What are the small details on movie posters that are amazing but hard to notice?

Everyone knows that the poster is the second face of the movie, but Sir bets that this face is the most familiar stranger. "The Silence of the Lambs"

At first glance, the poster shows the face of the heroine Jodie Foster, with her mouth sealed by a moth.

Look carefully, this moth has a skull pattern on its head.

At this level, many people should be able to see it at a glance.

However, good things are never simple - are they really just ordinary skulls?

Let's zoom in.

Did you see it? The skeleton is actually composed of seven naked women. This image comes from the photography of Spanish Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí, taken in 1951.

The name of the photo is "In Voluptas Mors" - meaning "The Silence of the Lambs".

This is Dali, the original photograph is too big, you can search it online yourself

Why is the poster designed like this?

In the movie, the male killer Bill longs to change his gender, so he always puts a chrysalis (butterfly) on the victim, or arranges the corpse in the shape of a butterfly——

The chrysalis will eventually emerge from its cocoon and become a butterfly, and Bill hopes he can too.

So, the moth on the poster symbolizes the transsexual Bill's desire to transform into a woman.

The heroine's mouth is sealed, which means that she cannot freely say what is in her heart.

The naked women represent those women who were innocently killed in serial murder cases. (Sir’s guess, please argue if you don’t agree)

You see, there are so many details hidden behind a poster, Sir will ask you if you think about it carefully.
