The Hunger

When I was very helpless and helpless... When I was cold-blooded as I had encountered it, everything looked gray, everything I ate was bitter, and everything I listened to was noisy, I just wanted to shut myself up severely. I was drunk, hugged my knees and cried tired, and fell asleep, not wanting to see the sun tomorrow. At this time, an animal that would only doze off unscrupulously during Mass, would learn from a devout believer, saying "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; The courage to change the things I can; And the wisdom to know the difference." I don’t even know where this sentence comes from, and I’m not sure if I should add "Amen" after the sentence, but this is the most practical way of asking God I’ve heard in my life. The most useful requirement, like driftwood on the sea, allows those who are gradually sinking to see a glimmer of hope, and change from giving up to fighting again-although the limbs carry the pain after the death, at least in the next life Enjoy a peaceful sleeping environment-with such hope to survive the wind and waves. At this time, I would rather God really exist, even if I was thrown into the fire of hell at the end of the judgment to punish my unbelief-if he could really give peace when I thought about it, Courage and insight.

So I don’t think this is a topic of salvation. As the beginning of the film said "The hunger has returned to Mr.Brooks' brain. It never really left." Mr.Brooks just struggled in the waves.

When I had a sleep meeting in college, girls were not yet old enough to develop their dreams—girls might never get rid of the mood of this age—and they would discuss what would happen to a murderer if they fell in love with a criminal? "Murders are also loved by someone!" Someone cited an unknown variety show host who said. A group of science and engineering girls shook their heads. Some of them firmly believe that love is no match for their own principles and sense of justice. Others believe that their lover loves their soul. If they find a stain on the soul, they can no longer continue to be his mate. , That is a depreciation of oneself. "Maybe let him go", our conclusion is, but it is absolutely impossible to love.

After I finished speaking, I thought of my first love, an old man I was obsessed with, he thumped my young heart for the first time, and planted the roots of my uncle in the future. His name is Hannibal Lector, and he is by far the most famous and charming serial killer in movie history, the maniac. I secretly introspected whether my principles were too weak and my sense of justice was too little, or my spouse was not picky about his soul, but just took a fancy to the old man's ice-blue eyes. That night, I hadn’t learned to pray to God for anything, so I had to stare at the ceiling for a long time, wondering what was wrong with my mind, and I would hate the ending of Hannibal’s letting him take his own hands. On the contrary, I hope this murderous guy can enjoy a peaceful life freely with the MM he desires like in the novel.

This question finally became clear when I met Mr. Brooks.

Like—it should be said, obsessed with—Kevin Costner, not when he danced with wolves. Born to have a weird taste, I met a language teacher with the same strong taste in high school. In the film appreciation class, I put a film "The Postman" which was awarded the Golden Raspberry Award of the year. I was fascinated by this dusty man at once, and his degeneration speed was no less than seeing the blond hair flying in "Legend of Autumn". The latter is pure hormonal cause, but the former has been unable to tell the reason. He is not necessarily so handsome and earth-shattering, nor does he like to play with it. Just standing there and watching, my teeth are white, my eyes are blue, my brain is exuding the danger of premature baldness, and occasionally frowning, my heart beats. There is an aura around him. Tough? lonely? Perseverance? With forbearance? I can't describe it. Only one thing is certain, that is, his taste for movies is more peculiar than mine, so he also fell very quickly, several films failed, and suddenly seemed to disappear in Hollywood.

Kevin Costner + Demi Moore, once a brother and sister, but should not mean "veterans play, one can do the best", but looks a very bleak combination. Based on my enthusiasm for movies that I would rather kill by mistake, and my obstinate nature for the objects of love, I just returned to Paris, before I had time to watch the film introduction, I ran to the cinema when I saw the cast.

I like the look of Costner's full clothes, so I feel uncomfortable with the look of his full dress and black-rimmed glasses at the beginning of the film. I am afraid that he will play a warm father or a vulgar role like a middle-aged man who is cheating. I love someone at first sight. Fortunately, Corvo immediately revealed his true colors. It turned out that he was a serial killer with a dual personality. His second personality, always wearing a full black Marshall is very interesting. If Earl Brooks is a representative of outstanding human beings-a good husband with due diligence, a good father with love, a successful and wealthy corporate man; then Marshall is a viper sent by the devil to lure outstanding humans-careful thinking and enjoyment Life, without concealing his own desires. At critical moments, demons will always defeat humans, because Earl is Mr. Brooks's self, and Marshall is his self.

Earl hopes to stop killing and get rid of Marshall through the addiction treatment, but he has never said something like "guilty of conscience". What worries him most is that if his identity is discovered, it will be for his wife and daughter. What an embarrassing scene will be. So this is just a self-effort to restrain the desire of the self and belong to the superego stage. Like every good citizen of us, we want to be bound to the social morality and civilization, in order to exchange excitement and passion for calm but normal. Life. His only victory over Marshall was to save his daughter. I was selfish and told him that for his own safety and peace in the future, his daughter should be sent to jail, Mr. Smith was killed, and he would continue his own free, dark and happy life. However, Earl said, "She is my daughter, I love her", breaking Marshall's block. This is part of the ego's sublimation of the id, and it is the profound influence of human relationships on human nature. Therefore, in literary film and television works, we always like to regard "love" as a golden arrow to save the world. Therefore, when Earl heard Jane say "I naturally love you, you are my father", he was also slightly relieved about his daughter's body beating and eager to kill the gene (he said to Marshall, "She hasn't gone so far." ", which means she shouldn't have lost herself completely).

