Welcome to the unfun island of Thor 3D. Oh, God, 3D. I forgot. 3D. Oh, no. Oh, yeah, we all have our 3D glasses, right? That's the mark of quality. That's how you know it's 3D. We went through this with Filedestation. We've hit the Sabira. Some movies are still being released with 3D, but it's just not as much of a marketing push. It's like instead of coming and going, it came and sort of settled down into a little corner. It's like VR. VR is doing fine, right? It's out there. Remember the 3D TVs? Do you remember that? Yeah. Yeah. That definitely died. So when they made all these sorts, they were like, this is an actual full story that was deliberately crafted over many years, and now we've hit the end of it. It feels that way, right? With that we've been building up to a final chapter. That's what it feels like. That was planned. We totally didn't stitch this together. Who knows? This just was planned. Everything. Imagine the characters we may see return or reach an end or combine to create some kind of mech version of Ultron thing. Who knows? It's gonna be great. I hope Tobin Bell is in this one. Wasn't the promotional post or whatever like a giant, like a statue of Tobin Bell being built? I'm like a big man. Yeah. I remember being like, what the fuck? Their posts are so random sometimes. I think that was for Jigsaw, not this one, or unless that was what you were talking about. No, I think it was for this one. Source seven. Is everybody excited and ready? Because we're on a high, right? Source six was something. It wasn't like, it wasn't boring.   So you got, you know, a bit of a like, ooh, maybe more. Oh yeah, let's do it. All right. In three dimensions this time. Yes, everyone, get your 4D glasses to have even more out of it. I'm gonna watch this on my VR headset. Whoa. All right, three, two, one. Go! That's not mine. Look at this.  Move me! Move me, nudge! This looks incredibly cheap.  Ha ha ha ha! Yeah. Oh, God! I miss Lion's Gate. Give it back. You know that? Yeah, it was a fun. That Lion's Gate logo. Mwah, compared to those others. The other ones were perfect. What do you mean? Even twisted pictures. Who stayed the same this whole time? Proud of you. Oh, previously on, we're going back to soul one. Wow. Good ol' zap. Ah! Previously on, soul. You guys remember this one? That's one of the older ones. Nope, never seen that movie before. It's a mystery to me.  Not really. Well, now we have the rights to do it. So yeah, do you know anything about this, Adam? Oh, they made amends. He decided he would rather have some money. Instead of money. So, because his lawsuit wasn't really going anywhere.  As you said. Yeah, he should have just not sued them in the first place. Like what a baby. He sued them for what? Money picks up everything. For him wanting more money, even though he signed a contract and agreed to the amount. There is a person out there who watches these films and absolutely consumes and loves them without like uncritically and thinks that they're all built deliberately and stuff and sees this and they're like, it's all been building to they going back to the beginning because the whole story is about to come to a full close. Wow. Good thing there's some hot steam here. I guess so. It's very sore to just have the incredibly hot pipe here.  That really feels like enough to knock you out. Yeah, probably. I believe the 3D one was the one he came back for. I was waiting for him. He's getting on the ground floor. He's like 3D is going to be outside. It really does feel like the budget has been blown up. Look at this.  Wait, what? Oh, there's media buzz around this. Yeah, everybody's just noticing this now. Like, where did this come from? It looks like it's the middle of the day. Yeah, that had to have been set up at night time. And even if it was night time, like this seems like a very public area. Those who know this trap, please refrain from spoiling the nature of it at the ending of it.    No, I just want to look. Are you kidding me? Oh, jeez. Why are my boobs so accentuated in these straps? Well, it's 2010, okay? It is like, oh, the briefcase, that'll do it. This world isn't grinding yet. That's not even like... Oh my god, look at him. That's my soft briefcase. Dude, that entrance for the puppet is amazing, because you know he was just off screen, never could see him. Yeah, yeah. Oh, the hero's going on in there. Yeah! She's a hoe.  The puppet's lying. Why are you listening to the puppet? They've filtered him to be even creepier now. Aw, who's Alpha?  So this is like, Source just expanded his approach, doesn't he? He's just sort of... I'm a Sigma male, I can't win this. I mean, what has this got to do with a new lease on life? Was this something that Kramer left on in his will? Yeah. Was this another Kramer one, or was this strictly Hoffman? It looks like there's plenty of rooms. Maybe it's an Amanda one. Oh my god. See, so that, I feel like... If I was Brad, I'd be like, listen, she's... Oh! Wow, buddy. This is in 3D. Oh, boy. That stock sounds. I wonder if all the people who originally recorded that are dead now. Damn! I've always loved you. I feel like there's a correct answer here at this point. Brad, let's be Alphas together, okay, buddy? Gamer train. Brum brum! Oh, the place are here now. Ouchies! No, they show up here. She's still fine, she'll make it. Oh, she's not looking so good now. He went all over the puppet!  Oh man. Oh no, that guy! Fell over. There's three people for no reason. They didn't need to be in public. I don't know why it was. Maybe they answered that later on. Oh, I think she died. Okay. Yeah! Hey, remember this, previously on. So did she do the electric chair thing, or was that always an electric chair? I think... I have no clue. She... Well, because I think... I think Kramer told her that she should do it. Look at this run. You're totally running for your life right now.  Do you see that? Yeah, I told you he'd be better. Look at her run! Wait, how did you do that? How did you run away into him? She went in a circle without realizing it. What?! Very smart. She's so off. My face hurts. She's very easy to see by the way. Yeah. She doesn't understand the concept of hiding. Luckily for all of us, she decided to hide right next to that light pointing at her. Yeah, exactly. It's handy. It's a good thing. It'd be funny if she's hiding next to a puppet, and then said to him, just like, what are you doing? I'm fighting too. I find Hoffman real creepy just saying. Oh my God. That's what needs to happen. But a puppet needs to wake up in a sore trap. It's like, what's happening? Yeah, he didn't get all that other work, you know? Had a rough day at work, pal? Aw, man. We're gonna get Punisher Hoffman now. He did a really good job sewing that. He did a really good job, yeah. Is he a doctor? It's... It's... It's Guy from Final Destination 1 who got strangled in his own bathroom. That's our secret detective man today. Look at him. Oh, wow, yeah. Full circle. Imagine she tried to summarize the plot of Soul 1 through 6 to them to explain, like... In her deposition. You're not gonna believe me, but... You actually need the little poster board with the string. Yeah, you really would. And he'd be putting out all the plot holes, and she's like, look, I don't... That's what happened. He definitely knows you. Why is he so sarcastic? He'll just flip it. You swear to be totally open. You tell me everything. What's your bra size? I would warn him... Hoffman tends to kill everyone, so... Yeah. So this is the problem this film faces. It's like, can we really make up another whole set of traps for no reason at all? And it's like...  Who's this guy, though? We haven't seen him before? Yeah, I'm thinking, have I just forgot one of the 79 characters? Survive an acronym? Like the title of the book? Oh, I'd rather not. Yeah, it is an acronym. Yeah. What does it stand for?  Sexual umbrellas, relive, violence. Why? Indigenous experience. Sexual umbrellas, that's what you start with. And I just yanked, and I yanked. And when I got to the top, I just ripped the hooks out of my chest, and I just screamed. And then everyone clapped, right? I agree with that lady.  A survivor's face time. They've addressed that it's enough of an epidemic in this town place. There's an actual support group.  Jigsaw's here. He took out nine cops. She just pushes past him and really smells like, Oh, excuse me, I'm sorry, I parked my car here. Right here in the police station, this is where you're gonna do that. That worked. I guess. It always works. It always works for Hoffman. He gets in there and gets out easy.  You know what's funny? Weird. That's gonna...   I can only do it once. Oh, okay, I'll do that. But why would you... Wow, you work hard on this. The thing about this trap, though, is that it's it's gonna kill it quick. Well, can you just stand out of it?   Isn't that in character for you, Hoffman? He did seem to want to get it clearly close to naked there, huh? Well, we're... Oh my god. Hi, Jill. Oh my goodness gracious, it was only a dream. She's fine. Which is funny because the whole audience is like, oh.  That character that this film insists on keeping a thing. So I remember this.  Oh, right. Oh, that is him, isn't it? And he does a lot of screaming and it's so impossible not to hear Linking Park songs in your head. You must have been friends with somebody because that's so weird. Yeah. Chester Bennington sounds like a cat. You're cool. Oh, no, they're all racist. I hate when they put the hooks in the jaw. What are you supposed to do? I know. Oh, they aimed that real well. All right, what are you going to do? Tear yourself away from the seat to which you are glued. Then you must pull the red lever before you. You will learn that we are all the same color on the inside. He bleeds purple. He's like, see? They should have done a music video. Why not? Yeah. They should have started playing in the end. Yeah, why not?  No, that's too easy, Muller. I like how this is kind of similar to, I think it was what it was at Final Destination 5 where it's like, OK, well, this is a white Nash left to smash. Who cares? It's a racist. Man, that was a very long. You just need to tell him, like, you can do it, buddy. You can do it because that's the only thing. You don't do it for a long seven seconds. If you don't do it, then the black people win.  Oh, dear. Oopsie. Did you see she tried to move her head out of the way at least? Yeah, she tried to move her head. Well, she's dead. He's very dead. Well, at least chest is OK. Oh, OK. I mean, Kyle probably wasn't even going that fast, but I guess it was. Yeah, I don't know about that one.  Oh, we're a solid.  That's kind of neat, actually. Tiny triggers. And they remind me of what I went through. Oh, why would you film this? Yeah, that's gross. Oh, they're going to show us the actual traps.  But no honors? What? Oh. And then what happened now?  What kind of trap is this? How do you get all the gnomes? Those were perfectly good gnomes. Why were there gnomes? The gnomes are like us, the audience. What? What are the gnomes? What was the point of the gnomes? It's the old lady. She made it. Thank you. I actually would be interested to hear from her. You want to know the best thing that happened to me after having to cut off my own arm? They're going to show it, of course. Yeah.  That's not so bad. I mean, the walk is clear. Yeah, I mean, like, wait a minute, that's our arms. Yeah, like, considering the woman who still has... I mean, compared to nothing, that's pretty good.  