Chapter 573 The Terrifying Hannibal, During the Movie Viewing

"This guy...is dangerous!"

Bourbon frowned almost imperceptibly, a deep sense of apprehension crossing his mind.

The person he was referring to was, of course, Hannibal Lecter, played by Gin.

Meticulous and profound, indifferent to life, exceptionally skilled, extremely calm yet extremely mad...

Such a person, once he becomes a criminal, is the most terrifying and dangerous one!
This made Bourbon, a police officer, instinctively wary.

I unconsciously started to imagine whether I could handle a criminal like Hannibal Lecter if I encountered him.

In the end, Bourbon's answer was surprisingly negative!
This made him uneasy.

Fortunately, such a dangerous creature doesn't exist in reality, but...

"Hannibal...is just as dangerous as Gin!"

Shuichi Akai murmured softly, his expression unconsciously becoming serious.

Hannibal's actions had already crossed the line in his mind.

Like Bourbon, Shuichi Akai subconsciously immersed himself in the movie, but even he dared not let his guard down when facing a guy like Hannibal.

Just like Gin in real life.

The same danger, the same tricky situation.

Even with Shuichi Akai's pride, he had to admit that Hannibal was a terrifying figure who was in no way inferior to Gin.

"No wonder Gin can act so well..." he muttered to himself.

the other side.

"Shin Chun, if you ever encounter someone like Hannibal Lecter in real life, remember to stay far away!"

Mary Akai solemnly admonished her daughter.

Sera Masumi opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but couldn't say anything.

Taking the opportunity to warn her daughter, Mary Akai turned her attention back to the big screen.

In her view, Hannibal was even more dangerous than Gin.

Gin is tough, ruthless, arrogant, and a ruthless killer, but Hannibal is better at understanding and manipulating people's hearts, and can easily bewitch them.

In some ways, such people are undoubtedly more dangerous.

Compared to that, Mary Akai felt she would rather face Gin.

This also demonstrates Gin's success in character portrayal.

From the moment Hannibal appeared, the overall pace picked up, with a psychological battle unfolding between Hannibal and Clarice, a back-and-forth exchange that was both captivating and exciting.

As a top student majoring in psychology, Clarice was not so easily broken down, and even took the initiative to provoke Hannibal.

But in the end, Hannibal was the better one, seemingly in control of everything, using words to gradually force and break down Clarice's psychological defenses, ultimately succeeding in making her reveal the secrets hidden deep within her heart.

She opened up her inner world to him.

The lamb she failed to save in her childhood is a reflection of Clarice's true inner self.

When she chose to open up about her past and reveal this to a criminal, it meant that she had gradually become Hannibal's "captive"!
But Hannibal did not achieve "victory" either; in the process, he was also unexpectedly touched by Clarice.

He developed a subtle feeling for her.

Appreciation, pity... these are emotions that are different from those of others.

This feeling cannot be simply explained as romantic love between a man and a woman.

What attracted Hannibal was definitely not just a woman's beauty and intelligence. Before this, he had been trying to control Clarice.

For example, he conducted a full psychoanalysis of Clarice, mocked her ambition, and even imitated her accent to provoke her.

But the turning point came after he heard Clarice's story about the farm.

A little girl who has lost both parents escapes from her relatives' farm. Anyone would guess that this might be a story about abuse or even sexual assault, but Clarice's narration completely exceeded Hannibal's expectations.

She wept for the lambs waiting to be slaughtered on the ranch.

She trembled uncontrollably upon hearing the screams.

She opened the sheepfold door in the darkness and managed to escape with one of the sheep as many as possible.

She failed, and then watched helplessly as the lambs were slaughtered.

She murmured: It's too heavy.

The lambs here are like helpless humans.

Clarice's tears were not for herself, but for all suffering beings.

This compassionate love has a distinct religious significance, which bathed her in divine light at that moment, making her like the Virgin Mary.

She wanted to save them with her frail body, but the heavy burden and ultimate failure left Clarice breathless.

Clarice was like a ray of light, shining into Hannibal's heart, which was shrouded in darkness.

Hannibal was completely moved by her; he even shed tears and said, "Clarice, thank you."

Later, he took advantage of the opportunity to deliver the documents to create the only physical contact between the two people in the entire story—their fingers touched.

This contact was highly symbolic, signifying a spiritual connection between Hannibal and Clarice.

In the audience, film critics were writing furiously, and they hardly stopped writing from the very beginning of the film.

This film is full of metaphors and has so much to explore; almost every shot has a unique meaning.

Such films excite film critics, whose eyes gleam with excitement.

The moment Hannibal and Clarice's fingers touched, all the film critics unconsciously sat up straight.

"This shot..."

Someone murmured.

As a professional film critic, he understood the meaning that the shot was trying to convey, and that's precisely why it shocked him.

I couldn't help but feel immense admiration for Oni Takeshi.

The other party has truly mastered the art of using camera language.

Before we knew it, two-thirds of the movie had already been played.

As Hannibal profiles Buffalo Bill, the truth is gradually revealed, and the atmosphere becomes increasingly tense.

The success of "The Silence of the Lambs" in creating suspense lies in the fact that it does not create an extremely tense and dangerous atmosphere for the audience by directly showing violent and bloody scenes.

Apart from a few scattered shots showing corpses, the film keeps violence and gore off-screen, allowing the audience's imagination to fill in the gaps through shots of characters' reactions, panoramic shots, and so on.

The most terrifying scene is when Hannibal peels off a human skin and puts it on his face.

But the gore was secondary; what was truly terrifying was that just when everyone thought Hannibal had escaped from prison, he, disguised as a prison guard's "corpse," sat up in the ambulance!
This scene sent chills down the spines of all the viewers.

I also truly realized how terrifying and horrifying Hannibal is!
Cunning, cruel, and perverse, yet cunning and ruthless!
Such criminals are everyone's nightmare!
Next, Hannibal disappeared from the sight of the film's characters and the audience, but left a deep and unforgettable impression on everyone!
Anthony Hopkins, with his Oscar-worthy performance in 16 minutes, created a character unlike any other in film history.

Now, Gin has done it too!
