In the movie "The Silence of the Lambs", Clarice Starling and Hannibal Lecter meet and confront each other, which is the core plot of the film. They didn't meet much, and with the last phone call, there were four direct exchanges. Each time is a well-planned psychological showdown, full of psychological offensive and defensive games of manipulation and counter-manipulation.
First Meeting:
Scenario: Clarice, a trainee agent, is assigned to meet with Hannibal in order to obtain information about the serial killer "Bison Bill".
Psychological offense and defense: Clarice tries to win Hannibal's trust by showing confidence and professionalism. Hannibal looks for her weaknesses by observing Clarice's words and actions. He conceals his true intentions with a façade of politeness and intelligence, while testing Clarice's limits with provocative questions and comments.
This was the first time the two had met, and Hannibal asked Clarice to see her papers. A very normal and common question. After Clarice showed her ID. Hannibal then said the latter words, a little closer. Closer. Combined with Hannibal's deep eyes and expressions, Hannibal had already habitually begun to manipulate the other party in this very first question. Seemingly simple questions and requests are full of temptations of obedience.
After a brief glance at Clarice's papers, Hannibal discovers and points out that they are invalid after a week, and begins to analyze and decipher Clarisse accordingly.
First of all, it is pointed out that Clarice is not a real FBI agent (the validity period of a real agent certificate will be longer, and graduate Clarice is temporarily assigned a task to obtain a temporary certificate). After confirming the information, he said meaningfully: Jack Crawford sent a cadet to meet me?
It's not a question, it's a speculation, and he quickly came to his own reasoning conclusions. Jack Crawford is an FBI senior agent, head of the behavioral sciences department, and an old rival of Hannibal. Faced with the sudden arrival of the beautiful agent, Hannibal immediately deduces that it is his old rival's arrangement, and already understands the purpose of Liz's trip: Jack Crawford wants to use the beautiful new agent to obtain his information, and wants to use his expertise to help solve difficult cases. This case is the hunt for the perverted serial killer "Bison Bill".
With just a glance, we have basically grasped the background of the arrangements for this meeting, the identity and purpose of the visitor, and occupied the commanding heights of the psychological offensive and defensive warfare.
Migus is a perverted prisoner with a dual personality held in the next cell. As Clarice walked into the hallway of the cell and passed by her cell, Migus said something very lewd. Lisi was honest and gained Hannibal's trust.
And this, in fact, is a test of Hannibal to see Lise's honesty and credibility. He laid the groundwork, arranged, guided, and led the conversation to a deep, honest one. He wants an open attitude and communication, to build a relationship of trust between the two parties, and then to obtain more real and effective information, so as to pave the way for insight into weaknesses and psychological manipulation.
At the same time, Hannibal also consciously demonstrated his multifaceted special abilities, extremely keen observation and sense of smell. He took a deep breath on his back, then pinpointed out the brand of makeup that Liz was wearing and how she used it.
You use the Evon skin cream, and sometimes you wear the "eaux-de-eaux-de-eaux-time" perfume, but today you don't.
This is not only a trick show, but also a reminder and a wake-up call: don't lie to me, I can see everything. And this managed to make Clarice a little flustered and uneasy.
Question 3: Did you draw all these paintings?
That's Clarice's question. Faced with the aggressive Hannibal, she wanted to change the subject and tried to get Hannibal to talk about herself from another angle, to get information. Immediately after Hannibal's short answer, he asks new questions and shifts the offensive and defensive posture. As a top psychiatrist, he has to be in control of the conversation at all times. Taking the opportunity to change the subject and ask questions in a roundabout way is a low-level strategy that is useless for Hannibal. He refused without hesitation, and pointed out Lis's problem. Refusal is also a means to make the opponent pressurize and break the defense.
Lise: Did you draw all these paintings?
HANNIBAL: Hmm. It is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Hundred Flowers from the observation tower. Do you know Florence?
Lise: Are all those details from memory?
Hannibal: Agent Starling, I only have memories, no landscapes.
Lise: Okay. Can you share your insights on this questionnaire?
HANNIBAL: NO, NO, NO. You did a great job. You are very polite, and I treat you with courtesy. You confess Migus's embarrassing remarks and build a relationship of trust. Now the conversation has suddenly changed and brought up this questionnaire. That's not going to work.
