The Classics of American Social Issues Films

A breathless psychoanalytic film.

One of the most exciting horror movies in Hollywood.

The film tells the story of clarice stahly (Jodie Foster). She is a trainee agent who has just been sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and has accepted a task: to catch a murderous pervert. In order to understand the criminal's special psychology, she has to visit a psychopath in prison, but Dr. hannibal lecter (Anthony Hopkins) has a hobby of killing people. After Steli's sincere consultation, the doctor finally provided her with clues. Steli found the criminal "Wild Bull Bill" and killed him. The film truly reflects the problem of abnormal crime in American society, and therefore won five awards in the 64th Oscar of 1992, such as best film, best director and best actor and actress.

The heroine is clarice, an intern agent of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation. Starling was born in poverty, and her father was a township policeman. On a night patrol, she met two thieves and drug addicts and died. My mother worked as a maid in a motel during the day and a cook in a cafe at night, struggling to maintain the life of the family. Two years later, Starling was sent to her mother's cousin's house in Montana for foster care, while her brother and sister stayed with her. Starling is only ten years old. My mother's cousin and her husband are ranchers. Sheep and horses are mainly kept in pastures, but most of these animals have some problems, either lame or blind. They are slaughtered and made into glue or fertilizer, and what is taken away alive will become food for dogs. After Stalin discovered all this, a childlike innocence was strongly aroused. She wants to save these poor animals, but what can a little girl who is only ten years old do? She decided to escape from the pasture, thinking that she could take at least one animal-when she arrived at the pasture, she became her good partner's mare "Hannah" with eye diseases. One night, Starling woke up from the darkness and she heard a scream. Lambs in spring. They are being slaughtered in the barn. Starling finally made up her mind to escape, or her "Hannah" would die. In this way, she left the ranch and went to the Lutheran House, which is actually a charity similar to an orphanage.

This plot does not occupy much space in the book, but it is a big worry for Stalin, leaving a deep scar on her young mind, directly or indirectly affecting her future life path and ideal choice. The only way out for poor families, the death of their father and the wandering childhood of orphans is to study, compete in reading, win the competition, get ahead, and win glory for their parents and the Stalin family. Seven months' foster life in Montana ranch made Starling understand what sacrifice is and what is the call sign of the weak. The helpless Starling is a weak person herself. From the screams when the lamb was slaughtered, she was vaguely connected with her own destiny. She can't accept such a fate. She ran away. In the days to come, she relied on the perseverance and efforts honed by the years, and relied on her own "weapon"-to defeat all her opponents in the competition, to fight against fate step by step, and to get closer to her ideal step by step. She finished the University of Virginia, got a double degree certificate in psychology and criminology, and then entered the Behavioral Science Research Department of the Federal Bureau of Investigation as an intern agent. At this point, it should be said that Stalin was successful. In the history of Stalin's family, no member has ever come this far. Only one of her uncles carved his college degree on his tombstone as a symbol of honor. However, Starling doesn't seem to be satisfied, although her internship in the behavioral science research department is very good. So, when Jack Crawford, the head of research department, summoned her and instructed her to contact Dr. Leda, the "king of ogres" who was locked up in a mental hospital, Starling felt that the opportunity had come. The so-called "behavioral science research department" is just a euphemism. In fact, it refers to the FBI department that specializes in a series of murders. It faces some hellish crimes and cruelty, so it goes without saying that neither young female interns nor experienced veterans are very interested in it. In fact, Will, the former tiger general of Crawford, was cut by Leda with a linoleum cutter, and his face was painted by Picasso. He tore up a nurse in a mental hospital. In the past, an investigator who tried to contact him didn't even save his liver, so he let Leda eat it with beans. However, all this does not prevent Starling from resolutely accepting the task given by Crawford. Crawford asked her if she was "easily frightened". She wisely replied, "Not yet." If she only answers "no", it is obviously too hypocritical and heroic to be believed; If you give a positive answer, the opportunity you get is lost. Starling then asked Crawford why she was chosen for this job. Crawford replied, "Mainly because you are the one you can find at hand." Very simple and clear. Crawford didn't have much hope at first. He only found starling because his people couldn't send anyone else. "It's the same old story-there are not enough hands." But when myna heard this, she knew in her heart: this is an opportunity and a challenge. She should make good use of this opportunity, accept this challenge and accomplish the task assigned by Crawford brilliantly.

