This is not a horror movie, this is an ethical movie.

There is a story in the "Bible" that says that Cain killed his brother. After the Lord knew about it, he would not take his life. Instead, he told everyone that you should not take his life. Cain committed a crime, but If people hurt him, they will be punished ten times.

Every time I think of this story, it always scares me. Just like the famous sentence, if someone slaps you on the left cheek, you have to stretch your right cheek over and beat him. Naturally, this sounds unbelievable. The Chinese saying is that if people don’t offend me, I don’t offend people. But he didn't say the next thing. If someone commits a crime against me, what should I do? In Christianity, there is no question of whether someone commits a crime or not, because people are born with original sins, and no one is not a wicked person. Even if they are committed, they are a process of atonement for themselves.

It is much easier to understand the film in this way. The protagonist Jigsaw seems to be playing the role of a guardian. He is not killing people. In fact, he is only testing people in the end. ——It seems that they asked for it.

He set up so many levels, first to test Amanda, but she didn't stand up to such tests and eventually died. Finally, he tested Jeff again, begging him not to kill himself, and Jeff failed to withstand the test in the end, he killed Jigsaw. And he didn't know that Jigsaw's life and death were actually closely linked to his wife. Jigsaw was dead, and the device on his wife's neck exploded, killing her.

Undoubtedly, Jeff is a man with a conscience. He has three chances to kill three people who indirectly and directly killed his son. Every time, he decides to let them go. Even in the end, he still still Failed to save them. He was gradually on the verge of collapse, and when he finally faced the Jigsaw who planned all this, he finally failed to let go of his hatred as he had done before. He killed him, just as everyone killed Cain, he would be punished even more.

Ironically, the prop of chainsaw appeared twice in the film. Once, a female doctor used a chainsaw to perform brain surgery for Jigsaw and saved his life. At this time, the chainsaw was a tool to save people. And another time, Jeff used a chainsaw to cut Jigsaw's neck and killed him. At this time, the chainsaw became a tool of murder.

I quite like this ingenious arrangement, which seems to be the most cruel and true portrayal of human nature.

I haven't watched the other parts in this series, because I heard it was scary before, so I didn't dare to watch it. Then the audience said that this third part was bloodier and more disgusting than the others. Basically, people who watched it said "it's too vicious, I can't stand it!" and also saw reports that several foreign audiences watched it in the cinema. When I was scared, I fainted. Today, I had a convulsion, so I decided to pick this "most" to look at. It turned out that it was really okay, I didn't feel scary, at least it didn't make me sick. Including the 10-minute "brain surgery" that everyone is most embarrassed about, I also watched the whole process intently... First, I used a knife to cut the skin at the beginning layer by layer, and then use an electric drill to make a hole in the back of my head, and then use it. The electric saw cut a piece of skull, and finally pried the skull out with the hook that I can’t name. The dark red blood came out like water pouring up in a pipe, and the brain tissues could be clearly seen. structure. In fact, I think the shots are quite beautiful, at least better than the rough and inferior video of cutting soldiers' heads that I have seen before.

When it comes to horror movies, there are actually two types, one is the haunted and supernatural, and the other is the bloody and disgusting. I have an immune system for the latter, so seeing those people shouting that I can’t stand it, and after watching the bloody scenes where I can’t eat, I hardly feel anything. Is it because I watched too many horror films made by the United States when I was young? I remember when I went to my brother's house, he always played horror movies such as "Alien", and I didn't feel uncomfortable at that time. Later, I saw a lot of monsters like a snake or a bug that got into the human body, and then the person turned into a very disgusting monster, etc. Anyway, these things would not feel scary. I also saw a more classic, a perverted uncle cut off his head, but he was not dead, his head was still talking, and he used his headless body to hold his head to force a kiss. The women he likes are embarrassing to think of now. It's the kind that is haunted and ghostly, and I firmly dare not look at it. I thought I was even a part of "Searching for People in the Deep Sea" at the beginning. I think that things like ghosts are supernatural and come from the unknown, so I feel deeply scared. In the final analysis, bloody and disgusting things like this are all artificial. Cutting people around is also the structure of the human body, so it's not that scary.

But I said, in the future, can the TAG of this horror movie be more detailed. This haunted movie is also called a horror movie, and the bloody movie is also called a horror movie. Damn, they are all horror movies. If you want me to say, the haunted ones are called ghost movies, and the bloody ones are called horror movies. That's so harmonious.

But like this film, I think it is not a horror film, it is an ethical film that analyzes human nature. . .