That's the wife, like, with the son who killed Black Mask. She's here. Oh, we would love to hear from her. I want to see if there's any guilt. Why can't we hear from these people? He was the guy who even saw five that cut way too far into his arm and should be dead, but... Yeah, he's that guy. But, like, this should be a full-on conversation with all of them. Yeah, it's opposed to, like, the new people. I want to see the old characters.  They probably didn't wait a lot for the existing characters because they didn't know who would show up. We're going to be completely honest.  Also, you know he's got his arm in the sling. I was about to say, like, well, hasn't it healed yet? I was, like, no, wait, when was... I don't even know when that film took place. What does it look like to have a healed arm that's been so unliked? I don't know. I don't know.  She had, like, a clown sore trap. Why the hell did we see that?  Oh, my God! Lawrence is slow-clapping! Oh, my God! The slow-clap. I'm the original survivor. They gave him evil voice, too.  They have catering. They've made him evil, I love it. He got us to go British accent. And the thing is, he's already British. I know. Overacted in the first one. I'm so happy with this decision. He's got a walking cane. Of course he should, it's just perfect for a villain, too. So it's with the creepy guy with the can, someone I should know about. He's a can? So it's with the creepy guy with the can. Thank you. The man. I thought the camera was going to hang on the blonde dude, and then I'd have been like, Pig's going to get you. Pig's going to get you. Where's the pig? Where is he? Oh, in the background already. Oh! Is that magic? There was no pig sound, though. Yeah, that's a shame. And the editing wasn't cringe.  Oh, he's eating an apple. He's lost all of it. That's the rule. It's a very pale apple. Also, he's like a discount Ryan Gosling, can it? I can see the Ryan Gosling in him. There is an element of it. What's up, man? I'm going to junk out on 58. Why? Why? Yeah. You're missing some details. I love the idea that Hoffman was sewing himself back together, like sorting out the crime scene, then simultaneously, like, oh, I got to set up another two elaborate soul traps for another 12 people.  I mean, yeah, from his perspective, why not? Everyone deserves to die at this point. Smokers and racists are on the same level. Jigsaw's an all-or-nothing kind of moral guy, you know? Anything that's bad makes you a slave. Dude, he would tie someone up and be like, so you think being good is all there is to life? What? Maybe he just didn't have that many people in his social circle, so he's just kind of grasping at straws to justify. Like, well, they have to be people that I know did things, so... You didn't get to have his Walter White moment where someone said to Jigsaw, like, you're doing this for the fun of it, dude. Be honest with yourself, Jesus. How does he always know who's working the cases? You should also probably not put your hands all over the sides. Yeah, you should be wearing gloves. That's probably a really bad place to put your hands. I remember the other, the forensics, coming in, they're like, oh my God, Gibson's fingerprints were on the crime scene. He's like, oh, jeez, no, that's not, uh, oh, jeez. Well, this is awkward. Seems unfair to put someone through it again, you know. Well, didn't Amanda go through more than one? Yeah. Well, I don't think he went through more than one. That was a ruse. Yeah, it was a ruse. That's true, but she still had to go through, like, more than any of the people there. That's true. She don't go right into the pit of Needle. A liar, you and I both know you have never been in a trap, nor have you ever been tested. Stolen valor! Whoa, stolen soul, the... Which isn't, this is not a bad idea for the premise of a soul film. You posted several tweets that got 70,000 likes. I find that very distasteful. So the police and everybody never could verify a story with a location? Apparently not. That seems weird that you could fake this. Yeah, maybe the officer is investigating the one that died, like, I don't know.  What'd she do? She didn't know. She was also lied to. She was deceived. He specifically said he deceived her. She's innocent. You know what? You could still say that that's a problem with the previous soul, but at least the point was trying to be made to the guy that innocent people dying is fucked, you know? That was like the point you're trying to give to the protagonist.  Oh, bulls. The scream sound effect.  You've got plenty of room. You've got plenty of room. You could swim. Just swim. Just swim. That's okay. You know, where's case scenario? You could actually land. Yeah, if you hang down on the wrong one. That would be hard to aim. It would, but like, I'm just saying it's not the end of the world. Swinging around like that. But if you, yeah, the T test plenty of room is plenty of room to drop between the spikes, especially with how low he is here when he can hold on to the bottom one. That roll. I just want him to be like, nice. Good job. They've done a superhero landing.  I just did it. Oh, you missed it. Wait a minute. Oh, that looks bad. That looks real bad. It does look very bad. They didn't match. They, like, applied a color filter on all the other footage and forgot. Yeah. This horrible event. Another one. Yeah, we're adding a bunch that we don't get to. At this point, they need to establish their jigsaw killer copycats in other cities. I realized what I still had and I didn't want to let that go. He's inspired to lie because he's in this timeline. Most people have been captured by jigsaw. People have gone through games. The thing about it is, like, two people can claim it. One of them could have lost every limb while the other one has got, like, scratches. It was like, yeah, I was tested. He's into it. Oh, I really like this philosophy.  He finds killing just tasteful. It's true. Hello. Hello. There's a little puppet off to the side who's not activated yet. She's like, come on. I know you talk. Ah, follow the line. Like in the Stanley Parable. Stanley Parable. I know this. I'm very good at it. That was left for me and your fingerprints were all over it. Oh. There's a new game going on. Does that surprise you? No. Why did they put these two in a room? You're crazy. You know that?  What was that? The minute I laid eyes on you. This is what we're going to do. Crazy. This is what we're going to do crazy. This is so funny.  The writing is not as strong here. It's a safe house. Safe house. Safe house. Safe house. We're walking off times, buddy. You're going to try to imagine what the writer thinks this character is. Like they've seen other movies. What's with the drapes between the rooms? I don't know. Can I have a door? Yeah, that's why. It's for safety. Because it's a safe house. What the heck? Only Mongolium. What was that about?  Is that a blackberry? Damn. Oh, it's Huffman. Hi. He's like, I'm not putting the filter on. You know it's me. Yeah. I recorded this on tape even though technology has advanced very far. I like the aesthetic. Well, this was, he was playing on DVD, right? So wait, you recorded on tape and put it on a DVD? He added a filter. Like, I don't know.  Give it to me. The game stops and no one else dies. Well, give our power and I'll stop the game. Oh. I'll be the end. Those guys don't have any. We don't negotiate with terrorists. Why would he bring the camera? Why would he go on camera to do that? Yeah, I don't know why. I guess at this point, he assumes it's a lost cause. Everybody knows it's him. I guess so, but that's just adding to the evidence, you know? No one wants to get away with this anymore. Yeah, he hasn't been convicted yet. If he gets like kind of a war cap, he could maybe survive. Hi. Oh, that's just what you don't want. I would.  So he's hyper familiar with the sword games.  Yeah, wait, you're not triggering anything. Don't press anything.  Look, we're not getting Thor 6 Man again, okay? Do we mean they've changed the sword filter? He's different now. I'm trying to make him sound spookier. It's got more of a like, I don't know, something to it. It feels like it's more distorted. Yeah, it's more jumbled.  Yeah, I'm like, did you not hear? Are you deaf? Jesus Christ. Really like it in concept. I'm not sure about the hook.  It's over surely. To pull that out of her.   I don't think anyone can survive that. No, this one is like grim. And what are we learning here exactly? Don't pretend to have been in a salt trap, said it. If you have to pull hard, you just... That's what I mean. That's how hard it is for him to pull it out. Look at how much resistance there is. You're going to drag her stomach flesh up through her throat like this. It's nothing. She's doomed. I'm sorry.   See, that's... You're making it. But yeah, I mean there is a limit to not saying anything. You know what I mean? It's a 3D. This one's just impossible. It's not fair. And it was close. There's a couple of edits you need to make to this. You put it on your face.  Stop screaming. You got it outside. Well, the time is over. The time is up anyway, so she's dead. That looks so bad. You mean like CG? Yeah, that looks really fake CG. There you go. That was lame. Yeah, I'm not a fan. I'm almost a fan.   See what you...  Oh yeah, let's chill.   So that's why instead of him being like that was not fair, like what could she pose me to instead?  It's like, wow. He didn't even look quiet. He's mean.  How does it apply to the story here? Well, because she knew and helped. Okay. Therefore, she deserved to have a hook up dragged up her throat. Oh, okay. There's nothing to learn. Did she know the truth? Yeah, she knew that he faked it. Okay, that's something, but again, still I just don't... It's the wife that seems to be the innocent party. I presume that everybody else knows.  And it didn't even matter, because the time limit... Look who it is! Hello, my fellow kids. Hello, fellow victim. Yeah, I love his get up here. I love, like, the backwards hat. Wait, so he faked all this while he was still alive? Yeah, while he was both alive and up and about. Which is weird. He's even got a little backwards hat. This is what we were warning you about really early on.  Hello, my fellow jinx. It implies that there were so many other traps for other people getting news coverage and everything that we never saw that took place before Saw 3 when Kramer died. Yeah. Yeah, the impression of, like, Saw 1 was... When did the support group start? Like, Saw 1 was when it just began. Yeah, for you, Saw 1 at this point in the timeline could be the last story. It makes the first three films insignificant, really. Yeah.  Our stories, really. He's not wearing a music band t-shirt. Security, get him out of here.  