"The Silent Lamb" (the first part of this series) is of course the most classic, the 1991 film, the picture is a bit old (why I always choose the picture quality and sound quality when I watch movies and listen to songs, and I never buy the original and never enter the movie theater) , The plot is compact, and several main lines are clearly scattered. I watched this film a few years ago, and now it still feels like a new film when I watch it again. I found that there were a lot of them that I didn’t understand at the time. .
On the one hand, the film aims to create a three-dimensional character like Hannibal, no one is more three-dimensional than him; on the other hand, it aims to express the influence of a person's childhood experience on the development of personality. Doctor. Hannibal, can be Dr. Hannibal, or Dr. Hannibal-he is both a doctor of psychology and an outstanding psychologist, he is also a heinous ogre and murderer; he is more elegant than a gentleman, He is more merciful than angels, he is crueler than demons, he is sharper than knives; he saves people, eats people, he helps people, and kills; besides holding people’s faces, he chews and makes his mouth full of blood. In addition to the blood and gore of Bai, the great psychologist makes Leng Daozi look even more attractive and attractive when a single sentence pierces people's hearts like a knife. The psychological mystery inside is too complicated. If my IQ is not enough for a systematic analysis, it will not be wordy. In short, high IQ crime is very scary... I suddenly thought that every one of us is The complex of contradictions all have flaws of this kind. The important thing is that one can recognize oneself clearly, see and heal oneself like Doctor Hannibal sees a patient-this is a time-consuming and mentally exhausting thing, and may have to be devastated. Do your life's energy.
On the other hand, it is precisely the meaning of the title "The Silent Lamb", which aims to express the great influence of a person's childhood experience on the development of his personality. The "Silent Lamb" series has done a good job in this respect. Each part has firmly grasped this main line. "The Shadow of Childhood" has a good interpretation and penetration in each part. Is there any recurrence in your dreams? With a silent lamb, it looks at you just silent, and when it gets closer and closer to you, it suddenly grows fangs and rushes toward you? Yes, that is the shadow of childhood.
At the end of the film, Hannibal escaped. The long shots and the flow of people seemed to be calling for something. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentionally that paved the way for the sequel.
"Hannibal" (the second part of this series), which came out after a lapse of ten years, is fully connected with the plot of the previous one. The old friend Dr. Hannibal reappeared under the drive of love. Compared with the main psychological card in the first part, "Hannibal" has more straightforward blood, hanging, cutting the throat, wild boar cannibalism, and finally challenging people's visual and psychological limits. Head-eating human brain, the film has changed from the first psychological suspense film to a bloody thriller. This time the heroine has changed actors, and the role of Clarice has changed from a student to a leader in the FBI. It doesn’t feel right to see Clarice appear in the first film. The bravery in the first part becomes sharp and aggressive. It is quite different from Clarice in the first part. I don’t like the heroine this time. . Generally speaking, the second part is still very visible, although it is bound to be inferior to the first part, but at least after reading it, it will not feel boring and screaming. It is a fairly beautiful continuation.
When it came to the third "Red Dragon", this series began to have a sense of leftovers. It did not take the first release of the plot following the II. Instead, it has the nature of a "prequel". The time before Liz went to see Dr. Hannibal. Yes, in II, Hannibal's hand was cut off by himself, and the love that should have been developed has also been developed. It would be really difficult for III to continue its plot shooting. So "Red Dragon" almost applied the plot mode of "Silent Lambs", allowing Dr. Hannibal in prison to act as a police consultant to find out the murderer for the police. I think the murderer this time is worse. There is nothing novel about the motives of the murder. The methods before and after the crime are not very consistent. It violates the consistent continuity of serial murderers and forced the "red dragon" in ancient European myths to be far-fetched. Connected with the "Red Middle" in Chinese Mahjong (really depressing), the whole person is not abnormal enough, and the end reveals that he is a schizophrenic patient-slightly old-fashioned. Compared to the first one? Don't compare it.
If "Red Dragon" is considered a prequel to "The Silent Lambs", then the last part of this series, "Young Hannibal" is the prequel. Back in time to Hannibal's teenage years, everything is about the shadow of Hannibal's own childhood, so that everyone can understand how the outstanding demon Hannibal became what it is today. One of the most important selling points of the film’s publicity is Gong Li’s role. Gong Li plays Hannibal’s aunt and his mentor Mrs. Zi on the road to humans and demons. I think she looks pretty in it, but she hides it. The paleness and weakness of this film can't be avoided. There is not the bloodiest, only more bloody. The "Silent Lambs" series has completely completed the psychological-thriller-crime-completely bloody transformation. A three-dimensional and vivid Hannibal has not only been photographed into a pie. During the watching, I fell asleep in boredom, awakened by the bloodiest part of the performance, and fell asleep again after reading that paragraph...
Dr. Hannibal’s brain and flesh have been drained,
please. Director, please stop filming! ...
