Can anyone briefly explain ending of Saw to me. I understand that the man we thought was dead in the middle of the room is the cancer patient in the hospital and the other man is the hospital worker, but am I missing something. I thought it was a good film with lots of good scary bits but don't know if I have fully understood it!!!

Yeah - thanks a bunch for effing that up for me.

Sorry! Should have put warning on "Don't Read if haven't seen Saw".
The cancer patient was using the hospital worker in the same way he used his other victims, ie; do something nasty or you die instead. He set up everything in the room and was there so he could witness it himself. I didn't find it hard to grasp at all. Yes, it's a very good film, shame you spoiled it for everyone else.

No it wasn't hard to grasp. Thought it was so obvious that there must be something I had missed. Read loads of stuff on the film where people say there are loads of twists and turns in the film but it is obvious that the man in the hospital bed is the same man lying on the floor as he looks identical.

I think I remember it being explained somewhere in the film that the 'moral' point of Saw was that the killer (the bloke with cancer) was trying to teach his victims to appreciate life (probably since he was about to lose his own). If they completed the tasks he set them, it showed they valued their life above anything else, and so they deserved to live.

God only knows what the clown on the trike was about though :o\
