Small dimples are terrible

It is rare to have a long May Day holiday without overtime. After reading "Hannibal Rising", "Red Dragon", "Silence of the Lambs", and "Hannibal" in one go, I was immersed in the world of Dr. Hannibal and couldn't help myself.
"Silence of the Lambs" has been revisited for N times. This film won the best film, the best director, the best adapted screenplay, and the best actor and actress at the same time at the Academy Awards. In particular, Anthony Hopkins, the actor who won the Best Actor in a Leading Role for 16 minutes, was an ogre. 10 years later, Hollywood will put the sequel "Hannibal" and the prequel "Red Dragon" to the screen again, cannibalism is still the same, but there is no tremor from 10 years ago. This prequel, "Hannibal Rising", is the first idea of ​​Hollywood producers, and then there are scripts and novels. A completely commercial product, it is naturally inferior to the previous work. Moreover, many of the scenes that were quite shocking on the big screen 10 years ago are now commonplace, as is the case with "Basic Instinct", and so is the Hannibal series. In "Hannibal", the element of "cannibalism" has been brought to the extreme. If you want to break through, the rating of the film will be dangerous. Losing the support of the subject matter and the bloody stimulation, "Hannibal Rising" is destined to be just a B-grade film explaining past and present lives, the last leaf of the cash cow. In addition, Gong Li has successfully become a new generation of oriental vase in Hollywood, which is gratifying.
The sequel is not as good as the previous one, but there are always many people watching it, just for those familiar characters, the charm of the movie is evident.
