The so-called horror movie, I always think that the visual thriller is not scary. The most terrifying thing is that this movie can reach people's hearts and directly touch the lifeblood of people's inner panic. However, I'm really timid, and I skip watching the movie where I cut my eyes with a knife and cut off the skin on my neck by myself.
To be able to make more than 6 movies in a row like this, in fact, if you think about it, there are flaws. For example, since cancer patients are dying because they want to arouse the love of life in the world - this is the philosophical foundation of this film. Then his wanton poisoning of people's lives is a fundamental torture of his own philosophy of life. From the beginning to the end, there is no expression in the movie that the people framed by the police officers do not love life. If the old man is really trying to ridicule and punish such A law enforcement officer with different appearances, he can't afford to drag the people who have been imprisoned by him for several years to be buried with him.
In addition, there are mysteries everywhere in the claustrophobic secret room, but in the end, everyone seems to be suffocated by poisonous gas, and the most typical example is that there is a woman who clearly sees a trap next to the antidote and wants to put her hand in it. One is not enough, but two are all in.
If you look carefully at the flaws, 2 is much more than 1. But what deeply shocked me was the most natural thing in human nature. For example, in times of panic, it is often impossible to think. Think about it, why is there always such a person in the world who can easily grasp the life and death of others? Yes, they are smarter than others, but behind the wisdom is a transparent understanding of human nature.
The old man kept declaring when he was talking to Matthew that "if you keep listening to me you will eventually see your son". How could Matthew calmly talk about philosophy with a dying man when he watched his son fight against death in the back room? It was precisely because of fear that Matthew finally fell into the trap.
The murderer never killed a person himself from the beginning to the end. He just saw through the fears in people's hearts and knew that as long as he mastered people's fears, he could induce them to die step by step.
Sometimes after watching similar films, I would think, what kind of monsters do people have in their hearts? The human heart is separated from the belly, even if you dance with the devil, you may not be able to see through this evil soul, and this is the most terrifying thing.

Saw II quotes

  • John: Some people are so ungrateful to be alive, but not you... not anymore.

  • John: Hello, Xavier, I want to play a game. It's similar to the game you play as a drug dealer, the game of giving hope to the desperate. I think we can agree that your situation is desperate, so I'm going to offer you hope. By entering this room, you have started a timer on the door in front of you. When the timer runs out the door will be locked forever, locking away the antidote inside it. If you want to find the key, you will have to crawl through the same squalor that your customers have. I'll give you one hint where to find it.

    [Xavier and Daniel move a bed frame, revealing a pit full of hypodermic syringes beneath]

    John: It will be like finding a needle in a haystack.
