Society should pay for crime

I had seen "Silence of the Lambs" before this movie, and had a very different attitude towards Hannibal. After learning about Hannibal's childhood experience and growing environment, his emotions are no longer simple resistance, fear and doubt, but even more understanding and forgiveness: a person cannot be born a murderer, a demon, or a pervert. It is this society that should really pay for the crime.

Because what we see in the background of cruel war is the cruelty, bloodthirsty and selfishness of human nature, because we didn't get the love and care we deserve in the orphanage, because we didn't get timely post-traumatic psychological intervention... In short, this is absolutely It was not a life choice that Hannibal, who grew up in a happy family, would make. It can even be said that it is precisely because of his ardent care for his sister Misha (but her dear sister was swallowed alive in front of his eyes) that Hannibal's psychological distortion and unbearable hatred were caused.

Gradually understand why seeing violent and bloody scenes, be sure to keep children away. Because children are always too innocent, too fragile, too easily influenced. Before I have formed a sound outlook on life, seeing the pictures of violence, blood, and inhumanity with my own eyes will really cause irreparable damage to the young mind. If it has been smooth sailing and calm, it will be fine. But life is not always so satisfying. Once you encounter a problem that you can't let go of, and you can't fight back with normal means, you will imitate the violence, blood, and inhumanity that you have seen before. This is evident in Young Hannibal. Because I have witnessed my sister being injured by several war criminals and used as food for survival, the only way to get temporary inner peace can the hatred in my heart be vented through similar channels. However, after dealing with all the war criminals, Hannibal finally faced himself who had made the same mistakes as the war criminals. At that time, it will become a real murderous madman, and there will be no self.

The reason for the law to punish criminals is not only to maintain social stability and harmony, but also to protect criminals and all human beings. It is no wonder that some policemen must receive corresponding psychological counseling after shooting people or killing criminals. The purpose is probably for fear of leaving some shadows on themselves.

When Hannibal was attacking the leader of the war criminals, the leader's questioning to Hannibal instantly made him lose himself (it was said that he fed the soup made by his sister when he was half-conscious) and completely forgot where he was. Where to do what, the rest is just an empty shell. too terrifying. In the past, what I saw was only the happy heart after revenge, using the way of others to heal others, but I didn't know what kind of psychological harm it brought to the parties behind. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to be quick, and in the end, only yourself will be hurt.

Gong Li plays a Japanese woman in it, Mrs. Zi, who is said to be Hannibal's aunt in terms of seniority, but both of them unfortunately lost all their family members and can only rely on each other. It can be said that Mrs. Purple is the brightest and warmest light in Hannibal's life. Because of her, Hannibal will not be cast aside on the streets. But at the same time, because of her, Hannibal learned the swordsmanship and cruelty of the Japanese samurai, and used it as a weapon to open up his own path of revenge. In other words, Mrs. Zi's light is still too weak, and the love given by Mrs. Zi is not enough, or, Hannibal's feelings for his sister are too deep-rooted, and the damage he suffered during the war can no longer be recovered. Therefore, love is already in Hannibal's heart. There is no opportunity for performance. Even love must be spared after all hatred has been removed.

China cannot make such a film. Because the values ​​are too single, because it is not allowed to understand criminals, let alone sympathize with criminals. Either the good guy or the bad guy. Once defined as a bad person, absolutely unforgivable. But I forgot to explore why bad people become bad people, and whether society should make changes and take corresponding responsibilities. It has to be said that there are too many things to do to lead to a harmonious society, too much knowledge to be popularized, and more and more love to resolve the hatred in our hearts.

Reminds me of a movie in Europe and America called "Weakness". After watching it, I felt a warm human touch. He is also a black teenager who was abandoned and undisciplined. Fortunately, he met a kind and capable lady, a warm family, and changed the trajectory of his life since then. very nice.

Looking at people, problems, and the world in the future, it should be more tolerant. Achieve a lot.
