wants to save himself, he must dig out the key from his right eye with his bare hands.
In the end, he failed to die through the game. At this time, the male protagonist Matthews appeared. He had just divorced and was selfish and short-tempered. He once killed innocent people in jail, and even his son despised him. Because of this, Matthews became the test object of the jigsaw humanity choice.
Just as Matthews and his son had not eased up, the police department notified Matthews to handle the case. The case was the first scene of the one-eyed man being embarrassed. Matthews confirmed that the one-eyed man was the informant in his other cases. , Obviously, the jigsaw is set up like this to make Matthews fall into the pit.
At the murder scene, there was a reminder of "Look closer" on the wall. After a whole night of thinking, Matthews finally remembered that the so-called closer, that is, there is an abandoned factory address on the nail mask, maybe there is. Clues to the case.
So Matthews and the female partner and a group of police officers went to the destination. Sure enough, the jigsaw had been waiting for a long time, and his expression seemed to say how you came, didn't you let you come closer? At this time, the jigsaw has entered the incurable stage and the cancer must be kept alive in a sling. In this case, there is no resistance. Then Matthews ordered the arrest of people to close the stall. At this time, the jigsaw spoke, or you should first Go to the front room and open it to see what's in it.
So Matthews uncovered the black cloth and saw a row of surveillance cameras. In the surveillance screen, a group of people were locked in a secret room. Take a closer look. Among them was Matthews' son who was shrinking in the corner.
Matthews became furious and wanted to violently question Jigsaw’s son where he was stopped by the police. Jigsaw explained that this secret room was full of a chronic poisonous gas. If it hasn’t escaped within 2 hours, everyone will die. Can you escape? It depends on whether their IQ is online and whether they can cooperate well, including Matthew Spence on the sidelines.
A total of 8 people on the side of the chamber woke up from anesthesia. Among them was Amanda from the previous episode. The reason was that she tried to commit suicide again after that. So Amanda also had a wealth of experience, and she began to look for clues all over the house, and finally found the tape on the wall, and the familiar sound of the jigsaw began to echo in the room.
The jigsaw began to explain the rules of the game. The safe has an antidote, and the password is related to everyone. The other rooms in the house also have an antidote. It depends on everyone to find it. Why are 8 people here because everyone has one thing in common. , Find the common point to know the reason, and the clue is at the X mark. Along with the tape, there is a key and a note. The note clearly states that the key is not used to open the door of the secret room, but the sleeveless man does not listen. He still has to use the key to open the door and try it. As soon as the sleeveless man opened the door, the mechanism was activated, and the bento man received a bento with a shot.
After seeing the blood, everyone finally got serious. Amanda also reminded once again to follow the rules of the game or more people will die. Sure enough, the door opens automatically when time is up, and the game of finding the antidote to life and death is just starting. Matthews is a little bit arrogant when he sees that the surveillance is dead. He no longer gets angry and asks the jigsaw to let his son go. The jigsaw asks Matthews to chat with him alone, and tell Matthews when the time is up. The whereabouts of Si's son.
Matthews could only agree to sit down, and Jigsaw began to introduce himself as John Kramer. After he was diagnosed with cancer, he thought of suicide, but recovered his life in an accidental car accident. From then on, he realized that he thought He was destined not to be extinct, and he became the judge of his life and death.
Matthews is such an impatient person who doesn't bother to listen to John's feelings about life there, and we have already said it before, have we? Then let’s look at the secret room. After a group of people went out, they found that the doors they went out were all sealed. There was no way they could only search the rooms one by one. At this time, the blonde girl found an underground secret door. After everyone went in, they found a letter. It's a tape for thin people.
It was hard to hear when I opened it. It turned out that everyone was locked here inexplicably, and they were all caught by the thin man. Everyone must collectively thank the thin man. When everyone heard it, they finally knew why they were here. The sleeveless man had the most impulse to kill him, but he had to endure it in order to understand the medicine.
In order to express gratitude, Jigsaw specially tailored a mechanism for thin people. In the incinerator, one antidote is prepared for thin people, and the other is given to whoever you want. So the thin man went in to get the antidote. It was easy to get the first one, but when the second one was pulled off, the iron door of the incinerator was automatically locked, and the fire in the furnace went up. It's a cremator!
