Silent Hill: Constellation!
Posted: 21 Apr 2015
SPOILERS - Silent Hill Revelation, main film points...
I won't be going into full detail here, as there are deeper meanings both in the constellations and in the film. But basically Heather/Alessa=God. Heather, the weaker one appears as the Lamb of God ARIES. (In opposition this is also LUPUS, being put to death upon the Southern Cross CRUX - which is seen at the correct point in the film before Heather enters the hospital.) Alessa appears as the powerful Angel of God SAGITTARIUS, who are one and the same. But here is the basic story, which is exactly the same as the constellations...
(We begin with TAURUS, but this requires further explanation.)
ARIES, Heather appears, running to the right.
PISCES upside down appears like a closeup of two legs running.
AQUARIUS jug of water pouring upon the fish PISCIS AUSTRINUS
(LEPUS the rabbit also makes an appearance, out of place.)
PEGASUS flying horses on the carousel. Heather on the carousel is now CYGNUS the swan.
CAPRICORN the goats are the two men tied along with the horses.
SAGITTARIUS the archer appears and FIRES! She also appears as the second bird AQUILA, flying towards Cygnus.
All just a dream!
SCORPIO the back biting traitor suddenly appears and stabs Harry in the back.
LIBRA is judgement for Harry, also seen as CENTAURUS stabbing LUPUS in the back.
But it was just another dream! Heather has another chance to save him when the great valve/carousel turns around to this point again later...
VIRGO is Heather lying in bed, reaching out to the Light, which is the Word. Virgo also gives birth to the sun, the Light, the Word, as Heather writes.
LEO the Father is played by Harry. He says, "Happy birth day," to Heather/Virgo. He gives her a gift of clothing. (It's not a standard constellation, but Leo is kicking a crown of stars onto the head of Virgo.)
He has his cup CRATER, and he's going to get his spoon LEO MINOR.
CANCER the crab holds up the two claws, representing a division between the left hand and the right hand. Rose is stuck on the left hand (along with one half of the divided seal) while Heather comes through on the right hand (with the other half).
GEMINI shows people following Heather. First Douglas, then Vincent, then the police. We are introduced to the people, whom Heather thinks are all just "sheeple". The people then start changing into animals. This is shown much better in the game Silent Hill 3...
MONOCEROS = great big beast, with horns (in hands).
CANIS MAJOR = split headed dogs.
LEPUS = harmless rabbits and walking sex organs.
COLUMBA = flying creatures like mosquitos.
The big bus, as well as the car Heather travels in are represented by the great boat ARGO.
TAURUS the ox or bull is a powerful creature. Heather begins to learn about her own power. On one horn she has the magic power Pleiades (seven stars represents the Spirit of God). On the other horn she has the pyramid headed protector AURIGA.
ORION the enemy suddenly attacks, the Heather begins learning more about herself...
ARIES the Lamb was sacrificed, being put to death, but survived. Heather now begins playing the role of the saviour, setting the prisoners free. We have a loop here...
PERSEUS Heather sets free the chained woman ANDROMEDA.
The monster CETUS attacks, the two PISCES divide, Heather goes on, and the woman goes back into slavery.
...
ANDROMEDA Harry is also seen in chains.
...
ARIES the crucified Lamb appears.
PERSEUS Heather now holds the key, and goes to Leonard ANDROMEDA in chains.
PISCES represents the two halves of the seal. One has a circle and the other has a triangle, which goes into chained Leonard/Andromeda. The two halves unite together inside him, and he becomes the monster CETUS. Heather takes the whole seal out of him.
SCULPTOR the scyth appears, cutting off people's arms.
...
PERSEUS Heather goes to set free Vincent ANDROMEDA who is lying down tied up.
PISCES the two split up. Vincent on the left goes back into captivity, Heather on the right goes back to PEGASUS on the carousel.
AQUARIUS repeats from earlier.
CYGNUS and AQUILA unite.
CAPRICORN the goats this time are Claudia's useless followers.
SAGITTARIUS, now united in one faces the traitor SCORPIO Claudia.
Claudia changes into DRACO (also SERPENS) and fights with Heather's protector HERCULES (also OPHIUCHUS).
(To see the outcome, observe LEO MINOR + LYNX)
LIBRA judgement comes upon Claudia instead this time.
VIRGO reaches out to her lover, and unites with LEO again.
LEO goes back to the left hand CANCER to find his wife...
GEMINI the two go off together, and go on the big truck ARGO.
TAURUS the story ends and begins again...
----------------------
You'll notice many other things. For example, when the "clock" has completed one revolution of 12 Zodiac signs and we get back to TAURUS again, we see a closeup of a clock reading "12:00", which of course then just cycles around to 1:00 and repeats all over again (as we saw).
