In the film, the director used a lot of space to show the inner world of the characters and discuss the psychological processes of the characters. The dark camera processing, the superb use of music, and the non-positive performance of the violent scenes add a thrilling tension to the film. The use of his artistic techniques is amazing. The lens processing of the plot of Hannibal's escape is particularly excellent, which can be regarded as a model work in the movie. Hannibal’s escape method is largely expressed through profile descriptions. The use of light, shadow and color creates an excellent atmosphere for the film, omitting the process and only showing the violent scenes of occurrence and result. The treatment is even more tense and breathless, and the effect that can be achieved by direct performance can be described as surpassing it. The open ending at the end of the film adds infinite meaning to the film. Just this end makes the film enter a higher level of art.

    Hannibal worked hard to reveal the degeneration of society and the hypocrisy of human nature to Clarice. Even institutions that advertise justice such as the CIA are also in sinister collusion with power; bosses and colleagues who look like dogs are private. The bottom is also making dirty transactions with money; people show their kindness, and treat themselves with selfishness and suspicion. A meek and kind lamb has never been comforted by God.

    A very classic thriller, Anthony Hopkins interprets "Cannibal Doctor" vividly.

The Silence of the Lambs quotes

  • Brooding Psychopath: HANNIBAL THE CANNIBAL!

  • Clarice Starling: The wig, the dress, the makeup. Raspail was a transvestite?

    Hannibal Lecter: In life? Oh, no. Garden-variety Manic Depressive. Tedious, very tedious. I did not kill him I assure you just tucked him away, very much as I found him, after he'd missed three appointments.

    Clarice Starling: If you didn't kill him, who did?

    Hannibal Lecter: Who can say? Best thing for him, really, his therapy was going nowhere. No, just think of him as a fledgling killer's first attempt at transformation.

    Clarice Starling: What do you mean fledgling killer? Do you mean he's killed again?

    Hannibal Lecter: I've been in this room for eight years, now Clarice, and I know they'll never let me out, not while I'm alive. What I want is a view where I can see a tree, or even water. I want to be in a federal institution far away from Doctor Chiltern. I'll help you catch him, Clarice.

    Clarice Starling: You know who he is, don't you? Tell me who decapitated your patient.

    Hannibal Lecter: All good things to those who wait. I've waited, but how long can you and Jackie-boy wait? Our little Billy must already be looking for that next special someone.
