The story itself is a typical ghost story - illogical but plausible. Thirty years ago, a little girl in Silent Hill was burnt to pieces by the church as a witch. The evil power in her heart turned grief and anger into revenge and burned the whole town down. Thirty years later, with the help of a mother and daughter and a policewoman who was innocently involved, the little girl kills the rest of the story hiding in the church - a vengeance! The storyline seems to be very simple. The mother came to the ghost town because of the child and was involved in the past events. The mystery was uncovered one after another, and finally the truth came out. The mother and daughter were reunited, and they should be punished. There is retribution. The film uses flashbacks, first creating bizarre events with confusing horror scenes, and then finally finding out the truth and telling the audience. But the film contains a lot of hints. From the intertwining of the three-dimensional world to the variety of monsters, not only the heroine needs to run, but the audience also needs enough courage and a clear mind to catch up with the director's thoughts in each shot.
As the film progressed, especially in front of the church, the triangle head tore a woman's skin apart, and later in the church, Alice's dark body's great revenge, the scene of countless iron thorns tearing people apart, the scene was magnificent, which made me cry out. It is enjoyable, and the philosophical meaning of the film gradually becomes apparent.
The subtlety of this film lies in its three-dimensional world view, the orange-yellow normal world, the surface world filled with fog and ruins, and the inner world shrouded in darkness and invisible, and the editing method of the film makes the three worlds appear in parallel. Time staggered together. On the other hand, people who deal with the devil can't return to the normal world in the end, which is why the heroine and her husband can't meet at the end of the film, which foreshadows the sequel. There is a sharp contrast between the greatness of the heroine's mother's love and Alice's mother in the film. One is to put her daughter on fire and the other is to push her daughter into a bottomless abyss, which leads to Alice's dark side and Shannon's final combination at the end of the film. The reason for being the true face of Alice follows the heroine together. As for the group of people who were punished for sticking to their beliefs, it can be said to be ironic, which is a metaphor for the bad nature of some people in real life who blindly believe and do not repent. As ROSS said loudly to Kress: "You just burned all the people you feared to death."
When people encounter problems, most of them will blame others. In fact, in many cases, it is all of their own choice. As a result, the choice of the heroine ROSS, she once said to the policewoman in the church: "When I saw Shannon for the first time, I fell in love with her." ROSE chose Shannon, which is equivalent to Chose his own destiny, because Shannon will always return to Silent Hill one day, which cannot be stopped and changed. It was Rose's own destiny. So if you're in misfortune right now, ask yourself, maybe it's unintentional, but it's inevitable.
The film is innocent and innocent. Although there are brutal killings, everything stems from the wrong direction of things. Alice is not wrong. She just blames the revenge for being tortured by the world. People in the small town deserve it. Who should sympathize with? People who deal with the devil also have reasons to be coerced.
People always have two sides, dark and sunny appearances. The dark side of Shannon and Alice. The normal world and the watch world. How to choose, only the viewer knows.
