First Cybil said that to Rose when they were in the church, preparing to go out and look for Sharon. At the end Rose said that to Dahlia, as Krist said.Video Gamer wrote:They both said it. Rose, at the time you just mentioned, and Cybil, at some point, before or at the point where she and Rose meet that girl...Ugh, I always forget her name.

...Damn. I feel bad, remembering her just for that scene.
Well, I remember she was looking for food, too. =/
I liked the whole movie, so I liked Cybil as well. Very well played.

I thought Cybil was trying to stop Rose from going to Silent Hill, because eveybody who she spoke to nearby kept telling her she didn't want to go there, and I figured Cybil had heard stuff too and was trying to keep her out. Then after that, of course, Rose was speeding.
Where we're from, the birds sing a pretty song, and there's always music in the air.

I disagree. That would only exacerbate the situation between husband and wife. I did not think Chris seemed altogether surprised that Rose did what she did.JRamirez35 wrote:It's been debated on IMDb that Chris possibly put out a kidnapped child alert on Sharon. Once Cybil ran Rose's plates, she would have seen that and had ample reason to pull her over.
Plus, Cybil's handling of the situation indicated to me that her suspicions were based mostly on intuition. Surely, if there were such an alert posted, Cybil was ignorant of it. She simply assumed that Rose was going to Silent Hill to possibly retry what her mentioned crazy guy tried once before. Also, when Rose said that she was Sharon's mother, Cybil clearly wasn't ready to accept that at face value. If there were an alert, she likely would have believed it.
I watched the film again last night, and I thought it was pretty clear...
Cybil has experienced kidnapped children before in that area - somebody had taken a child up to Silent Hill and put him in a mineshaft, Cybil stayed with the child for three days keeping him alive - then she overhears a very distressed sounding Sharon (who had just seen those altered drawings of hers) with a woman who doesn't resemble her (she's adopted, remember) at that time of night, so she cautiously followed them and once it was clear they were heading out Silent Hill way she pulled them over to ask a few questions...
Seemed quite reasonable to me. A good bit of character development too.

I don't think the role was perfect, because nothing is perfect.
But Cybil was acted pretty damn good!
I wouldn't change anything either!

Wasn't her name Anna?Video Gamer wrote:They both said it.

The way they portrayed Cybil was perfect, but her death was pointless. I mean, we already understood that cult = evil. they really didn't need to rub it in by having them follow through with burning her, i mean, we were already aware that they burn people they suspected of being a witch, actually having them "prove" it was a little overboard. At that point i was thinking "Ok...They burn people. Got it. The town was burnt cause of their witch-burnings. Got it. they STILL burn people. GOT IT. ...Let's move on, shall we?"
I felt worse about Cybil's death than Alessa's years of pain, simply because Cybil didn't even have to be there in the first place, she chose to help Rose and ended up dying because of it.

You know, not all West Virginians are buck-tooth, inbred hillbillies like everybody labels us, so don't go saying it's because she's a redneck. : (
If anything, I actually live in the area Silent Hill is located (small town in the Eastern Panhandle---right next to the mountains) and we don't go attacking every foreigner and stranger that comes through.
Anyway, Cybill does state her concern for Sharon because of the incident that occurred a few years back (the child that was snatched from a gas station, not unlike the one Rose was just at, and taken to Silent Hill and dumped into a mine vent)

Cybil was a police officer. Its her job.Zerosignal wrote:The way they portrayed Cybil was perfect, but her death was pointless.

I felt worse for Alessa because she was tormented, raped, and burned alive. Cybil was a great person, and that scene was pretty horrible, but what Alessa went through was much worse.
Then again, at least she got her revenge.

I more meant before she got all corrupted. She used to be an innocent little girl, and what those people did to her turned her into something much worse.JRamirez35 wrote:Alessa isn't totally innocent. She also killed Anna (who was born in the alternate dimension, and therefore had nothing to do with Alessa's torment or burning), and destroyed the lives of both Chris and Rose so she could have a new mommy without being forced to return to our world.
And to be fair, Anna was throwing rocks at Alessa's mom. If I was an evil demon-like entity, I probably would have done the same thing.
That, and Anna was no different than the rest of the people in that cult. She probably would have just stood by and watched Cybil die too.
Or are you talking about Lisa? That would make a bit more sense actually, and if you are, you do have a point, but still. Alessa was already corrupted by then.

Actually, I was talking about Anna. I totally didn't think of Lisa at all, which would be another point.
Anna was born in the alternate dimensions and wasn't one of the people who hurt Alessa before she split her soul and created the alternate realms, so she's more innocent than the others. Then again, I'm not sure how Alessa could have taken Anna out of the Otherworld.
