Author / Hayashi Ono

A friend asked me before, what is "The Silence of the Lambs" talking about?

After reading a look of confusion, I couldn't refine the central idea at all.

I said that this film is similar to "Seven Deadly Sins", basically following the path of apocalyptic decadence.

It is about the harm of post-industrial civilization to human nature. Are we humans, primates with limited brain capacity, enough to mix societies? Is it really good to live like a Sherlock Holmes every day? Wouldn't it be better to accidentally pervert the hermit farming? Wait and so on...

The week-long, cost-grabbing horror film that won the only Oscar for best film is a lot of talk and goes on.

Today Ono continues to interpret the classics for you, about the "Silence of the Lambs" in front of and behind the scenes, surrounding tidbits, secret anecdotes, say something you don't know.

Anthony Hopkins

On February 14, 1991, since the release of "The Silence of the Lambs", Anthony Hopkins has been blown up.

Usually this kind of not-so-good-looking movie star is more likely to live in people's talk, because subconsciously everyone feels that they have intersected with themselves.

The longest-running myth is that Hopkins broke a record - winning an Oscar with a 7-minute performance, becoming the shortest film emperor to appear on camera.

This is too unreliable.

The film begins at 12 minutes and 27 seconds when the heroine and heroine Baltimore first meet, until 19 minutes and 26 seconds when Hannibal shouts "go! now！ "It takes 7 minutes for a play to end.

Another claim seems to hold water, that Anthony Hopkins won an Oscar for 16 minutes, setting the shortest record.

Some time ago, I also read the title of such an article - the most elegant and perverted film history, only 16 minutes of film appearance to win the Oscar to tell you what is called nano-level performance...

This statement is also wrong.

In fact, the exact length of Hopkins appearance in the whole movie is 24 minutes and 52 seconds, and if he is the shortest film appearance, he can only rank second in the history of the Oscars.

The first place is Hollywood star David Niven!

1959 31st Academy Awards

I have mentioned this movie star several times in previous film reviews, including "Massacre on the Nile", "Sea Wolf" and so on.

At the 31st Academy Awards in 1959, David Nevin won Best Actor for Mandarin Duck.

David Nevin appears in this film for a total of 23 minutes and 39 seconds! Thus setting a record!

No one has matched so far!

1958 film Mandarin Duck Table

The 1958 movie "Mandarin Duck Spectrum" is right for the old princess of "Murder on the Orient Express"

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" > Do you really think you're watching a movie about The Silence of the Lambs? </h1>

Baltimore Law Hospital, Clarice, after ending a meeting with Dr. Hannibal, was bullied by the bad guys, she walked out of the hospital gate, shivering in the cold wind, tears shining, and finally stood in the parking lot to cover her face and cry, a scene that was not in the original script.

It all started with the proposal of an FBI woman consultant.

Judy Foster went to the real FBI headquarters to experience life beforehand, and was strongly supported by the behavioral science team mentioned in the film! Moreover, under the guidance of a criminal characterizer, she took gun and secret agent training and attended several courses.

During this time, the FBI assigned a senior female agent, Mary Ann Krause, as a professional tutor.

The scene of crying in the parking lot wind is what Mary proposes to Judy. "The pressure of this work is overwhelming a lot of the time, it's just crazy," she said. Almost every one of our colleagues has had the experience of crying loudly, including men. ”

Mary's proposal was adopted, and I don't know if the Oscar Best Adapted Screenplay Little Golden Man split one leg?

Not only that, but the Bureau also provided Judy Foster with an FBI-specific gun, the S&amp;W Model 13!

Smith Wesson manufactures the S&amp;W M13

The S&amp;W M13 revolver, loaded with .357 (9 mm) Magnum pistol cartridges with a three-inch barrel, was the last revolver to be mounted by the FBI.

Of course, when the heroine finally shot "Bill", the recoil shown by the M13 revolver was smaller than the actual, and it could only be understood that Judy Foster was trained well by the FBI.

By the way, the revolver used by Bison Bill is colt Anaconda, which is ironic. This means that in dark scenes, all he does is pull the trigger all the way without having to pull back the hammer. He lost his life the first time he pulled the hammer.

So, the question is, why does the FBI, a cold-blooded door, suddenly have a warm pulse, ask for people to give people, guns to guns, and provide 360-degree dead-end nanny-style services to the entire crew?

First of all, I will tell you about the FBI Academy where this heroine is studying.

To draw you a map of the location of the event, let's talk about the town of Quantico in the lower right corner.

Students who like to watch American dramas will often bump into a word Quantico - Quantico.

