Reply #145: The saw movies

[Enoch1981]

I'm not sure why but these films affected me deeply, particularly 1 & 3. On one level, I loved the asthetics and the intelligence that went into the writing. I was also affected by the philosophical undercurrents in Jigsaw's motivation. It wasn't your typical crime film. On a personal level, I suppose it resonated with me because I spend much of my time sick in bed and wondering how much time I have left...that's why Jigsaw's explanation for his crimes fascinated me. You really do learn how to value the little things, like the glass of water that he mentioned. It was a unconventional source for such insight...and its rare to see a horror series put together so well.