Everyone saw the thin man struggling in the crematorium and was finally burned alive, and the antidote naturally became a funeral. At this time, the life and death game time has passed halfway, and the poison is invading everyone's body, and the blonde woman and the red woman are almost unable to hold it. Everyone was in a good mood and found a new room again. This room was prepared for sleeveless men. There was a tape about sleeveless men in it.
It turns out that the sleeveless man is a drug dealer, so there is a huge hole in the room full of needles. If the sleeveless man wants to get the key to the outside world, he has to pick it out from the needle. Of course, the sleeveless man will not play in person. Pushing Amanda down next to him directly, Amanda could only reluctantly turn over for everyone, and finally found the key.
But the sleeveless man, a pig-like teammate, still didn't open the door within the specified time, and everyone was locked. At this time, there is still half an hour left before everyone’s death. Matthews still couldn’t ask why on Jigsaw, but Jigsaw told Matthews that these game participants were all made by Matthews back then. Those who were sent to prison for perjury hated Matthews. If these people knew that Matthews' son was inside, the fate of the pony would be unthinkable.
Matthews finally couldn't hold back, and began to torture the jigsaw with a fist and wait, and the jigsaw called to stop, I will take you to see your son, but there is a condition that the two of them go alone, Matthew Si can only agree. At the same time, the police located the source of the signal, and the police started to go to the target location.
Sure enough, in the secret room, the lady in red found the X-marked frame and discovered that the pony is the son of Matthews. At this time, the three ladies also knew about it, but they were not as angry as they thought. The sleeveless man on the other side accidentally discovered that everyone has a number on the back of his neck, which also corresponds to the password behind each person's thought, and the thought is the head.
So the sleeveless man brutally hacked Xiao Hei to death, and began to collect everyone's password. At this time, the woman in red ran into a room by mistake and found an antidote in a glass box. She was a little confused by the poison. She stretched out her hand to take it. The clip made her flesh and blood blurred. The sleeve man didn't mean to save her when he came over. After reading the password on the back of his neck, he flashed people directly.
In order to avoid the sleeveless man, Amanda and Xiao Ma returned to the original room and tried to block the door with a safe. They accidentally discovered that there was an underground secret room under the safe, so they took the original key to open it, and the sleeveless man hit the door. Followed afterwards.
The underground secret room leads to the secret room of Adam and the doctor in the last episode. Adam has become a corpse there, and the doctor did not come back to save people. At this time, the sleeveless man also came to ask for the password, but his neck was wiped out by Xiao Ma Xiao Universe. Matthews was also taken to the basement chamber by the jigsaw, but Matthews fell lonely.
At this time, the mysterious man in the pig mask hidden in the dark suddenly jumped out, injected Matthews with medicine, and Matthews passed out into a coma. Then there is the high-powered reversal of the film. Remember the group of policemen? They went to the source and destination, where there is also a monitoring system. This monitoring system is the image of the life and death game in the secret room that they saw before. 'S live broadcast is recorded, and everyone has been jigsawed to the matryoshka!
So when Matthews went to the secret room, Pony and Amanda had already left. At this time, the safe was opened regularly, and the pony man was inside.
After Matthews woke up in the secret room, there was a tape recorder beside him. The sound inside was no longer a jigsaw, but Amanda. It turns out that Amanda has become the disciple of the jigsaw in the last episode. In the last episode, Amanda recovered a life from the death god, and started to worship the jigsaw. If she wants to inherit the jigsaw mantle, even the jigsaw There can be successors even if you die.
It turns out that this game of life and death was strictly a jigsaw plan and executed by Amanda. We were not only set by the jigsaw doll, but also by Amanda. Matthews, who understood, suddenly saw Amanda at the door. Amanda closed the door like the jigsaw in the previous episode. Only death was waiting for Matthews.
This "Chain Saw 2" not only enriches the life and death game routines of the entire series, but also institutionalizes and formulates the relevant rules. More importantly, it also creates a disciple inheritance system. Obviously Lionsgate is in the first part. After the success, I want to make the IP of "Chain Saw" more vitality, so that this kind of escape room game can be filmed one by one. The perfect combination of the second and the first ending, as well as the bilinear narrative of the play mode, the reversal of the ending, etc., have also become the structure mode of the future "Chain Saw" series in the play.
