Completely as good as the Silence of the Lambs!

In terms of plot alone, "Red Dragon" does not lose "Silence of the Lambs" at all! In terms of actors, Anthony Hopkins is equally wonderful, Norton is also good, especially Ralph almost robs Anthony Hopkins a lot of light. In fact, "Red Dragon" can touch me more emotionally, because Ralph's villain is more flesh-and-blood, Norton is also more touching because he takes into account the safety of his wife and children, and there are fewer bugs in the whole play, why are the ratings and popularity so low many?

It must have been lost to Jodie Foster.

Both are about childhood shadows, because no one is born evil. But the murderer in the red dragon is more multi-faceted. He also longs for love, but there is a monster behind him. He is actually religious (believes in the red dragon very much, and even ate the painting of the red dragon) and kind (with Pakistan). Li went to see the tiger and didn't kill the two female employees), but there was a deviation in her belief (what transformation, wake up!), and it was love that shook his belief.

The picture of him with the blind girl Barry is what the little boy looks like when he meets love. When he finally said to Barry with a gun that I can't do it, isn't it the highlight of his humanity? He said "I can't leave you to him, he'll eat your body", so does Doerr have schizophrenia? In fact, the villains created in this way are successful.

Hannibal also makes people love and hate. He is not only a demon, he is always teaching people to grow up. Perhaps out of the instinct of a psychologist, he constantly guides the hero and heroine to overcome their inner fears. He said, "Fear is The price of tool advancement, but I can teach you to bear it." And he always taught them how to fish, only providing breakthroughs and entry points, leaving the right to think to his students.

He finally said, "Is a rational society either killing me or taking advantage of me?" Maybe philosophers have reached a certain level and peeped into the darkness of society and government, and will have such confusion. But for us ordinary people, I am happy to be used by society. This fully realizes Maslow's five levels of needs, and can bring both material and spiritual satisfaction, isn't it? I just can't figure it out for ordinary people.

Will's looks look old and young for a while, but I really like this image of a good husband and father. Although he finally threw the letter from Hannibal to him into the sea and walked towards his wife and children, the scars on his body are always reminding him of those vivid memories. Has he never been afraid? Surely there are. Is he not evil? I don't believe it either.
