In the misty mountain forest, a female student in FBI sportswear climbed along the hillside cable. Then she ran through the dense forest and over the rope barriers. The gloomy, discordant and threatening accompaniment was even more dramatic. It adds a suspenseful and dangerous color to the environment. At the beginning of the film, director Demi’s carefully designed set of shots vividly hints that what the audience sees will be a crime film with confusing plot. Although the childish heroine is a fledgling newcomer, she is not afraid of hardships and moves forward courageously. In the end, she will be able to break the fog, catch the culprit, reveal the truth, and comfort the audience. The gloomy tone under the shade of the forest also sets the tone for the whole film, which indicates the black theme of the film. Sure enough, the newspaper clippings of "Bill Peeling" pushed the black theme bloody before the audience. "Bison Bill" was originally W · F. Cody (1846-1917) was nicknamed. Cody, a pioneer in the west, hunted bison for the migrant workers who built the Pacific Railway, so he got this nickname. When he was a scout, he followed Indian customs in the war of conquering the Indians, cutting off the enemy's scalp as the spoils of war. Therefore, the police referred to the unknown serial murder and skinning criminal as Bison Bill. Bill has committed many crimes, but the FBI has no clues to solve the crime, so it has to turn to another serial murderer for help. From this, the film unearthed a peculiar subject matter of a murderer's detective murder case. The choreographer must draw on Lecter before pulling away the fog of Bill. His name is Hannibal (Hannibal) and Cannibal (cannibal) homonyms. The choreographer highlights Lecter’s horror through Chitton's mouth and confesses Crawford’s secondment. Starling, used the female key to open Lecter's locked mouth in order to get clues to solve the case. The parties involved in this "sex" + "intelligence" game are well aware of it. For the first time, the former psychologist with a high IQ had a good impression of the beautiful, honest and honest female students. Afterwards, the two screamed at each other and broke up unhappily. But when MiG sexually harassed, Lecter apologized and decided to compensate her. However, this kind of favor is extremely euphemistic. The enigmatic clue not only fits his professional personality, but also a challenge and test for her. Starling deciphered the first ruling group with his wisdom and found Lapé's head. The rhetoric of Lecter's "converted experimental product" created a problem for Starling again, and he revealed the bargaining chip before further providing sufficient and sufficient conditions to solve the problem. Crawford asked Starling to analyze the case for another assessment. Through case study and autopsy, the audience had a better understanding of the Bill case, but there were no clues of sexual abuse or skinning, which still made the audience like a cloud. middle. Skeleton moths are moths with large markings on the back that are shaped like skulls. On the one hand, it symbolizes Bill's deformed addiction to death, and on the other hand, it is also used by the director as a joint to embellish the drama. Even if Catherine's imprisonment activates the image of the victimized girl, it suddenly adds tension to the Bill case, forcing Crawford and Lecter to make a fake deal. Lecter may not be aware of the fraud, but he is more interested in the transaction with Starling: telling his childhood nightmare, which is in line with his professional habits-the pain and fear of childhood are important and satisfying for psychoanalysis To understand his special concern for her-he has gradually accepted her spiritually. She has depended on her father since she was a child, and her father has become her spiritual support, and the death of her father has undoubtedly hit her the most. She frankly confided the secret in her heart (violating Crawford's warning not to let her talk about personal matters). This sincere attitude infected Lecter and finally made him spit out clues to solve the case. His analysis of Bill's desire for transgender is to clear up the fog of this case. Key, reveals for the first time Bill’s sexual psychology and its causes. Through wiretapping, Chidon thought he had the dominance of the Bill case and excluded the FBI. He was ecstatic in front of reporters, as if he was the one who solved the case. However, the leader in solving the case can only be Lecter, who hates him. He revealed that the senator’s information was very important, but he did not take it seriously. This arrogant attitude angered him, and he would rather ridicule him for the trivial improvement of conditions. Starling tried her luck again, and she intuitively felt that Lecter would not tease her. Sure enough, when he met, he said "love". Obviously he didn't care about the deception last time, because it was Crawford's work, so the two continued to reciprocate. Starling’s selfless care for the helpless lamb made him deeply moved. His feelings for her have taken a step forward. Therefore, when Cheeton took Starling away, he couldn’t help calling her back. Touching her hand affectionately when handing over the files, the only physical contact between the two in the whole film subtly expressed his nostalgia for her. After that, he was still thinking about it, and drew her portrait again. This exquisite emotional description of singing three sighs is indeed rare in thrilling crime films. When Lecter confided that the clues were in the archives and implied that greed came from what he saw every day, the necessary and sufficient conditions for solving the case were already in place. Lecter's role in this case has been exhausted. His withdrawal from the main line of the plot is a narrative inevitable. The director skillfully combines this exit with the need to demonstrate his brutal nature. Previously, the director only showed his elegant appearance, and the cannibal was only seen in words and speech. If you don't resort to video, the image of the cannibal will be incomplete. Lecter opened the handcuffs and killed the guard who delivered the meal with the pen cap lever taken from Chidon. Then the director arranged a typical Hollywood escape plot and once again demonstrated the wisdom of Dr. Cannibal and the incompetence of many male police officers. The most shocking thing in this highlight is that after Lecter killed the guard, he hung a person from the cage, opened his arms, hollowed out his intestines and hung under his arms, forming wings together with his arms. From a distance, the sharp light behind it outlines the figure of the dead, like a black eagle spreading its wings, Lecter expresses his strong desire to break through the eight-year barrier and fly out of prison with this terrifying appearance. Kurt wouldn't tease her. Sure enough, when he met, he said "love". Obviously he didn't care about the deception last time, because it was Crawford's work, so the two continued to reciprocate.