It wouldn't be surprising if things went down, because Crawford sent Starling to contact Lecter, mainly to get some help from this extraordinary psychiatrist, hoping that his answer would help the research of behavioral science. Starling can use her unique charm to make Wright speak after years of silence, and then hand in the papers smoothly. Lecter did, but he didn't want to receive psychological counseling on the questionnaire. He just shrugged his shoulders. What he is most interested in is savoring the pain of others with relish and grabbing their privacy in detail. He likes to show off, showing off his knowledge and shrewdness. He thinks he has extraordinary insight and can see through everything. He thinks he is first-class at least in his field. So when Stalin first appeared in front of him, he saw her humble background and competitive personality at a glance. He began to play with interns like cats and mice. He started to keep myna's appetite, and took the initiative to mention the murderer that the Department of Behavioral Science always wanted to catch but never caught, and the abnormal "Wild Bull Bill" who skinned five people. His mention really aroused Starling's appetite and led to the thrilling main line of this book: the pursuit of "Wild Bull Bill".

Lecter provided the clue first, but he didn't tell you directly; What's more, at every critical moment or when you almost know your mind, he stops talking. He wants you to tell him your privacy as a condition for continuing the conversation, that is, to return the favor. Starling's childhood story buried deep in her heart was excavated by Leda bit by bit. He knew that in the case of "Bill the Bull", myna would stick to the end, because Leda had learned very clearly from her experience in Montana ranch that there was always a voice screaming in myna's heart, and that was the poor lamb that was slaughtered. When they met for the last time, Lecter asked Starling, "Will you wake up in the middle of the night and hear the lambs screaming in the iron darkness?" Starling did not deny it. Wright then asked, "If you catch Bill the wild bull yourself ... do you think you can stop the lamb from screaming?" Starling agreed. If it is true that Stalin heard the cries of lambs in the pasture when he was a child, then the cries of lambs that she heard from time to time in her heart when she grew up are more symbolic. They represent the weak and the victims, symbolizing the cry of these people in helplessness. In this book, these weak people and victims are young women, which makes Stalin seem to have a little more pain. She imagined their situation before they died and recalled their tragic situation after they were victimized. In the end, everything was condensed into one voice: the lamb was screaming, screaming, screaming! This is a call, an irresistible force. As long as this sound lasts for more than a day, myna will not be at peace. She will have nightmares, wake up in the middle of the night, and will be desperate to break into a sinful place that makes bold men cringe. Naturally, Stalin finally succeeded. She caught and killed Bill the Wild Bull, so she could finally "sleep soundly because the lamb was quiet". The Silence of the Lambs is also a book written by Thomas Harris.

Abstract: catherine martin refused to get on the stretcher, wrapped in police uniform and walked to the ambulance. The dog got out of the lapel of the police uniform.

A photo on the side shows Starling walking towards a car with her head down and her hands in her pockets.

After editing, some horrible contents in the film were deleted. Far away in the basement, the camera can only take a few low thresholds sprinkled with lime in the secret room and show them to the audience; In the secret room, there is a set of Gam models made of living people. So far, six bodies have been found in that place in the basement.

Crawford heard Starling breathe heavily out of her nose twice. The news was temporarily interrupted and advertisements were inserted.

"Good morning, Starling."

"Hello." She said, it seems not early in the morning.

