This movie wasn't what I expected at all

How would he even know that if the entire thing was a hallucination?

>what the hell it's supposed to be about

Hes hallucinating as hes dying. Its his brain trying to make sense of everything as it shuts down.

I watched this because it was suppose to be a huge influence on silent hill. I didn't think that meant they would just grab like 3 scenes, the subway and the ending.

He didn't know it. The whole spooky trip is about him making sense of it all as he's dying.

It wasn't really spooky though aside from the scene where he is strapped to a hospital bed and being wheeled through hell. I honestly thought that scene would be the entire movie.

>Hes hallucinating as hes dying. Its his brain trying to make sense of everything as it shuts down.
NO, LOL

Its often what happens. Someone sees/reads/hears something and just a part of it sets off their imagination. One part blooms into a whole other thing.

you mean they ripped off jacob's ladder when making silent hill 1-3, yes

Spooky for him at least with demons terrorizing him until he takes the god pill in the end.

Did you even watch the movie? youtube.com/watch?v=rm6yvAacy1s

Ok retard. Post your autistic reddit theory.

it's not that you're entirely off-base, it's just that you're summing it up as something pat and happening in his brain when the entire film is about a man's spiritual journey

Nigger he's literally still alive during the entire trip. The hallucination/spiritual journey ends when his brain shuts off and they declare him dead.

Honestly it's up for interpretation at that point. The movie is a biblical reference and is full of them, but it's also pretty grounded in reality. It could either be spiritual stuff or the dudes brain freaking out in the last few minutes of his life, which is something that happens a lot. No way to know without the director or writer explicitly saying.

no, there you are definitely wrong. and you can listen to the film's director commentary and read the screenplay to confirm that. you don't know how to watch this movie

>No way to know without the director or writer explicitly saying.
yes there is. it's not a difficult film to understand. but it helps if you're actually paying attention

Nice meme. Do you mindlessly say that whenever you have nothing to back up what you're saying? If the entire thing is a hallucination it doesn't matter what the fuck you're paying attention to. That retroactively throws everything up in the air.

AHHHHHHHHH SOME GUY SHAKING SAVE ME DANNY AIELLO

you can watch the film's commentary with lyne and find what the screenwriter has to say, as well as read the screenplay if you want to know what they are explicitly saying. i did not say the film is a hallucination. you're arguing with someone else on that point

Nah this is autist head canon. The whole ending sequence directly correlates with his brain still functioning down to the second of death. Same reason some people report seeing all kinds of shit when they are on the brink of death but their brain hasn't been completely deprived of oxygen yet. Fact is his brain needed to still be in tact to process the "trip".

If you have to refer to outside sources said after the fact it's not explicit. If the commentary says it's purgatory or something then it's settled, but without that it could go either way. Paying attention to the movie doesn't change anything because either way retroactively changes everything.