With her wit, Starling realized the truth of the case from "what we see every day" and the diamond-shaped dress and deduced that Bill was a tailor. When Crawford talked about Gumberg's situation, the audience had two clues to solving the case, that is, based on the information that Crawford had found twice according to Lecter and the new situation found during Starling's visit. The two lines indicate two houses, the former is in Calumet, which has been identified as owned by Gumber. The latter is in Bevidi, hundreds of kilometers away, only known as the residence of Mrs. Lipman. The audience obviously agrees with Crawford, and there is no doubt that he will capture the evil spirits. Crawford also thanked Starling for his assistance in a big way. Demi played a common trick in thriller films here: Crawford surrounded a house with a large number of plain clothes, Gumbo disguised herself as a woman at home; plain clothes rang the bell, the doorbell made a masterpiece, Gumbo ran out and opened the door in a dress change, and the door opened. What the audience saw was Starling; the plainclothes van broke into the door and threw himself empty, apparently there was more than one house in Gumberg. When Starling faced a man, she was surprised at how he was related to Mrs. Lipman. It was the skeleton moth that made her understand everything. Pulling guns, escaping and searching, the atmosphere immediately became tense, and the film immediately reached a climax. Starling stumbled in the dark and couldn't find her opponent, but Gumber looked at her clearly in the green light of the night vision goggles. A big hand stretched out to her back, and the audience suddenly realized that the petite and plump Starling was about to become another skinned girl. A gun was aimed at her, and the audience was extremely nervous, but the well-trained Starling took the lead and finally won the game of life betting. She was indeed worthy of that FBI diploma, and even did a better job.
Throughout the whole film, Starling is the character who has written and directed the most ink and has the fullest image. From the opening scene, it is not difficult for the audience to see that despite her short stature and childish face, she reveals a spirit of fortitude, courage and indomitability. Then when she walked to Crawford's office, she met almost all men along the way, especially when she stepped into the elevator, she was even more petite and weak among a dozen tall and strong men. Later, she entered a psychiatric prison, where it was also completely a man's world. People were surprised or confused when they saw her. Demi deliberately used this strong contrast between gender and physique to highlight her incompatibility with the environment. When she met Lecter for the first time and broke up unhappy, the prisoners on both sides screamed at her with sexual hunger, and she almost escaped and ran out of the prison. This was her most vulnerable moment in the film. . However, she thought of her father. Demi used her childhood intimacy flashbacks to stabilize her emotions, and the audience understood that her father was the source of her spiritual power. She grew up in an environment with only her father’s love. As a sheriff whose mission is to fight criminals, her father cultivated her sense of justice and gave her a perseverance and courage. When she was ten years old, she couldn't bear the murder of a lamb and wanted to save her from danger regardless of her own situation. This sense of justice to help the weak was the driving force behind her joining the FBI in a desperate struggle against criminals. At the beginning of the film, Demi used a close-up shot to emphasize the slogan of the secret service school training ground: "Hurt
Another successful figure in this film is Lecter. At the beginning of the film, the director portrayed a life-saving image through the mouths of everyone. Starling walked into the jail and saw an abominable figure like MiG. When they reached the end, the audience couldn't help their eyes light up: standing behind the plexiglass baffle was a neatly dressed and personable gentleman. He speaks courteously, loves elegance (painting, music), speaks sharply, has sharp eyesight, and has strong judgment and memory. However, it is precisely his high intelligence and primitive instinct that coexist, the dual personality of the person who knows etiquette and the maniac, he is both a psychiatrist and a schizophrenic patient, and he is like the Dr. Hyde of modern society. He acted decisively and confidently, and could only manipulate others without being manipulated by others. He has only one side relationship with Gunberg, but he can reveal his true face from the clues. He understands that Starling is a kind of sexual temptation (not her temptation but the temptation of her sexual identity), and he allows himself to enjoy this temptation without being caught in it. After breaking out of prison, he didn't pester her (Stallen was sure about this, she said to his girlfriend that it was too rude), and only called to congratulate her euphemistically after solving the case ("Does the Lamb no longer wail?"). The most vivid portrayal of Lecter is that he plays elegant classical music while swinging a club to kill the guards, just like a band conductor is directing the performance. At the end of the film, he wants to "have dinner with old friends". The recipe for dinner is obviously the "old friend" Chiton who dominated him in the next scene.
