My movie blog is about SAW released in 2004. The movie starts with two people locked up in a rotting room that do not know each other with a dead body in between them. Jigsaw, the killer, wants to show people what they did wrong, so he locks them up and lets them decide between life and death, giving them life-threatening challenges. There are three main characters, Jigsaw, Adam and Doctor Lawrence. Jigsaw is not really a present character, but he is illuminated in every scene. Adam and Lawrence did not value their lives enough, so Jigsaw put them to the test. Adam's reaction and acting is the most realistic, in the sense that he is so confused, freaks out, and lets the challenges control his common sense. While on the other hand, Lawrence acted calm like he knew what was going on because he had previous knowledge from jigsaw, and he knew that there was no easy escape. The main objective of the movie is to prove that we need to live every day like it is our last because we never know what the future has in store for us. Jigsaw really makes this obvious when the audience understands that Jigsaw was never a killer. Everyone had the choice to kill themselves or live, but every achievement comes with a price. I actually disagree with the critics because the message that this movie tries send to the audience is emphasized by the use of blood, and dehumanizing scene, where as the critics just think it is a gory horror movie with no real objective. I believe that the movie Saw is worth money and time because of such a strong message that causes strong thought provoking about the way we live our lives on a day to day basis. If the audience can withstand intense scene and lots of blood, it is definitely a movie to be checked out and personally on my top ten favorites.
