The second brush, I think it is better than the first one. The behavior of the characters is in line with common sense and logic, and there are no obvious omissions and flaws in my opinion. This entry point has become smaller, and the game is mainly aimed at Matthew, thus avoiding the discussion of causes and motives like the first part. When watching it, you are tense and oppressive, and then your heart palpitations and weakness, and the goal has been achieved. By the way, there is a major flaw in this series of films. The main premise is that an old man who is terminally ill but thinks he is qualified to be a judge uses extreme perverted methods to alert those so-called ungrateful people who waste their lives. The setting is not convincing at all, it will only make people think of pure psychopathic anti-social murderers, the kind of people who are beaten to death by random sticks and divided into corpses without venting their hatred, and a successful policeman should be hated and respected. This may also be the reason why the series only stays at the level of horror and suspense films at most, and the theme cannot be dug deeper and cannot be pulled higher.

Back to this video. First of all, it is necessary for those viewers from the perspective of God to consider how the characters in the film survive in a desperate environment. Can you expect them to be calm? Expect them to think normally? Secondly, I have to defend a few words for the big man who was scolded for being stupid. His original intention was not to kill everyone. As he said in the film, he just wanted to know the number. As for the cruelty of cutting off the number on the back of his neck later, I think it fits his image of a big, fearless, straight-forward man. When looking for the antidote and exit with everyone before, every time he found a new clue, he took the lead. Later, the people who were eager to get rid of the hindrance also showed their selfish side. In order not to share the antidote in the safe with others, it was the safest way to cut off their skin. In addition, John's game is aimed at Matthew. The settings of other people don't need much meaning. There is no need to point to point to suggest someone's sexual weakness, and the characters in the game are all entangled with Matthew. Such a setting has been Clever enough. Although I already knew the ending, when the camera returned to the dirty toilet, I couldn't help but gasp, and a sense of despair filled my heart. Also, exchanging fathers for sons is a high point.

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.
