Those who have played the game know that there are four endings in this game, and the endings are determined by certain key supporting characters in the game. When one of them is rescued, the plot will develop in a different direction, and when all of them are saved. The key characters will eventually be the best happy ending; if a key character is not rescued, the ending will develop in the worst direction, and the final result is just Nan Ke Yi Meng before the protagonist's death.
I thought this movie version would be more sunny, but who knew it was the worst ending in the game version... Because the protagonist Ross failed to save Anna and the policewoman Bernat, she and her adopted daughter Sharon, from the very beginning She was already dead, and she didn't know that her adopted daughter and Alessa, the girl who was murdered many years ago, were actually the same person. Alessa has never received maternal love since she was a child, not even love, so when she has all Ross's love, out of her hunger for love, she wants to own this love alone, and never told Ross that the two of them As early as in that car accident, he had already stepped into the underworld and entered the world of death.
Perhaps, this is the real story Silent Hill writers and directors want to tell... In times of crisis, people may be able to exert their potential, but perhaps, they will lose themselves in a trance, lose sight of the direction, and lose accurate judgment. Like Ross can't tell whether he is alive or dead.
Some people say that the movie is about a parallel world, and the protagonist is trapped in another space parallel to the real world. In fact, they think the problem is complicated. Anyone who has played the game knows that the protagonist is actually in the double world of life and death. The so-called parallel world is actually the world of the living and the world of the dead, the world and the underworld, nothing more.
This film is another film after the Spanish film "Mother" many years ago that made me feel very successful, but made me very depressed and sad that I didn't even want to watch it a second time. Love and hate this movie, not only because it is filled with horror caused by hate, but also highlights the wrong consequences of wrong beliefs. This makes people feel extremely sad. The whole film continues the horror of the game, even the Resident Evil ("Resident Evil") trilogy is not comparable to this kind of horror.
False beliefs are like venomous snakes that devour everyone who accepts them. Moreover, wrong beliefs will only magnify people's hatred infinitely. In the same way, wrong beliefs can also lead people into eternal darkness. Just like the church deaconess in the film, she is actually just a poor bastard who was led in the wrong direction by wrong beliefs. For the so-called reputation, she gave up reason and goodness, stood on the opposite side of righteousness, and faced everything with lies. , using wrong beliefs, wrong philosophies and wrong methods, brainwashing all those under her jurisdiction, killing innocent people in the name of "God's condemnation". Her wrongdoing led to the endless hatred of the victims, a powerful hatred that destroyed the town. Even the deaconess herself did not know that 30 years ago, she and the small town under her jurisdiction had been destroyed by the fire. In fact, the deaconess was just wishful thinking and stubbornly thinking that she and the people she ruled were fighting against the so-called evil. Killing, but she didn't know that she was the starting point and the end of evil. Therefore, this deaconess, and ultimately the soul, also suffered a terrible punishment, and unfortunately, she still did not repent. This is also the consequence of wrong belief, eternal darkness. This can not help but remind people of the "jihad" behavior initiated by extreme fanatics in a certain religion for many years. They are using this cruel method to continuously carry out terrorist violence in the name of "freedom and rights". , endlessly creating terrorist bombings, blaspheming the noble soul of mankind, and trampling on the lives of all people.
In American thinking, the values of the moral system based on Christian beliefs have always been vividly expressed, especially in his film and television works. This is one of the reasons why Silent Hill chose to use women as the biggest villain in the film. At the beginning of the film, the basic concepts of the film based on beliefs are pointed out, such as the symbols made of the Bible chapters that appear many times. One of the signs reads "He who hates the righteous will be condemned. (Old Testament · Psalm 34:21)", this sentence paved the way for all the residents of Silent Hill to be killed. In the "Old Testament, 1 Kings" in the "Bible" records a notorious woman Jezebel (Jezebel), she is a queen, has the power of life and death, and supports 850 worshipping idols. The priests of Li and Asherah, in order to seize the vineyard of a righteous man, Naboth (Naboth), colluded with the elders and nobles of Naboth's city, and perjured Naboth, causing Naboth to be stoned to death by the whole city (Old Testament). 1 Kings 21:1-26). Coincidentally, the same incident is also recorded in the "New Testament Acts of the Apostles". A Christian named Stephen was very capable and eloquent, so he was hated by the elders in the same city and bribed the bandits to perjury framed. Stephen, causing Stephen's death in the rioters' rocks (New Testament Acts 6:8-7:60). These two records are used in a hidden place in the film, which is the line "You are the first to throw stones!". From this line, it has been clearly pointed out that Alessa is innocent, that the deaconess is the incarnation of Jezebel, and those residents just became the thugs who were bought by Jezebel and became the people who helped Zhou and abused. Jezebel's name is also mentioned in the "New Testament · Revelation" of the "Bible", saying that she is "a woman who claims to be a prophet", and also refers to "the party who will kill her again", this is the town The cause of the fire was also the reason why Alessa's hatred eventually "blooded" the church. Alessa's aunt, the deaconess of the church, is such a woman who claims to be an "Messenger of God" - a "prophet", but is actually a "wolf in sheep's clothing", as Alessa's biological mother Dahlia said. As mentioned at the beginning of the film, "He who hates the righteous shall be condemned." And as the Bible says, "You do not hate murder and blood; therefore this sin shall pursue you." (Ezekiel 35:
So, in that dead space, everything is rusting, everything is rotting, everything is ashes. Why rust? because of obsolete. Why rot? because of corruption. Why Ashes? Because over time everything will be reduced to ashes. Only love will not change with time, as for hate, it will accumulate little by little and gradually deepen over time. Those souls who have been punished for hurting others, struggling in the dark space, continue to hurt others, just like those faceless nurses, there is only endless hatred between them.
Hence it is said that in a place full of hatred, "God is not there". But God is also there, even though He doesn't want to see people hating each other. It is human beings who choose to hate and choose to give up love. Alessa also has uncontrollable hatred because she has never been loved, hating everyone, even her mother Dahlia. But Alessa was Dahlia's daughter after all, and knew that Dahlia always loved her, so she didn't kill her mother. This is different from the deaconess. The deaconess, for the sake of her own interests, for the sake of her own reputation and status, abandoned her family and even set her niece at the stake, which led to the whole tragedy.
And this is the world, this is the living reality.
Silent Hill is a watershed between love and hate, one side is love, the other is hate, and the middle is the process of silent thinking. People can't choose to have two boats, just like belief, people can't choose to have two beliefs at the same time. The paths leading to heaven and hell are completely different. People can only choose one of them, either this one or that one. There is absolutely no possibility of taking both paths at the same time. After thinking about it, people can only choose to take one of the paths.
Many times, people must first learn to be silent before they can see clearly and think clearly, but they must understand that perhaps only death can make people think more.