It's located in Prince William County, a small, humble county town in eastern Virginia, where the silent lamb crew went to film, with a population of less than 400.

Yes, you read that right, it's either 4 million or 400 people.

It is such a place where rabbits do not, but there is a great reputation behind it. This is the hatching base for the Navy SEALs and the FBI.

The teenagers you may casually walk by in the town are the future 007.

Even though the FBI headquarters were located here, it wasn't the American agents we imagined were all dressed up in Washington, New York.

At the beginning of the film, Clarice runs through the woods, and a large tree is nailed with the FBI Academy slogan - "Hurt, suffer, pain, love them." ”

The film is not written in its entirety, and the slogan on the original novel reads: "Hurt, suffer, pain, love them, or embrace death!" ”

The film didn't get so alarmist because the FBI Academy itself had its own greed.

One college executive made no secret of it — "The FBI counted on this film to recruit more female agents." OK, you can think of it as a big recruiting ad. ”

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" > this moth in the film is inspired by ancient Chinese funeral customs</h1>

Although this moth is not in the cast list and has its own stage name like another animal actor and puppy treasure, it is also well treated and pompous.

Let's start with the moth pupae that came out of the corpse's mouth.

Because of the fear that the actor will accidentally swallow it, its raw material is actually bear gummy!!!

Surprised? Surprised? Unhappy?!!!

Probably afraid of not meeting the taste of the actors, Bear Gummies also added baby rolls Tootsie-Rolls.

Baby rolls Rootsie-Rolls

This can also be proved from the side - the body in the film is a real person.

Actor Chris McGinn

Next, let's talk about the second character of this film, the skeleton moth!

Towards the end of the film, when Clarice knocks on the door of "Buffalo Bill" Jim Gambo's house, she just comes to See Mrs. Ripman and does not suspect her master.

The next sentence from Jim Gambo makes Clarice suspicious — this guy's way of categorizing the crowd is really special.

Then the man reported to his home, "My name is Jack Gordon" - Jack Gordon, whose name is J.G.;

The sensitive Clarice is even more suspicious because her boss has just informed Jim Gambo, the recipient of the cardboard box who purchased the moths, Jame Gumb, whose name is J.G.

This is obviously a fake name that a person made up in a panic.

In the next scene, Clarice's guess was confirmed, that is, the skeleton moth that flew in the dim room flew over and finally landed on the online axis.

This is simply a sufficient condition, and the first half of the two biologists said that this moth is only available in Asia.

According to Thomas Harris, the author of the original novel, the moth in the mouth of the corpse was inspired by a funerary custom in ancient China.

Students who often visit the market may bump into this kind of thing -

YuRu

Han Dynasty Jade

Tell you, you can inquire before you start, because they are most likely taken out of the mouths of dead people by grave robbers.

This funeral custom is very old, dating back to the Yin Ruins of the Shang Dynasty.

Because "cicada" has the meaning of the golden cicada shedding its shell and escaping from heaven. Moreover, in the eyes of the ancients, cicadas symbolized cleanliness and self-improvement, so they were born to admire, and died to be ashamed.

The crew of "Silent Lambs" is not very convenient to introduce moths from the place of origin, after all, they are all pests, which are called sesame grimace moths by our farmers' uncles with gritted teeth, because it specializes in eating sesame seeds, fast and fierce, such as locust transit.

So, the skeleton moth you see in the movie is actually played by the native Tobacco Moth in the United States.

This is the skeleton moth on the movie poster, and when zoomed in, you will find that this is a painting by Dalí.

It is said that there are seven women in this painting, symbolizing the seven victims of this film, which requires testing your eyesight.

The painter Dalí did not work for the film for a day or two, such as the dream set of the old movie "Doctor Edward" that we are all very familiar with.

The movie "Doctor Edward" a large scissors cut a lot of eyes, who else remembers?

Of course, local actor Tobacco Moth expressed anxiety, after all, he had to play a distant Relative of Asian Descent, because of the skin color problems, he needed to wear heavy makeup.

Tobacco moth

The tobacco moth used in the film was treated as a star. They travel in special aircraft first class, have special living areas (rooms with controlled humidity and heat), and soar through the blue skies and white clouds of the United States in elaborate costumes (with painted skulls).

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" > puppy Dara is 16 years old, and this film is his posthumous work</h1>

Dara Darla, a puppy, plays the little treasure In the film

The puppy, Dara Darla, is a dog of the first generation, having previously collaborated with Tom Hanks on Neighbors from Hell (The 'Burbs, 1989)

The 'Burbs, 1989)

The Silent Lamb

Many viewers thought Dara was a poodle, but in fact it was a bearie!

