1. As the second part of "Silence of the Lambs", it must be compared with the first part. In contrast, in terms of genre, the first part is more terrifying and thrilling, with horror elements; the second part is more suspenseful and criminal, and I personally feel that the horror elements are decreasing and there is no horror element. 2. Sure enough, all sequels are hardly better than the former. Although both of them are typed and commercialized films, the first one is much fresher and more refined than the second one. "Hannibal" is too routine and stereotyped, and it is also more ordinary. The only thing better may be that the design at the beginning and the end is much more thoughtful than the first. While the first one had a lot of things that impressed me, the second one had too little. I've seen too many things to please the audience with extreme, curious, shocking effects. 3. Is Hannibal attractive? It is more certain that he does have it, but such a charming and extremely evil character is quite ordinary, and it seems a bit vulgar. 4. I really hate this kind of trampling on life, dignity, body, and life! Hate the social Darwinism lurking in it. Unrighteous pickpockets, greedy and arrogant inspectors, the price they paid far exceeded the punishment they should have received. They were killed because they were inferior to Hannibal, but they deserved to be killed if they were not capable, even extremely. Killed in a brutal way? Hannibal asked Mason's doctor to take the opportunity to kill Mason, which seems to be "retribution", but Mason died because he was not as good as Hannibal, not because he was full of evil, both died, but the two are different - this is also the heroine to save Hannibal's reason, let him die of revenge and die of the law is not the same. But isn't Hannibal addressing Mason the same contradictory logic? I hate this social Darwinism. No matter how decisive, resolute, and "affectionate" Hannibal is, no matter how good a story is based on that standard, I hate it. 5. I also really hate unbeautiful, unshielded violent shots. I hate the practice of constantly shocking the audience with similar shots in order to stimulate the audience's senses and please the audience. Of course it can be done, but I think it's a low-level aesthetic treatment of suspense movies and crime movies. Especially when it's being repeated. There's something similar in The Silence of the Lambs, but Hannibal certainly adds.
