It turns out that there is a reason for Hannibal's perversion. His father was a baron in Lithuania and his family was rich. In 1944, he had to move his family to France because of the war. In a villa on the outskirts of France, he witnessed the tragedy of his parents being killed by a bomber. Then he and his sister unfortunately became prisoners of a group of German remnants. The ground was frozen, and the younger sister contracted pneumonia. Several German soldiers killed and ate his younger sister because of lack of food. Hannibal watched it all start to quiet down, and he went alone to find his aunt (played by Gong Li). With her help, Hannibal completed his studies and began a journey of revenge. (Although Gong Li's English is very ugly, she has basically successfully created a successful female image)
Hannibal Klett was one of many war victims. When the group of German deserters looked at the head of his most beloved sister, his inner demon was completely released, and his heartstrings were plucked by some force. He longed for revenge, he longed to make himself strong so that he could not be bullied by others, and his inner world began to be closed to the outside world. It is precisely because of his active closure that the police's polygraph and psychologists have no effect on him. He doesn't think his revenge is a crime, he just thinks that those demons who eat his sister should kill for their lives. So this film makes Hannibal Clayt, the demonic character in The Silence of the Lambs, sympathetic. The war has broken all ethics and social order, and people cannibalize each other. All are, so Hannibal Claret has been advertised the justice of his revenge behavior, so such a perverted killer still escaped legal punishment after slaughtering 7 people, and also won the sympathy of the audience. This is where the film shines. There are inner conflicts and contradictions intertwined everywhere. The audience can't tell the object of sympathy at all. Wrong German criminals, because when they Behannibal killed them, they too had a family and a daughter as lovely as Misha. This reminds me of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold". Killer Leon is also such a character. He has been conflicted about whether to save Matilda for a long time, and he has been conflicted for a long time about whether to wash his hands for Matilda... ...The audience actually shed tears for a professional killer after watching the whole film. Are they right and wrong, right and wrong? Obviously not, the audience is just caught in an ethical and moral cycle, which creates contradictions everywhere in their hearts. Sympathy or anger, put on a costume, I am still me. When he killed the last German deserter, he shouted and used a knife to draw a big M on the man's chest. So many years of depression, for the dead parents, for the miserable Misha, and for the poor self. The whole film also reached its climax.
Dr. Hannibal Clayt's heart has long since died with the death of his sister Misha, and no one can wake it up again. The rest of his life is to continue for revenge, his extremely perverted psychology, his super high IQ , His polite and elegant demeanor and intelligent speech, when he was eating people, his heart rate did not exceed 75 beats per minute, his mental game, his outstanding drawing ability and super memory, he was a perfect devil, He's a charismatic fiend, compared to the ridiculous and not terrifying cartoon fiends in James Bond films or in "Superman Returns" who dream of destroying the world with pets in their arms.
