<Chain Saw 4>: The same goal by different routes

The Hollywood series of films is a brand that makes money. The Chainsaw Horror series is especially one of the amazing ones. When I watched the first film many years ago, I directly laid my respect for the Hollywood horror film, small cost, great wisdom, and vivid on the screen. This time I saw the fourth film that I admired for a long time, although wearing colored glasses, bloody, violent and perverted I also felt it. After all, I felt that the intention was still a game.

The initial brainstorming of the film was so detailed that it made people feel the urge to vomit, but after all, it did not vomit. I still read it carefully. Looking up, there is a little more fear. For the same kind of physical ability to cut so blindly, would they not find it difficult to kill? Of course not, of course not, my fantasies are purely blind, there is no evidence, and at the same time Not responsible for this. The

story has twists and turns, analyzing the past and the past, and looking forward to the future, seemingly to give a way to release the doubts years ago. Perhaps it was John who showed the wisdom of overtaking everything in the previous three parts, so the first The truth

revealed in the four parts is somewhat unacceptable. First of all, there is a plot similar to that in <1408 Phantom and Murderous Room>. The father who loses his child cannot face the real blow of life. This is the naivety of Western men or all men. The cowardice? Although I understand that the loss of blood is a kind of self-continuing despair, but the mother who is the mother is also the victim. Two lonely people can completely warm each other, not to mention that their pain is connected. But the man chose to escape, resent, and the power of pain. Is it so terrible?

Secondly, another reason for John's transformation lies in his original kindness and wisdom, a person who is full of love for society, once he is betrayed and abandoned , It is easy to get hurt physically and mentally. This is understandable, but is the span of a sudden change to become a judge too large? Is the power of wisdom enough to step from Jesus to Satan? Or is the original Western values ​​so easy to be shattered?

Of course, the sense of crisis that is shoulder to shoulder with death makes it understandable for John to have an extraordinary experience of life. He chooses to appear again and again, and the texture of life is gushing out again and again. This is the most exciting force in the film. However, in the shaping of John's ins and outs. On the top, the plot of the story has fallen, which weakens the maverick characteristics of the film. Of course, maybe my requirements are too high, or I have been fooled for too long, and the expectations of the mysterious person are too high, and I always don't want to see him mysterious The veil was lifted so easily. However, it was finally like this. There was no ups and downs, a criminal with high IQ was created so easily. Is this the power of human nature or the fatigue of the director?
