Silence is golden … but would you be in Silent Hill …..

Imagine standing on the side of the road and hoping to catch a flake in your hand but you realize it is not snow flake its ashes. 40 years after the town was burnt it is still full of smoke and ashes. That is the start of the silent hill. Well not exactly the start but from where the main story starts. The small town is being haunted by a small girl, she controls everything. If you are in silent hill, during the day it is your day but when it is dark its Alyssa’s world you are in.

She only needs to take revenge from the people that put her in a bed by burning her alive, but she survived. Her hatred for the people of Silent Hill grew so much that she is blinded by it. Her hatred was fueled by an evil little girl. There are so many things that are unexplained in the movie that people might find it hard to grasp. Like people are thinking that she is dead, but do u smell dead people. Yuck! I see dead people is good but smell? It’s would be more like smelling the evil Ash character from Evil Dead 3 – Army of Darkness. Eeks!

Now according to some readings found on the internet I have found out that some of my questions were answered. Like how come Rose is in the same place as her husband and still they do not see each other but he smells her perfume. People would say that she is dead. But how do you explain the bodies not found. Every dead peoples body are found. Well in extreme cases like having the legendry “Predator” in the forest then it is a different case. Now according to the readings there are supposedly three dimensions to this story. First the real world (where her husband is), second being the silent hill with ashes and mist and the third being Alyssa’s world, stained in blood and full of rust.

People have their own perception as to what the story was. One of my friends said that he had watched the movie three times and says that Rose had died in the end of the movie where she is stabbed. Now if that is the case how come the husband didn’t see her in the movie (prior to the stabbing) while both were in the school scene? Apart from that there are so many views that people have. It is also said in one write-up that the little (evil) girl is Satan in disguise which is true if you watch and listen to the movie closely ( "I go by many names").

My View: The Satan wanted the souls in hell for him so he helped Alyssa to try and kill the people one by one. He was able to give her powers beyond belief (love the barb wire scene in the end). In return he wanted the misplaced souls. The people in Silent Hill were trapped in the second dimension (3rd paragraph) where everyday before dark they are given a warning that the darkness is approaching (air raid siren). After darkness Silent Hill changes to Alyssa’s world and there is havoc. Satan had brought Sharon into Silent Hill because Alyssa looked exactly like Sharon when she was burnt. (Burning was because the people thought that Alyssa was a witch and in those times witches were burnt alive.)

Now with Sharon some where is Silent Hill, Rose wanted to get her back and she was prepared to go to any length (beheaded nurses and the red pyramid) even though she didn’t battle the red pyramid. As always Satan couldn’t get into the church where the people of Silent Hill took shelter at night. Satan needed a transport and Rose is the only one in sight. So he uses her as transport and makes the way for Alyssa to take revenge. After the finale the second dimension is still present because Alyssa’s mother is still alive and so is Rose and her daughter Sharon. The third dimension is not shown may be it is still there may be it is gone who kn

All in all I think Silent Hill is a good movie and if I were to give it stars I would give it 9 out of 10 for the suspense and horrific scenes and 6 out of 10 for acting. I guess that sums up my perspective of the movie. Now all your comments will be heard but don’t wait for my reply because I m not bothered.

I cut him up in so many pieces but i couldnt get the smile of his face .....

"I took his weapon away both of it" - Thats what Hartigan said when he disarmed the yellow bastard.

Sin City ... makes people wonder what if there was a place like that which consisting of people so ruthless and insane. Take Marv for example, Goldie slept with him once (after which she was killed) and he goes on a killing rampage just the find the main killer. Who is he? By now you should have seen the movie, if you haven't then go see it before you read this post.

The movie consisted of four colors: yellow for yellow bastard, red for the lipstick colors and the lady in red, and the rest was black and white. The movie had a wide array of stars all of whom have a name in Hollywood. Take Clive for example, he has been in so many movies but very few people choose to remember an actor like him. The same goes for Benincio Del Toro. Have you heard of him. I didn’t think so. Benincio made his name as the insane brother of Sanchez in the James Bond movie “The Living Daylights”. After his first appearance he was only given roles that made him look insane.

The first character is Marv, played by Mickey Rourke
“ Creator, Frank Miller describes the creation of Marv as a juxtaposition of his two biggest influences: film noir and medieval stories. The result was the idea for a character he called "Conan in a trench coat." Despite his presumed Catholic upbringing, Marv is a violent, borderline psychotic who uses his tremendous strength and fighting skills to bring down those who challenge him or break his personal code of ethics.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marv - Link for more story on Marv from Wikipedia

Like him there are more characters all of whom possess different traits that makes them standout in the movie. All of whom can be found here.

According to individual reviews (my friends reviews) Sin City was the best movie they had seen. It was the closest a movie maker can get to making a live-action movie from comic books. There are even comparison shots on the internet that show the closeness between the movies.


Here is an article found on the internet about the sequel tell me what you think about it?

**** Sin City 2 will be released in 2007, although an exact release date has yet to be confirmed. It was revealed by director Robert Rodríguez that the story for film to be based around would be A Dame to Kill For as well as a new story to be written by Frank Miller. The new story centers around the character of Nancy Callahan (Jessica Alba). It will weave in and out of A Dame to Kill For and will show "A whole new side of Nancy", according to Miller. No other stories have been confirmed at this time, but Frank Miller has also expressed interest in including other Sin City short stories in the film, possibly including "Blue Eyes." *****
