Hi everyone , I am writing this post about a "Beautiful movie which I saw recently. SAW this is a horror movie, but when I saw it there was no horror as such ( Horror is when people die and turn into ghosts) . The JIGSAW KILLER is the main protagonist of Saw movie series. He is a beautiful character . He 'Kills' people, but finds distasteful to call himself a' murderer'. I totally agree with him. Murder , technically speaking is " Illegal deliberate killing of one person by another". He does not kill people but transquilises them and as they are unconscious puts them into a death trap. Its upto the people to free themselves within a given time frame or die. His punchline, "Live or Die , make your choice". He is one amongst good philosophical characters that I like. Actor Tobin Bell has done good justice to his character.
He is portrayed as a cancer patient suffering from inoperable frontal lobe tumor springing from colon cancer. In all Saw series, Jigsaw creates deadly test for his subjects which he fondly calls "GAME". He kidnaps people, whom he finds as wasting their lives and attempts to save them by administering inhumane tests. The beauty lies in the fact thatthis "Killer" has no intention of killing his subjects. The purpose of trap is just to test the will of his subjects. And how much are they willing to sacrifice to live their life again. 'Sacrifice' in this sense means losing your leg, hand, and some grave physical damage, inflicted by self upon self. Many of his subjects end up a "forced suicides"
The media christens John Kramer as 'THE JIGSAW KILLER' because of the puzzle shaped piece of flesh that he cuts from the corpse of his unsuccessful and unlucky subject. This Jigsaw stamp has philosophical meaning that- the subject was missing a vital piece of human struggle, the survival instinct. As the series progresses the blood gore and magnitude of "game" increases.
This ann vengeance stems up from a flashback as he is diagnosed with cancer and knows that he is going to die. He then stats to "Cherish Your Life" and sees how people take their life for granted. He is depressed and ends up driving his car down from cliff and survives this suicide attempt. He devotes his life to " SAVE" people with his games asking them to" Make your choice, cherish your life".
Unfortunately he is killed in SAw IV as his neck is sliced open with power cutter . But then the climax suspense builds up from Saw V... It begins with his post-mortem , and doctors find a wax coated audio cassette which is swallowed by him before dying. As usual the game begins with the mask faced Jigsaw guiding his subjects to salvatuion through his favorite media the tape recorder and VCR .."Hello guys, I wanna play a game with you.....Cherish your life. Live or Die make Your choice" And Game continues.....
Jigsaw is not some blood thirtsty murderer. He is an engineer who puts to use his ingenuity to create mechanical torture death traps and synchronises them with timers. All this blood and screams hopefully will not give this film the adjective beautiful... But I rate it amongst the best movies I have ever seen.
