The biggest feature of "Red Dragon" lies in the extra points of the emotional drama, which more deeply explores the heart of the perverted murderer, and it is because of love that the image of this perverted murderer is more distinct and unique. Ralph Fiennes plays the murderer Demon, in fact, in the world of normal people, he is lonely and taciturn. On the other hand, he is so paranoid and neurotic, which cooperates with Emily Watson's emotional drama of blind women, because neither of them are normal people. Let us have a deeper understanding of their emotional world.
There are two scenes in this film that I find particularly scary: 1. After Ralph Fien's Killer takes off his robe, after a rumored reporter tells about the literature about the 18th century "The Great Red Dragon" , forced the reporter to open his eyes and look at the tattoo on his back with a fierce tone, then he twisted his shoulders and waist, the red dragon tattoo enlarged and shrunk, when I saw this scene, I also felt that this tattoo caused I have a small degree of discomfort. 2. When Norton finds his son kidnapped by Ralph Fiennes in the house at the end of the movie, Norton uses sentences from Ralph Fiennes's childhood diary about his childhood psychological shadows to blame himself for being kidnapped. When the son was taken hostage, Ralph Fiennes, who was on the side, lost control of his emotions because he couldn't stand these sentences. I think the horror here is that everyone has weaknesses, no matter how cruel and cruel killers are. most vulnerable place.
There is no doubt that the light of Ralph Fiennes in this film completely overshadowed Edward Norton. Many people said that Norton's performance in this film was too commercial. I also think that he has been deliberately using facial expressions or Body language to express something, not like he wanted to use his temperament to exude something like in "American X-Files". Fiennes, on the other hand, is completely the opposite of Norton. He has no expressions and his tone is relatively slow and even shows some dull temperament, and even a bit pitiful, making the audience feel that he is not such a heinous person. And he just fanatically worships the 18th century literature "Red Dragon" and firmly believes that after he kills certain people, he will transform into a human dragon, but when he kills the woman he loves and or betrays the red dragon, he hesitates in it, even At one point, he wanted to pick up a shotgun and blasted his head, which Fiennes still did very well, because he tried to leave the woman he loved and tried to commit suicide in many places. There is something about him that can always make people feel the embarrassment of his helpless dilemma.
The first of the three is about a perverted murderer who helps the novice FBI find another perverted murderer. The character lines are indeed the deepest among the three, but the story line is relatively simple, and the clues given are a bit messy. The second part is completely Dr. Hannibal's solo show, the main line of the story is not clear enough, maybe I can't understand it. The third part is still more commercialized. It is not the novice FBI relying on a high-IQ murderer to find another murderer, but a confrontation between three high-IQ characters. The plot is compact and the story line is clear, and the clues given are easier. Understand that young literary and artistic people may reject this film, because this is the effect of commercialization.
PS. Norton's appearance in this movie can be said to be the pinnacle, combining sunshine and handsomeness.
