Silent Hill is a movie based on a game that I saw more than a decade ago and think that's the way it is. It may be that I was young at the time and only remembered the horror plot inside. At that time, it was thought that the heroine may have encountered a ghost hitting the wall, so she fell into layers of difficulties.
Now relive it and savor it to find out. The biggest feature of this film is not fear, but there are many symbols and metaphors of religion, morality, philosophy, and crime. It's too late to think about these things when watching movies, so it's too normal for many people to say they "can't understand."
Let's recall the movie "Silent Hill", which is divided into three levels in the world of Silent Hill.
The first layer - the real world: is the heroine Rose and her husband, daughter Sharon live in the world, this Silent Hill is an abandoned town, in the movie such a real world mostly appears during the day.
The second layer of the world - the surface world: the misty world that the heroine saw after coming to Silent Hill, where the sky could not be seen clearly, as if everything was covered with dust, and it looked like a less real world.
This world was created by Aresa, who turned into a demon, and many people are trapped in this world and cannot get out.
The third layer of the world - the inner world: this world shows the most terrifying side of Jingling. For example, there is a dark patch underground, which burns the fire of the devil, and various ghosts appear, and this world was created by Aresa.
Sharon's relationship with Aresa, Sharon and Aresa are the same person. Sharon is the good side of Aresa, and Aresa is the evil and demonic side.
Aresa was an illegitimate daughter and was often discriminated against by her peers. She escapes into the toilet to avoid her partner's chase, but is raped by the cleaner.
This matter was soon known to the townspeople, and the townspeople felt that Aresa was unclean, and Aresa's background made Aresa's situation worse.
The churches believed that Aresa was evil, and at the instigation of Bishop Bella, the townspeople decided to burn Aresa to death. Unexpectedly, the fire collapsed, a fire broke out, and the people were scared away.
Aresa was rescued in the hospital, the whole person was scorched black than dead, she no longer had the cute appearance of a girl. Aresa hated everyone in the town, she was blackened! The dark and evil Aresa was born, and the other side of Aresa became Sharon, who was sent to an orphanage and adopted by Rose.
The evil Aresa turns into an evil ghost and takes a frantic revenge on the small town of Silent Hill, where Aresa creates a world where time stands still.
Thirty years after thirty years, the people in Silent Hill are still the same, and this group of people will not grow old and will not be able to escape Silent Hill. Aresa wants them to experience the pain they once had again and again, to make them live worse than to die, to be tortured forever.
Rose, because her daughter is always sleepwalking, mistakenly enters Silent Hill in search of a solution. After entering the inner world, darkness struck, the walls fell off, and monsters appeared, of course, these monsters did not appear inexplicably.
For example, the strange man who was tied to the cross by a wire, only a pair of eyes leaked out, this was a believer, who once tied Aresa to the cross.
The little monster that appeared next was as tall as a child. There seemed to be some fire in the chest cavity, and the body was like coke, and this group of classmates was the group of classmates who bullied Aresa.
In the film, Rose finds a corpse with no lower body during her escape, which is colin, the cleaner who raped Aretha. The next disgusting scene is a human-faced bug crawling out of the corpse's lower body, you know what it means.
When Rose entered the Inner World, she also met a group of nurses, who were the same nurses that Aresa had seen in the hospital.
At the same time, Rose encounters a monster without facial features, which represents the pain after Aresa is burned, and she is bound and difficult to break free.
The Triangle Head and the Beetle are the embodiments of Aresa, and she takes revenge on this group of people who seek justice in the name of the Believers. Aresa frantically retaliated against the town, and half of the townspeople went missing or died.
The other half survived, but never escaped the town. They can only seek refuge in the church in the town, and Bishop Bella wants to kill Aresa completely, so he kidnaps Rose's daughter and wants to burn Sharon. At this time, maternal love is great, and Rose finds Aresa in order to save her daughter.
Unexpectedly, Aresa possessed Rose and finally entered the church, and Sharon was rescued. Aresa killed everyone in the church in a brutal way.
Rose finally takes her daughter home, the house is empty, everything is gray, Sharon's expression is very playful...
In the end, neither the heroine nor Sharon can return home, and the two are still in the table world created by Aresa, and the movie ends, an open-ended ending.
In the movie, the mother's love is touching, and the mother Rose comes to Silent Hill for the sake of her adopted daughter Sharon, regardless of her personal safety. Despite the difficulties, I did not want to retreat, this is a mother's responsibility and responsibility, which is really touching.
Secondly, the film reflects the transformation and struggle of justice and evil, and the church should be pure and bright, but it does the evil thing of burning the girl with all its conscience, and insists that this is justice.
Aresa's justice for her revenge seems reasonable. But she killed many innocent people, and at this time, Aresa also became the evil party.
The two sides are constantly reincarnated and struggling, and in the midst of pain, they are unable to extricate themselves, leaving only hatred.
There may be many other metaphors in the movie or game, please leave a comment to add.
I have to say that the film "Silent Hill" is a very successful adaptation, and it is a very good high-scoring thriller horror film. The soundtrack and atmosphere are created just right, and it is very shocking to watch. Still impressed by a plot or monster years later, thriller horror fans must watch it!
