——The wooden barrel effect is often not applicable to works of art. The original plot deleted or modified from the movie is in parentheses. The serial number is the original chapter. The default is Starling's perspective. 1. Training, was called to see Crawford, and was sent to see Hannibal. (In the original work, Starling went directly to see Crawford, and the movie added the scene of Starling alone in a purely male environment.) 2. Passing by Chilton. (The movie changes "If you were there to introduce me to me, I could have done this." was changed to "But then I would miss the fun of having you with me." Starling's attitude towards Chilton was smoother and weaker. I cannot understand the contradiction between the two people.) 3. See Hannibal. The first arc plot in the original book! First he was humiliated and rejected, and then he got the first clue-Raspel's car because of Miggs. (Hannibal’s left hand has 6 fingers, deleted. As Hannibal’s only friend, all of Barney’s scenes were deleted, resulting in Hannibal being flattened. The Valentine’s Day gift was deleted and let you find it in the car later The Valentine's Day memorial book lost its meaning. If you want to delete it, you can delete it together.) The word puzzle changed to "your own" warehouse is to delete the process of finding Raspel’s car, which echoes the name given to Martin afterwards, which is also a word puzzle. 4. The pain outside the hospital, and memories of Dad. (It's weaker than the original. Chalaspell, delete, curse Crawford in his heart, delete, one of the main characteristics of Starling in the original is the man-like character and swearing, but in the movie it is changed to be very feminine, losing The characteristics.) (5. (Crawford perspective) take care of Bella, delete, yes.) (6. Chalaspell’s car, delete. Starling’s investigation and academic time and energy contradictions, deleted from beginning to end. Cloth Lime, delete, yes, Brame’s role is weak, and it only helped this time substantially. Starling’s shooting has the effect of paving the way for the final lore, but it is thin. I personally think that the more important thing is to shoot for a period of time. The author’s pursuit of ontological expression. The car was dismantled and deleted, and the arc of the plot is gone. I want to find Hannibal again, but Chilton is blocked, deleted, and the relationship between Starling and the two characters is lost.) 7. Being denied Lawford told Miggs that he was dead. (Hannibal guessed that Bella was not working, and sent Crawford's consoling letter, deleted. Crawford guided to find the car again, deleted, Crawford's role as a mentor was actually deleted from the beginning.) 8 .Find the head in the car, slightly curved. (Reduce the difficulty of the warehouse and delete the confrontation with the media. Almost all the difficulties and pressure of Starling have been deleted.) 9. When I saw Hannibal for the second time, Hannibal made a request, and instead Hannibal said that Klaus was killed by Bison Bill. (Hannibal said that Bison Bill has a two-story house. Deleted. Since the bug in Klaus’s throat is omitted, the loss is nothing more than the details of the murder method. Yes. The dialogue with Hannibal was deleted and focused on Starling’s guidance. It is consistent with the overall deletion of Stalin's growth under the guidance of the two mentors.) 15. (Bison Bill perspective) Catch Catherine. (It’s a bit wrong to change the infrared eyepiece here, but no one will care. Catherine’s life, delete.) 10. Called away, go to the post-mortem. (Pressure in the academy, deleted.) 11. On the plane, Crawford introduced Bison Bill. 12. Add a paragraph about Starling’s knowledge of Buffalo Bill in the car, and change it from a monologue in the novel text to an answer to Crawford’s inquiry. Autopsy. Being placed in a purely masculine environment, the original work emphasizes the pressure faced by Starling, and the unified theme of feminism in the film is actually off topic. Add flashback to father’s funeral. The autopsy scenes recurring in the original work, the method emphasized in the film is the choking of Stalin's recording. (13. Analyze with Crawford, delete. Infer that Bison Bill has a truck, delete.) 14. Check the bug in the museum and find it out directly. (The relationship between Stalin and Pilcher, all deleted.) 20. (Bison Bill's perspective) Bison Bill's home. (16. (Crawford perspective) I got the news that Catherine was tied up by Buffalo Bill and deleted it. The countdown from the original work began. The entire Stalin pressure line in the movie was deleted, so there is no more. I personally think that the countdown is vulgar, but you can keep it. , After all, no trouble.) 17. Senator Martin’s TV speech. (School pressure, deleted.) (18. The conversation with Crawford, including who was the murderer of Klaus, was naturally deleted. In the original work, I actually want to say that moths in the throat are the usual practice, and the movie is deleted. It seems that only one person has a moth in his throat.) (19. Crawford decided to fool Hannibal and delete it, but fortunately he said something to explain later.) 21. Pass by Chilton. (Chilton proposed to record, delete, and cut down Chilton’s portrayal, yes. Chilton still wants to get Starling, delete, don’t understand, isn’t it to engage in feminism?) 