This classic horror film from 1991 is based on the story of cannibal and psychologist Hannibal and rookie agent Starling.
The film tells the story of Starling, who has just entered the industry, turning to Hannibal, a cannibal who is serving a sentence in prison, and the two work together to hunt down another murderer, Buffalo Bill.
Anthony Hopkins (Anthony Hopkins) played only 20 minutes, but the perfect interpretation of the killer, let him win the Oscar for best actor in one fell swoop.
In the film, he does not have any body language, the only action he does is to stand or sit, but only rely on his eyes and speech to reflect Hannibal, a cannibalistic but unusually intelligent and personable psychology professor, especially he. The ghostly smile at the camera has become a scene that many viewers will never forget.
But today's focus is not about "Silence of the Lambs", but about another cannibalistic movie - "Raw"
was once rated as NC-17 on the eve of its release in the United States, that is, audiences under the age of 17 are prohibited from watching- - Films of this level are classified as adult films, and minors are firmly prohibited from watching.
It was later reluctantly downgraded to an R rating, and viewers aged 13-17 also need to be accompanied by parents and adults.
Because blood, violence, and perversion have become the biggest labels of the film, 30 people left the venue early during the screening at the Gothenburg Film Festival in Sweden, and some people vomited and fainted. When it was screened at the Toronto Film Festival, an ambulance was even prepared to help.
Such a surprising film naturally aroused the curiosity of many fans. As soon as the film released resources, it instantly swept through the circle of friends. It is comparable to "Silence of the Lambs" becoming the best thriller and horror film in the past decade.
The film is not complicated, justin, a teenage girl who was born a vegetarian in a family.
Such a beautiful and quiet girl has never eaten meat since she was a child.
But that all changed when she left her parents and went to veterinary school.
When the new students start school, they must receive the so-called education of the seniors and sisters as usual, and they are drenched by the senior seniors with a large bucket of pig blood.
And even the biggest test of admission is to eat a rabbit kidney.
Her sister, who was in the same school, instead of helping her, forcibly stuffed the rabbit's kidney into her mouth.
Then Justine's skin began to develop a red rash, itching unbearable, and the erythematous skin began to peel off.
Like turning a cocoon into a butterfly, the flesh-eating demon in her body was truly awakened, and her resistance to meat turned into a desire for meat.
From stealing cooked meat to stealing raw meat that his boyfriend kept in the refrigerator, his craving for meat is growing.
In the contradiction of being deeply involved in her own changes, her sister accidentally cut off one of her sister's fingers during the dispute when she wanted to change Justin from a girl to a woman and shave her pubic hair with a knife, causing her sister to feel dizzy. past.
Justin, who got into a big accident, called first aid and prevented the dog from eating the finger that his sister cut off. When he wanted to put the finger in the refrigerator, he did not resist the devil in his heart. Blood on Yun's finger.
Later, she ate her sister's finger abruptly like a chicken's paw, and she became a cannibal.
At this time, the unconscious sister just happened to see this scene. It was a surprise that the sister concealed it. It turns out that the sister also has such a hobby.
The sister also taught her how to hunt her prey, just like the beginning of the film.
On the side of the road, observe the speeding approaching cars, and then pounce on them, not to commit suicide or touch porcelain, but to deliberately cause traffic accidents.
And then easily eat the driver who died in the traffic accident.
Food color, sex also. Explain that food and sex are human nature.
In movies, appetite is often used to refer to sexual desire. In "Eat Raw", the gradual release of appetite also refers to the enlightenment and awakening of girls to sexuality.
Before entering school, under the care of her parents, Justine was a pure and quiet little girl Justine.
But after seeing that the first night was a "promiscuous" sex party, and then after seeing a scene where it was GAY's roommate (and later boyfriend) blowjob.
It also began to arouse her inner sexual desire, and she began to change. She put on a skirt that she didn't want to wear, danced and chatted in front of the mirror, and was full of charm.
She finally took the initiative to have a relationship with her boyfriend. In that intense sex scene, the desire for cannibalism reached its climax in the climax of sexual desire.
But she restrained her own nature and bit her arm to avoid extending her fangs towards her boyfriend.
Of course, there is also a scene where the sisters are torn apart in the film, when the sister shows her animalistic side to her boyfriend.
Feeling angered by being insulted, the two of them fought in front of the public at the school, but they still used to chew.
The older sister bit off a piece of meat from her younger sister's cheek.
Later in the film, the two sisters who are connected by fate seem to reconcile, but in fact they take completely different paths.
The elder sister still couldn't control the cannibal demon in her heart, released her own nature, ate Justin's boyfriend, killed him, and finally went to jail.
And Justin used reason to control her inner desires and her own nature, returning to a vegetarian state and a captive family.
The ending of the film was very unexpected.
When the father opened the chest pain to reveal the scars all over his body, he realized the Justin sisters' cannibalism.
It turned out to be her mother's genes. As an adult mother, she has already controlled herself very well. What Justin, who has since started to eat vegetarian food, has to learn to control her own desires.
It's hard to imagine that the director used such a skilled camera language and sound effects in the debut film, and the director who completely expressed the heroine's hunger and desire for meat came from a French female director born in the 1980s - Julia Ducano,
the director The ambition and pattern are great, and it is also full of feminism, which is shown in many places in the film.
At the beginning of the movie, when the daughter eats the meat, it is the mother who interferes with the waiter.
On the way to take his daughter to school, the father drove the car while the mother put her feet on the front panel of the car.
In the scene where the eldest daughter was pushed out of the ward in a wheelchair, it was the mother who intervened and had a verbal conflict with the younger daughter. After that, the father became the mediator of the conflict between the mother and daughter. marriage and family.
And the character of the boyfriend in the film is gay, who doesn't like women by nature, and is forced to have sex with Justin.
Pay attention to the scene when the two are making love. In the contest of sex between the two, the female character ends up in the upper position, while the male character is passive and in the lower position.
At the same time, the scene of the two sisters standing and urinating, symbolizing the owner's male penis, is also full of femininity.
The scene and major of the veterinary school chosen by the director are also extremely delicate. What the film wants to tell us is that the reason why people are human is to be able to control their desires. If you can't control your desires, you are like beasts and animals who have no desire to control.
At the same time, desire is also a human instinct, not like a domesticated animal. For example, in the play, Justin is restricted and bound by the so-called rules of senior students and teachers. Excessive repression also wipes out the nature of being a human being.
On the road of growth, especially in adolescence when various desires are awakened, the key to whether a person can grow into a civilized and healthy person is to find a balance between controlling and releasing desires.
