"Young Hannibal": completely tore up my beloved DR.LECTER ■ text / Vulcan discipline
Just because of everything that has been suffered. then. My crazy behavior. Will definitely get pity. And salvation. --Inscription. Vulcan Ji.
If it is not because of the previous "Lambs", perhaps, I would like this movie quite a bit. If this movie is not under the banner of Hannibal, I would also like this movie. Because the Hannibal that Anthony Hopkins once performed impressed me too deeply, and when I have a good impression of a certain character, perhaps, it would be better for that character to be there. Staying in the dim state, I don't want to be dissected in such a flat way. However. None of this is possible. Since then, my beloved Hannibal has walked from a filthy place to the sun. This film advertised the prequel to "Lamb" thoroughly and ruthlessly dissected the character in a plausible way. But as an iron in the "Lamb" series, such an interpretation undoubtedly caused damage to the original classic screen image and even completely dismantled the original inherently blurred and heavy mystery. The original Hannibal looked elegant, deep, and insightful. His killing and his concept of "cannibalism" far surpassed the bloody reality, and looked more like Gothic, gorgeous and charming. But now, that intoxicating Hannibal is gone, completely torn apart by this movie.
Perhaps it can be said that the movies in this series are taking a diverging road. The commercial benefits that can be squeezed from the character "Hannibal" make this character more and more flat and boring. In "The Silent Lamb," Hannibal's image of cannibalism remained in a hint and was not clearly displayed; however, by the time "Hannibal", the art of cannibalism was already bloody. It was very intuitive and straightforward to show; when the "Red Dragon" came, the film even used the follow of a worshiper to show a more direct bleak. This series of films wiped out this increasingly flat character image forever on a long and farther road. However, the depth of the film has become more and more superficial and straightforward. The horror that made people think about it in the past was replaced by more and more bloody lack. Perhaps, it is impossible for us not to want to understand this fascinating character, but this straightforward anatomy is not what everyone wants to see.
Movies need to be imagined. Abandoning imagination and becoming intuitive, the charm of the film has weakened.
The movies in this series are doing like this. Turning all the imaginary space into a flat narration, Hannibal, when this blurred and inaccessible figure is stripped off and displayed naked in front of the world, how much bleak beauty can Hannibal have left. When I watched the movie, I thought, if this kid wasn't called Hannibal, that would be great. At least everything before will be preserved, and this movie, in fact, has done its due diligence.
What this movie tells is a terrifying story. During World War II, a family of Lithuanian barons ran to the countryside to escape the war, but they put themselves on a dead end. The lack of material supplies made the soldiers hungry and intolerable during the war, and the freezing snow covered all the edible things. An unarmed family became the most corrupt victim of this war. In his childhood Hannibal watched his parents pass away and watched the men eating the animals raw. In the end, when the animals couldn't even eat, they took his sister Misha and boiled it into broth and ate it. The hungry Hannibal also followed them to eat his sister's broth in a semi-conscious state. Such a tragic setting is only to allow Hannibal to find a reasonable psychological footnote about cannibalism in previous movies. As a result, the film became a straight story about a high-IQ medical student avenging his younger sister. Add a bit of cannibalism, a bit of bloody brutality, a bit of mystery, and a bit of indecent love with a nephew. In the name of Hannibal, completely tasteless.
Since "Memoirs of a Geisha", Hollywood's Gong Li has completely become a Japanese woman. Even if she is still kind and beautiful, Gong Li like this is still not that Qiuju-style Chinese woman. Before I watched this movie, I always heard that Hannibal and his aunt in this movie had an unfavorable love, but I didn't expect that this unfavorable love would happen in Gaspard. ·Ulier and Gong Li; what's more unexpected is that Gong Li appeared in this movie as a Japanese woman. Pulling Hannibal from the spiritual level to the cruel reality. Use the Japanese Bushido swordsmanship to kill people, eat meat, wear an old Japanese mask, and worship and yearn. It can be said that this movie tore Hannibal completely.