22. See Hanni in the hospital for the third time Ba, Starling asked for the conditions. Hannibal wanted to learn about Starling’s childhood and named three hospitals, which were monitored by Chilton. (Sami, delete. From the very beginning, Hannibal did not believe in the condition of the Senator. Starling said that the movie changed to Hannibal and was directly deceived. In fact, it weakened Hannibal's image of ability. The original work is here. Nibal has already said that Bison Bill wants to make clothes for himself.) (24. Go out of the hospital and discuss flicker with Crawford, the countdown time is shorter, delete. ) (25. Continue to fool Hannibal, changing three hospitals in childhood, before changing it.) 23. (Bison Bill's perspective) Catherine's situation. (Unexpectedly, Bison Bill will be moved by Catherine, which I cannot understand.) (26. (Hannibal's perspective) has trusted Stalin and wants to help her catch Bison Bill, deleted.) 27. (Hannibal) Perspective) was traded by Chilton. (Use Chilton’s pen to escape instead. It’s not clear how to hide and hide. I don’t have to say clearly. I think it’s okay.) 28. (Crawford perspective) Chilton was notified to intervene, Hanni Pull was transferred. (Negotiation with the hospital, deleted.) (29. (Hannibal's perspective) Transfer of the mental hospital, deleted.) (30. Starling’s anger, deleted.) (31. Crawford’s encouragement, look for Barney Nahan Nibal's painting, deleted.) 32. (Hannibal's perspective) The airport negotiates with Senator Martin. (Crawford was deleted here. Hannibal said: "Fame and fortune people have wasted enough time." Changed to "Starling and Crawford should have wasted enough time." Check the original English version.) (33. (Bison Bill's perspective) plan to do it tomorrow and delete it.) (34. Starling went to Catherine’s house to search, but was expelled by Senator Martin and Krendler, and was banned from investigating the case and deleted. Actually the original work This plot is also to illustrate the sense of justice in the family. As a student, Starling is a newcomer and has to face the pressure of power is actually the focus of the original description.) 35. The fourth and last time I saw Hannibal in the court jail. Increase the focus on feminism lens. (It's okay to change Starling from saving horses to saving sheep.) 36. (Hannibal perspective) Come out. Increase the close-up details of Starling's portrait. 37. (Hannibal angle of view) Escape with a face change. The arc plot. 38. (Hannibal perspective) Hijacking an ambulance. (39. Starling saw Crawford, and Crawford was banned from investigating the case and deleted. Bella, countdown, and course pressure were naturally deleted.) (40. The museum found that it was a dead head moth, deleted, changed Find out directly before you arrive.) (42. (Crawford perspective) analysis, want to continue to check the hospital, delete.) (43. (Hannibal perspective) live in a hotel, delete.) (44. Maple and school The pressure, delete.) (45. (Crawford perspective) Bella died, delete.) (46. (Bison Bill perspective) watch video tape, leather craftsmanship, delete.) 47. Instead, Starling and Maple found Hannibal's notes together and analyzed the clues that Bison Bill knew Frederica. (Stallen’s pain, deleted. Stalin’s lonely battle turned into a joyful decryption with his roommate.) (48. Meeting with desperate Crawford, decided to make a desperate move, abandon the school exam, and delete. In the original work, Stalin investigated the case. The biggest motivation has always been empathy for the victim, which is not reflected in the movie.) 50. Starling goes to Frederica’s home. The plot of the nude photos found by Catherine's family was changed to Frederica. (51. (Crawford perspective) Recalling Bella, receiving a call from Dr. Daniel and getting James Garm's name, delete it.) 52. Starling analyzes Frederica and learns that Bison Bill can sew. 53. Instead, call Crawford directly, and Crawford is on the plane going to Chicago to catch Bison Bill. 41. (Bison Bill's perspective) Catherine failed to catch the dog. 55.

It can be seen that Starling’s dimension has been deleted by two-thirds, while Hannibal completely retained it. Who do you say is the protagonist? The main thread of the original book is Stalin’s powerlessness for justice. This is the brand of the family, and reached the strongest when Stalin’s father died, becoming the biggest flaw in Stalin’s psychology. Therefore, in the process of investigating the case, after Stalin endured and overcome various pressures and difficulties, he finally succeeded in gaining confidence and a sense of strength, and the lamb stopped barking. This has nothing to do with feminism. The development of the relationship between Starling and Crawford is really not that important, relatively speaking. On the overall structure, the screen structure is not obvious, and I personally think it is an advantage. The big arc of the original book is based on: 1. Stalin’s subjective and objective pressures have increased. 2. The degree of being prohibited from participating in investigations has increased. 3. The countdown is approaching. The movie is missing a lot in this regard. It can be seen that the movie has lost too much important content compared to the original, and even the theme and main line have been basically deleted. So why is the movie so good? It can even be said to be better than the original novel? I personally think that, as stated in the inscription, the movie magnifies the highlights of the original work, such as: Hannibal’s dimensions are kept more comprehensive; Anthony Hopkins’s performance is superb; the audiovisual performance of the key arc plot is adequate.

"The Silent Lamb" is a classic work of "strengthening the strengths without making up for the weaknesses".