And then the police are like, what? And he's like, nothing, nothing at all. Imagine he said I'm the jigsaw. He's like a boomer and he doesn't know how the kids are referred to him exactly. Hey, I've got something over here. There's so many new detectives. Do you remember all of our detectives from first Saw? Yeah. They're, like, the first of 17 deaths. The detectives. The first of 17 deaths because the whole squad died in the left corner. They just replenish this little tub of clones that they all climb out of. This is why I wanted these to carry on forever as well because I'm infinitely abused by them just saying there was another one. And then there was another one. Oh, what's written on the door is his acronym. Oh, is it? Oh, and that's what he has in his book to represent. You understand your problems, verify or something? Well, what's the trap this time? I'd stop wriggling around if I were you. Oh, okay. Was it a puppet? Hey, buddy. What? Listen, I don't I'm trying to find new and dynamic ways of entering the room. I'd be so distracted by this. I'd be so distracted by this. This is the highest position long enough to close the circuit slowing down her device. Is that going to be really strong for this one? This is kind of like a play on the steam one from the previous film. But you just have to be really strong. Just delay it for 30 seconds. Dude, you know the rules. What are you doing? You need to get started straight away so that you can even take a break. I can't remember. Is he going to get tickled? Wouldn't that be funny? He's actually tickling him. He's like, ah, I got to let go. It's too much. I know I'm laughing, but it's actually awful. That would hurt, but they don't look too deep. Yeah, that looks all right. That seems okay. I'm having a great start. Don't wait on your shoulders. Jigsaw said 30 seconds. I would actually count it out while screaming. Because you got to dig him back in, but which is not good. Why is he not standing up and using his arms extended? You could also angle it. He could actually do this. There are a couple of other alternatives. That's so 3D. It's like it's coming at me.  I was going to say. I don't mean to compare the Soul 6, man, but... You're not even doing it right. Also, what is the mouth one for? A good measure. Something to think about. How much do you got? We didn't see the timer. You're in it. You're better. That's going to hit. I think she's dead.  You just hurt yourself. Yeah, basically. What is this lesson? You've gotten these people in trouble because you lied. You knew that lying was bad, by the way. Yeah, but now he's got a...  What's funny is, he didn't even use it just to gain... to promote himself financially. He knew he was going to be on the news while Jigsaw was alive, I guess.  Was he doing it for money or did it seem like it was more for the attention? I don't know. I don't know what's about him. He flashed back and forth. Now he looks kind of rich. He's definitely gotten more money. I knew that it was going to happen while Jigsaw was alive. The bar scene, I thought they were implying he wants something to do in his life and he seemed to enjoy inspiring people with his story. Which is interesting, right? If that was his motivation, I just want to give people something even if it isn't real, it's real to them. That sort of thing. Has this movie got the most traps?  This feels very similar to both of the Saw video games. Because you have to walk across planks in that game at some point? Yeah, because it's a video game. Well, because this one... he's got to describe to him how to escape. There's something here thematically maybe. Yeah, like why is he huddled close to the wall if he wasn't even aware that... Did he wake up standing up? Yeah, that one doesn't make sense. All you have to do is put him in a little cage and the opening to the cage is over here. Yeah.   Kale, walk over the planks through the key. You must get it to him within 60 seconds. 60 seconds. So that's impossible. Yeah, I thought the idea is that he can't make out what he wants to go.  Did you not listen to the scary voice? Yeah, he just said come to me. Yeah, there's no reason for... One of you is blind, okay? He could go halfway and then jump over the last... He could have a test foot. He could use one of his foot to feel out where he could step. I feel like you could make that jump. So the idea here is that we need to both go so that we'll make up the time. Is that the idea? Yeah. But all the time you're spending directing him, you could have just been focusing on you going. Oh, why are you moving so slow? I think it's implied that there's a gap that's too far for him to jump. I think that's what it's trying to go for. Really? So yes, the toss between you and him is what they say. Yeah. It was a bottle, they fall. It should have been higher too.  You're not going to make it. Look at how little you've achieved already. That's because he's going slow along the side when he's up to this point. He's had a lot of room. Why'd you just do it one at a time? Just jump. Why is the guy who can see not going fast? Come to the solid thing. Just jump. Now that looks like stone. He's giving up. You can still do things, man. Yeah. You can't be watching him do time while you're doing your thing. What was that? That's not fair, is it? Surely we've already ran out of time. Yeah, you're right. That isn't fair.  This has been 60 seconds for sure. What was that? If you're willing to do that, please do the rest. Good job climbing back on that plank with your eyes blinded. Somehow, yeah. There you go. There's a secret. Crawl. Just crawl. You'll be way better off. He's making way more progress than the guy who was blind. Sorry. Come on! The fact that he didn't tell him to crawl from the beginning. Oh my God, this is cringe. Go! Come on. Save one person at least.  No, you should jump across, buddy. How is he going to unlock his own? It's also been too long. Throw it over here. He doesn't even know what a lock is. He doesn't even know what a lock is. Oh my God! Who could have known?  Yeah, he could. Oh well. You can hold it right. You can hold the rope up there. You can hold his legs. Yeah, there's a sheath. Oh, he died. I guess he died. You're right. He could have held his legs up. He could have done a lot of things.    This is where he saved my life. Oh. Okay. Flashback! Could have remembered that back in the office. I've never heard that. Well, they do the flops. Oh, no! Oh, it broke. Yes! Wow! There's music off that side. Yeah.   Hopped up the gun. The winter soldier fell off. Hey! Oh, you're...  See, if your partner had bullets that went through people, then you'd be dead. So it's a good thing.  I didn't have my gun. And you didn't shoot first.  Yeah, this took all the riding around this.  What do you mean shoot first? You just shot him. Plus, if this is a junkie getting his blood all over you... Uh... You should go take a bath and get tested. Especially in your eyes. And I guess he's on the run, so all of this is predicated on him not dying in any of these previous tracks. Exactly! I don't understand that. Because he could easily have died in several of these. Well... Which means that this all plays out and these people just die without a... If he had fallen off, he can't get back up in the one with the blind guy. It's not that easy though, but... No, it is not that easy. I like how they just... as if they would work that way. I don't know if they just watch that always sunny episode. Wait, that just kind of came out on its own? Yeah, that slipped right off. It would be so funny if he pulled the wrong one. Also, those are kind of the most... Well, there's no preferable tooth to pull, but I mean... I was about to say, the thing about... You don't want to lose the front ones, but again, it's probably easier to pull the front ones. I got my wisdom teeth removed.  He was going primitive.  Just in my mouth. It should take some time. He was like... He was getting exhausted. I've had a tooth pulled, and that was my immediate conclusion after it was done. So this was the same as it was 10,000 years ago, huh? Mm-hmm. Well, now we have gas. But yes, essential. The painkillers. That's my advice to you. If you don't want to come, you think of the dentist. Instantly. Just put you in a different mindset. You can take that to the bank and smoke it.  Jigsaw's like... Shit. They're doing the thing. He's not wearing body armor, and he's got a pistol. Yeah. How else are you going to tell? Yeah. Master Chief can't wear a helmet. So how did they... How did those numbers get under his teeth anyway? Yeah, I don't know. I'll be honest with you. If I was aware of this entire case, like the sole case as a whole, I would never work on it.   It's like the cops in Mexico like, do you go after the cartel? Nah, probably not a good idea. Oh, come on. You've already done one. It's easy now. If you have any reflective surface in there... Oh. Is that helping? I don't know. So if I was a detective, I really would be curious to find out. It's like, man, he failed all these tests. They're just going the other way. Why didn't he go through those doors? They just bump into another trap, and Jigsaw's like, this was your publicist. They're just like, wait, what?  Like, one by one, you know? Oh, what? Give an excuse why they... That would have been...  What? Yeah, that's a weird thought. Jigsaw thought ahead, all right. Put that on his teeth when he was a baby. Where did he... He's a genius. Two numbers on each one. Yeah, but they were on the roots. They were on the actual teeth. That is bizarre.  Again, I would never take point.  Person in front needs to be like head to toe bomb disposal. Yeah. Oh, look. Why is your delivery so weird? I want you to slowly... It was like he was doing a Trump impression. I want you to slowly... You're the best traps, I know. Dremendous. What's funny is like the main character in this it seems like more like a personal kind of... Jigsaw has to get him rather than...   Yeah, it seems weirdly personal. You must overcome a game that should be all too familiar. I'll tease you to be a faker, do it for real. If you can tell, you're gonna have to dig those hooks in and then pull on the chains. Yeah. But question, yeah, could you not pull on all four of them at the same time? Yeah. Could you not step on those hooks with your shoes? I think stepping would totally work. I could totally get my jeans in there. Could you not hook the loops in your jeans? Well, your feet are much better option Yeah. I think there's actually many options here. You could take your clothes off and start turning them into the kind of like rope and straps type situation. There's plenty of things that he could do. Yeah, it doesn't quite work. Honestly, that's the difficulty of the sword traps. You have to come up with ones that force them to do the spooky, gross thing that you want to do. Ew. Wait a minute, that's not Hoffman. No. She's going to want to chew him out for lying about whether or not he did the trap for real when he's considering doing it for real. So I think what you need to do, Love, is say you can do this. You can do this.  I'd be like, I'll deal with that later. Plus, think about think about the kind of book you could write after this. Survive. Yeah, I did survive, but I definitely did. His acronym is literally just two survived things, back to back, survive, survive. Well, survived. The survive. No way you could do this in time. This would take so long. Well, wait, they'd notice the missing body. No, no, no, right. That's why I'm saying it would have taken so long. Can you tell what he's going to do? They don't investigate crime scenes anymore once the bodies are in the bags. Nobody looks at anything. What body is that now? That's him. This is so funny. Right now. Get down. Get down. What? You need to get down. Oh, okay. You know, I'm tired of people not recognizing that that's a gun. What are y'all doing this whole time? Nobody came in here. I want you detective characters out. Cool. All right. Bye. Okay. Uh-oh. Spaghetti. I'm just checking the body over here. Jump scare. Oh, my God. Ouchie. Oh, my God. He didn't bring a gun. He brought a knife. Maybe he's got a gun in his back pocket or something, but Hoffman likes his knives. Okay.  Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. He died too. Now that guy's down. 3D.  Let's go and take a bow down. Not that guy. Just make sure you drag that gun right across your body. Oh, good thing they all went in this room. Oh, man. See, I just... Is that Mentos and Coke? What is that? They have gas masks with you. Why did you not go the way you came?  Oh, no, not this guy. Why does he keep stabbing people underneath the gun? No, Jeremy Irons. No. He could have just stabbed him in the back of the head or back of the neck. He's sending for like 6 minutes. It's probably the easiest for props because he can just hold the blood tube underneath and they can spit out blood. They have to create like an actual prop like a real... I like the idea as he's digging this in. It's like, does it matter that I lie now?  When did you clean that up? Oh, it's fine. That was like a different trap. Why'd you care? That was like a different movie. Oh, no. And somehow because he decided not to put the knife in her, she actually managed to... He was biting his like clothed arm. Well, it did matter.  I don't feel like that's going to be enough to hold you. No, I don't think so either. But I also would go as far as saying it's annoying that there are so many other options.  Yeah. All you gotta do is connect those two things. Can you get to the beam? It's really not a question of willpower. Yeah, they're not. No. I think his pants would work. Yeah, I said the loops in his jeans would actually do it.  It's like, oh, I wouldn't be worried about him pulling it. I'm worried about the skin tearing away. Oh, oh my goodness. Just one stab, stab, stab. It keeps stabbing people in that part of their mouth. Also, that's the first gun he's collected, by the way. Look how thin that, like, bit of tissue he's got there is. It's just not gonna work. Oh, go look. Oh, Jesus. Ah! Yep, all the cops are dead again.  And then he somehow was able to do it. Don't leave the gun there.  Good plan, actually, because what he's gonna do is way worse. It's just, like, about personal vendettas in this one. It's, like, such a soap opera. Yeah. What people want to see. Look at it, it's sticking to it. How do I look? A little red.  You should have done it. You didn't twist and gut, like a certain guy. Yeah, you had to stab, twist, gut, that's right. He's basically an arc. I don't understand. He had to escape a building. You still have a knife. Also, there are dead police officers everywhere. They all have guns. You could just run though. Like, it's just a building, you could leave. A door was, oh, her run. She doesn't know how to run, right? Grab a gun, grab a gun, grab a gun. There was a gun, there was a gun, right there.  No, don't hide.  I can't believe. The jog is like a Brandon Rogers skit. See, how's that not going? Wait, how's it not going down? He's let go. I don't understand. Oh, jeez. That's not a small fall, my friend. That was pretty. Also, he failed because they couldn't support his weight, not because of his willpower. So, that's fine. Yeah, it's another BS. He didn't think it was after him. And if he was faster, he might have saved it. I think that was like, I don't know, is it called shut-in fruit? That was because he wrote it that way in his book. Actually, that's impossible. You see, I only build traps that are easy to defeat because I'm nice. I'm not a killer. It's just tasteful. Oh, boy, look at all these traps from the prior films. Full circle, huh? The nostalgia room. Full spiral. Oh, nice. He just sees it, right? She's so bad at hiding. I thought he was looking... He wasn't even going to check the section of the room.  Also, like, nobody cares about this character. No, who cares if she dies? But I respect characters who can, like... Well, you kind of... She was right there. She was in his field of view the whole time the film just pretended otherwise. Listen. I can explain. What? So this seems fair, doesn't it? They're totally innocent party. Whoa.  If you think about how guilty she is, she met a man who had a horrible life and fell in love with him. Her crime was believing his story to be true. Oink, oink.  Jesus Christ. Well, we talked about how the most gruesome death is still probably Sorsak's protagonist, but this one is not nice. This one I struggle to care about.  All the police are dead. He killed every one of them. What about the person who he called on the phone? Is she dead? Yeah, he's tired of them respawning, so he's trying to destroy, like, the spawn equipment. What a juxtaposition of these two deaths, you know? In terms of how you feel about them. Mmm. Totally innocent, and this is what's happening to her. And this one is like... I guess she shouldn't have this happen to it, but she's still not a great person either, so... Yeah, she's participating in all of it.  See, that's a pretty grim way to go. It's terrible for an innocent person. Yeah, this one makes no sense at all, Jigsaw, you prick.  Also, her eyes should not be... This is a big old John Kramer one. This was definitely his...  No, that was him. But we're done with that. Look. Yeah, you gotta play the recorder for this one. Look up there. Reverse Bear Tramp. So imagine the climactic death of the series is Jill Tuck. Hell yeah, because she deserves it. You're like, alright then, I guess. And you're always kind of fun about this. She did the exact same thing to her. Yeah! She could theoretically do what he did, but she doesn't have the balls to break her own hand. Oh, look, they're doing the fast spinning camera thing. This is so funny. Say it, he wants to say it. He wants to say it. Say it.  Say it. Game over. Yeah!  He's gonna kill all of the, like, law enforcement of America next.  All dead. And he's got money, guns. He's got everything.  Look at the doll, like, I'm sure you're going to burn me. I thought we had something. We've been through so much together. I love you, Hoff. They're gonna have a slow-mo of the doll burning or something. I think the image of a burning jigsaw doll could have been something, but they kind of just... Oh, man. That could have hit him. He's too cool. Oh, no, pigs! This pig! Pigs? This is the fan club. Oh, it's the guy who...  Yeah, what's the sound effect? Yeah. Man, man, man. Reveal who you are. Yeah, I was right. But why? But why? What does it have to do with anything? Why? Well, he's been mad this whole time. Oh. Plamy? Plame? He's like, seriously, me again? Yeah, he's reacting very calmly to that tape. Oh, yeah. Remember this? Literally, the end of Saw 7 is giving you more context for Saw 1. Yes. Wake up. I now baptize you. He's like, Gepetto. Is there a Gepetto in the house? They're creating a little wooden boy. Oh, that shot. Look, he's the guy who did the surgery. In the traps. Oh, my God. Remember this shit? It's Lynn Duttlein. Just like taking things in people's stomach. Oh, lord. He had to do that. Only a doctor could do this.  It was the doctor. But like, but why? So he found out Jill died and then immediately knows where Hoffman is and kidnaps him. Even though Hoffman has been evaded by all law enforcement. Yeah, but he uses his surgery skills in order to track Hoffman down. Oh. He uses his characters from sword one and two. It's the big old room. It's the meme room. The meme room. The first corpse room. Poor Lee Waddell's body still there. Yeah. Adam's dead body. Can I get married please? Oh, he's not even letting them have the saw. Bullsy. The thing is, we know for a fact that Hoffman would hack that foot off immediately. Oh, remember soul wandering? I remember. Those were fun times we had. Listen to the music. Hell yeah. Oh, the music is more... Oh! The game's over for real this time. It would be funny if he picked up his wallet right there too. Oh, I was watching. Oh, that's right. That'd be awesome.  Just ever. The end of school. See, we came full circle. It all makes sense. And they never made another one.  Dude, it was written by Patrick Melton. His name has melted it. That was never going to go. You know what you're going to get. It was entertaining. I enjoyed it.   He threw the saw at the camera. That was hilarious.   Yeah, it's weird.  Yeah. And so maybe they weren't as focused on the main character trap stuff. That was kind of weak.  The investigation is over. So it's not an investigation anymore. It's just like Hoffman escapades. I guess. And then yeah, you have a pretty weak central trap game. So it's kind of like it's... None of it feels like anyone's learning anything for any reason. It just feels like Jigsaw was annoyed.  And that was it. Yeah, exactly. You lied.  Which is something that you set up in your own book as something that was kind of dumb. I think the opening trap was funny. I think we're breaking up with you, Tina. Yeah, I liked the opening trap. I thought it was fun, but I just... What was the idea with the doctor then? That he helped look after him after he escaped and then he was like, you know what? I'll do whatever you want now, Jigsaw. Including when I'm limited to surgery. Any medical related things that I need. The reality was life in respect, so that's what a lot of them seem to know when they survive for some reason. Oh my God. But yeah, like the... Before he met Dr. Gordon, Kramer was already... Like the key was in his stomach. Like maybe he just made him swallow it, I guess. Which is kind of lame, right? To go from six, which had some promise and some good moments to then. Well yeah, we would... It's kind of hot at this point to rank this, because it's like, oh shit, I don't know. Most of them are sludgy in my memory. It does get to the point where it's hot to remember. Yeah, I think... I like this one a bit better than some of the other ones. Like this isn't the worst one for me. I like it more than three.  I like it more than two. Better than three. I think three is so bottom for me.  What? I don't care. When they present to you a conclusion and a development on top of all these other things that happened in the movies, I'm like, I don't even know if that was a thing that was made any sense at all. You do you, pal. We're watching them all back to back and I'm still having trouble.  Not to mention every... you span a year and then you're like, timeline-wise, have we moved on a year? It's like, no. Oh, we're taking it on right after? No, this is actually set several months before and after and at the same time. You're like, I'm impressed by how bold they are just via like, this parts of this is set before or even happened. You're just like, okay.  We're gonna keep going, you know? I'm not saying Jigsaw the whole time, but I guess they're implying he wasn't aware of Dr. Gordon at all? Nope, yeah. Or was he? He wasn't. No, I don't think he was. Even though he was helping since before Dr. Gordon entered the picture, he was never like, oh, what happened to that one guy that crawled away? Like, he'd never just asked about that. Remember when Amanda helping Jigsaw was a huge twist? Yeah. There's constantly other people just like, a little bit out of frame. It's gonna be like a number of other people that were helping the whole time. Making Gordon in on it the whole time is one of the funniest bits of this last movie.  