Silence in Silent Hill

It can be said that only the "Tomb Raider" series has been fully accepted for the movies that change the game. Others, such as "Resident Evil", are only late to the game, and the one I'm talking about now has only seen the movie. . Therefore, the following analysis only starts with movies and does not involve games.

From the whole story, what stands out is the three-dimensional worldview that everyone has commented on again and again, but I personally think that this is just a means to make the story empty, and the core of the story is "mother's love". A motherhood, or more personally a mother-daughter relationship.
From the beginning of the plot, there are only female characters, whether it is Sharon's adoptive father or the following people (men), they are eventually excluded from the outer world and the inner world, that is, the outer world and the inner world. As Tereza's spiritual cohesion (whether it belongs to the part of love or the part of hatred), there is no absolute male existence. To be more extreme, maternal love is more important in a little girl's deep spiritual and psychological category. That's why the line "Mother is God" appears in the movie.
But the "motherhood" in the movie doesn't just refer to Ruth alone. Here I am privately neutering and expanding the word. Every woman represents a woman in a girl's life. What Tereza's biological mother represents is a blood relationship, while Ruth represents only non-blood love, a cult woman represents a woman's evil, and a policewoman represents a woman's strength and bravery. It is the common action of such various people, to be precise, these women, that Trisha, who is also a woman, has a rich personality, whether it is kind or compassionate or evil, etc.
There are still a few points in the mother's movie. The devil, that is, Tereza, can be seen from the second half of the movie. She already looks like an adult. Although Sharon is transformed for her, it is said that she was "born". It's not bad, and the one defined by the film is a kind of metamorphosis, and the orientation arranged by the story as a mother's individual, no matter which party is pure and kind. Another detail is the line that the policewoman said when she was burned to death, "Save me, mother." Note that she was not talking about God, which means that mothers have an unparalleled weight in women's psychology. There are also settings from the beginning of the plot. Even if the adoptive mother is risking her life, she has to rush to the silent hill, and as the adoptive father, you can also know a little about the indecision.
Speaking of which, let me state that I am not a feminist.

The plot has nothing to say, what I don't understand is that I have a problem.
Let's talk about the music and sound effects. Personally, I think that its charm is definitely not inferior to the "Trinity" setting in the plot. As far as the title is concerned, "silent" originally means silence and silence, and it is also the "characteristic" of the whole town, but how to express its silence and the fear generated by silence is not an easy task. It is impossible to treat the film as a "silent film", and if it is simply still, it cannot create an atmosphere. The film cleverly goes in the opposite direction, interspersed with a lot of industrial noise. It's not rock, it's pure sounds like factory percussion, and then, immediately after such noise, a large section of sound is blank, no music, no The sound effect, like muting, suddenly absorbs the previous sound, which is especially quiet, even scary, and maybe some viewers can hear their own heartbeats (hehe, exaggerated).

Let's talk about other irrelevant topics, the little girl's gothic appearance is very good, and her eyes are very good, just like a little devil. In the last paragraph, the actors and demons appeared very well, the connection was very good, and it was a mess. The last point, unlike Biochemical, the heroine is an ordinary mother who has no power, so the game must be very interesting, ahahaha, go and play~~~
