The story of the film is actually pretty old-fashioned. A revenge story by a victim of Hannibal. If it weren't for this rich victim, the heroine might have been laid off from the FBI, and Hannibal's honest work as his curator in Italy would not have produced so many stories.
From the appearance, this film is a revenge story, but it is actually a love film. A love story between the hero and the heroine. From the very beginning of the film, the audience was told that Hannibal was rather ambiguous with the heroine. The heroine's expression as she listens to past recordings shows a quirky joy on her face. It turns out that the heroine also has a soft spot for Hannibal. So the heroine keeps an eye on Hannibal's whereabouts, but doesn't want to hurt him. She also came to the pigsty alone to save Hannibal. She was really a beauty and a hero. At the end of the film, when Hannibal escapes, there is still a relaxed mood on his face. Hannibal's love for the heroine is also quite affectionate. I don't want to hurt her, I don't want to eat her, protect her, save her, and wash away the shame for her, it's really considerate.
This couple really cherish each other and admire each other. But the heroine refuses to admit it and never says I love you.
In addition to the description of this bizarre love, the rest of the time is to deeply portray Hannibal's grace and cruelty. From his way of life and behavior in Rome, it can be seen that he is a perverted ogre with very cultural qualities and connotations. The way of killing is so gentlemanly. Of course, the most classic of this film is the opening of the brain at the end of the film. Elegant movements, soothing expressions, like a real culinary master. And treat the human brain as a monkey brain and eat it alive. Those who watch are disgusting, those who eat are happy. Metamorphosis to the extreme. Maybe most people can't accept this scene, but I don't feel it. Because I've seen more perverted ones.
The heroine of the film changed the actress. Jodie Foster quit and replaced Julianne Moore. Julianne Moore looks pretty good in this film, dyed blonde, dealt with freckles, and turned into a big beauty. But I don't think the female detective she plays has the feeling of Jodie Foster. Julianne Moore's eyes are not as sharp as Jodie Foster's, and there is something missing in them. And in terms of momentum, it's not that aggressive. There are some failures in this role. Before watching this film, I always felt that Hannibal's appearance time was too little in the previous films. This film should have a lot of scenes. After watching it, it really is. Anthony Hopkins is finally a real hero. He played equally well. But it looks more elegant and gentler than the first two, a little less evil and a little more soulful. Maybe because it's a romance movie.
The film is the work of great director Ridley Scott. I've always liked his directing style. Although it is more commercialized, the style of the film is grand and magnificent, which is in line with the plot of each film, and the same is true for this film. It's not as gloomy and dark as the first two, but it's also a shade of gray. There are many big scenes in the film, such as the overhead shots of mansions, museums, and the panorama of Rome, giving people a broad vision. For the bloody shots, the film did not perform too much rendering, which is very suitable. The layout of the scene and the angle of framing are also in line with the theme of the film.
The "Hannibal" series, from the previous three psychiatric stories, changed the style and turned into an alternative love affair. This turning point is big enough. However, I can finally stop watching that old-fashioned way of reasoning, analyzing, and solving cases. Such a sequel, which has changed the original fixed mode, is very novel and I like it very much. All in all, an offbeat romance film in the guise of a crime film.