Gumberg is the key analysis object of the characters and film critics in the film, and the analysis tool is often psychoanalytic theory. He grew up in a single-parent family where the sun was overwhelming and the sun was declining. His strong Oedipus complex made his sexual psychology inverted. The abuse of his mother since childhood distorted his moral values and made him disregard the value of life. He always plays female roles (Miss May, Mrs. Lipman, and heterosexual identities among homosexuals), but then he is dissatisfied with the role and wants to become a woman. After his application for sex reassignment surgery was rejected, he could only find another way. At first he killed a boyfriend of the same sex with a mannequin wearing a woman's dress on his head. Later, he continued to hunt for young women and tried to use their skin and soul to change his sexual identity. There is the custom of sacrament. Gunberg hunts women and skins them, that is, with the intention of possessing their vitality). These weird thoughts dominated him, causing him to do all kinds of absurd things that ordinary people can't understand.
Film critics unanimously compared Gumber with Norman in Hitchcock's business card "Psychopath". They both abused and killed women because of the deformed Oedipus complex, but the two plots are by no means the same, and each has its own innovations. . In particular, the positive character of the film, Starling, is not lacking in typical psychoanalytic meanings: she has a strong Electra complex, her personality is obviously masculine, and two middle-aged men who are closely related to her can also be regarded as the image of her father. Extension, that is, Crawford is her good father, and Lecter is her bad father.
Although the film has a black theme of sexual perversion and murder, and there are many images of corpses, human heads, and skeleton moths in the film, this film is not a horror film. On the contrary, Demi always tries to avoid violence and sensory stimulation. Unless the plot requires it, he never deliberately exaggerated it. The film does not have any bloody scenes of murder. Not only are scenes of many "lambs" being tortured and skinned, but Demi only refers to the half-length shots of Lecter swinging and striking even if the plot of the brutal guards must be confessed. The film attracts the audience by the tension of the plot, the charm of reasoning, and the horror atmosphere created by the director's mobilization of montages, lighting, and soundtracks, especially Starling's visit to Lecter, the rivalry between the two, and that. The subtle changes in this feeling are even more impressive and endless. The two actors' mastery and interpretation of the roles are extremely vivid and vivid. It is no wonder that the two of them have won important performance awards in the United States that year.
This film is undoubtedly a psychological thriller with high artistic interest but no lack of entertainment gimmicks. However, its social dominance is also very popular. In addition to the strong female consciousness throughout the film, the two consecutive homicides alone have deeply touched a major social problem that plagues the United States today. Entertainment films usually have to punish evil and promote good. Under the action of the law of moral dynamics, conflicts should be resolved at the end of the film. However, the film ends with Lecter’s premeditated crime. In addition to leaving room for another sequel, this open structure has the most important significance because it shows that serial homicides are out of control in the United States today. . As this film reveals, most of these murderers are white people. They are not seeking money or killing or revenge. Some of them are well educated and well-off families. Their killings were entirely due to mental breakdown and psychological perversions. Such breakdowns and perversions can only be found in the various malpractices of American society, which is obviously beyond the scope of film appreciation. In this film, Starling found the car with a human head hidden in the storage room. It was covered with a Star-Spangled Banner covered with thick dust. After Gunber was shot to death, a Star-Spangled Banner was also inserted diagonally on the side of the toppled wall. . Doesn't this dusty or crooked American flag show a certain idea of the choreographer?
