"Chain Saw 5" (Saw V): Degenerate from a movie series into a series
(text: Vulcan)
set, leave one seems to have something to pay The door to the existence of nothing; watching from the wall, watching the battle of the trapped beasts.
Quiet. Solemn. Because of the excessive silence, I can hear; the sound of
all the blood pulsing while being slaughtered
-chi chi ; chi chi ... - Vulcan Ji. Inscription.
"Saw" (Saw) is a movie that once shocked me; "Saw II" (Saw II) is a gluttonous feast; to "Saw III" (Saw III) ), all that is left is the last bloody halo in the bloody memories; "Saw IV" is a bit strong, with only a hint of rotten smell; "Saw V", except Apart from aesthetic fatigue, there may be nothing left.
When I watched "Crysaw 4" last year, I felt that my expectation for "Crysaw 5" will never be the same as that of "Crysaw 3". "Fantastically looking forward to it. Sure enough, this movie did not disappoint me; after watching this movie, I finally realized that it did not exceed my expectations at all.
Generally speaking, the sequel of a movie always expands the space and time horizontally or firmly on the basis of the previous one. As for the choice of horizontal development or firm development, it depends on the creator's mastery of the subject matter and the direction of future development. This continuation of the film series, the overall direction from the first to the third is still the traditional direction of development, whether it is forward or backward.
Hollywood's film series are always inseparable-a film is popular and the box office is selling well, so there is a sequel; when the sequel is renewed at a certain time, there will be a prequel; when the prequel and the postquel are unable to continue expanding, It will extend from the developmental context of the firm to the horizontal development. This direction of development has actually started from "Fantasy 4 A gorgeous footnote.
After watching this movie, I was thinking, what is the space it wants to express. Well, just for fear that we can't understand the fourth part of this series of movies, and I will explain to us every detail of the previous work in every detail, and talk endlessly for the background of the previous work. From the beginning of the movie to the rise of the subtitles, its plot did not get rid of the fourth movie and stopped at the end of the fourth movie.
If we say that the third film left us with an expectation for the later work because of Jigsaw’s death, because we all want to know how the fourth film will begin; and the fourth film finds an heir for Jigsaw and continues to develop. , But didn't move much forward. It can be said that where the fourth movie ends, this movie also stopped at the same point.
When I wrote "Chain Saw 4", I said that it was a film "begins at the end"; then, this movie is "ends at the beginning". Because it didn't develop half a step forward from the ending of "Chain Saw 4", I felt somewhat deceived; I just waited eagerly for another year. I was an avid fan of the first three "Chainsaw Fright", so I can't say that too much; by the fourth one, I still had expectations, but my enthusiasm dropped sharply after watching the fourth film; When it comes to the fifth part, it's just a kind of inertia.
The relevant information shows that obviously this series has yet to be developed-at least Lionsgate does not intend to stop this film series with low investment and high return. The production of "Chain Saw 6" seems to have begun. The inertial development of one one a year continues. I wonder if I still have much enthusiasm to watch when "Saw Cry 6" comes out. As far as this "Chain Saw 5" is concerned, I am even a little bit skeptical whether it can still go to the theater instead of the DVD route. From a die-hard fan to a degenerate youth who watched soap operas with no brains, this is inseparable from the film series' degeneration into a soap opera.
Since 2004, Lionsgate has launched the "Chain Saw" series of movies with a small investment and small production on average with one cycle per year, creating a box office miracle for small production movies. When I watched the first three movies, I watched them all in one breath, but I still didn't know how to finish them. Then I looked forward for a whole year and waited for the fourth one that disappointed me. The invigorating feeling when watching the first three movies was actually wiped out. Throughout the entire "Chain Saw" series of movies, perhaps the only one that can be called a classic is the first one. The subsequent sequels only deepen the infinite charm of the classic and the residual value at the box office; and further behind, The classic waste heat is also smaller, so that one is more disappointing than one.
The classic of "Chain Saw" as a thriller genre is that, in a tedious killing, it can appropriately mobilize the nervous atmosphere, and at the end of the movie, it gives us a life maybe a lifetime. Unforgettable ending. I can’t guess, I can’t figure it out, I can never touch the back of my head, I can never figure out the situation, coupled with the visual cruel abuse, when the ending is announced, the dead corpse who has been lying in the middle of the room and exuding deadly poison has turned into a control of the whole situation. And coldly watching the ultimate Boss where everyone around me is gradually dying, leaving us with an unforgettable feeling of being fooled, coupled with the brutal scenes of brutality, the desire and fear of killing at the bottom of our hearts are very successful. It was restored in the perfect shot editing and fast switching montage.
We were fooled by the movie, but we were unable to applaud. The film continues to develop. The mystery of Jigsaw is slowly lifted layer by layer in the sequel. From a god worshipped like a god, it gradually fades into a flesh and blood mortal. The mystery of this movie series is gradually being removed. dilute. The transformation from a thriller to a feature film, accompanied by bloody scenes with more and more tears, seems to be the only way out for this film series to be embarrassing and helpless.
Except for an exclamation—the classic is dead; we seem to have begun to become expressionless.
When Jigsaw is dead, how a dead person will carry out another murder plan becomes the ultimate suspense of the fourth sequel; its answer is also solved for us in the fourth sequel. Successor-from an individual act to a collective act; to the fifth sequel, if the previous four "Chainsaw Cry" is only an extension of a personal act and an inheritor, then this movie has become A school or genre.
From Jigsaw to successor to jigsaw door. The "Chain Saw" series seems to be drifting away on a one-way street. Because, in this movie, I can no longer see where this series of movies will eventually stop; there is no end, so in the end I can only drift away. This is destined to be a classic thriller movie that eventually degenerates into a one-year drama. Decline in quality and increase in quantity-this is not exactly the standard feature of the show.
Jigsaw has completed the transformation from front to behind the scenes, from a planner and implementer to a master interpreter. The film has developed to this point. From the perspective of the actors alone, it can basically be said that it can be completely eliminated. Tobin Bell. Jigsaw's personal behavior has been extended to the jigsaw door, or jigsaw teaching, Jigsaw's personal behavior directly rises to a collective behavior; Jigsaw is not just a person, but a sect master, a leader, and the founder of a perfect theory. So, what will the next movie look like? Is it as the "Deer and Ding Ji" said-Saw leader Xianfu Yongxiang, longevity and Tianqi, Wen Tao and martial arts, forever, the Saw door will last forever.
There is only one question I have to think about-the next one, do I have the courage to continue to wait and see.
