I watched this film after watching "The Silence of the Lambs", mainly because I didn't think deeply about "The Silence of the Lambs" at that time, so I didn't really understand its connotation, and I wanted to re-understand the problem from this film. However, after all, it is not the same film. Although the stories are similar, the connotations are different.
I feel that the first half of this film is more attractive, and the second half is always revenge, and there is nothing special about it. It started with two children playing happily, followed by the city where the war was pervading. The male protagonist's family escaped into the depths of the forest, but in the end, they still couldn't escape the brutal war environment, leaving the sister and herself cuddling with each other. Then a few soldiers came to Hannibal's house and ate his sister when he was hungry, and he saw it all. Of course, these images are hidden from us in the nightmares that continued to occur when he grew up. Hannibal grew up living with his aunt, studying Japanese culture and attending medical school. He hated rude people, so he cut off the head of the butcher who insulted his aunt. Everything after that is for the sake of my sister, on the road of revenge, killing and eating the flesh of the few people who participated in the murder of her when she was a child. I remember the detective who had been following the murders saying, roughly, that Hannibal was dead when he was a teenager, and now this is a lunatic.
In fact, compared with Hannibal when he was a child, it is really sad to be different when he grows up. People are not born with the genes of the devil, and the environment can also change the trajectory of a person's life.
