Note before the text: This is just an afterthought. It was a sunny afternoon. After eating braised pork at noon, I gently stroked my fat belly and burped a fragrant burp to prepare for a nap. Just when my head was about to touch the desktop, the "little fairy with heavy taste" in the class came over. "Have you seen that "Hannibal"?" An irresponsible question, a blind curiosity and a pair of hands that can react faster than the brain made me almost pour out all the 12 yuan package at noon come out. How much I wish I could think about it at the time, thinking about whether the recommendation of "Heavy Mouth Fairy" can be read after dinner. Anyway, this was my first encounter with Hannibal. At that time, I watched three seasons in one breath. Although I was terrified and disgusted, I had an imperceptible pleasure. At that time, what attracted me was probably the curious and heavy mouth of this show-with the cannibal case as the background and clues, giving the protagonist a kind of "empathy" superpower. At that time, corruption was not a major selling point of British and American dramas. I didn't think much about the ambiguous relationship between the protagonists at that time, when I was young and ignorant. Put it now, just relying on this seemingly rotten and non-corrupt emotion can attract an audience of one vote. In fact, to be honest, behind the curiosity and heavy mouth, Uncle Mai's elegant, cold-blooded and high-IQ settings are indeed part of the attraction. But these, like the curious and the heavy mouth, are the outer packaging of the drama, which only plays a covering role for the core. This is what I just found out now. What is this show (season 1) really about? I think "Hannibal" is about the game process of a criminal with a high IQ and a mental disorder. To explain this, let's break it down into pieces. First of all, let’s talk about the most eye-catching thing – cannibalism. Abigail's father (later known as Abba) cannibals because of his deep love for his daughter. A is about to leave the house, and Dad wants to keep her by his side. In what way? It was to kill and eat her, so my father found many girls to try it out. Abba's behavior is actually quite religious. He believes that eating this person is to turn her into a part of himself. This reason is also the reason why cannibalism occurs in many religious activities. (Zhao Binglin's "Cannibalism" and Its Anthropological Interpretation) But Hannibal's cannibalism is completely a oath of the winner in the game. Especially when he made these human flesh into food for Jack, Will and others to eat, even more so. It is a kind of high-level ridicule. For him, the dining table is also a game table. By giving his friends and opponents cannibalism, he declares his victory at the level of IQ. Secondly, Hannibal's control of the people around him is also a game process. The first is Hannibal's control over Jack, whose method of control is to keep the secret of his marriage. Akari invites Jack's wife to dinner, and secretly observes the cracks in their relationship, looking for exploitable points. While making Jack and his wife forgive each other, they also increased their weight in Jack's heart. J may be a good FBI agent, but when it comes to the game of psychology, he is obviously not the opponent of the beast in front of him when he tastes human flesh. The best part should be said to be the psychological struggle between Hannibal and Will. On the surface, Will looks like he's been getting slapped by Hannibal this season. But in fact, the process of this matter is very complicated. Why didn't Will go into a morbid state when he dealt with the case before and got caught in it after dealing with A's case? For empathy itself, it's like a double-edged sword. Because while empathizing with the prisoner, Will will have a personality similar to the prisoner in his heart. In order not to affect his normal life, W must get out of the case after participating in the case, either by forgetting, or by hiding the new personality, etc. But in A's case, because of A's survival, W could not completely hide or forget his personality at that time. A is like a kind of memory waker that keeps W from never getting out of that particular case. Because to a certain extent, A is a continuation of his father, as can be seen from the plot of the exchange between the father and daughter when they were hunting in E03. And the smart H knows, or can see at a glance, the defect of this empathy ability. In E04, he hinted to W that he and W should take responsibility for Abigail, essentially trying to trap Will with this girl with a tragic experience. H doesn't know what method (actually said in later seasons) to make W's mental state worse and worse, and make W gradually believe that he is about to be destroyed by multiple personalities (the end of the Burning Angel episode). At the same time, he also repeatedly hinted that Abigail would be his father in the future (the plot of the fried egg in E04), in order to strengthen this prison. After leaving Will in a cocoon, Hannibal has to isolate him from the crowd. He provokes the relationship between Jack and Will. On the basis of Jack's trust, H makes the neurotic Will quickly become suspicious. With that, Will needs Hannibal all the more. But at this time, H's ambiguous feelings for W were also revealed. He took care of W with concern and objected to J's letting W return to the scene. In this regard, I understand it as a kind of possessiveness-H is shouting: This is my toy, don't spoil it for me! But Will is not a cover after all, in the situation where his spirit is getting worse, he still touches the clues of H little by little. This can't help but talk about the relationship between H and the prisoners in so many cases in the play. Hannibal has an Achilles heel, and that is his pride. In imitating the behavior of these perverted murderers, he sent a defiant signal. To be more extreme, he doesn't allow anyone more perverted than him. Imitation is also a game. By showing off his work, he still wants to express a kind of IQ victory. But as the saying goes, if you don't do anything, you will lose if you talk too much, and his pride makes him show his legs. When Will was imprisoned, he already understood all H's thoughts. As a psychology expert, he will not let it go. So the second season will definitely be a direct confrontation between H and W. (Pretend not to look) The image of the deer should be H's shadow in W's heart. In W's dream, a woman who couldn't see other people's faces was first stabbed by antlers, and then a fire was ignited. This is undoubtedly a concatenation and suggestion. Looking at it this way, in the first season, H had a great time and seemed to have the big picture. But W has not yet exerted its strength, and the good show is far from coming. The image of several supporting actresses in the play is also quite interesting. Dr. Bloom is a maternal character, and she should help W more in the back. Freddi Lorous's clothing has always been based on red, and the hair is also curly, a bit like Medusa, it should be quite aggressive. I remember that there was a scene in the previous episodes where she was holding tea with milk, and the tea in the cup was gradually chaotic, which should imply that her addition would make the whole situation more confusing. And H's psychotherapist, she seems to have known H's secret, let's see how she plays later. The first season is probably such a game process. Although it is not so thorough, it will not be called a "god stick drama". It makes me look forward to the future development of the story.