Next, let's take a look at "Chain Saw 3", what surprises will the doll king jigsaw give us!
"Chain Saw" 3
Like the second part, the beginning of the third part is immediately after the previous one. We all know that the jigsaw is not much time. If you want to pass on his belief in judgment, you must succeed someone. Amanda is the jigsaw. Disciples.
So the last one was not only a test of those who do not cherish their lives, but also a test of the disciple Amanda. The test was very successful. Amanda handed over a report card that made Jigsaw very satisfied.
In the same way, the third part starts with the appetizer. A good-looking long-haired man has five big chains holding various parts of his body. If he doesn’t reluctantly pull out the chains within the specified time, he will explode into dregs. The result of course is that the latter has become scum.
In addition to the appetizer, the third part also has an additional appetizer. In the second part, the female police officer who has no sense of existence was also kidnapped by a pig mask. Her method of death and escape is more cruel. Before her is a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid. If she wants to save herself, she must take out the key in the sulfuric acid with her bare hands to unlock, otherwise the machine will pull out all her ribs one by one.
The female police officer knew the rules of the jigsaw game. She quickly reluctantly got the key, but found that the key was not the only one. This meant she was going to die. As a result, she was also opened.
It's time for our new heroine Linn to appear on the stage. She is a brain doctor, but recently she is always absent-minded and unconscious, so that the pig mask can easily kidnap her.
This pig mask is Amanda, and Lin was tied this time because the jigsaw was so sick that he was bedridden, but there was another game mission that was not done. The appearance of Lin was to prevent the jigsaw mission from being over. Die, Amanda tied a device that can burst his head on Linn’s neck, and linked the device to the heartbeat pulse of the jigsaw. As long as the jigsaw dies, Lian will be headshot. When the mission is over, Linn’s device will be used. Can be lifted.
Of course, Linn is not innocent. She cheated on her marriage and was seriously slowed down while treating patients.
This also leads to the concept of "Chain Saw" series jigsaw for trial of others, that is, not to judge the person he feels guilty according to the sentence, but to use capital punishment across the board, either live or die, and the game is heartbeat.
In this book, we can think more deeply and explore how much the jigsaw's so-called trial has played a role in society and others, whether it is to redeem the past of others or to release the devil in the human nature of others.
After Amanda was ready, the jigsaw said meaningfully: "Amanda, it's time to start our game."
In an abandoned warehouse, a fat man named Jeff is enclosed in a wooden box. His life is decadent and aggressive, but there are reasons for all this.
It turns out that Jeff’s son was unfortunately killed in a car accident, but the perpetrator was sentenced lightly by the judge. Justice and fairness could not be heard. Jeff gave up on himself. Of course, if this jigsaw alone will take people to the test of life and death. , It’s a bit unreasonable, but Jeff still has a daughter to take care of. Because of Jeff’s funeral, Jeff can’t let go of the past and become an irresponsible father.
So the game started. Jeff went to a large freezer freezer room, where a woman with Chi Guoguo was tied up. She was a witness to the car accident of Jeff’s son at the time, because this woman was indifferent and she was reluctant to testify in court. The perpetrator was sentenced lightly, so he was also brought to trial.
Faced with Jeff, there are two choices. One is to take the key to open the door and leave directly, and the other is to use the handcuff key to save the person.
Jeff was still in his heart. He felt that the witnesses were not guilty of death and wanted to save people with the handcuff keys, but he was not familiar with cruelty just after playing the game. The weak woman was sprayed naked by a water gun and soon became an ice sculpture. People, Jeff can only come out by himself and continue to explore.
On the jigsaw side, the brain is congested and life is dying. If you don’t have an operation, you will have to take a dog. Amanda asks Lin to save the person. Lin said that this situation must be sent to the hospital for surgery. Of course, Amanda does not approve it. Lin must solve it on the spot. , Lianen could only put together the hardware in the room to get a local craniotomy.
During the craniotomy, Jigsaw dreamed back of his good time with his ex-wife Jill, and grabbed Dr. Lane’s hand. This scene happened to be caught by Amanda. Amanda was jealous. I was also your disciple and shared with you. Adversity, I didn't expect you to be ambiguous with the doctor who had only seen you for a few hours.
