Hannibal is an elegant cannibal, which has been fully demonstrated in "The Silent Lambs". For such a unique screen image, his history will definitely be quite exciting. Of course, this is a Hollywood playwright. Based on this imagination, "Young Hannibal" was born. Obviously, there is only one problem that this film wants to solve most, and that is why Hannibal wants to eat people?
The film gave an extremely intuitive reason, because Hannibal's sister was eaten by bad guys, so it was obvious that a story of revenge came into being.
The younger sister was eaten, which is definitely the greatest mental stimulation for a child, so Hannibal became a silent and vicious person, usually not talking, only screaming in his sleep, the younger sister was killed The scene became his eternal nightmare. It must be emphasized here that the unconventional killings and the sadness of losing his sister are by no means the whole of this nightmare. More importantly, Hannibal did not protect his sister. As a result, the cruel killing and cannibalism were immediately expanded infinitely in Hannibal's self-blame. At this time, we can probably see a combination of content and form. The content is a kind of sympathy, responsibility and guilt for the younger sister (later expanded to be a woman), and the form is of course a means of killing, which then turns into a hobby of cannibalism. At this point in the development of the film, in fact, the reasons for the character of Hannibal have already emerged. In other words, the cause is already available. Here is how to develop this hidden inducement into a habit and become a kind of habit. The ritual is a personal label, that is, to deepen that Ni Duan.
Escaped from the orphanage, Hannibal found his aunt, the only relative in the family. Under the guidance of his aunt, Hannibal came into contact with an Eastern culture. It needs to be emphasized here that the actor of the aunt is Gong Li as we know it, leaving the vase role in "Miami Storm". Gong Li plays the role of Mrs. Purple in this film. This role can definitely affect Hannibal's growth trajectory. So strictly speaking, this role is certainly not a vase. But to be honest, Gong Li’s performance in this film was too modest. Although she basically completed the tasks assigned by the director and the characters, she did not shine too much. With her body that is still worthy of pride. To a large extent, the color of the object of desire continues. Fortunately, the story is much better than "Miami Storm." Therefore, the object of desire is not only a display of sex, but also a display of women, especially for Hannibal.
Hannibal came into contact with the East’s ambiguous attitude towards corpses. In fact, it’s not about Japan. In the ancient East, the hobby for corpse heads abounds. Killing opponents, cutting the first level, and hanging on the top of the horse. Demonstration to frighten the enemy. This is an Eastern tradition, and Japan is just more formal.
The film introduces this concept to sublimate Hannibal's pure fear of cannibalism. Cannibalism is also a kind of ritual in ancient times. Just as the criminal in the film said, in order to survive, but if the meaning of survival needs to be further extended, it is a kind of blessing and sacrifice, which is extremely symbolic. So the film has developed to this point. Hannibal’s reason for cannibalism is not just a hobby, a childhood imitation, but a ritual, an irony of corpses to death, and a kind of survival. Worship and inheritance.
At the same time, Hannibal's guilt for his sister extended to a desire to protect women, so he killed the butcher section, not so much to avenge Mrs. Purple, Mo Ruo said that he completed his own direction. A kind of affirmation, as mentioned above, the content and form have reached a certain combination.
Due to a fascination with the human body and a spiritual mystery, Hannibal became a medical student. This experience is also to supplement the reason for the formation of the character of Hannibal, and the sense of form of murder and cannibalism will be further enhanced. The evidence.
But it is a pity that although the film attempts to use Eastern hints to enhance Hannibal’s mental fascination with corpses and cannibalism, in fact, it’s just an oriental sword and a statue is far from enough. Yes, the lack of role made the audience not have enough impression of Hannibal’s spiritual leap. Similarly, this lack of role made Gong Li’s role unsuccessful, because as a guide of the Eastern spirit, she just did it. A simple introduction without completing an in-depth sense of cultural introduction. For this film, this lack of a more serious cause of the sense of form is greater than the spiritual content, so the following content brings the audience into the plot of the ordinary murderer, the elegant and intelligent criminal does not No manifestation.
Actually, I don’t think that Hannibal in this film must show a kind of grace. After all, because he is still a teenager, although he has a certain degree of knowledge, his understanding of hatred is only a kind of revenge. In-depth artistic level. Therefore, although the content below the film makes many viewers a little unhappy, or a little disappointed, as far as the film is concerned, it is definitely a matter of reason.
As a prequel, although the Murderer's March can be performed thrillingly, it actually deviates from the most fundamental problem that the prequel needs to solve, that is, the formation of the character of Hannibal. From this point of view, the character of Hannibal has not been fully explained clearly, especially the spiritual carrying power of cannibalism, which has not been fully explained. Therefore, if there is a sequel to the previous biography, it may be better. Continue to complete Hannibal's spiritual leap.
At the end of the film, Hannibal knew that he had eaten his sister. In this case, he rejected Mrs. Purple's suggestion, and went on to kill even more frantically. In the author’s opinion, this beak is extremely terrifying, because all Hannibal’s motives for revenge will be deteriorated because he has eaten his sister. As the play says, his revenge is a kind of self-denial. Kill all insiders. This is obviously contrary to the previous revenge essence. As a result, Hannibal's murder became a kind of self-salvation, but the redemption itself was achieved by punishing others. Hannibal became a murderous demon because of this beak. From this point of view, the director's definition of Hannibal is like this.
Use the sins of others to complete self-salvation, but this redemption can never be stopped due to the punishment of sins. This is a metaphor, indicating that Hannibal will continue to sin, so he left Mrs. Purple, although The relationship is indeed ambiguous, but Hannibal has completely swept away the evil itself, so he can be unscrupulous. But in fact this kind of unscrupulousness may not be very obvious!
At the end of the film, Hannibal came to a small town in Canada. The last enemy was killed because of this, but the question is from then on? Hannibal will have nothing to do. The film over-extends Hannibal’s revenge and strengthens the sense of form, thus ignoring Hannibal’s spiritual cause, so grace is not there, so after the revenge, this character will disappear, and an extremely embarrassing ending will not lead to "The Silence". "The Lamb" piece, as a history, this must be a failure.
By the way, in the scene on the ship, it is worth boasting that Gong Li's murderous action is clean and explosive. This is Gong Li's advantage, an outbreak of calm, so Mrs. Purple and Hannibal practiced in front of the film. The sword and the two sections of riding a motorcycle to send the head are all nondescript. It's better to let Gong Li calm down in the previous scene. With the emergence of this kind of situation, I can only think that the director's use of Gong Li is obviously still inadequate.
