The 1992 Academy Awards for Best Director (Jonathan Demme), Film, Lead (Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter), Lead (Judie Foster as Clarice Starling), Screenplay (Ted Tally) -- all five of which included "It Happened One Night" ” and “Flying Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, the magic is that it is also a special blockbuster (140 million global box office, cost only 16 million), and it is so popular that it is a well-deserved phenomenon-level movie. A thriller does not seem to reveal human nature or social reality in a profound way, but it wins the box office award in one hand, and it was released at the beginning of the year under extremely unfavorable conditions. Such success comes from its own origin. Thomas Harris' best-selling book is rooted in a lot of homework done in the behavioral science group (Bill Buffalo is a puzzle of three serial killers), Ted Tally is a Yale drama student with a decade of previous screenwriting experience, and Judie Foster has been adapting since the beginning of the adaptation. Just taking the initiative, Anthony Hopkins, an Englishman, experienced several box office hits and became frustrated with Hollywood and returned to the London Theater. The main creator is to grind the book solidly, and then select actors round by round, not for fame but for appropriateness. For example, Kasi Lemmons, who has little acting experience, is interested in playing the kidnapped girl Catherine, in order to capture the truth of ordinary people. Desperate, the latter in order to match the "14 yards" Also gained 20 pounds. The actors are also very willing to prepare: Hopkins' method is to read the script over and over again. He believes that everything about the character is in the lines. After 250 times, the doctor will get on it; Buffalo Bill is another way. The killer's file was opened and smashed and read over and over again. It is said that the audition was so amazing that Kasi wanted to quit the circle. The prop photography and editing were all done with care: the chrysalis of Bill’s family froze to death as soon as the shooting location was too cold. To be honest, a good film is not a coincidence or a coincidence, it is like a crop, if you take good care of it, you will have a good harvest. Where the time is spent, whether it is in the mind or not, it is clear at a glance in the movie. It's hard to do bad things if you continue to do this kind of work. Today, it seems that it is still a masterpiece, but the ingenious techniques and bridges that broke into the nightmares of countless audiences are no longer amazing. For example, photography uses a lot of close-up frontal gaze, and the audience can't help being substituted into it, directly facing Dr. Lecter's words and stares that can literally kill people, such as the spectacle of the doctor's escape from prison with almost a sense of rhythm. Tricks, such as the rhetoric of switching back and forth between right and wrong at the end of the credits—I've seen this scene at least three times in later crime dramas. "Overcooked" is precisely because it is a classic, so repeated references remain undiminished. I understand some people "so what's so good about it" It's really not quite the same thing as a regular Olympics: it's all about scaring people -- and it's doing it too well -- but it doesn't seem to have much ambition beyond inspiring fear. It can be said that it explores the situation of women under patriarchy. In the elevator of Quantico, in the gathering place of the local police, the little new detective is like a lamb that has strayed into the lion. Being injured and being guided and inspired by the existence of the two prospective fathers is also a classic relationship that has been repeatedly imitated by various films and dramas. and attractiveness, further vividly engraving the way of existence of women after breaking into the traditional territory of men; in the end, women save themselves, from the hands of male predators, those who are saved never stop their efforts to save themselves, and those who save others do not rely on The other (male) people shot at the last second to save the scene. I am extremely comfortable here. Unfortunately, history does not always roll forward. But nothing else. Discuss the evil of human nature? Nothing was discussed. Both Buffalo Bill and Hannibal are too evil, of course, they have their own reasons - Hannibal saw his sister eaten by Nazis with his own eyes, Buffalo Bill was psychologically abused by a strong mother since childhood - but these are not the same. It's not explained in the film, and secondly, it's not inevitable. It doesn't seem to be anything new except for saying "childhood trauma really can't be taken lightly" and "serial killers are born in the soil of deformed parenting, which is a social tragedy". vibration. I still feel that the evil of ordinary people in ordinary days makes people chill even more. As for the "covet" pointed out by the doctor as the root cause of evil, it is too broad to be useful, not to mention the cliché. Dr. Lecter is a strange man, so strange that he "has no faults except cannibalism", so strange that novels, movies and TV series with him as the protagonist have been published one after another, and there are always people who support him and are fascinated by them. This is probably more chewy (no pun intended). Fairness and justice are also sincere wishes, but Mu Qiang is really innate: it seems to be written into the genes earlier than "right or wrong". The only thing that can stand on an equal footing is compassion: compassion that empathizes with the scream of the Lamb, which also has the power to transcend reason and reach the heart.
