Hannibal is mortal too

If it weren't for the pearls in the front, this one is actually very good.

After all, after ten years, it is understandable that the protagonist cannot maintain the aura of the year. After all, it is an insurmountable classic.
Hannibal lost the graceful, wise and arrogant attitude of the time, especially the swift and aggressive distanced tones. Starling also lacks the stubbornness of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

God's love is incomprehensible. Around half the world and half the train station just trying to get her a pair of expensive shoes. (Not the placement of advertisements?) So the villain was caught. (Love really reduces IQ.) She came to arrest (rescue?) him, but was saved by him instead. He held her barefoot among the wild boars, and the wild boars did not attack him, it was a miracle. He carried her out of the warehouse and took morphine for her to sew her bullets. It is the tenderness towards a lover. In order to have dinner with her, he specially changed into a suit and evening clothes for her.

"I went halfway around the world to see how you free yourself. Free me (let me escape), okay? Tell me, will one day you say to me: No, if you love me, please don't do it "
In fact, he has already spoken his heart and said "love" plainly.
And Starling rejected him: "Never." The

last kiss, a love, maybe a goodbye kiss, he started pretending to bite and intimidate her, until he said "that's my girl" and turned into a tender kiss. It is from God to mortal. Only mortals are troubled by love. It was love that drove him to risk her life to approach him knowing she was going to arrest him. Even if the strong man broke his arm in the end, even at that moment, he still loved her and didn't hurt her. "It will really hurt this time," he said. He shed a tear as he swung the knife. It is the pain of breaking an arm, and it is also the pain of breaking a love. The background music is so sad.

Think about the arrogant look on his face when they first met him, the sound of snake spitting as if to intimidate her with the delicious food, to the last kiss. In fact, from the second time they met, he no longer called her "Starling", but "Clarice" without a sense of distance, or a more intimate "Clarice." I think it was after the kiss that Starling knew Be tempted yourself. Because while she was handcuffed, she was in tears. It's the conflict between love and the shackles of being unable to get rid of identity.

Although the plot is a bit fragmented, there are too many main characters. I just came to see the story of the two of them develop. In fact, thinking about it, it would be better if the story stopped abruptly in "Silence of the Lambs". "Love wants to touch and withdraw." It feels more beautiful. Or according to the ending of the novel, let's fly away together. (I just like to see the vulgar ending of lovers getting married.)
