Has anyone here ever seen the movie Silent Hill??

Question

If so, could you PLEASE explain the ending to me?? Did Rose and Sharon die too? I was so confused!

Answer 1

Contrary to popular belief, no, the mother and daughter are not dead. They're still trapped in Alessa's alternate dimension. Here's what happened...

There are three parts of Alessa:

- Alessa (the original body)

- Sharon (Alessa's good side)

- Dark Alessa (Alessa's evil side)

Sharon and Dark Alessa are basically physical manifestations of the two sides of Alessa - the good side and the evil side. As for how Alessa created these physical manifestations (and the alternate dimensions), it can only be assumed that she possessed some kind of supernatural power (possibly telekinetic and/or psionic powers, which would obviously lead everyone associated with the cult to call her a witch). Assuming this is true, the ending goes as follows:

1) Dark Alessa does not, in fact, take over or possess Sharon. Dark Alessa simply recombines with Sharon (Alessa's good side), creating a new and complete "reincarnated" Alessa.

2) Alessa's deal with her evil counterpart is not simply that she will help her exact her revenge, but that she will also be granted a new life with a better mother: Rose.

3) In this case, you can look at the ending in one of two ways:

a.) Alessa's plan works and she is granted a new mother in Rose. However, because Alessa was motivated by hate and revenge and let her evil side take over (as well as Rose's part in the revenge), Rose and Sharon (Alessa #2) are doomed to live in the purgatory-like realm that Dark Alessa created. Therefore, no one really wins.

or

b.) Alessa's plan works and she is granted a new mother in Rose. Now with Sharon's memories to work with after reuniting with her, Alessa can extend her sphere of influence and create a world just like the one Sharon and Rose lived in, where they can stay forever. In other words, Alessa doesn't want Rose to leave her alternate dimension; she wants to keep Rose all to herself.

Hope this helps. :)

Answer 2

Not really "dead" in the litteral sense, however. It is more like different worlds that the DaSilva family ended up in. Chris end up the orange rust world whereas Sharon and Rose resided in the white fog world. It's really disturbing and sad to see the family split up like that. Makes you be thankful of your own family. I mean you would not want them to dissapear forever. Silent Hill is a town of twisted emotions and mental sacifices. There are things in the movie and game or even down to the music that you can not shake off. It's not for the weak minded if fully understood.