Like, 12,000 tapes before he died, so just in case anything is happening, just cleanse them out. You must have a very, very detailed flowchart for all the people helping. So if this happens, then use this tape, but if that doesn't happen, then make sure you skip that tape and use tape 12. No, no, no. There's no multiple choice. It's just linear. He knows exactly what's gonna happen. Oh, remember. There's no variables. He understands the people. He's a people person. He knows that in one of these films. He just knows what people will choose, which kind of makes the whole thing redundant, doesn't it? I think it's worse. I think he says he doesn't know what's gonna happen. He just, like, looks at the probability and then is always right. That's the way to do it. This one for me only has the entertainment value of laughing at it. There's nothing in here that I think is very well done at all.  Crazy. This is what we're gonna do. Crazy. Everything to do with Chiltuck is annoying. The racists who all get killed almost seem completely irrelevant to everything.  You're like, okay. But it was a distraction because you pressed a button and the bomb went off. Oh, and same with the opening trap. That didn't relate to anything. Yeah, opening traps seem completely disconnected, too. That could have been someone else. That could have been Dr. Gordon that set that up.  It was the insurers. They were doing the similar thing. They were getting punished for the same thing. No, they were bank loans. The whole point was... But it was thematically similar. Exactly. It was bound in this one. It's just nonsense. Yeah, and then what else we got?   They need to make better traps. They need to make them more tight.  And have we never seen that in a single Saw film so far as someone trying to cheat a trap? Not really. I don't even know if Hoffman cheated that trap. That was incredible. I would like someone to cheat a trap. I don't think it counts as a trap if you were trying to just kill them. If you're just trying to kill them and they escape it, that's like double points. Not a fan of the main character in this one, even though he does come through a couple of times here and there. He still... He does rip his own teeth out. He does do the pack thing.  There's no reason why they couldn't have had him succeed in the last trap. Because that was the end. They could have just had him succeeded. But there's like, nah, the wife earns today. Here's the thing. Because it's a part of the formula is for someone to think they've almost made it and be like, oh, wow, I'm going to do it. And then it's like, oh, no, they take that away from me. They're trying to justify it creatively. I'm just saying. They know what sells and they're like, well, I guess we have to do the saw thing. I completely agree with you on this one. Saw one is kind of like, I mean, one of them may have survived the other one's dead. It's like, that's great. Saw two, Donnie Wolberg gets fucked.  Saw four, he gets killed when he did everything right. Saw five, they get out. They actually do sacrifice. He got the incredibly cruel ending. And so, yeah, it seems like this one would have been perfect for like, this was the one he managed to save out of all of them and he saved her in the way that he told her he had, but he did lie about it before. And that's like the most interesting thing that could have happened, actually. What would she say? It gets the worst of both because he does the thing. Yeah, you're right.  They were too busy trying to mess things up.  I was going to say they must have been the other survivors, but no, they have to be in on it. Fuck, I don't know who those other people are. There's something in this movie when Hoffman just walks around the police station stabbing people in the neck. Yeah, that was funny. I will admit. There's also something infinitely funny about this image where he's like birding the place out of the puppet and the background just looks like, like, I feel like we had a good thing. What are you doing this? You see my addresses in this one? I had to smash through a window, it was awesome. You wouldn't want to hurt me, would you?  Fuck, really? You kind of can, right? Because that's how they always do it. At this point, I'd have a harder time believing they stop. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah, why stop? Why now? Why stop now? In our name, just add no one else who's been dead at this point for more installments than he was alive. That's just how amazing he is. Just add more people that have been there the whole time that we just never saw. And you just keep going forever. I would love that at that point if you really led to it. You added two more people who were always there. The ones who tore Jigsaw, all of his ideas. There are more people that were helping him than weren't. They're all just off the camera in every scene. There's an entire crowd just inches away from the frame. I don't remember Jigsaw, but I remember in the case of Spiral they were making an attempt to let's do this serious. Let's get some high profile actors. Try and legitimize this because it's been a farce. I've seen Spiral and I know Adam has. I think that was the idea. Has anyone here seen Spiral accept me and Adam? I have. That'll be fun. And that idea of this is the final chapter. Let's do something maybe wholesome and thought provoking where somebody solves a trap or gets out alive and then lives their life differently. I just imagine that meme where it's like the corporate meeting room and some guy actually has a good idea that's actually good and he gets thrown out the window like that was probably Lionsgate where it's just like, no we can't do that. This is the last Saw film. We're doing the opposite. We got to double down on the gore thing because that's what we're saw. We do the gore thing every time because that's how the franchise shoots itself in the foot in that way. If you set up a lady to be killed they would be thinking like, oh if she makes it then they don't get to see the death and they're all expecting it so we can't do that. And they would just be like, really? But yeah they want to see what the death is. It's like Mortal Kombat fatalities. For Jill as a character I think it was less about killing her well maybe to the producer Mark Berg it was about killing her but it was more about like seeing the trap in action because that is the signature trap from the first film and so far everyone has gotten out of it. That's the first time we've actually seen it work so I think they thought like this is like a satisfying finally get to see it actually work it. I'm not criticizing the Jill one. I'm gunning for the pig lady getting burned. I could picture them being like we don't want to let her survive because people are here to see her die it's been set up throughout the whole movie you can't just save her. We've got this whole set piece to do.


Hello everyone, I am V. Abhishek, I have secured 79th rank all India and recently concluded civil services examination. I am before you via Shankar Academy platform to just see how to study or how to maximize our potential in the last 30 days to the prelims examination for which I will share a proper strategy and also we will delve deep in how to eliminate the options in the prelims examination. Let us just see how to utilize the last 30 days to prepare for the preliminary examination. The most important aspect of preparation is revision of current affairs. These are all the subjects that we need to have a deeper insight, polity. Polity is very important because at any given instant we will be having 5 to 10 questions in polity. Economics and agriculture, these are the two subjects that are linked together have a proper fused approach to study these two subjects. Security and international relations, these are again linked because we will be having questions based on ISIS or their area of operation where international relation and security based map questions can also dominate. Schemes and reports are very important because every year we will definitely have two questions based on schemes and reports. For all these current affairs material you can follow Shankar Ayes Academy's IS Parliament portal previously prepared all materials which will come handy in case of last moment revision. We will now move into static subject revision. Geography is a very important subject considering UPSC. For geography prepare NCRTs 11th and 12th standard and in 12th standard focus only on India people and economy and not on the other book. This India people and economy gives you a proper orientation about geography especially about Indian geography. Certificate of physical geography is needed for general understanding of geographical features and landforms. Map based question as I said previously, map based question is essentially linked to international relations. Focus maps that were recently in Oog especially in the Hindu newspaper and also in various current affairs based materials. History. History we have ancient, medieval, modern and art and architecture. For ancient India utilize the old NCRT textbook in which instead of going through all the other concepts available focused most on the Gandhara Mathura and other art and architecture, literature, science and technology like the Gupta metallurgy and other base subject. Religion. Architecture. These are generally available based on the Harappan architecture or architecture of the ancient South India, ancient North India, Nagaradraveda and Vesara architecture and cultural development. In cultural development the philosophy is one of the most important which is available in the ancient NCRT textbook. For medieval India, Pala, Rashtrakuta, Chora and Mughal administration is the most important. We can have terms from the medieval Indian history especially like the various category in which Chora divided their nation like Valanadu, Mandalam or Mughal administration like Bhukthi. So we can have all kinds of terms that are available in the medieval India and also the entry of European powers like Portuguese, Danish, Dutch, English all the powers that entered India during the medieval India and Bhakti Sufi movement they are very important. For modern India it is very simple, focus on the old NCRT and spectrum summary that is more than enough for the preliminary examination. Pallati, Lakshmigant is very important in which give more focus for the fundamental rights that is part 3, DPSP and fundamental duties along with that focus on the parliament and the state legislature that is available and judiciary with all these concepts give importance to the constitutional and non-constitutional bodies. Environment one step solution for all environment based question is Shankaray's academy book plus recent current affairs especially climate change. Economics Shankaray's academy book for generic concepts and economy and key concepts given by Shankar Ganesh sir plus focus on GST and other current affairs. Apart from that one of the most important part of the preliminary preparation is attending a number of test question papers that are available to us solving the question paper and checking whether we are getting more than 100. Please have 100 plus scores in all these test question papers as a benchmark so that definitely we will end up getting more than 110 in the preliminary examination. Now, let us just see how to eliminate the given options to 01 answer. This is because in UPSC for most of the question we may not be exactly knowing the answer for which elimination technique is the most important. Let us just