      The Silence Of The Lambs--The Ultimate Madnessmadness

      After taking the time to read the last remaining part of this series, "Hannibal", I have a new understanding of the entire series.

      The Silence Of The Lambs--Marginalized Justice

      Where is the justice in the film? In Sterling's heart. Where is Sterling's position? In "Silence of the Lambs", she is a used intern, weak and helpless; in "Hannibal", she is a tainted police officer who has been excluded and framed, still weak and helpless.

      However, in "Silence of the Lambs", Sterling insisted on searching...

      some confusion

      After watching the movie, I was a little confused.
      1. The title of this film is The Silence of the Lambs, but apart from the heroine's childhood memories, there is nothing in line with the title, and the silent and closed side of human nature cannot be seen throughout the film. Perhaps changing the name to something related to butterfly or transformation is more relevant.
      2. When the heroine entered the cell, the doctor reminded repeatedly not to bring any sharp objects, and then we...

      Demon Gentleman,

      Demon Gentleman,
      - Character Analysis of Hannibal in "The Silence of the Lambs"

      Preface: Before watching "The Silence of the Lambs" for the fourth time, I was chasing an American drama - "Hannibal". In the United States, the "Silence of the Lambs" series of books is widely circulated as a well-known reading similar to "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai". Therefore, the resulting film and television works all tacitly assume that the audience at least knows the general story, which...

      Childhood memories are collective memories for everyone. Can't see the end of redemption. A large number of close-ups of the front and bottom light framed the ferocious face of dear Mr. Hopkins after endless vicissitudes, and fell to the ground on Huo Lao. The classmate Jodie Foster, who seems to specialize in playing tough women, completely compares it. PS: Another Palme d'Or...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Anthony Hopkins only appeared in the film for 16 minutes, becoming the shortest performance to win the Oscar for Best Actor.
    A skull appears on the butterfly in the film poster. If you look closely, you can find that the skulls are actually 3 naked women (7 in another version) . They were inspired and photographed by Dali’s paintings with Philip Halsman. The photographs from 1951 are very similar.
    The film said that Clarice majored in...

    Breakthrough in narrative

    "The Silent Lamb" is a classic that has profoundly reflected the problems of social crime in the United States since the 1990s. The film story inherits the tradition of Hollywood horror films, but the film's narrative method has broken through the horror film mode. It is quite ingenious to combine horror films and detective films into one. Although the film’s scene setting is dominated by a closed indoor environment and lacks fierce...

    Use of film language

    The film has a very good use of film language. This film is not only a detective film but also a psychoanalytic film. In the film, the director used a lot of space to show the inner world of the characters and discuss the psychological processes of the characters, and the dark camera processing, superb music use and non-positive performance of the violent scenes add a thrilling and tense atmosphere to the film. , Its use of artistic...

    Art is praised

In addition to the creation of an atmosphere of horror, the social...

    Role-building

    In the film, the performance of the actors is also extremely good. Judy Foster once again demonstrated her outstanding acting talent, and created a brave and tenacious female agent image. She vividly demonstrated the emotional and psychological changes of the characters, making the characters more vivid and touching. The performance of Anthony Hopkins, who plays Dr. Hannibal, can be said to have reached the extreme of performing arts....

    Movie quotes

    • Clarice Starling: The wig, the dress, the makeup. Raspail was a transvestite?

      Hannibal Lecter: In life? Oh, no. Garden-variety Manic Depressive. Tedious, very tedious. I did not kill him I assure you just tucked him away, very much as I found him, after he'd missed three appointments.

      Clarice Starling: If you didn't kill him, who did?

      Hannibal Lecter: Who can say? Best thing for him, really, his therapy was going nowhere. No, just think of him as a fledgling killer's first attempt at transformation.

      Clarice Starling: What do you mean fledgling killer? Do you mean he's killed again?

      Hannibal Lecter: I've been in this room for eight years, now Clarice, and I know they'll never let me out, not while I'm alive. What I want is a view where I can see a tree, or even water. I want to be in a federal institution far away from Doctor Chiltern. I'll help you catch him, Clarice.

      Clarice Starling: You know who he is, don't you? Tell me who decapitated your patient.

      Hannibal Lecter: All good things to those who wait. I've waited, but how long can you and Jackie-boy wait? Our little Billy must already be looking for that next special someone.

    • Hannibal Lecter: That is very slippery of you, Agent Starling.

    • Dr. Frederick Chilton: I keep him in here.

      Clarice Starling: If Lecter thinks you're his enemy, maybe we'd have better luck if I went in by myself.

      Dr. Frederick Chilton: You could have mentioned this in my office and saved me the time.

      Clarice Starling: Yes, but then I would have missed the pleasure of your company.
