Laura have a lot of heart for an eight year old girl. Mary was alone alot when james wasnt visting her and laura was her companion and friend during those hard times. Mary mentioned silent hill alot when she was with Laura. Laura didn't mind Mary apparance either. When Mary was discharged Laura missed her alot and went to silent hill to find her. She is very bratty but she is also a loyal friend.
A lot of people dont know how Laura made it to silent hill to begin with. It was Eddie who gave her a ride in his van to silent hill. He was running from the police without a clue on where to go until he bump into Laura who told him she need to go to silent hill which indirectly gave eddie a place to go as well where the town ultimately get to him in the end.
5:14 This part had me laughing so hard 😂 Literally felt like a dad and his kid. James is gonna have his hands full with Laura if he does end up adopting her
Yeah, the way James handles Laura, who at first was just a bratty kid he never met, makes me understand what Mary saw in him and why she loved him so much. And how differently he could have been otherwise
Agreed, we can argue all we want about if James deserves redemption or not. There are definitely good arguments on both sides. But one thing we can all agree on is that Laura deserves a good home with a loving parent
@@msbroomstick1 When I saw that ending I didn’t thought James deserved to just go home. But, you mentioning that he should be the one taking care of Laura makes all sense. Taking care of her means taking care of someone that was important to Mary, so it’s like a redemption. Kinda makes more sense now that they are leaving together.
The scene when James hands Laura the letter gets me every single time. It's sad yet beautiful in its composition from the music, lack of dialogue, the symbolic meaning of Mary represented in the drawing & the look of complete sadness in Lauras eyes breaks me beyond words. At least both James & Laura get their closure, now they can rest
6:38 def one of my fav scenes from the remake and that scene hit me pretty hard. I love the new track there and having Mary read the letter was a great call (in the OG you just examine it to read it yourself)
I wonder if Laura was in the real world or the foggy world. Could she see the residents of Silent Hill. I don't think a little girl like her could explore Silent Hill in the foggy world
The town is, in fact, deserted. How or why is a complete mystery, but whoever goes to it is confronted with the products of their unconscious mind. The thing about Laura is that she's only a child. She doesn't struggle with guilt, trauma and personal fears the same way an adult does, so the town doesn't have a lot from her to manifest. It reminds me of how Stephen King describes the mindset of a kid being essentially the same as how our minds work when we are asleep, and Silent Hill's quiet, moody atmosphere resembles that very closely, like the bridge in between.
Laura was probably in a fog world version made for her, where everything might be very well kept, without monsters, and without the fog. Think of it as the town manifested itself to her as a giant playground for her to explore and play in (explains why there are toys in places they absolutely shouldn't be, like the isolation ward in Brookhaven). Silent Hill, contrary to what many people think, isn't deserted at all, this can be seen in the original SH2 and in SH3, especially in the hospital where the typewriters are replaced by computers, a small but vital detail revealing that the real world version is very much inhabited and is a "normal" town. Either that, or she is actually in the real world and can see James and interact with him, while other adults can't see the fog world and, by extension, James. This is less likely since she was roaming the town freely without interruptions and she was in places a kid should never be let into. Again, the isolation ward in Brookhaven is the perfect example. Do you think the hospital staff would let a kid in there? She would've been escorted off the premises as soon as she left the lobby and went deeper into the building.
Far as I know, Laura IS in Silent Hill but she doesn't carry the guilt or dark feelings that would manifest. She's trapped there like Eddie, James, and Angela but isn't in the same danger that the others are. She has her own vision of the world which is likely far more pleasant. Which is why she doesn't believe James when he says there's monsters. Or doesn't seem at all scared with the world. She's not in danger of anything but rather other people. The only way for Laura to leave is to accept Mary isn't there.. And that she is dead. Similar to James; she needs to learn to move on. Every person in Silent Hill has their deepest recesses of their mind manifested. James is in a dark and dangerous place hunted by monsters that represent James's inner wish to be punished for his actions. Pay attention to how the world around each character changes. Laura's world is much more safe, with toys and warmer hues. She's got nothing to be ashamed or guilty for.
@@adeusexmachinasilent hill isn't an abandoned town, that's only in the movies. in the game's lore, it's an actual active resort town. that's why people are always confused when it's foggy and there's no one around
I’ve always thought the town itself was consumed by the Cults experiment with Alessa and PTV (white claudia). Harry Mason is one of the few Silent Hill protagonists that has no trauma or psychological turmoil. I’ve always considered pre-Alessa/Cheryl merge that the town wasn’t abandoned. Afterwards the town got consumed by the nightmare/fog world the cult created. There’s so many bad things that have happened in Silent Hill in the past I doubt a Real World Silent Hill still exists in the current timeline.
Laura knows james, even hate him for his behaviour, means they've met several time before. But james have no idea who she is, not even "hey, she's the brat who stays in the hospital with Mary" Is this just a plot hole or is memory about laura are also part of James memories that got blurred?
Mary met james in the hospital while laura was around. She prob saw how james treated mary coldly in those visits and is why she hated james at the start until she tried understanding the letter mary gave her
God they made her so much less annoying in the remake. I always thought the “Leave” ending felt like the bad ending becase Laura was so gd hateable. This child actually feels innocent. Obnoxious, but still innocent
She looks actually quite pretty in some scenes/cuts. Usually she's more bratty than pretty though. But she's actually a good girl, so I'd even say she's the best SH girl.

