Cares only about you

There is still a certain gap with The Silence of the Lambs. I feel that the first half of the plot is a bit bland. It is the love for the Silence of the Lambs that keeps me going.

But I have to say that every character in the movie is made of flesh and blood

The greed of Italian policeman Pazzi led him to die on the gallows in an extremely grotesque and twisted pose, just like Judas and his ancestors. And behind him, Hannibal waved to the camera with a smile, as if he had not just completed a brutal murder, but had just visited an exquisite exhibition. So far, Hannibal's cruelty can be seen, so his relationship with Clarice moved me even more.

Mayson Verger is Hannibal's own masterpiece, his madness written both on his grotesque face and in his grotesque patterns of behavior. With destroying Hannibal as his ultimate goal in life, he did not hesitate to pay a lot of money to reward those who reported the crime, raised a herd of bison so that Hannibal could feel the feeling of being eaten raw, and even manipulated FBI agents to persecute our poor Clarice. I have to say, based on his attitude towards his personal doctor, the doctor finally pushed him down to feed the cow, which didn't surprise me at all. Crazy Hannibal's victim became a madman and finally died of his own madness.

Finally, I want to talk about the heroine Clarice. I feel that Clarice is the absolute opposite of Hannibal. She is smart, dedicated, brave, just, and witty. When she saved the "Silence of the Lambs" when she was a child, it can be seen that the sympathy and compassionate temperament in her is exactly what Hannibal lacks. Perhaps this is why Hannibal was initially attracted to her.

But aside from the apparent complete opposite, I think Hannibal and Clarice are actually very similar, and it is because of their similarity that the spark of love between the two is born. As a child, Clarice desperately rescued a lamb in the hope of setting it free. Change the situation, isn't Clarice himself a lamb to be rescued in the FBI? She is conscientious and responsible for capturing Hannibal to maintain justice, and as a result, she is either investigated or dismissed every day; despite this, she still sticks to her post, and in the end, she and Hannibal are chained together to try to catch him. From this point of view, Clarice is like a lamb in a fence, who is in danger but does not know how to get out of it, and Hannibal acted as the role of childhood Clarice at this time to rescue Clarice in distress and help her regain her freedom .

This world is not black and white. Angels and devils are diametrically opposite but so similar. They meet, fall in love, and finally perish together.

Like Silence of the Lambs, I think the ending part of the movie is the climax of the whole story. At the critical moment when the police arrived, Clarice handcuffed himself and Hannibal together, Hannibal threatened "This is gonna really hurt" and the knife fell, I thought Clarice's hand was broken, but the next scene immediately gave Clarice intact Close-up of unharmed hands

The last shot of Hannibal dangling his arms on the plane is the best footnote to this true love, all without words. Perhaps at the last emergency moment, driven by adrenaline, the relationship between the two reached its peak. Hannibal was reluctant to hurt Clarice, and Clarice let Hannibal go...

The relationship between angels and demons is full of danger and unforgettable. "That's my girl."

It feels like another story about Beauty and the Beast, like a moth to a flame. The blueprint for this kind of story really eats me to death. Suddenly I think of klaus' confession to Caroline in The Vampire Diaries, "A person who is only capable of doing terrible things, for some reason, cares only about you." In the past, I didn't understand this kind of morbid feeling, and felt that love could not be above morality. But now I think that maybe sometimes the heroine just likes this kind of dangerous feeling.

Because danger means uncontrollable, and uncontrollable means stimulation.

Cares only about you

It's a wonderful love
