did anyone see silent hill?.....i didn't get it!...who can explain a couple of things for me?

Question

#1 why was everyone from silent hill mutated
#2 why the sacrafice of the policewoman
#3 at the end of the movie i understand that the woman and her child were in the same house as the husband at the same time and in the same room BUT were they in a different dimension or something? they never saw one another and the light was bright in his world and ashy in hers
#4 what was the point of the movie....i usually dont have trouble understanding movies but this one has escaped me....can someone please explain this to me?

Answer 1

#1. They were mutated because they were stuck in limbo between life and death and therefore not real people.

#2. They felt the policewoman was a witch they did not sacrifice her...they burned her.

#4. They DIED in the car crash in the beginning and were stuck in limbo just like the rest of the people in Silent Hill so in a sense their spirits were the ones that returned home.

#4. It was based off a of a video game but I think the point was that you should never judge people like they were with the witches because horrible things can happen

Answer 2

1) If you mean the monsters, they all used to be people (except for Pyramid Head and the Lying Figures (the "straitjacket monsters"); they were included in the movie as pure fan service). Here's what they represented:

- Gray Children (aka - "screaming, smouldering demon kids") = Alessa's classmates who used to torment her
- Creepers (aka - "cockroaches") = other followers of the cult
- Nurses = nurses who treated Alessa at the hospital
- The Janitor = Colin, the school janitor who raped Alessa in the school bathroom

Because basically all of these people somehow hurt, humiliated and/or tormented Alessa, being turned into these monsters by the Darkness created by her is their punishment.

2) Cybil (the police officer) was burned because she was aiding Rose. Christabella and the other cultists figured that since Rose's daughter Sharon looks exactly like Alessa (who they burned as a witch), then Rose must be a witch. Therefore, Cybil was burned because, in essence, she was "aiding and abetting" someone the cult considered evil, making her "evil by association."

3) Yes, Rose and Sharon (who is actually not Sharon anymore, but a "reincarnated" Alessa) are still in Alessa's alternate dimension at the end.

4) The point? I'd probably say, "There's only so many times you can kick a dog before it finally decides to bite back." In short, it was about Alessa finally getting her much deserved revenge on the people that wronged her (Christabella and the cult), and ultimately getting a new life (the "reincarnation" I mentioned earlier, in which Dark Alessa (the bad side) recombines with Sharon (the good side)) with a better mother (Rose).

You could also sum it up with Dahlia's warning to Rose, "Be careful how you fight evil." In other words, be careful that when you fight evil, you don't end up becoming evil yourself.

Hope this helps. :)

Answer 3

1. Not everyone was. Those were demons not the people. There were actual people from the town there, the ones they ran into.
2. She wasn't sacrificed, that was simply how they killed people. She was helping the "witches" and therefore she had to be killed as well to prevent the end times in their opinion.
3. They were dead, in limbo or in another dimension. You pick the wording. Notice how the car they drove home in was magically all better, yet it was also not in the driveway. They were kinda trapped between the deminsion that was silent hill and the dimension that we are in. That was the point of their world being ashy and his being light, it was to get the point across that although they brought "peace" to the town they never really left the deminsion it was in.
4. If you want to call it a point look at it from the view of the little girl. She was supposed to be killed/sacrificed simply because she was born out of wedlock. They called HER the sin. The sin was her mother's action not her as a person. You could call it a point against religious zealouts. You could see it as not really having a point. It is mostly how you want to view it.

Answer 4

Being a Silent HIll fan of the game, I was disappointed with the movie. However, I can help you out. Keep in mind, this is sci-fi-ish and supernatural.

1) They are demons and creatures from another dimension or otherworld. The town is supernatural, that is why there are demons. However it is important for you to go to this site where information will help you. http://silenthilltowncenter.prest.pl/s1.%20teorie%20ang.htm

2) The sacrifice of the policewoman was necessary for the movie plot.
3) The game exhibits a sort of tridimensionalism. Where there are 3 dimensions. That of the demons (they are not naturally from here), that of the real world, and the strange alternate dimension of Silent Hill.
4) Go again to this site. http://silenthilltowncenter.prest.pl/s1.%20teorie%20ang.htm
