Many people in the original time and space regard The Silence of the Lambs as a horror movie and a police movie, but in fact, this is a work that deeply criticizes the problems of human society and causes ultimate philosophical thinking.

Capitalist society has created a pervert like Bison Bill, who has killed so many people and done so many evils, does this society care?

Not care!

Those living beings that have been turned into human skins are just a number on the FBI's missing persons investigation papers!

It wasn't until the parliamentarian's daughter was kidnapped that the police began to beat the chickens. What is this? This is a society that belongs to the elite, to the ruling class.

The rule of law, equality, justice?

Forget it!

In it, when Hannibal is ridiculing the parliamentarian Mimi, it is simply the biggest irony of the "rules of the game of justice" in this society - a parliamentarian, in order to save his daughter, turned to the criminal, and finally got away with it, and the criminal ran away, this is the plot.

Why should a congressman break the rules? If an ordinary person's daughter was kidnapped by Buffalo Bill, would anyone care? If it wasn't for Agent Clarice, who was born a civilian, who took the risk and insisted, and finally couldn't save the hostage?

This is just like Gong Li asked Qiao Feng, Qiao Feng's answer, if it weren't for the councilor's daughter, the final result would actually be the same as the previous victim, just kill and peel the skin.

In the finale, when Clarice discovers that the system she has fought for all her life is inherently evil, with the help of Hannibal, she eats the brain of Crandler, the spokesperson of this system, and then the fairy couple elopes hand in hand - not ordinary hearty!

Of course, the movie must not be filmed like this, otherwise, the three views will not be correct.

The film is very gentle, but still retains the image of Clarice Justice, who has been resisting.

Even so, the film expresses the idea that the interests of the ruling class are more important than anything else.

The reason why the Silence of the Lambs is so classic in the original time and space is because of its profound criticism and thinking about society.

If there is anything in human behavior that is difficult to express in film, it is not crazy behavior, nor the consciousness of the mind that produces these behaviors, but the potential parts of the mind that cannot be realized by themselves, and the history and patterns of individual and community activities on which these potential parts are based.

In the movie, the heroine is interpreted as a combination of rigidity and softness, This is reflected from the very beginning of the movie, in the beginning of the shooting of those shots, after the early morning training when Gong Li returned to the training base to find Crawford, all the people she met were tall and tall, both men and women, all set off Gong Li's thinness, when she took the elevator, a male student in the elevator, Gong Li's height was only to people's chests and even waists, and she could only look up when she watched, which clearly showed her character characteristics.

Therefore, in the whole filming process, Gong Li was more nervous and anxious when expressing the characteristics of the characters, panic about the unpredictable spiritual world of others, and the hidden worry of losing control of the nightmare in his heart, and all this naturally seemed unconscious, only appearing in the corners of Gong Li's eyes, mouth and fingertips in some moments.

Dr. Hannibal is utterly insane, but what if you consider that "madness" may just be a way of distinguishing individuals from those who are imprisoned and restricted from knowing the truth in that fundamentally untenable set of social rules?

At least that's what Hannibal thinks, he is the designer and master of his own world, Nietzsche's Superman. Ordinary people who are trapped by the rules and cannot recognize their own predicament, if they violate Hannibal's rules (in his own words, faux pas), will be told by Hannibal in the most direct way that these rules exist: eat.

By eating something, one establishes such something as something other than oneself, and because of the establishment of the other, one realizes that oneself is different from it.

So Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal shows a high degree of freedom and fanaticism.

Although Gong Li was outside the cage, he was restrained and helpless everywhere in front of him. There is a kind of urgency when she is forced everywhere in her lines, and Hopkins is so soothing and elegant in every sentence, without the slightest discomfort.

To use an Internet buzzword, "however, he has already seen everything".

In terms of expression, the horror of the Silence of the Lambs is not made of blood, brains, and human livers, but is carved out with a lot of details: the sound of breathing throughout, the cell that goes deep underground, and the perspective of the murderer.

During the shooting, when Gong Li approached Hannibal in the cell and Bison Bill in the basement, he had to climb up the stairs and pass through a series of doors, symbolizing that both Hannibal and Bison Bill were in hell. The camera also seems to be looking at Gong Li all the time, as the camera mimics the scrutinizing gaze of the men around her, and when she enters a dangerous place, the camera often waits for her inside the place, rather than following her.

Thematically, the horror of the Silence of the Lambs is not actually a third-rate old meme like "cannibalism", but a real fear that everyone has to face - the resistance to climb from the bottom of society, the discrimination and threats encountered by women, the overwhelming violence, the bondage that cannot be resisted, and the absolute loneliness.

Just like Qiao Feng's visit to the class after watching a day's shooting, Gong Li revealed more of a vulnerable and helpless side in the darkness of Bison Bill's basement.

The classic of "The Silence of the Lambs" is that it does not begin with an ogre, but gradually approaches the ogre through the eyes and thoughts of a young woman. The whole movie is based on the PBI female agent played by Gong Li, and there is no hard switch in the middle.

But there are too many commonalities between the heroine and Hannibal, and in the peculiar relationship between the sabre-rattling, the image of the male protagonist Hannibal, who has few scenes, is perfectly established through this peculiar common relationship.

Both of them are adept at solving problems for themselves by persuading others - Lecter instigates his annoying cellmate to bite his tongue and kill himself, and the heroine convinces Lecter to help him track down the serial killer "Buffalo Bill".

At the same time, they are all rejected by the world they aspire to - Hannibal is rejected by humans as a serial murderer and ogre, and the heroine is rejected by the police as a woman. Both are tormented by a sense of powerlessness - Lecter feels powerless because he is locked up in a highest-level prison and has to be tied up and put on a mask when transferred, while the heroine feels powerless because she is surrounded by a group of men, not only outperforming them everywhere, but also having to endure their lewd gaze all the time.

The whole film is very symbolic, and every detail has a meaning. This is a really good horror movie, and it goes straight to the heart of people.
