More expectation, more disappointment

The movie theater was on sale today, so I hurriedly took my friends to see it. Before the release, I said that this film has only two endings, which are very perfect and very bad. But the result was unexpected. The first half was classic, and the second half was bloody.


First of all, let's talk about the advantages of this film:
1. It perfectly restores the classic scenes in the game. The part from meeting the detective to the detective being killed can be said to be the most perfect part of the film. The second is the perfect restoration of the playground.
2, 3D sense is full. I didn't expect a 3D effect at first, but whether it's a triangular head or a foggy scene, it can be said to be full of three-dimensionality.
3. Rewriting the original game script. The story is rewritten based on the third generation of the game, which can be said to be very successful. In this regard, this game is comparable to the first generation. However, the rough handling of the second half led to a decline in the overall level.
4. A tribute to the game. This film can be said to have a lot of easter eggs. First of all, the scene in the JAKE motel is a restoration of the third generation of the game and a tribute to the fourth generation. As we all know, the stories of the fourth generation happened in a hotel, so I personally think This scene has the meaning of paying tribute to the 4th generation. Secondly, the nurse's part can be said to be a tribute to Silent Hill 5, because the beginning of Silent Hill 5 is also the main character tied to the hospital bed. In the end, there were two little easter eggs. When they walked out of the town, they stopped a big truck, and the truck driver is the protagonist of "Silent Hill Origins", and when the truck drove away, there were two police cars and a prison car. Drive to Silent Hill, which is clearly the beginning of Silent Hill Heavy Rain.


shortcoming:
1. Lose your soul. If it weren't for the Silent Hill banner, this game would have fallen into an ordinary B-movie with an ordinary plot. At first, the protagonist had nightmares, and then her relatives disappeared. Someone told her that it was the key to XX. Then everyone advised her not to go. She went anyway, and finally eliminated the evil forces. This is an ordinary plot, and the tour guide completely forgets what the soul of Silent Hill is. The soul of Silent Hill is an exploration of human nature, the definition of madness, and the question of religion. These souls are perfectly presented in the first film, but in the second film, the new tour guide seems to not care about these at all, or he doesn't at all. Knowing this, compared to the first guide who likes to play this game, the guide in the second part seems to have never played the game at all. He just watched the first movie, read the game introduction, and then started shooting.
2. A scene for a scene. As we all know, everything in the inner world is the portrayal of the little girl's heart, so each scene has its own deep meaning and story, but in the second part, all the scenes pass by like a fleeting moment, especially the most What makes no sense is that there are nurses in the school.
3. The plot that makes people vomit blood. The final decisive battle was something I never expected, it turned out to be a monster battle! ! That last scene alone would make the film a naked B-movie. This is absolutely a disgrace to the spirit of Silent Hill.
4. The air defense alarm only sounded once! As a representative of the series, the transformation of the world between the table and the inner world is one of the souls of the work, but the tour guide seems to have forgotten this setting.
5. Not scary! Although some scenes are well constructed, the horror effect still stays on the ordinary B-level film, relying on sound effects and surprises to scare people.
6. The soy sauce of the boss, several bosses are very good, especially the spider, but the playing time is less than 5 minutes, and the soy sauce is successfully played.





Well, after talking about the advantages and disadvantages, let's talk about some details:
1. When the protagonist entered the school, the answering machine in the school's communication room made some small noises, which was a conversation between the protagonist and her father.
2. When the air defense alarm sounded, the church, which was the core scene of the previous work, was also the sanctuary of everyone. In this film, the church was quickly swallowed up by darkness, which also showed that the tour guide did not follow the footsteps of the tour guide in the previous work.
3. The protagonist of the previous work also came to make a cameo


Summary:
As of today, Silent Hill's games can be said to have come to an end. The latest "Heavy Rain" has been widely criticized, while "Book of Memories" on PSV has been reduced to an action game. It's hard to estimate whether this game will be released to the next generation, so there is a reason for the fall of the movie.
If you are an old fan of Silent Hill, you must go and watch it. If you just want to watch horror movies, then give him up.