Jeff went to another warehouse on the other side of the secret room. There was a big tank in the warehouse with a person tied to the tank. This person was the judge who lightly sentenced the perpetrator of the car accident. At this time, Jeff had two choices, one was to incinerate next to him. The furnace is full of the relics of Jeff's son. If you want to save someone, you have to burn the relic and put it down. Then you can take out the key to the rescue, or just watch the judge die.
After the rules were over, a dead pig began to be transported in. It was stirred into fragrant pig soup and poured over the judge. Seeing that the judge was about to be overwhelmed by the pig soup, Jeff reluctantly cut his love and pressed the burning button, and his son’s relics were in front of him. Burn out, the key to rescue the judge finally fell out, and Jeff saved the judge.
Amanda's jealousy did not subside, and she ran back to the room alone, a drug addiction felon, and wanted to start the drug injection again. The memories of her and the jigsaw came to mind one by one.
It turned out that from the first scene arrangement, Amanda directly participated and assisted in some heavy tasks, such as dragging Adam and the others to the scene, and finally the jigsaw lay down and locked the door.
Amanda became more and more angry, so she wanted to shoot Lin En with a gun directly. At this time, the jigsaw spoke, so that Amanda could not do this.
Jeff continues to find his way with the judge, but the game is still going on. This time, Jeff opened the next treasure box with a photo of his daughter and a magazine.
In the room, a black brother was tortured on the organ like he was nailed to a cross, he! It was the perpetrator who killed Jeff. If Jeff saved him, it would be forgiven him. If Jeff didn't save him, the black brother would be twisted into a braid by the agency.
But it is not easy for Jeff to save him. The key is linked to the trigger of the pistol. If Jeff takes the key, he may have to take a shot. Finally, Jeff studied the key device and cleverly got the key and avoided the bullet. , But the judge next to him died, and he was directly headshot while standing under the gun, and staged a performance of "The God of Death is Coming".
Amanda finally calmed down her jealousy. Turning around, she saw the jigsaw holding Lin's hand. The two seemed to be together again, and this time the jigsaw directly made Amanda avoid the suspicion.
Amanda ran to the next room without having an attack. At this moment, she opened a bag of mysterious letters. After reading, Amanda's expression became grim and she walked back to the jigsaw ward with a gun.
At this time Jigsaw was about to exempt Lianen, because the test of Jeff was over, Jigsaw asked Amanda to take off Lianen's neck and let her free, but Amanda just disagreed, and Jigsaw began to expose it. Some of Amanda's illegal operations.
It turns out that Amanda did not completely want to inherit the idea of the jigsaw. Amanda is a real executioner. She was in the first part, afraid that Adam would not die completely, or Adam would cut off his leg to escape. Turn back to suffocate Adam.
There is also the long-haired man at the beginning of the second part. In fact, even if the long-haired man breaks free from the chain, he can’t escape his life, because the door was welded to death by Amanda, and so is the female police officer. She still got her chest broken when she got the key.
There is also the second part of Matthews. In fact, Matthews had broken his leg and escaped, but Amanda turned back to fight Matthews directly. Matthews is still alive and dead.
I still want to dig my head here. In fact, Jeff’s key pistol mechanism is the same. I don’t know if you have noticed it. Jeff wants to save the perpetrator and takes the key to the mechanism. Gun, but my understanding is not to exchange my own life for the perpetrator's life. It is estimated that Jeff will not have such a great love, so the firepower of the gun should be just to blow the hand.
But then we also saw that the firepower of the gun triggered by the key immediately dropped the judge. I guess this is also Amanda's masterpiece, which is to maximize the firepower of the gun without leaving a living mouth.
In short, Amanda was already in an irrational state at this time, no matter how persuaded the jigsaw was, it was useless to persuade him. Just as Lin was about to walk out of the room, Amanda shot Lin.
At this moment, Jeff swayed and walked to the end of the game, which is the jigsaw room, just in time to see Lynn coming out and being shot by Amanda, Lynn fell into Jeff’s arms, Jeff The look in the eyes and the jigsaw's words tell us that Jeff and Lynn are husband and wife.
But they drifted away because of their son's car accident, which was also the main cause of Lin's derailment and neglect of work.
When Jeff saw that Lin was shot by Amanda, he backhanded the gun he got in the game and aimed it at Amanda. Amanda was shot in the neck artery and fell to the ground.
