Chapter 857 (1/2)

What many people didn't expect was that the story of silent mountain aroused the enthusiasm of many psychology and mystery lovers.

Moreover, all the players who are familiar with psychology have a very high evaluation of the game after they pass silent mountain or video pass silent mountain.

The reason for this is that the horror of silent mountain is based on the psychological level. Since all monsters are transformed by the dark side of James's subconscious, they must have their own meanings.

The ugly appearance of these monsters is all symbolic. Players who have studied psychology have really analyzed their symbolic meanings through the appearance of these monsters.

The fog in silent mountain means that James can't recognize his real heart, while the various cages and gates in the sealed road mean that James can't escape from his inner sin.

Before meeting fat Eddie, James once met a corpse, in front of which was a black-and-white television full of snow. If you look carefully, the dead body is James' own appearance. This arrangement indicates the final death of James' mind. However, whether James will die or not depends on whether he can come out of the shadow of his own mind.

Maria, an important role in the game, is actually James's ”perfect woman”. She's an exposed nightclub dancer, always giving all sorts of hints and suggestions to James, but constantly being killed by the triangle head. That horrible triangle head is actually the symbol of self destruction and tyranny in James' heart. The triangle head repeatedly kills other monsters and Maria, which shows the extreme contradiction and chaos in James' inner world.

Different players have different opinions about Angela, Eddie and Laura.

Some people think that they are the reflection of James' suicidal tendency, murderous tendency and innocence. Others think that they are the three real people who come to the silent mountain. Like James, Angela and eddy bear the scars of their hearts and finally go to self destruction in the silent mountain. But Laura's heart is pure, so in her eyes, the silent mountain is just a flat A quiet and harmless town.

In the end, if James chooses to leave with Maria, it means that he succumbs to his inner desire and keeps himself in the silent mountain forever; if he leaves with Laura, it means that he finally gets out of the shadow and starts a new life.

And monsters in the game have their own meanings.

The triangle is a reflection of James' tyranny and guilt, which represents James' trial and punishment for his crimes. Because James felt powerless about his crime, he couldn't hurt the triangle head, he could only escape helplessly, watching it kill Maria again and again, repeating the crime of James killing his wife. In the end, James understood the truth and decided to face his crimes, and finally defeated the triangle and killed them.

The patient monster wrapped in flesh and skin (”Pluto brother”) represents James's hatred of his wife's disease, and the four legged monster represents the result of James's sexual fantasy

……

Of course, everyone has a different interpretation of silent mountain.

Because the story itself is full of metaphors and hints. Since it is a subconscious world, it must be chaotic and illogical.

As for the characters and ending in silent mountain, different players can interpret them according to their own wishes. Just like many films with plot and suspense, directors often leave blank intentionally to let the audience argue endlessly.

For example, in ”Inception” of Chen Mo's previous life, does the last top stop or not? No one can say clearly, because the director intentionally cut off the picture in that frame, leaving a permanent suspense.

Whether it's a game or a movie, for the creators of the story, they don't want to create a clear and definite ending.

What's the point of officially prescribing a truth? It will only make the audience and players lose their imagination.

On the contrary, it is this deliberate blank that makes everyone have an end of their own in their mind. In the process of continuous reasoning and analysis of details, slowly approaching the truth they have identified will make everyone experience different feelings.
