Hannibal Lecott is one of the greatest villains in movie history, but it's an incredible thing to have a villain as a protagonist. Because the regular villain is just used to set off the protagonist. But here, the flesh-and-blood villain is the protagonist.
The film maintains a calm rhythm and stable emotions throughout, and even reaches its climax in the last twenty minutes. Although it is slow, there is no problem with the arrangement of the plot structure. Unlike "Silence of the Lambs", this film puts almost all of its focus on emotion. Stalin re-engaged in the case of Dr. Lecott, listening to him dissect himself word for word, from lamb theory to harrier-dove theory. Seemingly one-sided listening, it is not a mutual exchange of feelings. When you are chasing and longing for a person, for whatever reason, it all comes from the accumulation of feelings. When Stalin finally saw Hannibal from the surveillance video again, he was shocked when he dropped all the videotapes in his hands, apart from the excitement of finally finding a clue after going through hardships, there seemed to be something else, long time no reunion?
What happened to Hannibal after leaving the Stalin he was thinking about? There is nothing but charisma to see from Anthony Hopkins. The entire film also spares no effort to create this character. From the ray of light by the window that hit Hannibal's face, to the cold light of the thin blade flashing in the dark. From Hannibal's leisurely and barefooted welcoming to guests, to his unchanging face in the downtown area, he is superbly skilled. From a whistle to a wink. Every arrangement of Hannibal's shots is delicate and wonderful. Regarding emotions, the most moving part of this film is no different from the two people in a pair of handcuffs. Hannibal's sentence: This time, it will really hurt. The whole world will not hurt me, only you will make me prefer myself to hurt myself. I don't want to hurt you either. This time, is it possible to impress you in the slightest. Will there be a day when you will tell me, if you love me, don't do it. 【Turn】
