Movie Trailers: Silent Hill: Revelation 3D - Nurse Scene

(oh and the worst of all PYRAMID HEAD showing up even though neither character had any emotional problems stemming from held back aggression goddamnit)

So, what you are saying is that you are ignoring the fact that the "Silent Hill" in the first movie was the creation of Alessa, who I am sure has plenty of pent up and held-back aggression among the rest of her problems?
And the fact that several silent hill game stories have revolved around cults?
Or not to mention that there is a "fatherless baby" (though there is technically 2) in the original Silent Hill, who goes on to be in Silent Hill 3?

Not saying that the movie wasn't bad. The father character was force-fed down the directors throat because the moneybags thought that the movie wouldn't be good unless you had some main men in there too. Yet for some of its issues, I overlooked them because I felt the atmosphere was its biggest point, and in the end made me forget about some of the dumber or silly things in the movie.

And like others have said, the scene itself just feels awkward because there is zero context, zero idea of who and what and why its all really happening, and just the fact that its a scene ripped out and being tossed around like a trailer when its clearly not.

I agree with most of this, except the fact that the "Father character" is the original player character and the mother character had no real presence in the game. So technically the strong female presence was the one that was forced into the story and not the other way around.

That being said, did I love this scene? No.But your right, without context its hard to really judge what I'm seeing; and although there were elements of this that felt cheesy there were parts that I did find interesting.So I'll prob give it a shot though I'm hoping there's a non 3D version cause I'm not so huge on 3D.

Oh?
Oh!
Oh. -_-

Maybe in other scenes he at least has glasses on or something...?

Funny, that was exactly my reaction when I first heard.

Yes, I remember that. Actually, I always wondered what he saw it (and the monsters) as. Was there any more info on that which I may have missed in the game?
See, he talks about the monsters, but he never gives an indication what they look like to him (animals, humans, angels, what). Additionally, he claims he was just joking and messing with her. Huh.

I'm going to spoiler this simply because it might spoil the film for those who haven't played the game... if the film's anything like the game of course!

Spoiler

After Vincent's comment in the game I always assumed that Heather saw the creatures as horrible monsters and Vincent simply saw them as normal people. Heather's whole bag in Silent Hill 3 is revenge for the Death of her Father, as caused by Claudia Wolf, and I figured that the monsters were Claudia's followers, all twisted and driven mad by her crazy cult, which gives Heather a reason to kill them in anger under the guise of self defence? Perhaps.

Vincent is in fact part of the order as well but he has very different views, constantly challenging Claudia's own beliefs. Near the end of the game, when Heather confronts Claudia, Vincent appears and berates Claudia for her taste (and subsequently God's taste as well) in decor, referring to the otherworld church they are standing in. This means he must be able to see some of the horror and clearly disapproves with her particular interpretation. Which leads me to believe that, although Vincent is narcissistic, he's about the most normal person in the whole series!

As a side note, Leonard Wolf, Claudia's father, was also a complete nut job and fanatical follower of the cult. He was turned into a monster that Heather was forced to kill as well. Plus, we all know from Silent Hill 2 that different people see different versions of the otherworld depending on their own personal demons. Angela in SH2 for instance was always surrounded by an inferno of flames and Laura, who had no particular trauma in her young life, saw just an abandoned town.

This is what I could gather from the game at any rate, I think a lot of it's open for interpretation.

Oh and the Vincent in the film? Yeah, he's billed as being Heather's boyfriend *Cue fanboy rage*

When the script was finished, a studio memo was sent to Gans and Avary that voiced concerns about the lack of a male presence in the film, since the original story contained a nearly all female cast. Gans and Avary added Christopher's character (named after Gans) and subplot and the script was approved

The father in the movie isn't the main character of the game. He was added in after the script was finalized. Which is why Sean Bean's character is largely minor in importance besides some small fleshing out of the story. Studio pressure led to him being in more than just the beginning of the film.
It was stated elsewhere as well, that they felt it would work better to make the "Harry Mason" character female for the movie, because of the rather strong maternal instincts depicted.

Rumors are though that, for Revelation, Sean's character changes his name and falls into line with the games at silent hill 3, which of course was the sequel to 1.

And I wouldn't worry about the 3D for the most part. Theaters should have both versions showing, since that is at least the norm for where I live.

I Never stated that the father "in the movie" was the same father, I'm stating that the original game had Harry Mason,a male character, as the lead role not the mother.And changing Harry into a mom due to the "maternal instincts" seems cheap. A father can't have the love and drive to seek out his missing daughter?That sounds just as equally as bad as "The father character was force-fed down the directors throat because the moneybags thought that the movie wouldn't be good unless you had some main men in there too."

I keep seeing posts above regarding the nurses as being "sexy." Really? So your idea of sexy is anything with some semblance of mammary glands and legs? I don't see much about them as sexy. When I think of "sexy" it starts with a great face and goes on to other factors. Without the face--it might as well be a mannequin or a blow-up doll...oh, now I see. Some of you need to get out more.
