Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 570 Oni no Takeshi, who has the demeanor of a master, the analysis of the crowd, and Hannibal's appearance!

As the lights in the screening room dimmed, the movie officially began.

The Silence of the Lambs, a classic work revered in another world, appeared for the first time in the world of Detective Conan.

The movie gave the audience quite a "surprise" right from the start.

In a city in America, a serial killer has recently emerged, murdering multiple people with extremely cruel methods.

These victims were all skinned alive and bled to death.

Painful and miserable.

This series of murders drew the attention of the police, who dubbed the killer "Buffalo Bill."

With just a few words and a few shots at the beginning, the film successfully created an image of a cruel and ruthless serial killer in the minds of the audience.

Almost simultaneously, viewers across the country felt a chill run down their spines.

Who wouldn't be afraid of such a terrifying killer?
From the very beginning, the audience felt a sense of suspense.

I immediately realized that "The Silence of the Lambs" is a completely different movie from "The Sixth Sense"; it is a true thriller!
But Takeshi Onino's ability to create a terrifying atmosphere goes far beyond that.

Next, he used a long shot to show Buffalo Bill's house.

This is a one-minute long take that not only shows the killer's house but also increases the audience's curiosity about him.

Because the time depicted in a long take is the same as the actual time the audience watches, when the camera moves through the murderer's house, the audience feels as if they are there.

This scene, accompanied by music and a screaming female voice, begins with the moth pupa as the main subject. After pausing for a second or two, the camera slowly moves to the right, and the transformed butterfly enters the frame.

Then, the camera pulls back, like a person's eyes surveying the surroundings, and a knife and a female model come into view one after another!

Cold, gloomy, dark, crowded, and chaotic are the summaries of what the audience saw.

When the camera zoomed out again, the focus shifted, and the killer's back became the visual center of the image, his snow-white body standing out starkly against the cool color palette.

He is doing something seriously.

The camera continues to zoom in, trying to get closer to the killer, but just as the audience is about to see what the killer is doing, a pampered dog shifts the focus, and the audience follows it to a deep well, gradually getting closer to the screaming sound.

However, Takeshi Ono clearly didn't want the audience to see the girl's despair in the well. The camera lingered on the edge of the dry well, because the right to reveal the mystery was to be left to the subsequent news report.

The series of shots were used very cleverly; there wasn't a single scary scene throughout the entire process, yet the atmosphere of terror was conveyed very profoundly.

Although the killer's actions were not clearly seen, the audience was able to guess what he was doing.

kill!
Skinning!

A chill ran down my spine!
That's the charm of cinematic language!
The film critics present, witnessing this scene, all secretly cheered in their hearts.

At the same time, I couldn't help but exclaim: With just these few shots, Takeshi Ono already has the style of a film master!

While the average viewer may not see the technical details, they can still feel the suspenseful atmosphere conveyed within.

Miyamoto Yumi couldn't help but grip Haneda Hideyoshi's sleeve tightly, her whole body shrinking slightly towards him.

At this moment, she was no longer that fierce tigress, but a fragile girl who needed protection.

Haneda Hideyoshi glanced at her, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes, and gently took the girl's hand in his.

Miyamoto Yumi looked up, their eyes met, and they smiled at each other.

Like Yumi Miyamoto, most viewers were terrified of Buffalo Bill, the fearsome killer.

However, this does not include personnel from major intelligence agencies.

They had seen far more perverse and brutal things; these things were nothing more than a drop in the ocean for them.

Even the people at the distillery thought the same thing. "Tch, just a rude and barbaric petty thief, what's there to be afraid of!"

Chianti curled her lip, giving Buffalo Bill a disdainful look.

The number of people she killed was less than a fraction of what they killed; their distillery wouldn't even want someone like that.

"Although Buffalo Bill is insignificant, this part still has a lot to say..."

Bourbon began to speak.

"Tch, it's just a lousy, crappy place. What's there to say?" Chianti continued to scoff.

Cohen, Ireland, and others nearby echoed in agreement, but they didn't see anything particularly interesting about it either.

Bourbon rolled his eyes helplessly. He really had nothing in common with this group of ignorant and good-for-nothing guys who knew nothing but how to talk.

But he still patiently explained:

“There are metaphors in these shots…”

……

"That skull moth pupa symbolizes Buffalo Bill himself, and also the prison of trauma he was trapped in due to childhood abuse..."

Shuichi Akai began to explain and analyze the situation to those around him.

Like Bourbon, after making several films in a row, his analysis of film also became more professional.

"...Most psychopaths are caused by traumatic childhood experiences, and Buffalo Bill was probably no exception."

Why was he so obsessed with peeling off the skin of the deceased? Because after his request for gender reassignment was rejected, he wanted to achieve a deformed 'transformation' by peeling off skin to make clothes!

……

"But there's a saying, 'like a moth to a flame.' Buffalo Bill's indulgence in this twisted form of self-redemption will inevitably lead to his self-destruction!"

After listening to Mary Akai's analysis, Masumi Sera nodded in agreement.

Then he turned his attention back to the big screen.

Although it was only the beginning, she was already deeply captivated by the film.

Not only Sera Masumi, but even Akai Mari, whose mind was not originally on the movie, couldn't help but glance at it.

……

People from the organization and various intelligence agencies didn't feel much about Buffalo Bill and the horror at the beginning, subconsciously thinking that the movie's thrills were nothing special.

Until the arrival of another person, their thinking was completely changed...

Because the murderer could not be found for a long time, the police were under immense public pressure and, in desperation, came up with a solution that was hardly a solution at all.

Go ask other deranged criminals for help!
Trying to extract a profile of Buffalo Bill's thoughts from these even more depraved criminals might help them find clues related to Buffalo Bill.

However, the person the police most wanted to interview consistently refused to cooperate with them.

So, on a whim, the police sent out Clarice Starling, a trainee detective who had not yet been officially appointed.

Send her to the prison to meet the legendary, most terrifying, and fearsome man, whom countless people consider a nightmare!

Thus, Hannibal Lecter, a classic character worthy of being written about extensively throughout film history, finally appeared in everyone's sight!

Mads Mikkelsen makes his appearance!
