"The Silence of the Lambs" is a classic in the history of Hollywood cinema. The reason why a classic becomes a classic is that every time you taste it, you will have a different feeling. The film is a thriller film based on the work of well-known author Harris.
The film was made under the direction of Jonathan with the help of Hollywood superstar Antoni Hopkins and former Oscar actress Jodie Foster. They portray the characters in the novel vividly, and the personalities of the characters are extremely obvious.
The Silence of the Lambs film
This film is a thick black tone of suspense film, which not only shows the cowardice and deformity of human beings, but also uses this to explain the personality of people in the society of that era, reflecting reality from the film. In addition, the film shows a care for human beings while creating a thriller atmosphere.
In the film, the police enlist Dr. Hannibal, a murderer, to help analyze the psychological characteristics of the prisoners to help them catch another murderer, Bill. This in itself embodies a sense of irony and absurdity. It has an ironic weirdness in itself.
The film "The Silence of the Lambs", why do lambs keep quiet? The little sheep are a key issue in this film, and there are only a few small numbers of them in the entire film.
It was only when Clarice recalled the pain of her childhood that she could hear the lament of the little lamb, who was Clarice herself. However, from a larger perspective, the flock is still the majority.
Because of the encounter in childhood, his heart was strongly stimulated, resulting in a deformed personality. However, he has a high intelligence, so he is also very intelligent, and he helps Clarice on the condition that Clarice must tell her life experience in exchange.
Hannibal killed his own sister, and he was not only a madman, but also a man-eating maniac. However, to solve this case, it can only rely on Clarisse's wisdom.
Soon, police found the remains of a woman. Later, they found out that the killer loved to kill the obese women, and would starve them for days before being killed.
Later, Clarice also found a chrysalis in the victim's throat and had a piece of peeled diamond-like skin on his back.
After the congressman's daughter was captured, she turned to Dr. Hannibal for help. In exchange for her memories of her children, she told them some of the saddest things. It was the wail of a poor little lamb she had heard on her farm after her father's death, and it still haunts her heart.
Hannibal kept his word and said hello to Clarisse. It is said that the murderer experienced a not very good experience in childhood and was greatly traumatized mentally, which is why this happened. He wants to transform from a silkworm chrysalis into a moth.
"Bison Bill" is the murderer, Bill has repeatedly asked for gender transition, but the other party has objected. Later, Clarisse and Hannibal's conversation was overheard by Dr. Chitton and questioned Hannibal, but failed.
After Hannibal escapes, Clarisse, with her courage and intelligence, constantly searches for clues to the case, and finally finds the murderer's accomplices.
Eventually, "Bison Bill" was found and rescued. However, at this time, an even more terrifying Hannibal appeared, and he targeted Dr. Chidton!
Analysis of the main character characteristics of "The Silence of the Lambs"
Clarice lost her father at an early age and lived at an early age with her aunt's house, which was a large ranch. Obviously, she suffered a lot, but she still persevered. In this steppe, almost all the cattle and sheep have been slaughtered, and there are often howls.
Once, she heard the screams of a lamb, grabbed one and fled. The film is covered in a gray atmosphere at the beginning, and the darkness is chilling. However, because she went in the wrong direction, she was not able to save the little sheep.
As a result of this action, she was locked up in an orphanage, and the screams and growls of the little goats left an indelible shadow in her mind. She developed a strong and courageous personality due to trauma from her childhood. As I grew older, such screams never stopped. The terrifying sound continued until the end of her own salvation.
When she was investigating the case, she used the murderous demon Hannibal to kill "Bison Bill" and save the daughter of a member of Parliament. With her courage and perseverance, she overcame the fear brought by the "cry of the lamb" and completed her self-salvation.
The word "lamb" in the film has a deep meaning, it is that she is not strong in her own strength, and she can only use "wailing" to express the fear in her heart.
It is also a derogatory term for women in social positions and for those who are killed. And after the murderer was killed, the "Lamb" also quieted down, and there was no more sound.
In the film, Clarice is the main character, and by reminiscing about her childhood, she saves herself, leaving "Lamb" speechless. There is no doubt that she is a great woman and a brave woman. She used her courage and perseverance, her perseverance and persistence, to reverse her destiny.
Not only can she overcome her inner fears, but she can also say that she is not afraid of her fate at all. She knows that only she can control her own destiny.
This movie, showing Clarisse's life bit by bit in front of the audience, let the audience see the horror in her heart, coupled with her story full of wisdom and courage, finally, the character of Clarice was firmly remembered by the audience!
Let his temperament become distorted and deformed. While he was running away with his sister, he beheaded an elk. Such a child without sympathy and compassion later killed his own sister in the same way. This undoubtedly reflects the significant psychological impact of the injuries of war on people, especially children.