Seeing this, Lisi deliberately said lightly: I just ask you to take a look, whether you look at it or not.
Rejection can sometimes turn from reactive to proactive. Contempt for neglect, too.
If it's a general opponent, it will have a certain effect. If it is an ordinary criminal, he will be eager to seize the opportunity of meeting in this session and possible meritorious performance, and Lisi's contempt and neglect will make him panic and unconfident, and hurry back to make amends. But these are small tricks that are not worth mentioning for an old cannon and an old bird like Hannibal.
This is Hannibal's unsolicited question. After directly rejecting Lisi's question, he also changed the subject. Turning to Liz's main concern, and the purpose of Liz's trip: to use Hannibal's expertise to obtain a psychological portrait of "Buffalo Bill". This time, Lis's response was more satisfactory to Hannibal. So Hannibal agreed to look at the questionnaire.
Adversarial negotiations should not be blindly aggressive and do not give the other side a chance to breathe. Instead, look at the right time, and on the premise of obedience, give the other party a sweet fruit to eat, and stimulate it to facilitate the subsequent behavior control.
Hannibal just took that questionnaire. After taking a look, he was extremely mocking. Lisi hurriedly argued:
Lise: No. I think with your knowledge......
HANNIBAL: You're ambitious, aren't you? Do you know what I think of you? You're wearing a high-end leather bag and cheap shoes, like a dirt bun. A clean, busy, and tasteful "dirt bun". Although you grew up without food and clothing, you are still the offspring of poor white people. Isn't it, Agent Starling? You're trying to get rid of your accent, pure West Virginia, is your father a miner? Does he emit the stench of kerosene lamps? Those boys quickly hook up with you, fumbling around in the back seat of the car, and you dream of escaping to the ends of the earth to join the FBI.
Lise: You're observant, doctor. Do you dare to use this profound insight to examine yourself? What's wrong, why wouldn't you...... Why don't you dissect yourself and write down your observations? Maybe you're afraid to do that.
To break a person's defense, start with emotions. Based on the information obtained from his careful observations, Hannibal began to further analyze Lith's living environment, family background, personality habits, and past experiences. He said all of these things correctly. It also succeeded in making Liz a little nervous. But Lisi performed well, concisely sorted out her emotions, and recovered immediately.
Liz also taunts Hannibal. Start asking questions and take your opponent's questions as your own. You're so observant, why don't you use it to observe and dissect yourself? Don't you dare? You cowardly fellow!
And this, successfully, speaks to Hannibal's sore spot. Hannibal, who had always been calm, began to be a little agitated. It was a successful counterattack.
And Hannibal quickly regained his composure. He calmly told a chilling story: once an investigator tried to investigate me, so I ate his liver with broad beans and red wine. And emit a terrifying mocking tone. Succeeded in sending fear and chills to Liz.
The last dialogue:
As Clarice walks out of her cell, she is attacked and insulted by a remote pervert from Miggs. When Hannibal learns this, he shouts back to Lis, who is about to leave.
He hates vulgar and rude people. Because he didn't "discipline" the prisoner next door, he changed his mind and wanted to make amends to Lis.
HANNIBAL: I don't want that to happen. Vulgarity and rudeness are indescribably ugly.
Lise: Let's do this test, then.
Hannibal: No, but I'll please you. I'm going to give you a great opportunity.
Lise: What is it, doctor?
Hannibal: Promotion. Listen carefully, you have to examine yourself, Clarice Starling, go to my former patient, Miss Murphy, and go! Migus probably won't have such a quick seizure, though he's a madman. Just go!
The two exchanged conversations through the glass of their cells in a loud, roaring tone. In Hannibal's urgent, commanding words, the two men ended their first conversation. Liz hurriedly escaped from the prison, and by the time she walked out of the prison, her mood had not yet calmed down.
Temptation, rhetorical questioning, dissecting, debunking, provoking, seducing, rebuking, screaming, contempt, mocking, rejection.
The two have attacked and defended each other, but the controller is mainly on Hannibal's side. As a novice agent, Liz is already doing a good job.
This is the first psychological confrontation, and the follow-up will be more exciting, and we will sort it out and improve it when we have time.