Bichon Frisé, French: Bichon Frisé, refers to a white curly-haired gadget.

Canines are more cute than bears

This breed became popular in the thirteenth century, when Spanish sailors often bartered for more than ever, and it was about to become a currency.

As a result, at that time, the Maldives Island of Thanarif was more infested than a bear, and there were more dogs than crabs. In 1500, the French invaded Italy, captivated by the cute appearance of the bears, brought them back to France as booty, and became popular among the court ladies, and were often forced to bathe with the hostess.

However, in the seventeenth century, Bixiong fell out of favor and was eventually thrown out of the palace mansion and reduced to a juggler.

This film intends to choose Dara to star, and the choreographer has his own intentions, after all, Bixiong is a meatless dog breed.

Dara was born in 1975, and when he starred in this film, he was 16 years old and belonged to the old artists of virtue and art.

SO, as a friendship big name, Dara has her own poster!

In the summer of 1992, Dara died without a problem.

The little girl gained 25 pounds for the character

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="05" > perverted "Bill" solo dance in the home, what is the name of the background music? </h1>

The perverted Jim Gambo nicknamed "Buffalo Bill"

If Jim Gambo hadn't died at the end of the film and ended up being arrested and tried, he'd defend himself in court— "People just want to be a girl."

The scene of Jim dancing solo in front of the camera left a deep impression on many viewers, and the picture has a strange and eerie beauty.

Portraying this intoxicated and unguided perversion to the extreme adds many uncertainties to the film, thus promoting the desire to watch.

Olympus lay gun

This is due to the excellent performance of actor Ted Levine, who is said to have insisted on adding to the director, who Ted believes is crucial to character development.

Of course, the background music is also indispensable.

The song was recorded by singer Q Lazzarus in 1988, "Goodbye, Horses", and was included on the album Clerks II.

With the popularity of "The Silence of the Lambs", "Goodbye, Horse" also became popular overnight, and was praised by the American people as "the song of Bison Bill".

He then appeared in Married to the Mob, Clerk II, The Complete Burning of Lakai Shoes, the video game Grand Theft Auto 4, EA's video game Skateboard 3, and the TV shows Men in the Family (The Silence of the Lambs) and Niptak.

Clerks II cover

There is a dark stem in this song, "horse" symbolizes man in American slang, such as our beloved Stallone Sensen was once known as a certain horse.

The name of the song "Goodbye, Horse" implies de-masculinization, which is very appropriate for this film.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="06" why did the heroine of the > search for photos in the music box of the deceased? </h1>

When the heroine Clarice comes to the home of the victim, Freika, to search for evidence, she is told by the deceased's sad old father that there have been several groups of police in the house, and she has nothing new to tell her.

However, Clarice still relied on her keen observation and judgment to find clues in the old house, which led to significant progress in the investigation of the case.

It all started with a music box.

Why did countless peers ignore this evidence in the past, but Clarice had a unique vision?

Because the theme music floating out of this music box is Mozart's "The Magic Flute".

In that opera, the hero fascinates his followers through a music box and blesses the heroine.

Clarice believes that the female deceased will put the most important and caring items of a young girl out of a good fortune.

Sure enough, the top of her music box dug up a picture of the deceased.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="07" > a huge coincidence that the real Bison Bill is actually a neighbor of Bill's actor's girlfriend</h1>

Actor Ted Levine Ted Levine

Brooke Smith, the daughter of a trapped parliamentarian in the film, loves Ted's performance.

As a newcomer to the American Academy of Drama, she wanted to ask for some experience, so she asked Ted, "How did you act so well?" ”

Ted said confusedly, "I don't know, so I drank a lot of coffee." ”

After receiving the "Silence of the Lambs" film contract, Ted's first thought was that it would be difficult to find a job in the future.

Still, he scoured the literature, fieldwork, and planned to find his feelings in the hometown of "Bison Bill", the real Jim Gambo.

After obtaining the real background information of the police, he was surprised to find that this Jim actually lived in Bel Air, Ohio!

Ted Levine's own birthplace!

Still, despite his fright, Ted drives to Jim's old house to find out what to feel.

Here, Ted Levine not only discovers that "Bison Bill" is a neighbor of his high school sweetheart, but also sees a picture of his girlfriend in his room.

It can only be said that all this is in the dark.

After starring in "The Silent Lamb", as expected, Ted did encounter a series of troubles, and the film that came to the door was either mentally ill or perverted. But Ted is a smart man, he refused all this, choosing to make a small cameo role in the film and television series, boiling frogs in warm water, and using time to dilute the audience's memories.

