Where is the plot?


And what the hell is Silent Hill?? Is it another dimension? Is it the afterlife? What the hell is it?

reply

Yes. There are three dimensions Day/Fog/Dark and they function as Earth/Purgatory/Inferno.

reply

It's just not understandable.

reply

why not? Does it help if we say the 3 dimensions symbolize Heaven/Purgatory/Hell?

reply

Yes it does, I didn't even think about that, I've been reading the game stories for clues and nothing makes sense really, also, what would be heaven? nothing in there seems heavenly.,

reply

The regular day world 'symbolizes' [I hate that] Edenic perfection in the scene where Rose and Sharon are lounging in the field.

The dimensional scene was at the school where Rose and Sean Bean are in the same location but cannot see each other. That's the primary illustration that Silent Hill exists in a different world. Later, the drive home at the end reveals that it not just the town but an entire universe where Dark Alessa resides.

The characters enter grey Silent Hill world then they never leave and don't have a real life. So I say that makes it the afterlife of the film. But the "official canon" says it is merely an alternate dimension that happens to symbolize the afterlife.

reply

That doesn't make sense because that scene was outside of Silent Hill.

reply

Which scene?

reply

when they are in the three.

reply

Are you asking about the end when everybody is back at home?

reply

No, you said that heaven was reality? are you talking about when they were in the tree at the beginning?

reply

Oh yeah. Rose&Sharon are leaning against the tree and the peaceful animal pics we have an perfect image of Eden. No they aren't in an alternate heavenly reality. The "Day World" is the normal living world.

reply

and then what is heaven?

reply

Heaven is the return to innocence and living in a pure Edenic state.

reply

and when is that manifested in silent hill?

reply

Face it, you don't get it, & you never will... Go back to talking about Madonna & Disney movies like you have done so well in the past.

Epic cash grabs made for the lowest common denominator, the rest need not apply...

reply

There is nothing to get, this is just a poorly made film, nothing more.

reply

I don't, 1SH is an extreme mixture of good and bad.

reply

Only in that brief scene under the tree. Silent Hill for the most part follows the rules of a Greek Tragedy, the "high" is only in the first act to set up the fall.

reply

Silent Hill is a regular town that contains an alternate reality created and controlled by a powerful telepath. The dark world and foggy world are two halves of the alternate reality, and the real world is just that - the normal world.

It is the way of men to make monsters; and it is the nature of monsters to destroy their makers.

reply

and where does sharon fit in?

reply

Sharon is a manifestation of the good side of the telepath.
