You're Jeff: Who Would You Save/Forgive?

I would have tried to at least do something to help them out of the trap. I mean I would expect the same thing if I was in that situation myself.

I would have tried to save them all. It would have been nice if the man had gotten more then 6months but in this society it does not always happen. It was also right when someone said the time this man was thrown in prison would not have really consoled them at all, unless he got life in prison and if this was his first offense very unlikely that would have happened, which also explains the light sentence. From Timothys flashbacks he was truly broken up by it. Jigsaw was right his life was changed that day just like that little boys family. He probably thought of Dylan every single day, wishing that it had not happened. He likely needed tons of therapy, Could have even made him change his life for the better. Recently I read a story in readers digest of a man in his 30s who accidently killed a girl (15) when he was about 17, now he wasnt drunk. The girl on her bike was just suddenly there. He says how it took him years and years to deal with it and even decades later he is still dealing with it. This game shows exactly how hard it is to forgive others. But even harder then forgiving others is to learn to forgive ourselves.
The women in the freezer, she made a mistake but we all make mistakes. Even if she had testify I doubt he'd have gotten more then maybe 5 years and probably would have seen possible parole at about 3 years.
Lastly Id have done it because I believe that no one will pass before their time. I know a lot of people dont like hearing that. However we were not all meant to pass on at a very elderly age. It be nice if everyone died a peaceful death but that does not always happen either.
Vengeance or prolonged hatred (which can become internal poisons) rarely get anyone anything. All one does is spread the hurt and pain because this people (who died) also had families, parents, cousins, children, friends etc. Who would all be effected by their deaths just like Jeff and Lynn (and even their daughter) were effected by their sons death. -

Very interesting and profound with all of the information that you are telling me about the film and similar instances that have happened to people in the film or outside of it. You are correct about vengeance and hate being a poison that does not help solve anything at all.

I would only save Halden. He was innocent and only did his duty as a judge. Danica was a cold (ironic, eh?), heartless, and despicable monster who deserved to die. Timothy would be the cause for all of my pain and suffering in the first place because he made the stupid and irresponsible choice to drink and drive. I would have let him die too.

Well if I was Jeff (which I never would be since I hate kids and I would never want one of my own.)
I would let them all live. No hard feeling, since a death of a child wouldn't mean much to me. -

I'm not religious but in that situation I would save them all. Whether or not I actually forgave someone I had those feelings toward is somthing else.
Jeff had to be the worst character in the entire series. I mean how weak is one expected to be? Bad things happen in life, that's a fact. Letting someone freeze to death at the hands of a serial killer is about as low as it gets in terms of lows.
The first time I watched Saw III I cringed at Jeff's base and useless self. After re-watching it (not sure why since it really was an awful movie but I am a horror fan) I was actually glad to see that his wife was cheating on him, the only problem was that she should have told him to go to hell while she was dying.
The movie could have been decent if they had thought of a more sinister motivation behind his son's death. -

I really can't comprehend how so many people would have just let them die. That's a little creepy to me.
I couldn't just sit there while someone was being tortured to death if I had an opportunity to save them. I just couldn't do it. -

The thing to remember is, it's not as simple as flipping a switch and then the person lives, or grabbing a key off a table and unlocking them. To save them, he had to rip a bit off of his face, burn the last physical things he has to remember his dead son by, and take a bullet. He has no obligation to do any of those things, and thus isn't "responsible" for the peoples' death even if he chooses not to do them.
Jigsaw, on the other hand, he had to actively kill. "Saving" him merely meant refraining from killing him. And since Jigsaw posed no imminent threat (and actually offered a way out - "I can have an ambulance here in four minutes"), to refrain from killing him IS an obligation.
I'm actually not sure which ones I would save and wouldn't save. But I could only really be called wrong for "not saving" Jigsaw. -

None of them should die, obviously. If a judge makes a mistake then he should be reprimanded not drowned in rotten pig mince. The same goes for the others, none of them set out to cause harm to anyone, excepting jigsaw and I wouldn't even kill him. I find the entire premise ridiculous even for a Saw movie.

I would have waited until Timothy's arms and legs were twisted, then I would have saved him. Then I would have choked him to death with my own bare hands.
I cannot understand how anyone could forgive someone who had killed their son whilst drink driving!!?!? Seriously, some people here would actually just pat him on the back and say, don't worry about it, thse things happen. Really??? A life for a life as far as I'm concerned
The Judge was only doing his job with the evidence he had, and the laws he has to follow? I don't agree 6 months is a fit sentence, but his hands were tired (no pun in 10 did!). I would have saved him.
The girl, she was probably scared and drove off. Her testimoney would not have changed things. I would have saved her.

I would try to save them all, of course. I wouldn't stand watching somebody die. I wouldn't even freakin' argue to spill time! That's why the freezing girl and the drunk couldn't be saved in time!!! Stupid Jeff.

I would save them all. It isn't my place to be their judge and jury- if I have the opportunity to save their life, I'm going to do my best to make sure they all walk out alive. The death of others won't bring back my son.
