I suppose I might be one of those rare individuals for whom Saw 1 is actually the "least good" installment in the series.
In my estimation, the absolute peaks of the franchise are Saw 3, Saw 5 and Saw 6.
I am eagerly anticipating the next entry. Lately, I have been revisiting the entire saga from the beginning just to refresh my memory on the details... and I find myself somewhat preoccupied with certain elements regarding the third film:
SPOILER
1) So, logically speaking, Amanda should have released Jeff's wife from that collar AFTER Jeff completed his final test (confronting the Black man who killed his son) but BEFORE he entered the room where the three of them were held. And let us assume she actually released her—meaning she didn't just shoot her with a gun—because if Jeff had walked in and found his wife alive (and relatively intact), he probably wouldn't have felt the need to kill Jigsaw, would he?
Would Jigsaw then simply volunteer the location of their daughter by default?
2) However, regardless of how things played out, Jeff ends up killing Jigsaw, and once the tape plays, he claims that Jigsaw is "responsible for the death of his son." 🙂
HOW? In what specific sense could Jigsaw possibly be held responsible for his son's passing? 🙂
3) I am attempting to grasp some sort of "higher purpose" or cohesive logic within the narrative to make everything click, but I am struggling here... furthermore, it escapes me why Jeff's wife didn't explicitly warn him not to kill Jigsaw. 🕺
And how is it even possible that Jeff doesn't spend the entire time wondering where his daughter is? (I can wrap my head around his wife's confusion—until they met, she had no idea Jeff was involved in the game and didn't know the girl's whereabouts), but even when Jigsaw tells him that his "daughter needs him now more than ever"... surely, according to any semblance of psychological reasoning, he should have asked?
