I just finished watching saw1, 2, and 3. At first, I heard that it was scary and disgusting, but it really looked more like a religious propaganda film. The jigsaw acts as a judge of human morality, and the jigsaw uses its own The will of the trial test those "bad people" who do not meet the moral requirements, that is exactly the scum he thinks, and should be eliminated according to the theory of evolution. Therefore, the jigsaw acts as the master of nature again, and dominates the fate of the most advanced creature on the earth-human beings. The three films leave us with three propositions:
I: Are you grateful for your life?
II: Are you willing to play by the rules of the game?
III: Are you willing to forgive the person who hurt you a lot?
If you feel that you have to live, you have to do whatever you can and suffer great pain when necessary, and when you have been tested, you have the ability to make another person survive, you have to show your kindness, Otherwise the previous test is zero. The love of life is the love of all life. The "love of life" shown in the SAW series is extreme. I think the clever thing about it is that it doesn't tell you that you should face life positively, nor does it make you not afraid to face death, nor does it make you see the future It just depicts some ugly ways to die, but no matter how you die, it's ultimately a choice.
Of course, there is a fatal error in the logic of the jigsaw, that is, people's rights are innate, and everyone is equal, not to mention how can a person's right to live be decided by another judge and master? What's more, the progress of human beings is only possible because of differences and defects. The logic of the world is not binary, but dialectical and contradictory.
