all began with the scherzo in Mendelssohn's soundtrack for "A Midsummer Night's Dream".
The lively Allegro, G minor, and wood pipe show the playfulness of the fairies. Among the various subtle changes, it is like a sigh among lovers.
Parting for love? Or is it for the fragility and dying of life?
I don't want to use too much pen and ink, because we are not watching "The Silent Lamb" and the protagonist this time is not Hannibal.
The psychiatrist Hannibal stared at his dinner intently, like a beast ready to go. And our Mr. "Dinner" also seemed to perceive a different pressure from the past. The flute in his hand made several wrong sounds one after another, and the error was obvious. An ambiguous blink of an eye gave birth to the next feast.
The first chapter after the gluttonous showdown
keywords: scherzo cannibal feast showdown. Prisoner
ogre doctor entertained his friends with a meticulously cooked human flesh feast-a bunch of beasts who are keen to pick faults and talk eloquently, maybe Only the gluttonous human flesh can analyze the filthiness of their appearance, all kinds of talk and pretense, the ridicule of the host’s hospitality, the ridicule of the unfortunate flutist, it seems that everything in the world can be their nonsensical ridicule, which seems elegant. The epitaph is actually covered with moss.
After the meal, the guest left, and Hannibal packed up the leftovers of cold rice alone. At this time, the unexpected guest visited-FBI agent Will, a promising young man with golden hair and deep eyes.
During the conversation, Hannibal seemed to be in a state of exhaustion after the meal. He did not express his enthusiasm for Will's new discoveries. He just responded indifferently, but his eyes flashed with strange light. But at this time, Will did not notice. Yes, deja vu, don't be so forgetful, our Mr. Ogre looked like this at the beginning of the film.
The cookbook, ris de veau, such a delicious dish, has become the fuse of the duo's duel.
This description is to satisfy the audience's protagonist plot. In fact, I think it is the beginning of Mr. Ogre's hunt.
The sharp knife pierced under the left rib and lifted up, all movements were so skillful.
Go to sleep, as if you slowly slip into a hot tub filled with comfort. Such beautiful words make a bloody hunting become a whisper like flirting among lovers. In the world, perhaps only Dr. Hannibal respects his food so much.
It's a pity that there is not a lamb to be slaughtered under the knife. I don't want to criticize women's rights, nor do I want to slander Clarice. Compared with the heroine in "The Silent Lambs," Will is a wolverine with strong claws and sharp teeth.
After enduring the severe pain and waiting for the opportunity, he stabs the opponent with a feather arrow in the same place where he hurt himself. Will pulls out the gun hidden under his ankle and pulls the trigger until the bullet goes out. Well done.
In modern times, where do we perceive the changes in the world outside the window? Look at it with your eyes? Listen with ears. Overwhelming media bombings, newspapers, radio, television, and the Internet, wireless terminals until now, overloaded information, nutritious fast-food short messages, constantly penetrate into the brain, or rape. Sadly, the audience can't enjoy the pleasure, only brainwashing. Using only the newspaper, we learned the story that the eyes cannot see. The ogre was arrested and the agent was seriously injured; the agent recovered and the ogre was sentenced to 9 life imprisonment; the ogre served his sentence and the agent received psychological treatment .
Wait, who is in jail? Two prisoners appeared in my eyes? !
One is a cannibal criminal who violated morals and ethics and national laws, and the other is a justice messenger who self-contained in order to avoid the seamless media! Although the director was persuading me that it was a brutal crime and serious injury that forced Will to leave his post to rest, but I always believed in the unbearable facts I saw. Yes, under the public's desire for privacy, the media took advantage of the trend and forced Will to become a prisoner without chains.
(I used to be keen to analyze crime genres from the perspective of psychoanalysis, but found that I can't read movies more and more.)
Chapter 2 Red-bellied robin trapped in a cage
Keyword: sexual dysfunction, miserable childhood, deformity, faith surrender
"Various visions appeared in the sky: a woman wearing a crown of twelve stars on her head, shouting in the pain of childbirth; a red dragon with seven heads, seven crowns and ten horns, and a third of her tail. Stars, want to devour the baby that will be born before the woman..."
Compared with Hannibal, the cannibal, and John Du, who carried out the massacre based on the doctrine of the Seven Deadly Sins, Francis, the protagonist of the Red Dragon, "Tooth Fairy", looked a little pale: he killed even children, and he sexually assaulted the victim after severely wounding, etc. . From the aesthetics of violence, it seems that there is no sense of beauty at all.
