At the same time, it is a movie that needs to be watched very carefully, because it contains suspense and clues everywhere and will be missed inadvertently. I still remember when Hannibal met clarice for the first time, he said that the painting on the wall of his prison was "Domo Seen from Bovid" by Florence. Later, clarice discovered that Wild Bull Bill lived in Bovid, Ohio. Hannibal told her the address of the bison when they first met!
Hannibal lecter, a terrible beast! This is what movies remind us all the time, whether by someone or him. When he first appeared, people felt his evil very clearly. He stood quietly in the middle of the cell, just standing quietly, his hands hanging down. But immediately, people felt that they were not at attention, but just at ease-like a beast walking around. His voice is so arrogant that he simply disdains to use his profound wisdom on ordinary people. His eyes are hollow and sharp, and he can see people's hearts.
He is a learned man and a serial killer. Because his crime is characterized by eating a certain part of the victim's body, he is called "Hannibal the Cannibal", but The Fallen Lamb tells the story of looking for another serial killer "Buffalo Bill". It is precisely because no one can find a clue from Hannibal's mouth that is conducive to finding Buffalo Bill, that the top officials of the FBI thought of sending a young beauty novice clarice to investigate. Thus, beauty and the beast became the center of this horror story.
When the film is adapted from a best-selling novel that many people are familiar with, it is difficult to shoot. Director Jonathan Damon undoubtedly realized this, but he didn't give up eating because of choking, but seized the opportunity. In the first scene of Hannibal's appearance I mentioned earlier, if the actor's acting skills are poor, maybe what we saw will be a failure. But that's the great Anthony Hopkins! The Englishman inherited the traditional style of European filmmakers and attached great importance to the immanence of the role. Many crazy plots and paragraphs performed by Hopkins in the film are preserved by Damon, which makes Hannibal's evil continue.
So it is inevitable that Jodie Foster will be robbed of a lot of glory by Hopkins, but the courage and determination of female agent clarice is still the core of the film. Although her taste in clothes is not elegant, and she tries to hide her West Virginia accent and dreams and memories that have been lingering in her mind, she can summon up all the courage to face, face a killer who kills people without blinking an eye, face a conceited boss, face a pair of contemptuous and lewd eyes around her … face herself. She tried her best to save the girl caught by Bill, and at the same time, she also tried to wake herself up from the nightmare. We all have this dream.
This is an excellent film, created by a group of excellent people, and has made outstanding achievements. It includes five most valuable Oscars: best actor, best actress, best film, best director and best screenplay. It is recognition, affirmation and interpretation. There are not many films in the film history that deserve our repeated recollections, but The Silence of the Lambs is undoubtedly one of them.
