That's my girl. - "Hannibal"

It may be that I only watched the first and second films by a week or two, which led to the discovery that the heroine still danced a bit after the change, but it gradually entered the state.

If the first is an eternal classic, it unfolds the story of good and evil, redemption and killing for us. That second book, as it's titled, expands on Hannibal for us.

It tells about such a very rational person who has almost no shortcomings and no weaknesses except cannibalism, and even his love has a little pious flavor.

There is no doubt that Dr. Lecter knew Starling well, so he predicted almost every step of her, but even so, he still knew that Starling who received the letter would use it as evidence to track him down Next, as if writing to a lover, I sent her a letter with the best materials and spices. He may have anticipated his feelings, or he may not, only to have taken on some romanticism when he finally discovered them. Coming to her house, stroking her sleeping cheek (or jaw?), pasting her avatar on the face of a magazine model, calling her, reminding her to "change the battery in three seconds"... In fact, this can also be done to a certain extent. It shows Starling's trust in Dr. Lecter, even a bit of attachment. Otherwise, the doctor wouldn't ask her to change her in three seconds and she would agree; if she was asked to go out, she would go out, wouldn't most people worry that the doctor would eat him? (I must be scared to death anyway... no matter how elegant he is, I still can't forget the death of the two policemen in the first part, Jesus and the face-skinning)

At the merry-go-round, he touched her hair, brushed past her like a provocation, and then Jin Chan escaped. Rescuing Hannibal from the siege of wild boars, she was shot, he picked her up and walked out of the wild boar herd. At first, I was a little surprised to see Starling going to save Hannibal like this. I couldn't help but think that she also found Buffalo Bill by herself in the first part (but that was an accident, and Starling didn't know her either." "Visit" is a murderer). But it became clear later that Starling had been suspended at this time. Even if she reported that Hannibal was here, she would only serve as a clue and would not be allowed to come in person; second, she had seen through, Tired, knowing that Hannibal wouldn't get justice if he went back. After all, in her opinion, Hannibal should indeed be punished, but it should not be "killed by a wild boar", nor should it be a way for Vicky to vent his personal desires.

Hannibal kills a lot of people, but in this movie, he's almost never completely innocent. Or a pedophile, or an insatiable greed that treats life like a piece of shit (to the homeless man who got stabbed to death, he just washed the blood off his hands)

Then came the climax phase, when she was put on a fitted evening dress and invited to dinner (even though it gave me a "real" scalp chill...). Then to the most classic:

Dr. : Tell me, Clarice, would you ever say to me? Stop. If you love me, you'd stop.??
Cla : Not in a thousand years.
Dr. : Not in a thousand years. That's my girl.

After that, Starling's attempt to attack failed, and the two fought fiercely on the surface, but the doctor was an overwhelming victory both physically and psychologically.

After that, it's the kiss. It's not abrupt at all, and it's unusually natural.

But when he kissed, or just after the kiss, he was handcuffed by her... It was unexpected and reasonable. I don't know if the doctor expected this level, but at least at this point, the "confrontation" between the two has reached a balance.

And Hannibal's threat, "this time will definitely hurt", and finally broke his arm for love, Hannibal left, and Starling met the FBI or police officers who came. The phrase "It's important to keep trying different things" on the plane and the scene of feeding the little girl's brain are like prophecies and hints.

Many fans of the original work said they didn't like the ending change, so they checked the ending of the original work. I found that I still prefer the open ending of the movie.
