There are three movies, The Silent Lamb, The Seven Deadly Sins, and The Fright of Chainsaw. The protagonists of these three movies are all perverted madmen. Anyone who has watched these three movies can feel that these three people are extremely similar.
Hannibal in the Silent Lamb is a psychologist with a high IQ. His spiritual magic is comparable to that of Satan. The funny thing is that he himself is the most terrifying psychopath, a terrifying ogre. His eyes are like sharp scalpels, capable of penetrating any earthly mind. He is fearless and fearless, like an almighty God. He is cruel, like a beast. When he ate human flesh raw, his heartbeat remained below eighty-five beats per minute. That is to say, he almost treats cannibalism as eating. This is a terrible soul, no one can enter his soul. He seems to come from hell.
The murderer in the seven deadly sins used peculiar and cruel murder to preach. It can be said that he is actually a loyal Christian, he devoted himself to studying the Bible and Divine Comedy, and he was cynical. He lives alone, no one knows how he lives. Because this society has almost no trace of him. He has never worked before, but he has no worries about food and clothing. It should be after the rich. He teased the police, turned them around, and finally walked out and gave himself up. It's so cool. Obviously he sees himself as God or God's messenger. What he did was just to save the world and refuse to sink. It's just this cruel and perverted approach that cannot be accommodated by this conformist society. If he chooses literature or other industries, I think his achievements should be no less than Dante and Sao Paulo.
Another is the jigsaw in Chainsaw Horror. He treats killing as a game. Although the method of killing was extremely bloody and horrible, he was not a cruel person. Most of those killed by him took advantage of the law, but ended up in his hands. He did not completely deprive those people of the chance to survive, life is precious. He played a game for them, and the chip of the game was death. The key to life is kindness, selflessness, tolerance and love. This is the brilliance and charm of the jigsaw. He also imagined himself as God or the final judge. He judges those people and gives them life or death punishment. He has insight into people's hearts, as bright as a mirror and as sharp as a knife.
These three people have one characteristic in common, that is, their appearance or identity is elegant and ordinary. For example, Hannibal is an elegant, erudite, gentle-looking middle-aged man, and so is the murderer in the Seven Deadly Sins. The murderer in the chainsaw is an old man with terminal cancer, a weak old man. He used his mind and wisdom to kill people. The spirit of these three people is as firm and calm as the devil, and they imagined themselves as an almighty God. Come to dominate sin and punishment.
Their charm is undeniable. I also believe that such people exist in this world. Unfortunately, such people have not been found in Chinese films or literary works. They are walking on the edge of the world, lonely and crazy.
