I'm not here to discuss horror movies in general. I'm talking about this specific film series. For those not familiar, Saw is a movie about a serial killer, be he does not kill. Instead, he puts people in a situation in which they must fight for their lives. He knows their secrets and their weaknesses and he plays on them. A drug addict was put in an midevil torture device. She had one minute to get the key out of the body of the dead man in front of her. She had a knife and a body and a thing attached to her head which would rip her face apart if she didn't find the key and unlock the device in time. At the last second, the man, supposedly dead, opened his eyes. She still stuck the knife into him and got the key to save her life. Another man was locked in a room with poison gas. He had to manuver his way through broken glass to get to the opened door before it closed forever and he died from the gas or the bleeding from the glass. Another was put in a room, also poisoned, and he was doused in gasoline. He had only a candle and numbers on the wall and a safe in front of him. he had to find the numbers on the wall to open the safe in order to find the anti poison in the safe. Remember, he had a candle and his body was covered in gas. The one that bothered me the most was a man who had an Iron Maiden attached to his head. He had 2 minutes to find the key before it would pound shut on his head. He was told,, by video that the key was surgically implanted behind his eye. He was given a mirror, a scalpel and 2 minutes. he died. I think I would too. So, my question is, how far would you go to save your life?? Could you cut your eye out? I don't know if I could. Could you kill another man?? i think I could. Could you cut off your foot with a saw to save your spouse and daughter? I know I could. What about you? What could you do? What would you do? Very intersted

I personally have never been in a situation as in the SAW series( and hopefully never will be) but i think there isn't a limit on what people would do to save their own lives. It's kinda like ripping off a band-aid except that band-aid is your arm and youll die if you don't.. Hehe?

So, could you cut out yourr eye to save your life? Or would you saw off your foot to save a loved one?

I love the Saw movies. But I am so chicken about some of the scenes. In some scenes, I cant sit and watch them because they are so gory. I always think to myself what I would do in those situations. When you think logically about it, when you are in a state of fear and your body is shaking, and you can't think straight, you can't save yourself, let alone anyone else.

I honestly don't think i could make it through any of those saw situations. Im very sensative about self-damage. I dont think i could pinch myself hard enough to say ouch. I would probably make it through the one where i kill another person to live but i feel so selfish saying that and i couldnt live without regretting that so i would have to say i would be in deep doo doo.

OK, so what if you were chained to a fense and a loved one were in danger; say a flood and the person you loved was chained to the floor. You have 1 hour to cut your foot off, find the key and save the life of someone you love. Would you?

some scenes in that`movie are really gory and disgusting .someone even disgorged when they watched that. however ,the director must be good at psychology ,he know how to horrify his spectator

I agree. But the question is, how far would you go to save your life? Could you cut off your foot? Could you cut out your eye? Could you kill a man? How far could you go????

I like SAW movies. I talked about what you've asked me before with my GF and discussed about that too. How far you would go to safe your life. Like, how much you would like to sacrifice to have your second chance to live.... The JIGSAW usually put someone in a test where one should let go something that they misused

Yes, but what they had misused was up to his discretion. I'm not a saint. I've lived an animated life, so to speak. He could find something for me. My life now, is OK. But I won't say that I am perfect. We are all subject to Jigsaw's scrutiny.

i'm not sure how far i could go.cut my eye out?not sure either probably if i wanted to live bad enough!kill another man?i would if i had to eapecially if it was me or him!cut my foot off?i would do anything to save my family but that one would be hard to do! on the other hand i would do about anything it took to survive if i was capable, but most of the task he sets for them on the movie or simple if they weren't so stubborn.

I don't know. Cutting a foot off with a saw or cutting an eye out are not simple tasks. And then they have the time limit. I think I would fight for my life. But the cost would be soooo great.
