Hannibal lecter is a powerful challenger to the existing social order. This film portrays Hannibal as a gentleman who knows how to steal, exaggerates her knowledgeable and astute charm, and describes his conflict with the social system as the conflict between the devil and the nonhuman. Many paragraphs in the film are entered from Hannibal's narrative angle, which induces the audience to think from his standpoint.
Gogi and Hannibal represent two kinds of power order and two kinds of control. On the one hand, Dai resisted terror, on the other hand, she endured abuse. She is a representative of modern people. She has grown from an abused person to a rescuer. She represents a value position, which is different from Gogi and Hannibal. She lingers between the two men, and the internal tension of the overall situation lies in her dilemma.
Hannibal and Bill are monsters and children, Bill is an abusive criminal personality, and Hannibal is an abusive criminal personality. The relationship between Dai and Hannibal is tame and rebellious, and there are conflicts between psychoanalysis and anti-analysis, control and anti-control. The relationship between Dai and Gao E is trust and utilization, and eventually they become strangers and enemies.
Gao Qi is Dai's mentor, CEO and senior. He should be kind to his students and subordinates. However, Gao Qi ignored Dai's safety, sent her to a dead end, and took a contemptuous, indifferent and discriminatory attitude towards him. Hannibal is an ogre, and Shilin Dai should have been his prey, but he can appreciate her talent and become her psychologist and detective mentor. Dai was disappointed with Gao E's fatherly complex. In the setting of the relationship between characters, The Silence of the Lambs broke the traditional pattern of opposition between good and evil.
The center of the structure-the heroine's hidden motives.
There are two main lines in the story. On the front line, Dai chased Bill, a wild bull, while Bill continued to commit crimes. It has become a very urgent task for Dai to capture two women and rescue the last hostage. On the second line, Dai was sent to interrogate Hannibal in order to find clues about Bill. In order to get information from Bill, Dai used his psychological secrets to exchange clues with Hannibal, and there was a dangerous relationship between them.
Between these two main lines, there are three relationships: Shilin Dai and Bill, Dai and Gao E, and Dai and Hannibal. In these relationships, Dai is always at the center of the intersection of clues. In these two lines and three connections, there is a convergence center, which is Dai's hidden behavioral motivation. As a female student in a police academy, why did Dai rush to assume the responsibility of rescuing hostages? Why did she confide her psychological secrets to dangerous criminals at all costs? The revelation of this hidden motive becomes the center of the whole narrative structure.
At the beginning of the film, the whole story seems to revolve around the suspense of Dai's pursuit of Bill. With the development of the plot, the real narrative context is revealed. The trend of the plot is not to find out Bill's true identity, but to expose Dai's hidden inner motivation.
Hegel said that "all actions originate from the mind", and the general principle of action is from internal motivation to external behavior. On the contrary, The Silence of the Lambs used it to explore Lin Dai's hidden inner motive of pursuing murder.
Dai revealed his inner secret plot to Hannibal, and gradually led the audience's curiosity to the heroine's inner secret psychological motivation. The audience expects such an climax. When this scene appeared, Dai showed Hannibal's most secret and abundant activities of inner feelings. The hidden motivation of wearing is a magnet, which connects different details and material fragments.
In the film, Hannibal takes criminal clues as chips in exchange for Lin Dai's psychological secrets. Through four conversations, she gradually revealed that a lamb in Lin Dai was slaughtered in her childhood, and she longed to save herself by chasing criminals and saving hostages. This kind of self-salvation is the psychological motivation to support the heroine to save the hostages at all costs, and it is also the complex psychological reason for her attachment and resistance to Hannibal.
In the film, Dai's spiritual history and the pursuit of this secret history of the soul are reflected in the theme of this film-"Silent Lamb" and the redemption of the lamb. The film reveals four inner secrets, and combines action and theme to form a complete movement with the essence of drama.
Every script has its suspense. The whole suspense of this film is Lin Dai and Hannibal's dangerous liaisons, and her complicated feelings for Hannibal.
At the beginning of the film, when Dai was sent to the prison as bait by Gao Ji's instructor to meet Hannibal, he suddenly fell into a dangerous situation of being watched by ogres. Shi is not facing a trapped animal, but a dangerous psychologist, who may be controlled and hurt by criminals at any time.
After four psychological encounters, Dai's inner secret was gradually discovered, fell into an emotional crisis, and finally betrayed his superiors. Is the relationship between Dai and Hannibal a doctor and a patient, a beast and prey, or an opponent and partner? At the climax and end of the film, this suspense was finally solved, and the development of Dai's dangerous affair with Hannibal became the total suspense of the whole play.
In this film, the audience is concerned about not only the conflicts of external events, but also the conflicts of internal events, not only the fate of the characters, but also their personality performance and inner emotional activities in the face of fate. They are concerned about the dangerous psychological communication between Dai and Hannibal, the spiritual struggle between them and the deep revelation of the characters' hearts in the spiritual confrontation.