Her tensing up when James mentions her parents is a good touch.
So is him calling out her bratty behavior, for that matter.
Wait james knew who Laura was ?

It's a cutscene from the original game, you blink you miss it
@@abelperez8852 lol hes lying

9:18 I love this little beat so much. You can see him thinking “wait a sec”

It’s a bit like the autopsy photo of Ted Bundy after he got executed.
Right?

probably in the foggy world but with no monsters or anything to manifest. i assume she was eventually allowed to leave and live her life.

Most children don't have monsters.
Laura seemed to be more of a scene stealer than Eddie and Angelia, which is odd
It's only odd if you get any ending besides "Leave". Otherwise, it pays off.
She looks so cute but she a little trouble maker as well
What kind of 'cute' are you talkin'?
@@jeansynklar386 They mean like a cute dog you want to pet.
easy there bro..
Dang Samus Aran use to be a brat.

I always wondered how silent hill looked like to her
Just like abandoned place with some strangers in there.

5:45 Laura "Fartface" face. Been seeing this around before the game's release.
What about it?
Dang Samus Aran used to be a brat.
Laura is so cute, I love her
Laura knows james, even hate him for his behaviour, means they've met several time before. But james have no idea who she is, not even "hey, she's the brat who stays in the hospital with Mary"
Is this just a plot hole or is memory about laura are also part of James memories that got blurred?
Laura pretty much answer it in 4:00. She met Mary several times, but never interacted with her husband.
Mary met james in the hospital while laura was around. She prob saw how james treated mary coldly in those visits and is why she hated james at the start until she tried understanding the letter mary gave her
Leaving is the best ending possible. But I wonder what Laura would do when she saw Mary's corpse on the backseat.
Maybe help James give her a burial
Love how he snaps at 3:37
12:19 James looks terrifying as hell here
What happens to Laura after the games ending? Does she died?
In the Leave ending Laura leaves with James
She probably stay in the orphanage in the other endings
@@bannguyenhuu5125And we never learn if James told her about Eddie. She called him gutless fatso, but he accompanied her in the road to Silent Hill.
Why would she die? There are no monsters in her Silent Hilll.
P.s. in leave ending, James adopted her, like Mary wanted.
We were supposed to get an answer to that in Homecoming and Elle was supposed to be an older Laura.
Evie did a great job with this role. 🙏
God they made her so much less annoying in the remake. I always thought the “Leave” ending felt like the bad ending becase Laura was so gd hateable. This child actually feels innocent. Obnoxious, but still innocent
good work
So glad theday of night made it in the game again
3:09.what a song? i know this song Prisoner Fairytale, but me interesting this new version. help please
Silent hill 2 remake ost - day of nights shadow
Laura biting the curb 4K
James*
my niece just turned 8 a couple months ago, and she is a lot more childish than Laura, guess it depends on the place or how they grow up uh??
Laura is the reason I won't have kids
James "Fartface" Sunderland
Nice 🎉🎉🎉
Does the water noises at the end imply that the in water ending is canon, not this one?
I think leave is the true ending becasue someone theory about the pictures that he was stucked in a timeloop for decades
How does Laura to be in Silent Hill all alone? :(
Either she's in his head as a symbol of a clear conscious or she's already dead & her spirit wants to reunite with Mary
@@CHRISMED2No, Laura is a real person. She just sees Silent Hill without monsters
3:00
It still annoys me how she says ‘gutless’ 😂 I just don’t think a kid would use that word.
She looks actually quite pretty in some scenes/cuts. Usually she's more bratty than pretty though. But she's actually a good girl, so I'd even say she's the best SH girl.
Laura did better in the Original than the Remake
She's older in the remake, right? Now way this is a 8-year old girl.
Maybe they used a slightly older girl for her mocap or something. She says she's 8 when James asks so she's not older in the remake
She looks 8 to me, she's just very well-spoken, which is unusual but not impossible
Why does it matter
I "hate" her actually. Fckn Bully 😂 Had the Ending where James left with her... Actress did super great ❤
Why the protagonist looks like he smelled fart spray 😂
Because he's a fartface
Guilt and depression
And alcoholism
@@nombre4138and farts
Because he's a fartface.
Well, he is a fartface.