take this question that was available in the civil services examination 2018 preliminary paper which of the following has have immensely dried up. This is the most important key term in this particular question. RLC, this is a known fact because that is the most dried up lake in the entire planet. Now, let us move to the other question paper. So, one should be there. We can eliminate B and C. Either it should be one or it should be one and three. We will take Lake Bickel. In newspaper this term was invoked that Lake Bickel is shrinking but the question is immensely shrunk and Lake Bickel is one of the most largest freshwater so by any chance this might have not dried up. So, we can directly 0 in answer A which is the actual answer. We will move to the next question from the same question paper. Regarding Woods dispatch, which of the following statements are true? Grants in eight system was introduced. Establishment of universities was recommended. English as a medium of instruction at all levels of education was recommended. These are the three options that are being given to us. Let us just take the third point. Considering the literacy levels at 1850 or 1830s when this was invoked, this can never be a proper answer. English at a medium of instruction at all levels could not have been recommended because there were no proper English teachers available. So, considering this as a logic, we can eliminate the third option, zeroing one and two as the answer. So, there is no need for us to know all the three options. Just eliminate the option that is somewhat little absurd to the given question and give the other two as the answer. Now, we will move to a digital India, which is one of the most favorite part of the preliminary examination also for the mains. The question is which of the following is or the aim or aims of digital India plan of government of India. Formation of India's own internet companies like China did. See, India is a democracy. China is somewhat like a dictatorial ship. So, since India is a democracy, India will never go for its own company like China did. So, we can eliminate this option. Automatically, option A and option D goes off. Let's see the option three. Connect many of our villages to internet and bring Wi-Fi to many of schools, public places and tourist centers. Definitely, this will be true because that's what essentially the Bharat net is doing, Bharat net, rail wire are doing this. So, this should be an answer. So, three, we have both option, three in both B and C. We will move to two. Establish a policy framework to encourage overseas multinational corporations collect big data to build data center within geographical boundaries. This can affect the cloud storage that is being given at present. And apart from that, only recently B and C Krishna committee has recommended something similar to this. Whereas digital India is a little older plan. So, definitely with this logic, three should be the only available answer and three is the answer. Now, we will move to a policy question. Which of the following are regarded as main features of rule of law? Limitation of powers, yes, limitation of power is the most important in rule of law and that is actually democracy and judiciary. Equality before law, which is the article 14 of the Indian constitution. People's responsibility to the government, liberty and civil rights. In a democracy, it is actually the vice versa. Government is responsible to people and not people are responsible to government. So, directly we can eliminate the option three. Limitation of powers should be included because there is like a basic. So, option C should be the answer. There is no need for us to look for any other options. Just see, three will be eliminated. One should be included. So, one to four is the answer. Which of the following is or the possible consequence of heavy sand mining in river beds? Decrease salinity in river, pollution of groundwater, lowering of water table. So, pollution of groundwater is the most important, negative impact of sand mining. So, two should be there. So, A and C automatically goes off. Either it should be two and three or one, two, three. So, three is automatically there because it is there in both option B and D. Decreased salinity in river. It is a known fact that heavy sand mining will always lead to negative impact. River is already pH neutral or it is a freshwater. So, a negative impact will be like increased salinity. So, in any given fact this option is wrong. So, answer will be two and three that is B. So, with this I conclude the basic approach that is there for the preliminary examination. I suppose everybody will be doing this and all the best for the examination.


Thank you for attending this session on social inclusion through advocacy and change to Cleveland case studies. Today's speakers will be Jessica Wobig, Vellison, and Laura Syrocki. Jessica Wobig is an architectural historian with more than a decade of experience. They're based in Cleveland, Ohio and work as a cultural resources consultant. In 2010 their career began as an AmeriCorps member with the Cleveland Landmarks Commission. Today they carry on their service by providing professional volunteer services to underrepresented communities facing urgent preservation needs. Vellison is an advocate for LGBT plus rights and community leader. Vellison has cultivated a burlesque and drug entertainment industry for more than 19 years in Cleveland, Ohio. This year they were recognized as the top 24th performer in the world. Their indigenous Mexican ancestry inspires their creative works as well as their advocacy for heritage conservation. Vellison became aware that club Azteca was proposed to be replaced by new mixed-use construction. They moved to action by providing research, planning, and outreach support to the club Azteca Coalition and are working on further conservation efforts including archiving the club's collection. Laura Syrocki is a Hesler resident for more than 20 years. Laura has applied her expertise in botany as an educator cook and gardener at Hannah Perkins School in Shaker Heights since 2000. In 2021 the first demolition and infill construction was planned for her historic district. She took action by organizing advocacy campaigns for historic preservation along with the Hesler Coalition and brought attention to the urgent need for increased preservation planning in University Circle neighborhood. Today's objectives will be to explore how implicit bias affects the development process and preservation practice. We'll be examining two case studies, the Save Club Azteca and Key Hesler Historic Campaigns. We'll seek to understand how local preservation processes affect social inclusion outcomes. We'll be applying methods for heritage conservation that promote social inclusion and local preservation and the real estate development process. And lastly we'll be discussing next steps organizations to support and sharing out.  I would like you to spend about 10 seconds exploring and observing and looking and seeing this blue dot. Pay attention to how you feel, things you observe and what you see. Much like history, when you look and see a blue dot and you're told to look and see a blue dot that is all you're observing. Some of you may have spent the last 10 seconds wondering to yourself, why is she asking me to look at a blue dot? Others may have noticed the shade of the blue dot that has a slightly different outline and that is not necessarily within the center of the screen. Heritage is wide and spans a diverse audience. All of us come with our own cultural bias and observations and histories. Much like the blue dot, history asks us to look and see more than just one central idea. To understand that purpose, we have to sit back and ask, what is real estate development? Real estate development is a business process. It builds new buildings, it removes historic buildings, and it often leases existing buildings. Whereas historic preservation is an endeavor that seeks to preserve historical significance. Historic preservation overlaps with real estate development because we try to save and preserve buildings. However, there's a different aspiration when we come to our own implicit bias. An implicit bias is a form of bias that occurs automatically and unintentionally. It's in all of us, we all carry it from different angles. It affects our judgments, decisions, and behaviors. Not only is real estate development and historic preservation activities that we do that require our judgments, decisions, and behaviors, but with that we carry an implicit bias on how those things get done. And today our session asks that we apply social inclusion, which is a process for improving the enhancing opportunities with access to resources of voice and respect for rights of underrepresented groups. When it comes to the practice of historic preservation and our overlapping relationship with real estate development, we must overcome our own implicit bias by acknowledging that exist and then seek to ask within our own communities and in our own endeavors, are there social inclusion processes within what we're doing? Because in order to succeed as historic preservationists, we must ensure that we're connecting underrepresented groups with the same resources that we ourselves as historic preservationists have. Jesse Jackson, a politician and civil rights activist, has been quoted as saying inclusion is not a matter of political correctness. It is the key to growth. And with that idea, we're asking historic preservation that in real estate development we're seeking to grow opportunities and access and improve the quality of lives for our own communities. So it's not an idea of being politically correct or not when we're talking about applying processes like social inclusion to our work. It's how we grow, it's how we thrive, and it's how we ensure that the same opportunities are presented within our own greater communities. Development projects include need, opportunity, resources, and an effective place. That effective place, and our purpose as historic preservationists, is a historic resource. The stakeholders involved may be the developer, the agency, either a funding agency or permitting agency, advocates either for or against the project, and again that silent voice of the affected historic place. Influential factors in these projects include media and public engagement. So not only what's being shared, but how it's being shared and received. The ownership of that property, if it's a private resource, is the owner willing to ensure that social inclusion is being considered as part of this real estate development. The condition and economic surrounding the care of this historic resource are also pivotal in how real estate development is carried out within historic preservation. For underrepresented groups, this means that disinvestment within communities has often presented preservation as a hindrance to progress due to the condition of resources, in many cases beyond the control of the underrepresented groups being affected by these developments. Other influential factors include policy. Are there policies in place that require social inclusion to be considered as part of a development? The intention of the agency or developer, the perception of is it politically correct or not to carry this out, and the support either to save or remove a resource often depends on the voice that is being presented at the table. That's where historic preservation comes in. Historic preservation can lead social inclusion and real estate development. The sphere of influence has been long and laid out since historic preservation has resources and knows how to move agencies and advocates together and how to support developers in preserving historic places. Ultimately historic preservation can help raise up the voice and ensure that social inclusion is applied into real estate development. As this figure presents the city of Cleveland, the gold circles are national register listed properties and the black circles are the local landmarks. As you'll see they're clustered within the center of downtown, which is at the top middle of the screen, and they extend west to east along with a commercial corridor. Many of these designations resulted from the need to apply for federal funds or incentives, such as historic real-buildation tax credit. If it wasn't for federal incentives that helped incentivize historic preservation, many of these designations would not be on this map today. But you'll see that local designations are slightly farther out into the neighborhoods, but they're still largely clustered around this commercial area. So what that shows us is that a large geography of this historic city, which has more than 100 years of development, is absent from designations. In Cleveland, there's 360,000 plus people, of which 34.2 percent identify as white alone in comparison to the 59.3 percent who identify white alone at a national level. 