Blogpost 6 : Silent Hill on Parallel Universe

When the kids and teenagers this days were born, it was already the computer generation where people are dependent on machines. I was part of that generation. In the past, I always like to play games in computers, consoles, portable consoles, etc. During that time, the most recognized and anticipated games were Resident Evil, Clock Tower, Pokemon, Silent Hill, etc. All of this games were memorable to me because I was left curious on how this games can actually be true in primary reality or is it possible that this games can be true. The game that I found that is the most possible to be true in real life is Silent Hill with the concept of Parallel Universe. Silent Hill has movies too.

The movie Silent Hill is all about a woman in search of her daughter, within a strange, isolated, deserted town called Silent Hill, based on the video game. In the movie, you can involuntarily go to another dimension meaning that if you don't want to go you are forced to. In the game, you can voluntarily go to another dimension just by touching mirrors based on my experience on playing it. For the people who played or watched Silent Hill, they just mostly play the game for the fun and thrill of it but I was left wondered on how they can do that or how is it possible in real life.

As I was searching for articles about Silent Hill on Parallel Universe, I found an article entitled "The other world of Silent Hill is not an "Other World" - It's Ours" by MegaBearsFan on the site of MegaBearsFan. I found out many things about Silent Hill. The article talks about that that it is an misunderstanding that the Other World in Silent Hill is some kind of parallel dimension.

"So, in summary, we have one example in the entirety of the first three games that might suggest that there is some kind of parallel dimensions (or perception) thing going on, as well as one line from the fourth game which corroborates that idea. But both are taken out of context, and there are dozens of examples that showcase an actual, physical transformation of the real world. We have a handful of quotes from Harry himself stating that “this is not a dream!”, “it’s like reality is being invaded”, and “someone’s nightmarish delusions come to life”. The interactions between different characters (particularly in Silent Hill 2) heavily suggests that changes are taking place in the real world. And finally, the concept of a God that can only create parallel dimensions just makes the whole game series moot and pointless, so why adhere to that belief?" stated by MegaBearsFan.

I believe that MegaBearsFan is trying to say that the there is really some kind of parallel dimensions thing is going on the Silent Hill games. I didn't able to play all Silent Hill games because I don't have any consoles anymore but knowing what MegaBearsFan has stated I was able to understand what Silent Hill is. The whole parallel dimensions thing on what is happening on Silent Hill is being controlled by a god that can only create parallel dimensions. 

I realized that it might not be parallel dimensions that is what in the game but someone's nightmarish delusion come to life and that this is not a dream meaning that all of this happened because of the god in silent hill who can create parallel dimensions. Another things I realized is that Silent Hill can't be true in reality since in the game parallel dimensions were created by a god. In real life, we don't know or recognize any gods who can create parallel dimensions. My curiosity is gone but I'm disappointed that it is not possible for the concept of Silent Hill to become true in reality. A game is a game. Reality is real.