If it is said that this Hannibal is the later Hannibal, it does not seem to get my approval. It turns out that Hannibal's psychological suggestion and his best grasp of the character's psychology are basically not mentioned in this movie. Hannibal in this movie may be closer to a very calm surgeon than a psychologist, a ruthless killer with bare hands and martial arts, rather than an elegant doctor who can self-harm without hands. Maybe he should avenge his sister, but shouldn't he choose a more clever means than the calm killing shown in the movie.
In this movie. Hannibal is just a gimmick, and cannibalism is also a gimmick. Indecent love is still a gimmick. After removing all the gimmicks, except for the elegant name of Hannibal, in fact, this movie has nothing to do with the "Lamb" series. The more and more flattening "Lamb", the more and more tasteless and more brutal and bloody "Lamb". What this movie shows is the Hollywood model of commercial operations: profit, fame, commercial value and aesthetic values. In Hollywood movies, such sequels or first episodes abound, but I didn't expect that in the end, my beloved DR. LECTER would end in my infinite memory and mourning.
Gaspard Ulliel, the star of this movie, is also an actor I like very much, especially the infatuated and innocent soldier image he performed in "The Long Engagement". He still looks very charming in this movie, especially when he sneered, the angular dimple on his left face looked very charming. Cold and drifting. The film’s depiction of human nature is very detailed and in place. For example, in the case mentioned by the police officer, Hannibal had been frozen to death in the woods when he was a child, and the Hannibal who was killing now was just a poor man with insanity. He thought he was Hannibal. In fact, he is not. He was just a bloodthirsty fanatic who was obsessed with cannibalism, giving himself a magnificent reason in the name of Hannibal. Of course, all of what he said was based on Hannibal's arrest after he helped him catch the fugitive war criminals. However, he did not achieve this premise as he wished.
Obviously, such a statement cannot be realized in the movie, but the portrayal of the dark side of human nature can be described as perfect. He certainly has his reasons. He has to use extraordinary means to maintain this kind of justice for his justice. However, this way of doing things is still very filthy. There is no evidence to turn Hannibal into a prisoner and get the punishment he deserves for killing and cannibalism. However, this kind of slander that distorts the truth is used to achieve the ultimate goal of justice, this kind of justice. Although majestic, but also gloomy. Of course, there is such a possibility that if the young Hannibal had really been frozen to death in the woods, perhaps, the story would start to become fun again.
The film accused the war in a very subtle way. For example, Mrs. Purple played by Gong Li, whose family died in the atomic bomb that exploded on Hiroshima in World War II; or the police officer who traced Hannibal, whose family all died in the Nazi concentration camps; and the cannibals. Soldiers, if it weren't for war and material scarcity, they wouldn't be able to mutilate and eat the same kind, so there would be no tragedy of Hannibal... everything is because of war. In other words, everything in this movie and in the previous "Lambs" series of movies, the source is because of World War II. This kind of obscure accusation of war, to a certain extent, is an obscure political mockery of the U.S. government's current anti-war voice against the Iraq war and expresses the political metaphors of most American people's desire for peace, truce, and retreat. This gives this movie a relatively positive and realistic meaning. Of course, such a statement may seem far-fetched. However, even if it is far-fetched, if you watch this movie with this mentality, at least you won't be blindly rotten.
If I put aside the previous "Lambs", if it weren't for Hannibal's banner, I might like this movie a lot. Because this is actually a pretty good movie. Just because my beloved DR. LECTER was dismembered so flat, it made me unable to treat this movie objectively and like it. In fact, you don't necessarily have to find a reason for cannibalism for Hannibal; there is no reason, just a hobby, that is not good. Or, as the old Anthony Hopkins said, I hate rudeness; not for the flat and plain reasons that Gaspard Ulliel Jr. was looking for. Sad for my dead Anthony Hopkins version of the low Hannibal; also sad for the cold Hannibal version of the newly born Gaspard Ulliel. So far, there is no more words.
