Saw II (2005)

SPOILER!!!

Yesterday I watched the movie Saw II. This was the second time, and I still really like it. I am not a big fan of horror movies, but this piece is great. Let’s start with the ending! I just love the soundtrack from Mudvayne.

Really fits to the movie. And metal is always good to listen to;)

So Jigsaw is the evil guy in this movie. He kidnaps people and force them to play his game in order to survive. In this episode it turns out that he has cancer and he has wanted to end his life but failed. It is like he would like to open the others’ eyes to live life fully, not to waste it. Well, he uses a horrible method to convey his message.

A movie and a series came to my mind – Seven and Death Note. Sin is bad. But we shouldn’t forget that vigilantism is neither better. It makes the one who commits it also a criminal.

On the other hand, I find the idea brilliant. A lot of us are living their lives without appreciation, without a will to achieve something. We are just wasting our time. Sometimes I raise awareness of it and try to change. But change is fucking hard. And in our lives (luckily) we won’t meet Jigsaw. So it is our responsibility to make a change.

You know the little boy was interesting for me in the movie. I mean he shouldn’t have been there, he was an almost innocent child. How could Jigsaw know that the boy will survive? Was it so necessary for the father’s game?

The other exciting character for me was Amanda. She has already survived one game with Jigsaw. He wanted to commit suicide that is the reason for her to be there. Or that is what we think… Aaaaaaaaand she helps Jigsaw. Wow. I wondered what is the reason behind that cooperation? Did she feel like he got a second chance from life because of Jigsaw? Did she feel like she owes to him? I have no idea. It is so spine-chilling.

All in all I really enjoyed this movie.
