Many people in Yuanshikong saw the Silent Lamb as a horror film and a cop film, but in fact this is a work that deeply criticizes human social issues and arouses ultimate philosophical thinking.

Capitalist society has created a pervert like Buffalo Bill, killing so many people and doing so much evil, does this society care?

not give a damn about!

Those living beings turned into pieces of human skin are just a number on the FBI's missing persons investigation documents!

It wasn't until the congressman's daughter was kidnapped that the police began to beat them up.what is this?This is a society that belongs to the powerful and the ruling class.

legal system?equality?justice?

forget it!

When Hannibal teased Congressman Mimi, it was simply the biggest irony of the "rules of the game of justice" in this society-a Congressman, in order to save his daughter, turned to criminals, and finally played off. The criminal ran away, this is the plot.

Why can members break the rules?If the daughter of an ordinary person is kidnapped by Buffalo Bill, will anyone care?What if Agent Clarice, who was not born as a civilian, took the risk and persisted, and finally could not save the hostage?

This is just like Gong Li’s question to Qiao Feng, and Qiao Feng’s answer, if it were not the congressman’s daughter, the final result would actually be the same as the previous victim, just killing and skinning.

In the ending, when Clarice discovered that the system she was fighting for for life was evil in nature, with Hannibal's enlightenment and help, she ate the brains of Krendler, the spokesperson of this system. , And then the gods and relatives eloped hand in hand-not ordinary hearty!

Of course, the movie must not be shot in this way, otherwise, the three views would be incorrect.

The movie is very gentle, still retaining the image of Clarice's justice, and has been resisting.

Even so, the film also expresses the idea that the interests of the ruling class are above all else.

Why the Silent Lamb is so classic in the original time and space is because of its profound criticism and thinking of society.

If there is anything in human behavior that is difficult to show in movies, it is definitely not crazy behavior, nor is it the consciousness of the mind that produces these behaviors, but the potential part of the soul that cannot be realized by itself. And the history and patterns of individual and community activities based on these potential parts.

In the film, the heroine is interpreted as a female police detective who is hard and soft, working hard in the patriarchal society. This is reflected from the beginning of the film, in the initial sequence of the shots, training in the early morning Later, when Gong Li returned to the training base to find Crawford, everyone she met was tall and magnificent. Both men and women brought out Gong Li’s smallness. When she was in the elevator, she was a male student in the elevator. Gong Li's height only reaches her chest or even waist, and she can only look up when she looks, which clearly shows her character.

Qiao Feng and Gong Li have spoken carefully about their understanding and vision of the characters inside. Therefore, during the entire shooting process, Gong Li was more nervous and anxious when showing the characteristics of the characters, and was about unpredictable others. The panic in the spiritual world is the hidden worry about the loss of control of the nightmare deep in his heart; and all this naturally seems unconscious, only appearing at the corner of Gong Li's eyes, mouth and fingertips at certain moments.

Dr. Hannibal, completely crazy, but what if you consider that "madness" may be just a way of distinguishing individuals who are imprisoned and limited to realizing the truth in the fundamentally unreliable set of social rules?

At least Hannibal thinks so. He is the designer and master of his own world, the superman described by Nietzsche.Those ordinary people who are trapped by the rules and cannot recognize their own plight, if they violate Hannibal's rules (in his own words, rude), they will be informed by Hannibal in the most direct way that these rules do exist: eat Drop.

By eating something, you establish it as something other than yourself, and you realize that you are different from it because of the establishment of the other.

Therefore, Hannibal played by Anthony Hopkins shows a high degree of freedom and fanaticism.

Although Gong Li was outside the cage, he was restrained and helpless in front of him.Everywhere in her lines can feel a kind of rush when being persecuted, and every sentence of Hopkins is so soothing, elegant, and there is no discomfort.

To use an internet buzzword, "However, he has already seen everything".

In terms of expression techniques, the horror of the Silent Lamb is not piled up with blood, brains, and human livers, but is carved out with a lot of details: the sound of breathing throughout the whole process, the prison cell deep underground, the perspective of the murderer .

When filming, when Gong Li approached Hannibal in the cell and Bill Bison in the basement, he had to climb down a flight of stairs and pass through a large gate, which symbolized that Hannibal and Bill Bison were in hell.The shots taken also seem to be looking at Gong Li all the time, because the camera is imitating the eyes of the men around her; and when she enters a dangerous place, the camera often waits for her inside the place instead of following her. Behind.

From the subject point of view, the horror of the Silent Lamb is not actually a third-rate old stalk of "cannibalism", but a real fear that everyone has to face-resistance from the bottom of society, discrimination and threats faced by women , Overwhelming violence, irresistible bondage, absolute loneliness.

Just like Qiao Feng's visit to the class watched a day of shooting, Gong Li showed more fragile and helpless side in the darkness of Bison Bill's basement.

The classic of "The Silent Lamb" is that it does not start with an ogre, but gradually approaches the ogre through the sight and thinking of a young woman.The whole movie is based on the female pbi agent played by Gong Li, and there is no hard switch in between.

But there are too many things in common between the heroine and Hannibal. In the peculiar relationship between the heroine and Hannibal, the image of the hero Hannibal who has few roles is perfectly established through this peculiar common relationship.

Both are good at persuading others to solve their own difficulties-Lecter instigated him to bite his tongue and commit suicide, and the hostess convinced Lecter to help him track down the serial murderer "Bison Bill".

At the same time they were all rejected by the world they yearned for-Hannibal was rejected by humans as a serial murderer and ogre, and the heroine was rejected by the police as a woman.Both of them were tortured by a sense of powerlessness-Lecter felt powerless because he was in a prison of the highest level. He was also tied up and put on a mask when transferred. The hostess felt powerless because she was trapped in a group. Surrounded by men, not only are they shorted everywhere, but they also have to endure their obscene sight from time to time.

The symbolism of the whole film is very strong, and every detail has meaning.This is a truly excellent horror film, which is directed at people's hearts.
