The classic criminal image of Dr. Hannibal Lecter is widely known in the 1990 film adaptation of the novel "The Silence of the Lambs", which is known as the highest level of horror movies, and Hannibal Lecter has also become a perverted criminal. A representative figure whose many qualities also fascinate me.
He is an excellent doctor of psychiatry, and he is also proficient in medicine, but he ends up being a heinous criminal, which reminds me of a saying by Sherlock Holmes that a doctor becomes a criminal is the most terrifying, Because he has both courage and knowledge. I always feel that this sentence is vividly displayed in Dr. Lecter, and it fits quite well. He likes to eat human beings. When others say I will kill you, he says that I will eat you. Such an alternative way of crime gradually separates him from the ranks of ordinary criminals. And he is also an extremely rational and calm person. Even when he eats the tongue of a female nurse, his heart rate will not exceed 85. Although this is a morbid behavior, it is undeniable that he is indeed a person with high IQ and high emotional intelligence. , an alien that combines sanity and madness. He is a symbiosis of genius and demon, destined to be sent by God to punish mortals.
He does punish some sinners like hell, like he hanged the money greedy police officer from the library, and cut open his stomach and scattered his entrails so that the world could see through his body sin. But nothing was done to the police officer's wife. It's like taking off Paul's head and cooking his brain, just because Paul was "rude" to Sterling. But what makes people incomprehensible is that he does hurt some innocent people. Perhaps such an erratic and illogical behavior pattern is what a genius criminal should have.
He was imprisoned for eight years, but his brain thinking ability, rationality, and physical fitness have not deteriorated in the slightest, which means that he is still in a small secret room where he can't see anything else. With scientific and rational thinking and insist on necessary exercise. Not to mention physical exercise, although it is difficult to achieve scientific and reasonable exercise in the past eight years, it is indeed possible to do it. However, if you want to remain sensible in such a depressing and airtight environment, and your thinking ability has not decreased in the slightest, this is quite Difficulties are even things that are absolutely impossible for ordinary people to do. From this point of view, Dr. Lecter is indeed a genius different from ordinary people. His ability and wisdom are unimaginable by ordinary people.
As a psychologist, he was successful, not only academically, but also quite well, even terrifyingly, in practice. For example, an inmate who was also in the prison behaved rudely to Sterling and committed suicide that night. There is no doubt that Dr. Lecter broke the last line of defense of the prisoner's psychology, made him collapse and go crazy, and finally committed suicide. And the man who cut off the flesh from his face with glass, he said, for some reason, Hannibal's words always convinced him, and he felt that he was an absolutely credible and reliable person. , and finally under the psychological control of Hannibal, listen to his words to carry out self-harm. When Hannibal was caught by this man, the man asked him if you regretted not killing me and feeding the dogs, and Hannibal smiled calmly and said, no, I like the way you are. This also reflects Hannibal's strong inner world and perverted psychological quality. In the end, it was also a sentence, "Why don't you push him down, it will be counted on my head when the time comes" and let this man's faithful servant kill Hannibal's enemy. Such a powerful inner control is really rare.