11.9 percent identify as Hispanic or Latino in Cleveland. This is compared to the 18.9 percent who identifies Hispanic or Latino at a national level. Of the more than 90,000 historic properties that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places, less than 8 percent represent Black, Indigenous, and people of color, or other underrepresented groups, including women. In Cleveland, there's currently 345 landmarks that are standing today, of which 29 historic districts also stand. None of those historic designations represent historical Latino heritage in Cleveland, and none of them represent social achievements such as those carried out in the mid-20th century on Hesla Road. This call to action will provide you with two case studies where leaders within the district of Cleveland, and the historic preservation community in Cleveland, have moved social inclusion as part of preservation within real estate development projects. Hola, me llamo Belacine. I became aware of the Ezeca Club project through the Young Latino Network and the Comet de Mexicano. This landmark has been in Cleveland for quite some time, and there was a multitude of people trying to save it, but there seemed to be no unison in voice, and that's where me and Jessica Wobbing came in. The club was located in 5602 Detroit Road, and it also was known as Casa Mexico, which was one of the central locations that organized in the 1920s. Felix Delgado was the first president of the club. When it was purchased, the building was on Detroit Avenue. In 1951, it was rehabilitated and opened its doors in 1957. This put Latino history in the forefront in the city of Cleveland. Not only Mexican American history, but the history of Puerto Ricanos and Cubanos in Cleveland offered. We connected with the Latinos in conservation there to come to find out that we were present as early as the late 1800s in Cleveland as Latinos through farming communities in the Bracero movement, which touched Lorraine. The significant representation of American Latino heritage in the immigrant stories were abundant, and they had a multitude of people involved in our community from oral stories, sharing through different websites online, and also just families sharing stories from both the Puerto Rican and the Mexican community with each other. It created access to heritage conservation in a connection to education, training, and employment opportunities within the field. Also, it grew historic preservation perspectives to include heritage conservation here in Ohio that is looking pretty dim at the moment because we haven't touched on the idea of historic preservation and heritage conservation within one bout. When we got involved with the Osaka project, we knew we were fighting an upheld battle that already was what it was going to become, which was a educational campaign to try to save any piece of the building. Our timeline went from Waverly and Oak Development publicly announced following several years of planning and development of the site on 2421. The community rally happened on 2421. The landmark's conceptual design happened in 22521. The landmark's approval was on 4821. The building documentation was 6121, which when we entered the building documentation, we found a 20-foot Mexican flag that was hand-painted in stone that used to be used for the celebrations of Cinco de Mayo and the Mexican Independence Day. Flag dated circa 1930s and was prepared for proper storage by the Pivot Center Intermuseum Conservation Association, ICA, on 71321. This discovery held for us the meaning of where are these things now and can we start something in conversation with our local governments, councilmen, about social justice and heritage preservation. An anticipated discovery was the sign recovered on 8121, the day of the clean-out for the building for the Casa Mexico sign that once hung at the Ezeca Club. That sign predates into 1930s. Club Esteca demolition happened on 10-14-21. One of our main goals was facadesism, preserving the face of the building and hopefully building around it, but unfortunately we were not so lucky. We received a large amount of support from different groups from the Comité Mexicano, the young Latino network, Nikki Antonio, our state senator, and there were many accounts in the media of trying to save this Mexican landmark. When we pushed forward to try to recognize that we have been here and we will always be here, it put forward the thought process of what other history is here from Mexican individuals. Once diving into this, we come to find that it's more than just the Club Esteca. It was the whole of the Latino community as Club Esteca served as the landing mark for people that needed aid. They were Latino and spoke Spanish. When the Puerto Rican migration started, they were here to help them aid them and help develop their neighborhoods as well as the Cuban migration. More baracedo movement members started coming and staying, and the Mexican community started flourishing even through the 1930s of the Repatriation Act. When we're talking between the 1915s and the 1960s, Latinos exploded in the United States, and Ohio was no different, but nobody was talking about the preservation efforts. The discovery of the flag was something that I can only express into tears as a Mexican national. Finding our flag in foreign cities, especially when it was made by our people, is extremely rare, especially in this size to find something this large. But these things belong in a museum. Now forward, we're moving into the discussion of what this preservation and rediscovery comes through the outcome that we had. So partnerships, we formed partnerships with the Esteca Coalition. Multiple different organizations joined together and merged to be part of each other. So it was Club Esteca, Comita Mexicano, the Mexican American Historical Association of Cleveland was created, and it's currently working on putting forward the Mexican American history in Cleveland. We started talking about preserving projects, including building documentation, Ohio History Marker collection of digitization and archival efforts to not lose our history again. We're trying to work with different agencies on this, but the work is slow, and we're still trying to connect with anybody that will be willing to hear us. A potential of Latino Heritage Museum of Cleveland. This is the ultimate goal. One of the biggest conversations we've been having with people is this is not just something that we donate to our local museums here, because those museums are still buried in institutionized whiteness, and it's not accessible to Latino people. So us being able to also be our own storytellers and our own preservers and our own educators of our own history is incredibly important, especially when we talk about social justice and preservation. This is incredibly important because a lot of people learned that we have been here and we were not trying to just take space here. We were trying to educate people into understanding that Mexican communities have been here for a very long time, and we were sewn into the fabric of the city. We're hoping that continuing to present things like this will have a thinking cap in all the individuals that watch it, and say what can I do to help this be of fruition? What we can access to go ahead and have this become part of our community? The African American Museum exists, and so can a Latino museum exist? We see these in communities like LA and Chicago. Often the pushback is that we don't have that type of community here, but that's where I beg a differ. How we embrace a whole of Cleveland, not just parts of it, because in the end of the day, telling the stories of everybody that took hand into building the city is what we should be doing as historians, not just choosing and picking history from a building that held, once upon a time, a community of people that were challenging everything that was happening to just make the American dream possible. My name is Laura Soraki, and I am not a preservationist. I am a resident in Cleveland's first historic district. I've been living there for 24 years, and it's a quaint little brick and woodblock road in an arts, eds, and meds district, and for 50 years the land has been very desirable to the institutions around it, and we've kind of lived in this little historic district under constant pressure because of that, because of the value of the land. So the historic district I live in is called the Hesler Court and Hesler Road Historic District, and it was designated as Cleveland 1st Landmark District in 1975 by a group of architecture students at the nearby university who saw the value of the district for a couple of reasons, because it represented one of Cleveland's first middle-class neighborhoods in this traditionally very wealthy area called University Circle. Traditionally on Hesler we have a street fair called the Hesler Street Fair, which was started to bring awareness in 1969 to the district, which was being ignored by the city and eventually would probably have been demolished had it not been for this group of students and some committed residents who actually before they even got the district designated a historic district decided that preservation needed to be a priority in Cleveland and work together to get the landmarks department implemented in City Hall, so you could sort of essentially say that the preservation movement in Cleveland started on Hesler Road. Concurrently with preservation work there was a large tenants union movement and affordable housing and safe living condition movement to hold landlords accountable in the district. It sort of became apparent in the 70s that the largest local landlord was who was a representative of the institutions was allowing their properties to go to demolition by neglect and that's when the students and residents living in the district said we have to stop this and ask for a safer living