Later, she left the ranch and came to what was actually an orphanage, the Lutheran House.

The only way out of the childhood of poor family, death of father, and wandering like an orphan is to study, compete in reading, and win in the competition, so as to get ahead, win glory for his parents, and win glory for Starling's family.

Seven months of foster care at the Montana Ranch taught Starling what it meant to be slaughtered and what it meant to be the call of the weak. Helpless, Starling herself is a weakling, and from the screams of the lamb being slaughtered, she may vaguely think of her own fate.

She couldn't accept such a fate, and in the future, she relied on the perseverance and hard work tempered by the years of wind and frost, and relied on her "weapon" - to defeat all opponents in the competition, fight against fate step by step, and gradually get closer to her ideals.

She completed the University of Virginia, earned a double major in psychology and criminology, and then worked as a trainee agent in the FBI's Division of Behavioral Science Research. At this point, it should be said that Starling has succeeded.

Then when Starling is assigned to contact Hannibal, the "ogre" who is locked up in a mental hospital, Hannibal sees her humble background and competitive character at a glance, and thus has a series of follow-up stories.

In general, the character of not giving in, stubborn and competitive is a necessary factor for the whole story to go on, and Gong Li's character is so compatible with the heroine, who else can she find if she doesn't play such a role.

If it weren't for his stubborn and unyielding character, Hannibal wouldn't have been able to hook Starling and get her hooked, and he took the initiative to mention that the Department of Behavioral Sciences had been trying to catch the murderous murderer who had never succeeded, the sexual pervert "Buffalo Bill", who had skinned five human skins.

His mention really whetted Starling's appetite, which led to the thrilling main line of the book: the hunt for "Bison Bill".

Hannibal provided the clue first, but he didn't tell her directly, and what was even more important was that at every critical moment or whenever Starling almost figured out his mind, he stopped talking, he wanted you to tell him your privacy as a condition for continuing to talk, that is, to "repay the favor", and this is how Starling's neighboring childhood story buried deep in his heart was dug up by Hannibal little by little.

He knew that Starling would stay the course on the "Buffalo Bill" case, because from her experience on the Montana ranch, Hannibal had learned very well that there was a voice in Starling's heart that was screaming all the time, and that was the poor lamb to the slaughter.

When they last met, Hannibal asked Starling, "Do you still wake up in the middle of the night, in the iron darkness, and hear the lamb screaming?"

Hannibal then asked, "What if you caught Buffalo Bill yourself...... Do you think you can stop the lamb from screaming?"

Starling said yes.

If the screams of the lambs that Starling heard in the pasture in her childhood were real, then the screams of the lambs she heard from time to time in her heart when she grew up were more symbolic, representing the weak, the victims, and the cry of these people in the midst of helplessness.

The weak and victims in the movie are all young women, which makes Starling seem to be a little more painful.

She imagined their fate, remembered their suffering, and finally it all coalesced into one voice: the lamb was screaming, screaming, screaming! It was a calling, an irresistible impulse, and as long as the sound did not go on, Starling would not be at peace, she would have nightmares, she would wake up in the middle of the night, she would desperately break into a place of sin that even daring men would be afraid of.

Naturally, Starling eventually succeeded, catching and killing "Bison Bill" so she could finally "sleep very deeply and sweetly, because the lamb was already quiet".

The essence of the Silence of the Lambs lies in the confrontation between Hannibal and Starling, the evil Zhuge Liang on one side and the fledgling Liu Bei on the other, and their contrast is very large, penetrating into all aspects of gender, age, personality, and human life, which creates wonderful conditions for them to use each other.

Hannibal needs to rise from the external environment of being a prisoner to the psychological high ground of the controller, and his weapon is to dig up and parse Starling's childhood trauma, and Starling needs to rise from the humble status of an intern to the level of a high-value FBI agent by solving a difficult case, and she uses Hannibal's brain. They are like a pair of inseparable enemies, repelling and attracting each other.

The requirements for the leading actor in this movie are quite strict, and it is not ordinary people who can play such a wonderful role.

And the movie came out to make it because Gong Li and Hannibal are very related to the Silence of the Lambs.

Because in the original time and space, Gong Li starred in Hannibal's series in the seventh year of the 21st century, which can be regarded as a prequel to the young Hannibal.

This movie is about why Hannibal became the ogre king, and what kind of psychological trauma and stimulation he suffered to make him like that.

This movie is basically a film that explains the causes of Hannibal's perverted personality and behavior.

And Gong Li plays a guiding role in it, and the heroine is also such a role as the aunt of the young Hannibal.

Inside, Gong Li is known as Yu himself, whose entire family was killed in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, and whose culture she brings with her fascinates Hannibal. Undoubtedly, the spirit of bushido and the bloodthirsty story told by Lady Purple gave young Hannibal a further psychological identification with violent killing.

At the same time, Gong Li's training of the young Hannibal's swordsmanship also became the reason for Hannibal's agility. Thus the oriental mystery and the cult of killing and righteousness in this culture became another very important reason for Hannibal's perversion.

At this point in the story, Lady Purple could have had a lot of room to play, but unfortunately the screenwriter stopped here, and in the subsequent plot, Lady Purple no longer had any big achievements, that is, she came out to run tricks in between Hannibal's killings, and the so-called important spiritual mentor of Hannibal before was purely reduced to a gimmick.

Throughout the film, Madame Purple's only role is to bring the culture of the book, and the rest of the time is all a vase, making Hannibal "self-taught", I have to say that the screenwriter has a fantastic start, but a very vulgar finish.

Let Gong Li, a great acting god, play such a widow who basically has room to play, it is really blind to such an actor configuration.

Qiao Feng felt that the widow aunt couldn't let Gong Li show her acting skills well, so he let her play the heroine in the Silence of the Lambs, this role can definitely make Gong Li perform heartily, give full play to all her acting skills and show those things in her own personality.
