Good and evil lurking in everyone's life, they are the two poles of life. It is the dialectical rejection of these two poles that gives people's life tension and depth; individual life is not to achieve a utopian value bias The predetermined "good" mode is a self-inspiration, preference and choice; a handsome boy with a nightmare childhood experience, a huge hatred rooted in the depths of his soul, between good and evil, love and hate , How will he choose.

At the beginning of the film, a warm and childlike mood was shattered by a huge cannon from an air attack on an enemy plane. The Second World War broke out. In this war, the young Hannibal witnessed the deaths of all his relatives. , And degenerated from the eldest son of an aristocratic family to a dark psychological orphan; war, death, and similar killings destroyed the beauty and innocence of Hannibal's soul, and hatred tempered his dark and terrifying psychology like a devil; So in his life journey began a crazy bloodthirsty life of horror.

Perhaps the dualistic judgment standard of right and wrong, good and evil, appears to be a little innocent and weak in evaluating Hannibal’s psychological process and apparent behavior; his deformed perverted personality seems to be the root of all bloodthirsty behaviors, but it is more deeply investigated. Hierarchical factors, it was his childhood experience that created his abnormal personality. All the precipitation of his early experience is adult personality; the trauma caused by cruel wars and deaths and the loss of loved ones is like a fatal dose. The poison has been unable to dissolve in his body, so he transformed the non-existent fear, hatred, hostility and invasion into the ultimate personality existence by using poison to fight the poison. The young Hannibal struggled on the edge of love and hate, good and evil, and finally subverted all the contradictions and chaos caused by the collision of these two poles like a rebirth.

Hannibal punished the sins of the cannibals, but was unable to overcome the sins of the dead souls. Therefore, he fell from the height of the sanctioner and fell into the fiery sea of ​​purgatory. In the end, he himself became a sin. His sin stems from the love and pain in his heart that can never be compensated. There is an aesthetic appeal to death in the abnormal peace and cold smile of his blood-sword kind, but the vengeance and bloodthirsty of tooth for tooth must not be. Alleviating his sister Misha’s great suffering caused by cooking, and must not repair the naked soul trauma caused by war and death in the childhood experience, perhaps as Mrs. Purple said to him in the film: "You need to forget the memory," Sometimes memories are sharp."

In the film, the slow and restrained love between young Hannibal and Mrs. Purple makes people feel a sense of incompleteness; this kind of inconsistent love is staged in a repressive and slow atmosphere with a balance of alienation and desire. Although there are not too many skin kinships, it is difficult to conceal the fierce passion that will spew out at any time between the deliberate measures. Between love and revenge, Hannibal cannot give up revenge after all. Mrs. Purple is in Farewell to Hannibal in disappointment, tears of resentment flashed in her gloomy eyes, and the phrase "What is left in your heart for love?" tremblingly sounded in Hannibal's ears. She slowly turned away from him, and at that moment, the little light of love in the corner of Hannibal's heart gradually extinguished.

It is worth mentioning that the famous international movie star Gong Li played the role of Mrs. Purple. Although this role was not remarkable compared to her previous performances, and she showed a little lack of desire in that period of nondescript love. It is more than hypocritical, but her noble and arrogant temperament has given the role of Madame Purple a mature charm and charming style. Gaspard Ulliel, the actor of the young Hannibal, successfully portrayed this bloodthirsty demon. The evil and mysterious temperament revealed in his handsome and tough face gave people a sense of calmness. A sense of trembling and being conquered.

Hannibal Rising is the third prequel campaign about this ogre. This reversal of the chronological narrative will give rise to a sense of memory confusion and de-logical illusion; sometimes looking at this young handsome but cruel The inexhaustible Hannibal will make the image of the elderly Hannibal entrenched in his mind many years ago present a contradictory and blurred color, and will give people a false illusion, as if this is full of evil and bloodthirsty. Sexual humans and demons have indestructible life power, extending their endless life in the plots again and again, infinitely resurrected.

Although the young Hannibal has lost some of the old Hannibal’s calm and incomparable control of the overall situation in the depiction of his personality and psychology, he has added a heartbreaking sadness and weak temperament. The sense of solemnity was pushed by pain and hatred; when he saw the young Hannibal shouting his sister's name in countless sleeps, and when he saw his blood for the lover in his heart with an inviolable dignity Blade Butcher, when he sees his tears streaming down to Mrs. Purple and gently saying: "I love you", you will fall in love with this handsome and cruel boy and fall into his evil charm and temptation. The eyes and the dark and secret inner world.