Friends! Are you ready? The Matryoshka King Jigsaw is about to start playing reverse again, and the truth about everything is about to be revealed!
It turns out that Jigsaw is not only for Jeff dolls, in fact, the entire game is still assessing whether Amanda will eventually kill Lane. Amanda thought that he successfully passed Subject Two in the second life and death game and gained the trust of Jigsaw. Who knows there is a subject three now.
In this movie, Jigsaw not only continues to be the king of matryoshka dolls, but also a riddler. I still remember the beginning of Jigsaw: "Amanda, it's time to start our game."
In fact, this sentence is a pun that tells Amanda that the game for her is also open at the same time. There are many other puns like this, including the jigsaw saying: "You must let a person live", which means jigsaw creation The rule of the game is that if the person passes the test in the end, the person will live, but Amanda chooses to kill them all.
And the jigsaw knows Amanda's affection for him, so he deliberately pulls Lin to show to Amanda, just to stimulate Amanda's jealousy, to see if she can accept the test.
Obviously, Amanda couldn't hold it in the end and shot and killed Lin. Of course, there is a very secret foreshadowing here, that is, the letter Amanda read, which will fill the hole in the later series.
In addition, why the jigsaw can be confident that Jeff has come to the end, I think it’s because in the entire Jeff’s game, we can see that there is no choice to directly target Jeff’s death, except for the gun with the key, but in front of the gun It is also analyzed that Amanda did the tricks.
So the jigsaw also has the element of betting.
Amanda soon took the dog. Although Lin was shot, he could still be rescued. At this time, Jigsaw said that if Jeff promised to forgive him for what he did, he would call for help.
Jeff slowly approached the jigsaw, looked at him affectionately, and slowly said, I forgive you!
I forgive your uncle, I forgive! After finishing talking about a chainsaw, Jeff talked about a chainsaw. Hey, this time it’s a real chainsaw. Lynn next to him wanted to tell Jeff not to do this, but before he could say everything, Jeff straightened it up. The saw wiped his neck.
At this time, the mechanism of Lianen's neck was still connected to the pulse of the jigsaw. After the jigsaw's heartbeat stopped, Lianen was immediately blown out.
Do you think this is the end? No, no, no! Before his death, Jigsaw picked up the prepared tape again. It turned out that Jeff was still in the doll, Lin was headshot and the doors were automatically locked, and his daughter was placed in a place that only Jigsaw knew. At this time, Jeff completely broke down, and the room was full of his desperate screams.
Jeff's daughter is...very innocent.
After talking about "Chain Saw 3", I personally think that this is the second best work in the entire series except for the first pioneering work. It is no wonder that watching the credits, the third part is the same as the first one, and the script has Wen Ziren. Participation, even judging from the degree of sophistication of production, the third part is a victory over the first part, after all, the budget has increased.
The previous two "Chainsaws" are two-line narratives telling two stories, but the third is the same two-line narrative, but tells three stories, one of which hides the ingenious assessment of Amanda, and finally reverses It is revealed, and these three lines can finally be converged strictly in the rules of the game. I have to say that the story creation is very delicate.
And in the third part, the jigsaw is getting bigger and bigger. I directly participate in the game and give my life to others, so that others can judge my own life and death. In other words, the jigsaw thinks he does this. Also guilty, in the end the jigsaw was also in this game, losing and losing, losing his own life, winning this game, sigh.
From the perspective of the development of the "Chain Saw" series, Kata Fang Ming knew that the "Chain Saw" series would have become a profitable steamed bun. At this time, it seems unwise to write the most important role to death, but the other way around, this The most attractive part of this series is to create a reversal. The protagonist Jigsaw that the audience thinks will not die, the main creation is written in the third part. The audience must want to know the next plot and how you can develop.
This kind of operation not only prevents the third part from becoming an assembly line work, but also attracts the audience to look down. High, it is high!
Then, let’s take a look at what happened in "Chain Saw 4"!
"Chain Saw" 4
"Chain Saw 4" uses a very cute (chicken thief) method, which prolongs the life of the jigsaw in disguise, and then also opens up new characters, and at the same time enriches the mental process of the jigsaw becoming a jigsaw.
The beginning of the film is also right after the end of the third part. The big boss jigsaw was really dead, and then the jigsaw was also dissected in the autopsy room. The dissection process was really overwhelming, especially for dinner. .