"The U.S. attorney general faxed your testimony to me in the evening. You have to sign some materials for him. ..... So you came out from frederica Baimel's home to find Stacy Haboka, and then you went to Richard's fashion shop to find that woman named Paulding, where Baimel sewed their clothes. Mrs. Paulding gave you Mrs. Lippmann's old address, which is the building over there. "

Starling nodded. "Stacy Hu Belka has been to that place several times to meet Frederica, but it was Stacy's boyfriend who was driving, and she was confused. Mrs. Birding still has that address. "

"Mrs. Paulding never mentioned that there was another man in Mrs. Lipman's shop?"

"No."

News films from the Naval Hospital of Bitu University began to be broadcast on TV. Senator Ruth Martin's face appeared in the window frame of a car.

"Catherine was awake last night, yes. She is sleeping. She just took a sedative. We are counting our good luck. No, as I said before, she was frightened, but she was still conscious, just a little injured, with a broken finger and dehydration. Thank you. " She stabbed the driver in the back. "Thank you. No, she told me about dogs last night. I don't know what to do with it yet. We already have two dogs. "

At the end of the report, an expert engaged in neuroticism research was quoted as empty talk. Experts will talk to catherine martin later that day to assess his emotional injury.

Crawford turned off the TV.

"How do you feel, Starling?"

"I'm a little numb ... are you too?"

Crawford nodded, then quickly continued, "Senator Martin has been on the phone all night. She will come to see you, and Catherine will come to see you when she walks. "

"I am at home."

"There will be Crende, he also want to come here. He asked for his memo back. "

"Come to think of it, I'm not always at home."

"To be honest, let me give you some advice: use Senator Martin. Let her tell you how grateful she is and let her give you chips. Don't delay. Gratitude won't last long. In this way, you may need her one day recently. "

"This is Adley's words."

"Your roommate Max? The inspector told me that you will make up the exam on Monday, and Max will help you review and give you a hard time. She is only 1.5 points higher than her main competitor Sterling Ferro, and she told me. "

"Are you going to be a farewell speaker?"

"But he's also fine, Sterling Fellow-he threatened that she couldn't stop him."

"Then he'd better take his lunch."

Crawford's messy desk has a chicken folded by Dr. Wright. Crawford pulled his tail up and down, and the chicken pecked.

"Lecter is as famous as a platinum record award-he is everyone's most wanted man." He said, "In that case, he may still be at large for some time. After work, you must pay attention to maintaining some good habits. "

She nodded her head.

"He is not free now," Crawford said, "but when he is free, he will have some fun for himself. We should be clear about this: you know he will do this to you, just as he will do it to anyone else. "

"I don't think he will attack me secretly-that's rude. He didn't want to ask questions in such a rude way from the beginning. Of course, as long as I bore him, he will still do so. "

"In short, I still want to say that you should keep good habits. Write it on the registration card when you get off work-don't call anyone to ask for whereabouts without a reliable ID card. If you don't mind, I want to install a tracking alarm on your mobile phone. As long as you don't press that button, the phone is still private. "

"I don't think he will come to me, Mr Crawford."

"But you heard everything I said?"

"Yes, I did." (Chapter 58)

The Silence of the Lambs

English: The Silent Lamb

Produced by Orion Film Company of the United States.

Year: 199 1

Introduction: clarice starling, a trainee agent assigned to the FBI, has just finished his training. He looks pale, weak and beautiful, and has a pure and lovely personality like a lamb. She treats people kindly, no matter to her boss, colleagues or even prisoners. But in fact, she is well-trained, capable, provocative and admirable. The favored clarice accepted the task given by his boss Jack Crawford: to catch a murderous pervert. The criminal nicknamed "Bill Bull" raped and killed a series of young women, and cut them into pieces and skinned them.

This case is difficult to solve. In view of the killer's peculiar and sophisticated means of committing crimes, in order to understand the killer's special psychology as soon as possible, so as to wait for an opportunity to arrest him, clarice had to go to prison to visit a once famous psychopath, Dr. Hannibal Lecktor, who had a hobby of killing people. From the outside, Hannibal is no different from ordinary people. He is calm, but his temperament reveals his knowledge and resourcefulness. Simple clarice is no match for him. During the conversation, Hannibal asked clarice to tell his personal experience in exchange for the information he needed. Kind clarice disobeyed the repeated warnings of his boss and exchanged his privacy for Hannibal's information. He gave clarice some clues, and clarice began to follow them. At this time, a senator's daughter was kidnapped. Hannibal finally told clarice that the murderer was in close contact with a tailor. Clarice found the tailor and found him dead. After careful analysis and investigation, clarice finally found "Bull Bill" in a dark basement and killed it in the dark. The senator's daughter was rescued.