At that time, the author himself was also very worried about Ted's future way out, and he has always been sorry for him, if Ted was born in the right era, he could have acted in avant-garde films, experimental movies and so on.

Later, for a long time, I looked for his figure in various films and televisions.

"Oh, he did 'The Line of Fire', good things, good things, but where is he?"

"Oh, he played X-Men and Won Smith, but how could I not find him?"

The bald uncle in "The Line of Fire" is not easily detected

It wasn't until 2010, when she starred in Little Plum's "Confinement Island", that Ted Levine returned from male number N to the first page of the cast list and upgraded to male number seven.

Twenty years have passed since then, and no one else knows how I still haven't forgotten Bill the Bison anyway.

Ted Levine with his wife

By the way, there is also an actor in "The Silence of the Lambs", because he played a famous villain in other movies before, resulting in a gray face in the second half of his life, and had to play a corpse in major classic films.

Lieutenant Boyle was killed alive by Dr. Hannibal with a baton

The actor, named Charles Napier, was previously hated by the audience for playing the villain Murdock in "Rambo 2" and brutally persecuting Stallone, until he was born at the age of 75 on October 5, 2011, and did not get a chance to make a comeback.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="08" > Judy Foster's secret love for the heroine of Top Gun</h1>

There was no shortage of women around Judy Foster, but she hadn't come out yet.

Ten years later, people not only learned of her lesbian identity, but also expressed surprise at her girlfriend at the time!

Top Gun actress Kelly McGillis

Everyone knows that Judy won the 64th Academy Award for Best Actress for "The Silence of the Lambs", when he was 30 years old.

Three years earlier, however, in 1989, she had already won an Oscar for "The Accused."

This movie everyone should not pretend not to have seen, hong Kong translation of "Violent Pear Blossom", you know.

"Defendant" Movie Stills (1988) Hong Kong Translation of "Violent Pear Blossom"

The female lawyer who plays the role of "Storm Pear Blossom" is the heroine of "Top Gun" Kelly McGillis.

The two became acquainted with each other and came together.

If you understand the filming process, you'll be in awe of Judy Foster, who was 25 years old at the time.

The famous 14-minute group scene lasted five days, during which Judy was rumored to have fallen asleep at the pool table.

After that, the male actors were extremely tired, and their mood fluctuated greatly, some of them collapsed in tears on the spot, and some even vomited on the wall.

Only Judy Foster took it lightly, and even in turn comforted the male actors one by one and stabilized their emotions.

Contrary to the plot of the movie, the real victim in real life is Kelly McGillis, who plays the female lawyer.

This is probably the root of her dislike of men.

Kelly McGillis in Top Gun

From 1988 until 2003, she was with Judy, secretly.

But Judy has changed in recent years —

The two registered on April 20, 2014, and have not left.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="09" > Jack's real prototype is FBI agent John Douglas</h1>

FBI Jack Crawford Jack Crawford

These two people are more than two people, and by the end of the film, I still thought they could succeed.

Standard Lori Uncle matching.

It ended up being the most open-ended ending I didn't like.

In fact, the prototype of this handsome uncle Jack is the famous FBI agent John Edward Douglas!

Many authoritative FBI mind reading and micro-expression analysis books circulating on the market today originate from this jun's hand.

White-collar workers in the north, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen are familiar with this name.

Character Archetype John Edward Douglas!

Not only that, the American drama "Mind Hunter", which young people love to chase today, is also adapted from John Douglas's novel and case book.

What made John Douglas famous in the international police community was the Green River Killer Incident!

John Edward Douglas was an early member of the FBI's Behavioral Science Division, where he gave guidance on the portrayal of actor Scott Glenn as a member of the BSU (Division of Behavioral Sciences).

Douglas remained an active FBI agent during the film's production, when he was tracking down "Green River Killer" Gary Ridgeway. He is believed to have killed more than 90 women in Washington between 1982 and 1998. It ended up in Douglas in 2001.

Part of the film's Bison Bill prototype is derived from the Green River Killer, although he was not yet arrested.

Actor Scott Glenn

After working with Douglas for some time, Scott Glenn was grateful to him and said how fascinating it was to be allowed into his world.

Douglas laughed and told Glenn that if he really wanted to enter his own world, he should listen to a tape of serial killers Lawrence Bitak and Roy Norris, torturing, raping and murdering two teenage girls.

Glenn listened for less than a minute, and has since said that he felt instantly innocent, and that he had never forgotten everything he had heard.

Well, today's classic interpretation is here for everyone! Have a great weekend! See you next time!
