One of them shouts, “It’s grain!”

It is meant to be experienced outside the normal bounds of chronology.
It is, in short, a gift.
The Saw machine splits open Hallorans head like its slices of pie and Logan walks away.
Jigsawis like Shakespeares best plays it contains a textual richness that exists beyond the work itself.
It deserves to be appreciated through analysis of the questions it raises.
Questions like:
How much time does Jigsaw spend on each murder trap?
How does that technology even work?
How does the machine know when the blood was voluntary or if its pre-death blood splattering on the floor?
How does it know the difference between each of the victims blood?
So why wouldnt he have unlocked his helmet earlier?
Its choreographed with more attention to detail than a military wedding.
He must have included endless contingency plans and alternate endings.
Kudos to Jigsaw on pulling off an incredibly elaborate murder plan and inventing some great technology.
What is the cleanup like?
Do we think Jigsaw reuses murder plans?
I have to assume so because he doesnt know that an audience is watching them.
How does he track these people down?
How does he know about them?
How did Jigsaw a.)
hear about a teenage car crash and think, I bet there was negligence involved and then b.)
This is information that only an omnipotent narrator could possibly know.
Why involuntary manslaughter with moral grey code?
Those are crimes for which a court would probably give them like, 5-20 years.
There have to be people more deserving of being cut apart by modified medieval torture devices.
What movie did Ryan think he was in?
He is the only one who realizes this is a comedy.
which is an incredibly takeaway after you were just being dragged by chains towards moving saws.
Why did Jigsaw target Logan?
And why save him?
So Logan spent 8 years married to his wife secretly working nights with Jigsaw?
Logan became Jigsaws apprentice 10 years ago, right after Jigsaw rescued him from the murder.
We see them working side-by-side, learning all about mechanical engineering and working on their welding skills.
How does Logan possibly have time to do his entire revenge plan?
He must have so much upper body strength.
And, throughout all of this, Logan is a single father!
Silicon Valley billionaires need to write books to sell at airports about how to maintain this mans productivity schedule.
Why meticulously recreate a Jigsaw murder trap that no one ever saw or even knew about?
Its established that those 10 years ago murders were never uncovered.
So why would Logan go through the trouble of echoing them exactly?
But of course, that commitment to details in his pranks is why hes the professional here.
Is this entire film actually a parable about sexual harassment in the workplace?
Corrupt Detecitve Halloran goes over to the goth lab assistant and goes, Whats your story sweetheart?
One of those kinky types, like a little pain?
which is incredibly inappropriate, especially at her workplace.
And at the end of the movie, he gets his head split open like hes a Demogorgon.
So, sexual predators in Hollywood and beyond … beware, I guess?
Does Jigsaw think he invented the tricycle?
This is just an old man with cancer drawing a red tricycle.
Why did he need to draw it?
Couldnt he just buy a tricycle?
Thats not like a specialty item that he needed to design.
This films layers continue to endlessly reveal themselves.
