In particular, "Silence of the Lambs" was regarded as a classic by the whole world as soon as it was released that year.
It held the No. 1 spot at the North American box office for five full weeks; as a film released in February, it won the Oscars the following March, which is simply unimaginable today;
It became one of the few horror thrillers to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, and the performances of its two leads, Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins , are forever in our hearts.
At that time, many fans paid attention to Hannibal the ogre played by Anthony Hopkins , and few people paid attention to the FBI agent Clarice who connected the main line of the whole incident.
There are too many unsolved mysteries about this character.
What was her life like? How did you become an FBI agent?
These questions have not been answered for 30 years.
Today, let's talk about the new "Silence of the Lambs" spinoff, all doubts will be solved.
It is-
"Clarice"
With the endorsement of the movie prototype, the popularity of "Clarice" remains high.
Written and executive produced by Alex Kurtzman ("The Mummy," "Star Trek: Discovery"), Jenny Lumet ( "Rachel's Wedding," "Star Trek: Discovery") people.
quality assurance.
The story is set in 1993, a year after the "Silence of the Lambs" incident . Clarice returned to her hometown to deal with a new case. Because of the "Buffalo Bill" case, she became a "red man" in the eyes of reporters. fame.
But after returning to the front line of the investigation, which was dominated by men, Clarice was still questioned by her boss for her professional ability, and she even mocked her for catching "Buffalo Bill" because she was lucky.
He became a celebrity at a young age, which also caused dissatisfaction among many colleagues. Colleagues often played pranks, and the workplace was full of provocation and injustice.
In addition to the disappointment at work, a new serial killer has emerged, and the bodies of two female victims have been found in the river . Both died after being shot in the temple and then thrown away.
There are signs that this is a serial killer case, but Clarice feels that the current evidence is insufficient, and the killer's behavior is too restrained, he wants to make people think he is crazy.
The murderer's behavior is not psychotic, but must be a sociopath.
As Clarice and her colleagues go to the victim's home to conduct an in-depth investigation, Clarice discovers the clues of the case.
The dead have something in common, they have sick children at home, and they are undergoing a " drug trial" , Clarice suddenly realizes that they are all "whistleblowers" who want to expose the existence of the experiment. It was shady, but they were brutally murdered, which also proved that this was not a serial murder case, but a premeditated and targeted crime.
Then Clarice discovered that the victims had previously contacted a reporter to expose the incident, which would undoubtedly be the killer's next target.
Sure enough, when they arrived, an intruder in the reporter's home was committing murder. Clarice and her colleagues stopped the criminal in time, but the criminal refused to tell the behind-the-scenes instructions. In order to save his life, the criminal wanted to exchange terms with Clarice.
Clarice tried to communicate with her boss, but was mercilessly punched in the head by her boss.
The boss felt that only by identifying this case as a serial murder case and telling reporters that the murderer had been arrested, everything could be settled and the people's hearts were reassured. But Clarice believes that the victims are all "whistleblowers" who break the silence. It is necessary to let everyone know the truth. The victims cannot sacrifice for nothing. The meaning of their existence is to find out who is behind the scenes.
It seems to be the opposition of two viewpoints, but in fact it alludes to the current dangerous political world, and a good show has just begun...
Can she find out the real culprit behind the murder? Can she, who is regarded as a "thorn in the eye", overcome all difficulties and always stick to her inner justice?
What is worth mentioning in this play is that while the political atmosphere is turbulent, the real world is also about to come, and the nightmare of arresting Buffalo Bill still haunts Clarice. As a case solver and a survivor, she often can't sleep at night. .
Another survivor, Catherine, who was rescued in "The Silence of the Lambs", has also been reminding her of the past that she doesn't want to recall. Is the relationship between her and Catherine only between the rescuer and the rescued?
In addition, there are fragments of memories of childhood in the trailer, and Clarice will also face the shadow of childhood again. Through "Silence of the Lambs", we know that although Clarice and Hannibal both have strong appearances, they are different in their own way. environment, but are outsiders in vulnerable positions.
Clarice's situation is caused by her gender and childhood experiences. As an orphan from a small city, she has a low self-esteem. As an FBI intern in a male-dominated environment, Clarice needs to keep going. Faced with the gazes of the men around her, they had different feelings of covetousness, contempt, intimidation or flattery, which made her look like a lamb trapped in a pack of wolves.
Fortunately, Clarice has enough courage and wisdom. With the help of Hannibal, she solved the murder and proved herself. Her most valuable quality is that she always walks on the edge of good and evil but never falls into the abyss.
When the nightmare struck again, did those "lambs" in deep memory choose to remain silent and be slaughtered by others? Or will they wake up and fight back? Let's wait and see.
