Behind every devil, there is another devil standing

The lineup of "Red Dragon" is dazzling. In addition to the old man Hopkins, there is also handsome Edward Norton. The most amazing is Ralph Fiennes. The hare lips appear in the film, which will be a perverted murderer. Rumu Sanfen, even a blind little girl, is also played by Emily in "Crazy Love on Cello".
Many people will admire the first one, but I prefer the latter two, especially "Red Dragon". From the understanding of ordinary people, the chance of encountering abnormalities in a person's life is very small. In fact, it is not. It is just that the chance of encountering abnormalities with high IQ is relatively small.
Du is undoubtedly a perverted killer, and can even be called a demon. It is only because of his religion that Rao Shizi wants two happy families to bleed, but a sentence in "Desperate Housewives" can also give him such behavior. Add a footnote: Behind any devil, there is another devil. Du has lived in the gloomy and gloomy castle of his grandmother since he was a child. A seemingly perfect lady, but in reality there is no warmth. The film does not explain Du's parents, but there is no doubt that Du and his grandmother live in At the same time, when I was a child, there was no choice but my grandmother by my side. Maybe it was because there was no parents, Du was somewhat self-conscious in his childhood. The film can’t explore too far. We don’t know what kind of family the grandmother used to live in, and why she hated her natural masculine traits like that, and even threatened Du more than once to castrate him because she thought this Things are unclean and will stain her things, such as bed sheets. The scar on Du's face (not sure that it was caused by his grandmother, but I think it should be caused by her hurt), deepened his low self-esteem. It is inferred from recalling the changes in the voice in Du's mind that the cold and violent hurt behavior of his grandmother will continue until Du becomes an adult man.
It is conceivable that such a strong man would only be shackled in front of an old woman. He is no longer a child. It is not that he cannot resist an old man who is almost disabled. It is just that he has been hypnotized by her for a long time. In front of her, he naturally has a sense of incompetence of being castrated. But any depression always has a critical point. Although she left this world one day, her large portrait is still hung in her room. She is still watching everything with a condescending sternness. In his heart, only her own rebirth can get rid of this life. shame.
And this rebirth is what made him a devil. If it were not for the blind girl later, Du thought it should be-since no one loves him and respects him, then he can also disrespect others. After meeting the blind girl, the humanity in his heart is resurrecting. In fact, he instinctively knows that killing is not a lucky thing. The woman who is killed cannot crawl under his feet and enjoy the rebirth with him. If Du Zhen completely converted to his so-called religion, then he would reasonably think that it would be a good thing to let Reba die, but he did not do so, and even in the end he still couldn’t shoot. Liba died, and chose to keep her in the fire. Therefore, Du is not the kind of true religious madman. He did not kill the two female administrators in the museum. It also shows that religion—becoming a red dragon, transformed and reborn, is just a way for him to vent his depression and pain. If he hadn't met another demon who killed people invisible, or he had met such a pure and kind blind girl earlier, maybe Du would not be this demon anymore.
Every devil who has been tamed by the devil once expressed the desire to be a good person, but it always seems to be counterproductive. For example, the boy who killed many people in "Desperate Housewives", with a little respect and kindness, let him Cheering and cheering made him want to give everything back to others. Only when people show disdain and contempt, his devil's face will show up.
They who have become the devil have a switch, and that switch is like Du said, without a little awe. Because tragedies caused by lack of respect for others are everywhere in this world, "Red Dragon" still has a lot of practical significance. Unfortunately, Professor Hannibal's brilliance in this episode has dimmed a lot.

    As a series, I watch "The Silence of the Lambs" a bit more, and I almost never watched the other films in the DVD era. If I catch up with live TV, I'll take time to watch it. Anyway, I'm watching movies. Moreover, there are many big stars and old actors in the movie who are watching now, so I can't say that such a movie is not worth watching, it can only be said that it is not a movie that I pay attention to.

Red Dragon quotes

  • Hannibal Lecter: [in the final letter to Will] My dear Will, you must be healed by now... on the outside at least, I hope you're not too ugly. What a collection of scars you have. Never forget who gave you the best of them, and be grateful, our scars have the power to remind us that the past was real. We live in a primitive time, don't we, Will? Neither savage nor wise. Half measures are the curse of it, any rational society will either kill me or put me to some use. Do you dream much, Will? I think of you often. Your old friend, Hannibal Lector.

  • Hannibal Lecter: I'll call you if I think of anything else, would you perhaps like to leave me your home phone number?
