"These people have no respect for the lives that they're destroying." (Those people who do not respect life do not deserve to live at all) - "Jigsaw" in "Saw".
If you want to know why "Jigsaw" wants to kill people, you must first know how the old man became "Jigsaw":
Before John became "Jigsaw", it was A genius who is proficient in mechanics, medicine and other fields, has a sweet marriage and a stable career. But fate seemed to have played a joke on him. John was diagnosed with cancer and had only a few days to live. His wife was persecuted and indirectly caused a miscarriage, and he was constantly kicked by the insurance company. So the old man planned to drive to commit suicide and end his life. As a result, there was a small accident on the way to suicide. When John was trapped, he decided to sacrifice one of his legs to save himself. When he successfully saved himself, he seemed to be reborn and decided to change his appearance and "replace God" to punish those who have good health but do not live a good life.
The most mysterious villain in the history of American movies - "Jigsaw" was born.
"Once you see death up close, then you know what the value of life is." (Only when you experience life and death, you will know the true value of life)
In fact, from the beginning of the movie "Saw 1" to "Saw 8", these mechanisms designed by the old man "Jigsaw" to kill people can be cracked, as long as they are willing to make corresponding sacrifices. It was precisely because Jigsaw had to make important sacrifices to survive when he was trapped in the car. So for everyone Jigsaw killed, if he had been willing to sacrifice part of his body, he could have survived. Some of those who survived were grateful to Mr. Jigsaw, and some even became Mr. Jigsaw's disciples!
But not every disciple implemented Jigsaw's philosophy. When Jigsaw handed his disciples the punishment, some of them sacrificed part of their bodies but still died. When this happens, Mr. Jigsaw usually cleans up the door himself. If you want to be the successor of "Jigsaw", you must also experience the pain of the old man, and be reborn after the pain...
From "Chainsaw 1" to "Chainsaw" 8", the old man's purpose of killing so many people has never changed - to cherish and respect his own life and live well.