In other words, Earl is the self that each of us uses to negotiate with this society-to have a beautiful family, a successful career, and an innocent reputation, and all this is just to satisfy Marshall, which is our long-term desire of the self- -Like food, love sex, and murder. That's why we like Hannibal and Mr. Brooks. It's like seeing our own ego finally get rid of the control of the superego, and succumb to the id and live out its original appearance. Feel the excitement from the killing like our ancestors, and drink the pleasure from the blood. Putting on the mask of civilization, there is still savage blood in the body, rushing to find an exit. Hypocritical people will look away and say that "killers should go to hell", while honest people will admit that "they are the spokesperson of our dark side"-they are not pure cold-blooded animals, and their desires may be surrendered For emotions, such as Hannibal vs. Starling and Mr. Brooks vs. Jane, they will never be silent by social standards, because they have a better mind and superior means. So people who really know Mr. Brooks will never believe that he will really put his life in Mr. Smith's hands.

Mr. Smith is a still shaken "I", like most criminals, tired of the ordinary life, longing for freshness and excitement. But at the same time there is not enough intelligence and courage. He betrayed Mr. Brooks to the police and made a stupid mistake at the crime scene. Such a person has neither the determination to control the id nor the ability to break through the superego. Such a person always ends up always Victim.

The film has created some very weird relationships. In addition to Earl father and daughter, Earl and Marshall, Mr. Brooks and Mr. Smith is another main line of the film-Tracy Atwoods and Earl Brooks.

First of all, the surnames of the two are very interesting. Atwoods means "in the forest", while Brook can be interpreted as a "little stream". Do foreigners also pay attention to the benevolent to choose mountains, and the wise to love water?

Secondly, as the heroes and heroines of the film, the two have never met. Even as a criminal and a detective as a chaser, the two of them still spend most of their lives in their lives. Earl is busy messing with Mr. Smith and rescuing his daughter, while Tracy is struggling with ex-husband’s extortion and extortion. The enemy's chase. But after only a little understanding, Earl fell in love with Tracy. This was not because of the admiration between men and women. It was somewhat similar to Hannibal’s initial affection for Starling, like smelling the smell of the same kind far away in heaven from hell. The distant one can even be said to stand at the poles, but in the bones it is the same.

Earl lamented that he liked Tracy, because although she had a rich father, she got rid of his influence, chose her own life, and had her own career, which is exactly what he expected of Jane. And Jane just let him down. She failed to get rid of his influence, just as he had feared earlier, she inherited his genes and became addicted to murder.

If Earl's ego is resisting, Jane's ego has been lost, and Mr. Smith's ego is struggling, then Tracy, like Starling, has a superhumanly determined ego. She hates her ex-husband, but she has no desire to kill him. She has a rich father, but she does not rely on his ideas. She resisted the influence exerted on her by the outside world, and even refused the help of others, trying to control the situation with her own power. Mr. Brooks, like Dr. Lector, helped our heroine a little gang-he killed her ex-husband, led her to find her enemy, and solved the interference in her life, just for an answer- Marshall often asks Earl "Why do you have to struggle? You can't fight the temptation after all", then why, why can she get rid of it.

-Why do you want to escape from the farm?

-Because the lamb is screaming. You promised to tell me where Bill the Bison is.

Dr. Lector smiled, and he kept his promise to help the young FBI agent rescue her lamb. The author said that because Starling is the only few people Lector has seen who have not fallen.

-Why do you want to be a policeman?

-My father regrets that I am not a boy. I spent my whole life trying to prove that my father was wrong. You promised to tell me where you are.

Mr. Brooks smiled. He said "I'm on a tall building", and then dropped the red phone from the roof.

The film didn't stop on Earl's nightmare, because death was a relief for him, a cessation of struggle, and an interruption of problems. And he can’t stop struggling, human beings can’t get rid of, can’t stop struggling, can’t stop asking, he can only ask God over and over again, please give me peace to accept what I can’t change, give me the courage to change what I can do, and give me insight. To distinguish the difference.

Costner prefers bizarre stories and weird scripts. This time, even in the eyes of the public, he should have made no mistake. The two lines of the movie are parallel, but there is no chaos. The strange feelings are repeated but they are reasonable. Within the logic, there is a humor in the lines from time to time. Costner and Moore, two faces that have never been very expressive, each perform their duties. Relatively speaking, because Officer Tracy Atwoods has a hard personality and courage to be independent, Demi Moore's task is a bit simpler, that is, to be the self who was on the screen twenty years ago. But Earl Brooks shuttles back and forth between Mr. Good Standard and the perverted murderer. It is rare that Costner is not at all out of touch between the tender family and the intense murder.
