Clarice, an FBI trainee agent, was ordered to investigate a perverted madman who specifically killed women and stripped her skin. For this reason, she had to turn to Likert, a perverted killer in prison and a psychoanalyst who was also a psychoanalyst. Clarice had a psychological barrier because she had witnessed the murder of a lamb when she was a child, but she killed the murderer with incomparable courage and wisdom. At the celebration banquet, she received a call from Likert, who had already escaped from prison: "Is the lamb no longer wailing?...Take care!" This film is a classic that has deeply reflected the problems of social crime in the United States since the 1990s. Five awards for Best Picture, Best Leading Actor, Best Director, and Best Screenplay Adaptation at the 64th Oscars. The box office reached 15 million U.S. dollars in the first week of the show. The outstanding performances of Judy Foster and Anthony Hopkins have also become the most glorious page in the history of film.
In fact, if we talk about the topic of "strong" and "weak", is each of us not a "weak" in the face of nature and destiny? And the world itself may be the greedy eyes that Hannibal said. People descend into the world with the original sin called desire, and unknowingly, they pour into each other to form an invisible and huge net. Everyone is both the giver and the victim of the evil; both greedy peeping. Also fleeing in horror; both a sinner and a victim, there is no escape, no escape. Like poor bad boy Bill, like the man looking at Stellan at the airport, like the male policemen who show contempt, like you and me. Perhaps, in Hannibal’s eyes, human beings are all miserable creatures, struggling to survive for their own interests, but cannot escape the butcher knife of fate. They will eventually be swallowed mercilessly by life, just like a stupid and terrified lamb waiting to be slaughtered, ignorant, numb and pitiful. sad. It can be said that Hannibal has been looking down on mankind with a cold intellect, just like a ruthless god. God doesn't know what benevolence is. He regards everything as a dog and cannot change the tragedy of mankind, so he is indifferent. Until he met Stellan, the shepherd who was sensitive to human tragedies because of her natural sensitivity, but was crying and wanted to save even a lamb, this thin and weak girl who tried to carry all the sufferings in the world on her shoulders. Two people have both similar and completely opposite sides. Therefore, Hannibal's love for Stellan is not only a sympathy for each other, but also a guardian of the beautiful soul of the alien. "Brave Clarice, if one day your lamb stops screaming, will you come and tell me?" If this world really becomes heaven one day, even the cruel god will be a little moved, right?
