The film opens with the arrest of Hannibal, which seems to herald the shattering of the image of the god-man in the first two films who saved danger in the middle of talking and laughing, but don't forget, "Red Dragon" is a prequel to the first two films, so the arrest is definitely not the case. Hannibal's failure just provided another completely different platform for his charisma and horror. It probably all started with the fact that so many guns were still intact in his body, which is probably the most reasonable explanation. The only regret is that Hannibal continued the calm elegance and calm wisdom of the first two films, but he could not eliminate the deep imprint on the skin and the no longer vigorous skills of ten years.
Hannibal in the movie is never lonely. In the first two films, there was a vague emotional entanglement with Clarice, and this one was replaced by Will. The FBI agent who sent him to prison, like Clarice, had conflicting ideas about Hannibal, and his sense of responsibility and justice as a law enforcement officer made him deeply despise, hate, and hate Hannibal's crimes. , but at the same time had to appreciate, admire and even admire his talents. On the surface, his intelligence and alertness enabled him to solve strange cases many times. He was highly valued by his superiors and had a bright future. He chose to retreat bravely. .
Similar to the scene in "Silence of the Lambs" where Hannibal and Clarice have a conversation inside and outside the cell, Will also fought a psychological battle with Hannibal, and the result was equally self-evident and defeated. Will may have never been complacent about catching Hannibal, or thought he was smarter than Hannibal, but decided that the reason why Hannibal was a psychiatrist and could provide him with critical help in solving the case was simply because He himself is a psychopath. In the face of Will's provocation, Hannibal acted noncommittal, but calmly turned his finger on Will, comparing him with himself, saying that the biggest difference between him and the stupid people outside is his extraordinary imagination. , hit Will's door. What Will is afraid of is his unique imagination, which has repeatedly relied on clues, he is afraid of this so-called wisdom and talent, he is afraid of his correct psychological analysis of criminals, and he is afraid that one day he will become the same as Hanny. Pull as cruel pervert. I can't help but think of the episodes that appeared in "Wulin Gaiden" and "Sister Tuogun 3", using peculiar brain teasers to infer whether a person has criminal tendencies. In fact, the so-called correct answer just jumps out of the traditional thinking mode And, if you get it right, it doesn't explain anything, let alone authoritative appraisal, even if it has a reference value. However, Will couldn't refute this worry, couldn't convince himself not to think so, and because of this, he chose to resign to escape and live a peaceful and peaceful life with his wife and children.
Of course, the good times didn't last long, and the appearance of a serial killer broke his comfort, so a good show was staged. Different from the first two films, "Red Dragon" gives the killer more performance space and more important role status, and focuses on depicting his life, shaping his inner struggle, and showing the audience a fuller character and image. , and Ralph Fiennes's performance is really good, portraying the murderer who is both a victim and an abuser. From another point of view, the strong cast of Anthony Hopkins, Edward Norton, and Ralph Fiennes itself proves that the film pursues a golden triangle combination, rather than a one-on-one drama, then It's no surprise that the killer's role has been increased.
There is also a woman who has to be mentioned. Although she cannot shake the status of the three men, she plays a pivotal role in the film. Emily Watson, who played Reba, played the heroine Jackie in "She's Lonely Than Fireworks". Her sensitive, willful, neurotic and hysterical performance has left a deep impression on me to this day. Although she is blind in this film, she is blind. Still radiant, without losing aura. I don't know if other people have this kind of thought when watching this film, I am very sympathetic to the physical and spiritual trauma Mr.D suffered as a child, so when the only Reba who can be regarded as the heroine appears, even though he will She was frightened, but she still had the idea of luck, hoping that a pure, kind, optimistic and strong she could play the role of Mr.D's saving angel, but in fact, she was almost there, and only a little bit succeeded in getting him from Pull back to safety from the edge of the cliff.
When Mr.D cried "I can't do it" and the gunshots rang out, I was completely immersed in his pain, and when Will looked through Mr.D's diary and told his wife to sympathize with him, I almost made it for the movie It became a real tragedy and praised, what a wonderful ending with human thinking and aftertaste. It's a pity, the truth is, I soon found out that so many movies I've seen before are not for nothing, and the large section of the playback window's pull bar shows that the real climax has not come, recalling that Mr.D picked up the dizzy Reba towards The glance at the corpse, the seemingly redundant footage must have deep meaning. Sure enough, Mr.D is not dead, his next target is the Will family, this is a scam carefully planned by Mr.D, and it is also a routine arrangement by the screenwriter. After that, the screenwriter designed a scene where Will used Mr.D's wound to rescue his son so sigh, and then ended the climax with a typical Hollywood-style shootout, completely smashing and scattering the emotional feelings that were just brewing and looking forward to sublimation. one place.
After all, "Red Dragon" is a mass commercial film. It should not be speculated from a humanistic point of view, and I was almost deceived by my own compassion. Is it my failure or "Red Dragon"'s misstep?
