As one of the sequel films of "The Silence of the Lambs", "Youth Hannibal" can be an independent crime suspense film, but it also assumes an incentive and motive for us. The generation of any psychological problems can be traced back to his Early experiences. In 1944, the little boy Hannibal had died with her sister Misha, leaving behind a brand-new ogre trained by the war criminals of World War II, who had long since been unable to find their way home.
On the Eastern Front of World War II, a small farm in Lithuania, Hannibal, his sister Misha and their parents lived in war. However, in an accident, in a firefight between the Soviet army and the German army, this small farmhouse became a battlefield, and both parents died in the chaos, leaving only the Hannibal brothers and sisters who were still children. Even more unfortunate is that when a group of starving soldiers devoured his last relative alive, this childhood trauma buried deep hatred in the heart of young Hannibal, people can eat people too, you It’s just to obtain the energy for survival from food. It’s not difficult to explain that at the end of the second film of the series, Grandpa Hannibal let him protect Clarice (it can be seen as the incarnation of his sister Misha and Mrs. Purple). He injured himself, but shared human flesh with two children on the plane, saying that the food on the plane was rubbish.
The terrifying past is suppressed by the subconscious, and the conscious Hannibal in the movie reappears in the Soviet orphanage 8 years later. I don't want to judge "Soviet" here, but at least this environment will only make him a monster faster for Hannibal.
Hannibal escaped from the orphanage based on a photo of his uncle, and traveled alone across the European continent to his uncle's manor in France. Although he did not see his deceased uncle, he met another important woman in his life, Mrs. Purple ( The good Japanese actresses are indeed in the AV industry, and every time such an important role is played by Chinese actresses, Aunt Gong Li is indeed a movie queen). She is a dual identity, filling Hannibal's lack of maternal love and serving as his soulmate. With the help of Mrs. Purple, the young Hannibal gave full play to his talents and obtained extremely high attainments in artistic cultivation, Bushido and medicine. Why Medical Anatomy? This also paved the way for the future development of the film.
Mrs. Zi buried her hatred deeply for Hannibal's healthy growth, but seeing Mrs. Zi being molested by a dirty butcher, his anger was uncontrollable, and a group of dirty skirmishers broke into his final In hiding, he flayed his sister alive and enjoyed her "thin skin and tender meat". Only Hannibal himself knew the real pain of this kind of primitive trauma, not to mention from the detective who learned that this butcher was still in World War II. A Nazi accomplice, then, he must be unforgivable. Killing the butcher, Hannibal was full of pleasure, but Mrs. Zi sensed the danger, hatred did not go away from Hannibal, it was only temporarily suppressed.
The detective inadvertently gave Hannibal another chance to self-suggest. He learned how to investigate the enemy's skills and methods during an interrogation. Coupled with his increasingly sophisticated research on anatomy, he began his own revenge plan.
The small wooden hut in those days is now only left with dead branches and rotten tiles, and a wild boar head shouting jewels. One of the enemies wanted to kill Hannibal in this deserted wooden house, but he didn't know that Hannibal, who had martial arts skills, was no longer the weak child he used to be. With ease, Hannibal captured him and after a period of torture. Enjoyed his cheeks. There may be a question here, why would Hannibal enjoy the body part of such a filthy person? If it is not a physical enjoyment, then it can only be at the spiritual level. Looking back on Mrs. Zi's lines, I found that this phenomenon can be explained as a "ceremony". In Japanese culture, beheading the enemy's head and hanging its head is a kind of ritual. A declaration of victory, and for Hannibal, he sacrificed his victory by eating the flesh of his enemies (the enemy's consumption of his sister's meat implied that he was a loser). Only when he later killed the enemy who had a daughter, did he not eat part of him, but kept a whole corpse for the daughter.
Faced with the last revenge target who has no power to fight back, Hannibal can solve him immediately, complete his revenge, and live a dull life with Mrs. Zi from now on. Stop, this is not a fairy tale. It turned out that the reason why Hannibal wanted to kill everyone present at the time was to cover up his "crime". Among the cold-blooded animals that eat his sister's body, he is one of them. When he was so hungry that he was unconscious, he also drank the soup made from his sister's body. This may be the original reason why Hannibal was so fascinated by physiological anatomy. Impulsively, that bowl of broth had saved his life, and he had watched how a group of distraught adults dismembered his sister's body. These words of the enemy made Hannibal's deep subconscious guilt dug out again, making him even more hysterical. This kind of sin that happened to him can never be forgiven, let alone spreading it on his own wounds. Enemy of salt. It's a pity that the filming of this episode of Hannibal's inner torment was too small, not even a single howl or a trace of panic. It didn't capture the audience's emotions, and it didn't give the actors more room to play. .
At the last moment, Mrs. Zi can end a person's life with one stroke to protect Hannibal. How can Hannibal "stop"?
—Forgive them.
—Never!
Hannibal couldn't forgive them, he couldn't forgive himself, he couldn't forgive the destruction of his family by the war, and he couldn't forgive the wounds of the war that left Mrs. Zi with scars for the rest of her life. If you can't let go of the past, you can't treat the present life with love. This is the most humanistic view of purely rational psychoanalysis.
In a small village in Canada, a taxidermy shop, Hannibal completed his last specimen, a "wild boar head".
Hannibal has completed his revenge, but he still has a long life to live. What is it that supports him to continue to eat people's faces and cheeks? How did he change from a surgeon to a psychiatrist, turning passive revenge into active enjoyment ? Hannibal is a fictional character after all, and this so-called previous work did not try to interpret the above problems, but also to give future generations more creative space in the future, maybe it is really powerless.
In April 2013, another series of TV series - the brand new American drama "Hannibal" will tell you about Hannibal's early career as a psychiatrist in North America. Usually American dramas about crime series are still very reliable. I hope it is not an inferior weekly drama that blindly caters to the audience's heavy taste like domestic dramas, and only relies on the gimmick of "Hannibal" to fool people.