However,
every time he completes the killing , he will bring the old and filthy dentures-grandmother's dentures, which are in awe;
decorate the corpse after death, replace the eyeballs with mirror fragments, the size fits. It is rigorous.
Facing the reporter Landes, he tensed the muscles of his back and showed his red dragon tattoo, which was a demonstration of the power of God.
He needs an audience, a quiet audience, who will neither be listless, distracted, nor applaud for him.
He needs believers and respects his devout believers.
Because at that moment, he is God (or the devil), God (or Satan), those believers who are not so much spectators as they respect him, must maintain a solemn look, a clear gaze, and admire He, performed his miracles.
But the reality is cruel.
In fact, he is satisfying his sexual desire, the most primitive and basic physical desire.
Like all living beings, he is just the dust at the feet of the creator (this is what Fiennes said in the battle of the gods, but at that time he was really a god, Hades), face mutilation, social barriers, autism, Loss of sexual function. Although he has a strong body, normal sensory stimulation can't make him erect, unable to perform regular sex, let alone orgasm.
He can only rely on the family video intercepted by professional convenience (don't mind, the time positioning of the film is 80s), curled up in a decaying mansion to get comfort.
He can be so restrained even when dating a blind girl.
As the god at the time of killing, he knew that he was deceiving himself and others, so he came to the museum according to the diagram, and after stunned the administrator, he frantically tore up "The Great Red Dragon and the Woman in the Sun" and swallowed it with a big mouth.
Let's go back and watch slowly
Francis leaned closer to "The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Who Was Covered by the Sun", his movements were stiff and slow, and the shrinking of his throat proved that he was swallowing, not hunger, but the fear brought to him by the sense of oppression.
A word from the administrator: "He almost looks alive, doesn't he?"
At this time, Francis's expression was resentful and hateful, all because of that he. In his perception space, using a humanized vocabulary he to describe the red dragon is the biggest blasphemy. At the same time, this sentence will also indulge him, who is longing for the power of the red dragon, and pull it back to reality. It is a dividing point, an alarm clock, reminding him that it is time to do it.
Okay, let's see him tearing up the painting and devouring it.
See clearly, he is not torn, the first time, one is torn into two. The seemingly contradictory behavior is actually the opposite. He fears the red dragon, longs for the power of the red dragon, and bathes in the glory of God (or Satan). But he knew that he had to kill with one blow, otherwise he would be bitten by the red dragon. In his opinion, tearing in half is the best way.
Swallowing begins, from head to toe, gluttonous, swallowing.
May god shows a little mercy on this poor thing.
Sad ants and seemingly crazy mental disorders make Francis do such a sense of ritual.
Will's words reveal the mystery of why Francis turned into a mad murderer.
A heavy retro thread-bound diary, "when I read this journal, it was sad. It was so sad" Will muttered to himself in front of the bonfire with his arms, "I can help feeling sorry for him" He was on the scene, the bonfire was not enough to warm the desolation after reading him, and his tight arms exposed his tension.
As for what is written in the diary, look at the painting, the childish lines outline a domineering grandmother, a cowardly child, crooked vocabulary, "dirty little beast"
But Will said, "He wasn't born a monster", "through years of abuse". It was Will's younger son who interrupted him and wanted his father to make fudge cakes for him.
As a child, Francis probably didn’t know that there was a dessert called fudge. His life was only: he was intimidated, beaten and scolded by his grandmother because of bedwetting, threatened to be confined, thrown away to an orphanage, or cut with the scissors in the medicine cabinet. Drop his genitals. Although he has grown up and has a strong physique, his mind is still a miserable child in his childhood.
After the murder, he put on his grandmother’s dentures. In addition to the awe mentioned above, he also showed how well
he treated his parents after successfully fulfilling his "mission." Wearing a swimsuit on the camera, the blind female colleague looks for the G-spot with the plump breasts rising and falling with the breath, and the Oedipus complex is in full view.
After his one-night spring supper, he found that blind female colleague Libe was walking alone in his yard without permission. He broke out and took out a shotgun full of bullets.
The only human light appeared when he was struggling to insert the gun into his mouth.
He had been explaining to the red dragon before, "no, she is nice" and "she is okay"
but in the end, the dust settled and Francis surrendered to the red dragon.
