Frequently asked about Saw
Common questions people search for, with answers written by us at MoviesPack.
Who is the Jigsaw Killer and what is his motivation?
Jigsaw is John Kramer, a terminally ill cancer patient who, after surviving a suicide attempt, becomes obsessed with making others appreciate their lives. He doesn't directly kill his victims; instead, he traps people he believes are wasting their lives in elaborate 'games' where they must inflict pain on themselves or others to survive. In his view, those who escape have been reborn with a new appreciation for living.
What is the twist ending of Saw?
The 'dead body' lying in the middle of the bathroom the entire film is actually Jigsaw himself, who has been alive and watching Adam and Dr. Gordon the whole time. After Gordon saws off his own foot and crawls away, John rises from the floor, locks Adam inside, and walks out, revealing he was hiding in plain sight as the supposed corpse.
Why did Jigsaw choose Dr. Lawrence Gordon as a victim?
Gordon was the oncologist who diagnosed John Kramer's inoperable brain tumor, and John found him to be cold, detached, and emotionally absent from his own family despite his professional success. Jigsaw wanted to force Gordon to confront how little he valued his life and loved ones by threatening to kill his wife and daughter unless he murdered Adam by 6:00.
Why was Adam targeted by Jigsaw?
Adam was a voyeuristic photographer who had been hired by Detective Tapp to spy on Dr. Gordon, and Jigsaw considered him someone who watched life through a lens rather than living it. He was placed in the bathroom both as Gordon's test subject and as part of Jigsaw's punishment for being a peeping tom who profited from invading others' privacy.
What happens to Adam at the end of the film?
After Gordon saws off his foot and leaves promising to bring help, Adam is left chained in the bathroom with Zep's corpse. Jigsaw reveals himself, tells Adam that the key to his shackle was in the bathtub that drained at the start of the film, and turns off the lights as he closes the door, leaving Adam trapped and screaming in the dark.
