Do you see what I Saw...
It's easy to take for granted the things we have. The morning air, a sunset, the feel of a womans skin. I decided to head to the movies tonight to watch Saw IV. It's easy to lose sight of whats important, whats not important, and what's really being said. Alot of people, and I know I'm guilty of it as well, don't take the time to just look around and notice whats going on right in front of them. Now, it was a movie and I realize how important the realization that it is indeed fiction, but even fiction has its basis in reality. So, if something catastrophic happened, like the loss of child during the later stages of pregnance, are so impacting as to change the entire "mode"of a human being, is that possible? Things do happen in life that impact us so much as to change the course of a persons life and with that one ripple, alter the lives of many others. I think that's what made this movie so poingnant. It's so complex that it's incredibly simple. The connection of characters instead of a whole new movie makes it easy to keep the tradition going, like Friday the 13th, or the Halloween series. The writer turned the script into a maze of intertwined subplots but eventually connected to one main person, Jigsaw. The name alone will be synonymous with creatures like Jason, Freddy, and Micheal Myers.Besides my intense fear of heights, I have an intense fear of confined spaces. So if I fall out of a plane in a box, I'm pretty fucked on all accounts. But just the fact that someone would go to the extent to use that fear against you, use what terrorizes you the most, with the ultimate goal of showing you the error of your ways is even more disturbing. Just makes you think, keep an eye open...