conditions and preservation and so from fast forward from 19 the mid 70s to the present the district has remained largely unchanged. It's been a haven for artists, musicians, students, students, art students and music students and then students at the local university and sort of it's been occupied by a combination of long-term residents who created a housing cooperative in the early 80s in order to maintain affordable housing and students and the housing on Hesler is actually still pretty affordable relative to the rest of the university circle where for the most part all the historic and affordable housing has been demolished for the expansion of institutions so we Hesler is sort of the last remaining affordable housing in the district and Hesler represents a I would say an area that has been able to hold on to its housing. We have linked arms actually with surrounding communities both Little Italy and the Wade Park and Magnolia Historic District just outside of Hesler a traditionally African-American district to try to hold the institutions accountable and ask for responsible expansion and not at the sake of our communities. We became threatened this let's see I'd say a year ago in February of 2021 with a high end market rate housing development a micro unit apartment development in the historic district so in January of 2021 I received an email from the local institution that manages the development in university circle that there would be a development coming to Hesler Road and naturally I panicked because it's a tiny historic district and it's very fragile has a 115 year old infrastructure and getting a taste of the development around university circle I knew that it probably wasn't going to be affordable and likely wouldn't fit within the district and sure enough on February 10th the developers and the CDC the local CDC hosted a Zoom presentation and revealed their plans to build a 26 micro unit apartment building in the backyard of a historic home in the district the meeting was held in webinar format there were 50 or so participants none of whom we could tell who they were we we there were some residents president president on zoom um we knew by the the comments and question or the questions they were answering in and asking in the um q and a but we couldn't see or hear each other and we had no idea who the other there were about 15 residents and property owners um tuned into the meeting and the rest of the people in the meeting we had no idea who they were except the panelists so it was a presented to us as a done deal and naturally we gathered and linked arms we raised a lot of ruckus and we asked our council person to help us out we reached out to the landmarks department we reached out to our city planner um we tried to create some kind of awareness about the fragile nature and the historic um significance of our fight for affordable housing and safe housing on hessler and pushed for more pushed to have a voice in in the development process which was coming at us at a rapid pace um it became clear pretty quickly that there was very little we could do in spite of 1500 petition signatures and 70 letters of opposition to the development um and we felt very isolated in our fight and and misunderstood because of I would say maybe a local urbanist movement to to have development in cleveland at all costs and so we um we were feeling pretty weighed down and not making any headway in in the design review process and in the landmarks commission reviews until on social media we had a couple of preservationists reach out to us and I had no awareness of preservation work really preservation as a career or a preservation movement I lived in a historic district that I cared very deeply about I was able to live there because um you know I'm working class and I would not have been able to afford to live there had it not been for the people before me who fought for the housing cooperative to keep rent affordable there um so I was living and enjoying this very living in and enjoying this very peaceful community um with my other well working class and middle class neighbors and um the bubble sort of popped when when the development was presented to us I would say there was a lot of pressure to get the development approved it was political and though a lot of people behind the scenes told us that they disagreed with the development as it was proposed in our historic district um they couldn't say anything because of their relations within the city and it's the the way it would jeopardize them if they spoke up on our behalf so we were left alone a lot until um Jessica Wobig and Preservation Ohio reached out to us and because they had caught wind of our struggle on social media and when the preservationist reached out to us it was the first time we really felt understood it was for the first time we weren't just being told we were nimbies opposing development and getting in the way of progress um somebody there were preservationists there who understood our social and historical struggle they understood the fragility of the district they understood how jeopardized our um our lifestyle would be they understood the significance of our street fair which it we call it a 50 year old street fair but in the struggle to save and preserve Hasler we found out that it's actually much older than than 50 years old dates back all the way to 1949 and well and maybe further um we also found out through the struggle a lot more history about Hasler we learned that there was a long history of artists designers architects musicians and writers living on the living in in the area um and we had learned that they planned uh development in the late 20s and they were all going to move off of Hasler together so they could have a community an artist community nearby and actually that community did get developed um but the people on Hasler stayed they didn't move off of Hasler together in the 20s um but it was it's been an interesting um journey learning about the history of Hasler and and though it has this sort of identity as being a hippie kind of 1969 counterculture place it's actually a much older counterculture place I guess what we started to do in working with Jessica and working with Preservation Ohio is get some language and figure out ways to get attention for the district and we quickly learned through our struggle that not only was Hasler jeopardized but pretty much all historic districts and historic buildings in Cleveland don't have the kind of protections afforded them by the landmarks ordinance so we linked arms with with preservationists and other his other neighborhoods around Cleveland and have started a sort of city-wide movement to bring awareness to preservation issues throughout Cleveland as they relate to architecture but also to social history and we're in as it stands now the the um on Hasler the developer did not renew his variances for the micro unit apartment building though he's keeping the parcel that he created out of the backyard of a historic home open for development um and we are just asking to be involved in the process to be brought to the table about what goes on in terms of development in and around the district and we're asking for preservation plan and in doing all of this work and connecting with other neighborhoods around the city in historic districts and outside of historic districts we're finding out that there are people who want to preserve their heritage architectural and cultural heritage all over the city and slowly little by little we're trying to get to work with the city and get the planning department and the landmarks department to understand the value of um these pockets of culture and history and Cleveland and why it's important to preserve those um it's uphill battle but I think the thing that we have gained is we have a team we have a kernel of a movement um we have we are giving voice to people who have not ever had a voice we are reaching out to people who for example have a historic buildings and their neighborhoods that want to get preserved um and we're we're trying to you know say to the city and and to the powers that be that um though we are grassroots and and maybe we don't bring the kind of financial resources to the table that developers and large institutions bring to the table we are what makes Cleveland Cleveland and snuffing us out will be to the detriment of the city in the long run um and so you know it's we're working it's it's happening it's it's difficult it's tiring I know I don't have to I know the preservationist all know this work is hard um and um but we have each other we have a lot of diversity and we have passion and once we find each other I think we can shift the way preservation is done in Cleveland now that you've heard the stories of clubba's tecca and hessler road and the fight to preserve Cleveland's heritage in your communities examine social inclusion policies either existing or where needed go ahead and ask your certified local government your city your municipality or even your state historic preservation office what social inclusion policies are available to help you preserve your communities or uplift and encourage the preservation of underrepresented histories we hope you understand from this that local preservation processes are structured and affected by social inclusion outcomes this means that we must take action to ensure that social inclusion is applied to historic preservation we ask that you demand methods for heritage conservation that promote social inclusion and local preservation and the real estate development process these methods are already available through tools that have been practiced in historic preservation for more than 50 years lastly we ask that you monitor available resources and opportunities and share out within your community together network together we're able to do more if you'd like to help support some organizations that are working in Cleveland the Comita Mexicana de Cleveland was founded in 2016 to promote Mexican art and culture identifying services that will help support Mexican residents and support academic and social research related to Mexican community in the greater Cleveland and northeast Ohio area donations are welcome for the Jardin Mexicano a new Mexican cultural garden in the Cleveland cultural gardens young latina network founded in 2002 by a group of hard-working and forward-thinking young latina professionals and powers the latino community through leadership development and civic engagement joining join as a latinx member and ally membership is available if you are interested in learning more about Hesler and the work we're doing to keep Hesler historic you can visit the web at www.heslerstreet.wordpress.com and there's a link to our change.org petition we're still collecting signatures there and you can read a little bit about Hesler and connect with us if you have any questions Dr. Stephanie Ryberg Webster with the Love and College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University stated recently in an article that crafting and inclusive preservation requires understanding and changing the use a distribution of power within the field it means acknowledging the preservationists are not powerless idealist and that through their work they have the power to undermine progress towards a more just society or preferably to uplift and shine a light on the full story of our community's cities and nation