Clarice received a phone call at the celebration. It was Hannibal.

At the end of the film, the "cannibal" disappears into the vast sea of people, and the story is not over. ...

Film Critics If Thomas Harris is not going to write a story about the murderer Hannibal, there will be another so-called "heir". Presumably, The Rise of Hannibal should be regarded as the ending of this wonderful film series. Like the first three films, The Rise of Hannibal was written as a novel by Thomas Harris and then adapted into a script by himself. In the The Silence of the Lambs of that year, when Dr. Hannibal handled the "perfect" human body in his heart, the scientific calmness and crazy elegance opened the eyes of the world; In the subsequent Hannibal, although there were signs of senile, his superb skills of opening human brain holes still fascinated the policewoman; In Red Dragon, people once again appreciate him who has made achievements in both serial killer and criminal psychology. Although the achievements and word-of-mouth of the two sequels are far from the height of the first one, as long as the story of Hannibal, the most attractive pervert killer in history, has not been finished, Hollywood will not miss any opportunity to extract its commercial value. Harris, an "old hand", wrote the script himself, and then was directed by Peter Webber, who is internationally renowned for The Girl with Pearl Earrings. The latter's mature control of the film language makes this film quite promising. I believe that this new chapter in Hannibal will once again arouse people's cry for "man-eating doctors" ...

Wonderful tidbits

The story told in this film happened more than half a century ago. Against the background of World War II, which turned the whole world upside down, through such cruel historical facts, it is more appropriate to create a handsome Hannibal who rose from a happy family to a crazy blood sucking level. What happened in the last century, as a classic of Anthony Hopkins's The Image of Hannibal, has been deeply rooted in people's hearts and even become a nightmare for some people. But now, it is impossible for Hollywood to restore Hopkins' old face to his youth. So, this time, gaspard uriel, who plays the spoony deserter husband in The Long Engagement, has a chance to play the young ogre who enters the killing world. Yuri's pure appearance fascinated many female fans. Moreover, the young Frenchman seems to be very good at trying to figure out the psychological state of the role, and in the process of performance, he soon collided with the director in communication. Therefore, he quickly integrated into Hannibal's abnormal spiritual world. Time shows the naivety, ruthlessness and murderousness of teenagers, and Zhang Chi shows Hannibal Rising's gradually distorted spiritual growth process after being poisoned by war. Through the appearance of this film, gaspard uriel's acting skills have also improved a lot, which is a win-win situation.

Legend has it that China actress Gong Li, because of her ignorance, missed an excellent opportunity to cooperate with two Hollywood film emperors (co-starring with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in The Wire of Theft). Ten years later, she made her mark in the world film industry and rose again in the last two years. Last year, Memoirs of a Geisha, a story about japanese geisha, quickly became popular in cinemas around the world. And it has been greatly recognized by the powerful Hollywood film industry. After that, foreign film contracts followed. In Miami Vice, which was released in the summer of 2006, Gong Li did not fundamentally escape Hollywood's consistent film rule of "women's inferiority". However, with the "tough" performance in the film, it was well received. Now, Gong Li once again appeared in the mainstream Hollywood movies, and played Lady Purple in The Rise of Hannibal. It was also affirmed by the director and peers who performed on the same stage. It is said that this character is a descendant of Murasaki shikibu, the author of Tale of Genji (perhaps Harris wanted to show off the cultural background in popular novels). This man is the last ray of sunshine in Hannibal's story. She taught him fencing and guided him to appreciate art, but she still couldn't stop him from going crazy.