Soon the anatomist found an egg in the belly of the jigsaw, which was a tape, which was handed over to the new detective Hoffman in charge of the case.
The content of the tape says that you are the one who survived. Do you think the matter is over? No, the game has just begun.
Here we need to pause and explain. The beginning of the fourth part is actually directly connected to the fifth part. The content of the entire fourth part of the movie is a story line that occurs synchronously with the third part, that is, to the audience. Talking about the appearance of other new roles, including Detective Hoffman.
So please don't get dizzy, let our time clock return to the beginning of the third part, that is, when the jigsaw is not dead, and Jeff is about to start the game, what happened in another place at the same time.
Yes, it was another chainsaw-style appetizer. The two people were locked by the mechanism, one closed their eyes and the other closed their mouths. Either you died or I lived. In the end, the mouth-closing man who looked like Stallone survived.
After that, the plot returned to the murder scene where the female police detective was ribbed at the beginning of the third part. Hoffman was in charge of the case and emphasized again that the jigsaw was not dead at this time, so Hoffman had not heard the jigsaw in his belly. Audio tape.
In addition to the Hoffman police investigating the scene, an FBI agent named Peter also participated at this time. In order to prevent everyone from blindness, here is a distinction between the two brothers. Hoffman is fatter and has lips and nose. It's swollen. Peter is thinner and has heavy bags under the eyes.
The FBI agent named Peter gave a physical analysis as soon as he came up. He thought that Amanda could not lift a female police officer who was heavier than her, and the jig saw cancer was so sick that she was still dripping. Hanging up, and speaking of it, Peter thinks there are other people helping the jigsaw to do this.
That night, Detective Hoffman was kidnapped by a pig mask. It must be a game of life and death waiting for him.
On the other side, another new character detective appeared on the stage. It is easy to remember that he is called Xiao Hei Ge. He is the captain of the SWAT team, but Xiao Hei has become the most inconvenient person in the team. He is always impulsive and reckless, which is easy to emotions. The transformed captain opened a team to lead the team, making the players always sweat for their lives, because some of the players' lives were ruined by the reckless decision of the little black brother.
One night, Xiao Hei was attacked in his home. After waking up, the home TV played a familiar jigsaw game rule guide. Jigsaw told Xiao Hei that he kidnapped Detective Hoffman and another person in front of him. That person was In the second part of Matthews, it turns out that Matthews broke his leg and escaped. After being torn with the returning Amanda, Amanda did not kill, but imprisoned Matthews in captivity.
Now the two detectives are colleagues of Brother Xiaohei. Jigsaw asks Brother Xiaohei to play the game according to his instructions, otherwise the ice under Matthews’ feet will gradually melt, and Matthews will be hanged. The molten water will be electrocuted, and the current will also electrocute Hoffman.
So Brother Xiaohei could only start the game in order to save his colleagues. He found that there was a pig-faced man in the room. He uncovered the mask and saw that he was a trafficker who abducted a girl. At this time, the trafficker’s hair was turned into the office and his scalp was about to be slapped. After tearing it down, Brother Xiaohei couldn't save him. He searched the house but found that the knife and scissors were taken away. Finally, when the trafficker wailed, Brother Xiaohei finally solved the code, but the trafficker took out the locker from the cabinet. The knife had to stab the little black brother back, and little black brother could only subdue the trafficker in an inexplicable state.
It turns out that the human trafficker also has a cassette tape, asking the trafficker to kill the little black brother after being rescued, otherwise she will be announced that her crimes will go to the bottom of the prison.
I don't know how the trafficker felt when he saw the knife. Knowing that the murder weapon he was giving him was a knife, he asked Brother Xiao Hei to use it to cut off his hair first.
Then Xiao Hei went to the destination according to the hotel key he got after clearing the first level, opened the room with the key, and found the game cheats box of the next level. Inside was the photo of the fat hotel boss, and Xiao Hei followed the recorder's Operate, trick the fat boss into the room, and then there is a darkroom full of evidence from the fat boss.
It turns out that the fat boss is a strong criminal. He usually fascinates some good women and then starts. When Xiao Hei sees this, he wants to punish him. It just so happens that the jigsaw mechanism has been set up, and the fat boss is forced to go to the office by Xiao Hei.