Although he was intelligent, witty, sensitive, and analytical, he was severely traumatized. Hannibal loves art and paints. He is also a psychoanalyst.
Overall, he is a talented, intelligent, and analytical person. Hannibal had an innate talent for extraordinary logic and keen observation. However, he became a man-eating demon.
Hannibal is also a very key character in the film, and his dual personality is fully reflected in the film.
On the one hand, he dissected the psychological characteristics of the murderer, showing calmness, wisdom and knowledge. Moreover, he was very obsessed with and adored Freud's ideas. What he longed for was a free life, a quiet and beautiful life.
However, his cannibalism led him to be imprisoned in this small cell. The misery here shows beyond any doubt the great psychological damage caused to the people in the environment of war.
In the process of helping Clarisse analyze the case, his wisdom and clarity made everyone look at it. From his secret love for Clarisse, it can be seen that he is still very emotional, and the appropriate subtlety, the appropriate tenderness, will show his fickle personality to the fullest.
He grieved his fate. He was also terrible, and that man-eating madness made him even more terrifying. At the end of the film, when he escapes from prison and continues to search for his next destination, the creepy twisted spirit fills the film with an atmosphere of depression and fear.
In the novel The Silence of the Lambs, "Bison Bill" is a murderer who kills others with extreme cruelty. Moreover, he will choose obese women, starve them for days, and finally kill them in a weird way.
In the movie, FBI Agent Clarice asks Hannibal, another murderous murderer, for help in finding such a crazy murderer. The growth rate of "Bison Bill" is his conclusion based on Hannibal's speculation.
He believes that "Bison Bill" is in an environment that is likely to be a psychopathic person, so he believes that "Bison Bill" may live in an unfortunate family.
The mother should be a psychopath, living in such a family since childhood, lacking the embrace and love of the mother. This caused him indescribable physical and mental trauma.
The tragic experience of childhood slowly made him twisted, he was full of lust for women's bodies, he tried gender transition more than once, but they were ruthlessly rejected. This made his mentality more and more abnormal. He killed because he wanted to be a real woman and wanted to be loved by his mother.
"Bison Bill" tries to get rid of the tragic memories of his childhood, but he adopts an abomination in order to seek spiritual liberation. He killed the woman, placed the chrysalis on her neck, and cut two more pieces of skin from her back.
According to Hannibal's inference, the "bison Bill" was trying to hatch a moth from the cocoon. It also means that he needs to change his gender to ease the burden on his heart.
The cruelty of its methods is undoubtedly heinous. Cruelty, bloodthirsty, fearful, twisted personality, everything can be used on the head of "Bison Bill". However, on the other hand of the film, it presents the subtle emotions that have not been revealed in his heart.
He is murderous and bloodthirsty, but he still has a lot of affection for his pets. He is a cruel murderer, he is a poor man who hides his feelings deep in his heart, he is a man who wants to save himself in his own way.
Everyone in "The Silence of the Lambs" has their own characteristics, and even an insignificant supporting character like Dr. Chilton has its own unique characteristics. Dr. Chilton rarely appears and begins with a public appearance as the director of a psychological crime research institute.
This is just a profession, a noble medical ethic. During Clarisse's conversation with Hannibal, he eavesdropped on his conversation and questioned him individually. He was eager to make meritorious contributions only for his identity and glory. It can be seen that in this world, most people strive for their own success.
After that, Chilton even tried to capture Clarisse and try to get Clarice to tell the truth, but he didn't succeed. It can be seen that he is a person who can do everything, and it can even be said that he is a person with a sense of guilt!
epilogue
Clarisse in "The Silence of the Lambs" is brave, dares to face all difficulties and dangers, and forces herself to overcome her inner fears in order to save her life.
Finally, leave the little lamb in your heart speechless. "Bison Bill" saves his mind in an incorrect way, which ultimately leads to his own destruction. "The little lamb cries" represents timidity, represents pain, and represents scars that the hero does not want to touch.
Perhaps, there is a kind of "lamb's lament" in everyone's heart, which makes them feel fear. Every little lamb's scream evokes some painful memories that make people frightened to watch. Some things he doesn't want to face, some memories, some pain, he doesn't want to think about.
However, if you don't touch it, you can't smooth it out, you can't save yourself, you can't let the "scream" in the nightmare disappear completely! Therefore, we must dare to face unfair fate, dare to expose our inner pain, and dare to complete our own salvation.
With love, with strength to break through the barriers of pain, let pain be illuminated by the sun, and let the "silent" "lamb" in the heart last forever!
