百年50部英文燒腦電影賞析:[15]Hannibal 漢尼拔

Seven years after tracking down serial killer Jame Gumb, FBI Special Agent Clarice Starling(Julianne Moore)is unjustly blamed for a bungled drug raid. Starling and her connection to Hannibal Lecter(Anthony Hopkins)come to the attention of Lecter's only surviving victim, Mason Verger(Gary Oldman), a wealthy child molester whom Lecter left horribly disfigured and paralyzed after having been assigned as Verger's court-appointed therapist.

Verger uses his immense wealth and political influence to have Starling reassigned to Lecter's case and meets with her in his mansion. Verger is pursuing an elaborate scheme to capture, torture and kill Lecter, and hopes Starling's involvement will draw him out. Indeed, Lecter sends her a taunting letter after learning of her public disgrace. Though the letter contains no clue to Lecter's whereabouts, Starling detects a strange fragrance that a perfume expert later identifies as a bespoke skin cream whose ingredients are only available to a few shops in the world. She contacts the police departments of the cities where the shops are located, requesting surveillance tapes. One of the cities is Florence, Italy, where Chief Inspector Rinaldo Pazzi(Giancarlo Giannini)is investigating the disappearance of a library curator. Pazzi questions Lecter, who is masquerading as “Dr. Fell”, the assistant curator and now caretaker of the library.

Upon recognizing Dr. Fell in the surveillance tape, Pazzi accesses the FBI's ViCAP database of wanted fugitives. He learns of Verger's US$3 million reward to anyone turning Lecter over to him rather than to the FBI, Lured by Verger's bounty, Pazzi ignores Starling's warnings against trying to capture Lecter alone. He recruits a pickpocket to obtain a fingerprint of Lecter to show as proof of his whereabouts and thus collect the reward The pickpocket is mortally wounded by Lecter, but manages to get the print and provides them to Pazzi, who in turn contacts Verger. Lecter then baits Pazzi into an isolated room of the library, ties him up with electrical cords, and hangs and disembowels him, before escaping back to the United States.

Verger bribes Justice Department official Paul Krendler(Ray Uotta)to accuse Starling of withholding a note from Lecter, leading to her suspension. Lecter lures Starling to Union Station but Verger's men, who have followed Starling, capture Lecter and transport him to Verger. When her superiors refuse to act, Starling, on her own initiative, infiltrates Verger's estate. Verger means to have Lecter eaten alive by a herd of wild boars bred specifically for this purpose. Starling intervenes to free Lecter but is herself wounded, and Lecter rescues her from the voracious animals. Verger furiously orders his private physician Cordell(?eljko Ivanek)to shoot Lecter, but instead Lecter persuades Cordell to throw his hated employer into the pen, whers he is eaten alive by the boars.

Lecter takes a sedated Starling to Krendler's secluded lake house and treats her wounds. When Krendler arrives for the Fourth of July break, he is subdued and drugged by Lecter. Starling, disoriented by morphine and dressed in a slinky black velvet cocktail dress, wakes to find Lecter cooking and Krendler in a wheelchair seated at the table set for an elegant dinner. Weakened by the drugs, she looks on in confusion and horror as Lecter removes the top of Krendler's skull, cuts out part of his prefrontal cortex, sautees it and feeds Krendler his own brain before finally killing him.

After the meal, Starling tries to attack Lecter but is quickly overpowered. She manages to handcuff his wrist to hers, and with police incoming to the residence, Lecter brandishes a meat cleaver and severs his left hand to escape. Lecter is later seen on a flight with boxed lunch on his pull-down table. As he prepares to eat his meal, including a small cooked portion of what is assumed to be Krendler's brain, a young boy seated next to him asks to try some of his food. Lecter lets the boy eat some of his lunch, telling him that “it is important... always to try new things.”

追查連環(huán)殺手詹姆·甘姆七年后，F(xiàn)BI高級特工克拉里斯·斯坦林(朱麗安·摩爾飾)被不公正地指責(zé)為是她搞砸了掃毒行動。斯坦林和漢尼拔·萊克特(安東尼·霍普金斯飾)的聯(lián)系引起了馬森·威爾格(加里·奧德曼飾)的注意。他是漢尼拔犯罪的少數(shù)幸存者，一個富有的戀童癖者，在被任命為威爾格的法庭指定的心理醫(yī)生后，漢尼拔造成了他的嚴(yán)重毀容和癱瘓。

威爾格利用他的巨大財(cái)富和政治影響力使斯坦林被重新分配到負(fù)責(zé)萊克特的案子，并和她在他的住所見面。威爾格正在進(jìn)行精心的謀劃，以捕獲、折磨并殺死萊克特，并希望斯坦林的參與能把萊克特引出來。事實(shí)上，在她名譽(yù)掃地之后，萊克特給她寄了一封嘲諷的信。雖然這封信沒有萊克特下落的線索，但斯坦林卻從中發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種奇怪的香味。香料專家后來鑒定為一種定制的護(hù)膚霜，其成分僅屬于世界上少有的幾家店鋪。她聯(lián)系了店鋪所屬城市的轄區(qū)警察，索要監(jiān)控錄像。其中一個城市是意大利的佛羅倫薩，總探長里那爾多·帕茲(吉安卡羅·吉安尼尼飾)正在調(diào)查圖書館館長的失蹤案。帕茲懷疑這是偽裝成費(fèi)爾博士——圖書館助理館長的萊克特干的，現(xiàn)在他接管了圖書館。

帕茲認(rèn)出了監(jiān)控錄像中的費(fèi)爾博士，訪問了FBI通緝的暴行逮捕辦的逃亡者數(shù)據(jù)庫。他了解到威爾格懸賞300萬美元，作為把萊克特交給他而不是FBI的酬金。受到威爾格賞金的引誘，帕茲無視斯坦林讓其不要獨(dú)自抓捕萊克特的警告。他雇用了一個扒手，以獲取萊克特的指紋，證明他的下落，從而贏得獎金。扒手受到了萊克特的致命傷害，但還是設(shè)法獲取了指紋，并把他們交給了帕茲，帕茲繼而聯(lián)系威爾格。萊克特逃回美國前，把帕茲引誘到圖書館的一個獨(dú)立房間，用電源線把他捆住，吊起來，掏出了他的腸子。

威爾格賄賂司法部官員保爾·克倫德勒(雷·里奧塔飾)，指責(zé)斯坦林隱瞞了萊克特的紙條，導(dǎo)致她的停職。萊克特引誘斯坦林來到聯(lián)合車站，但威爾格的人跟蹤斯坦林，抓住了萊克特，把他交給了威爾格。斯坦林的上級拒絕采取行動，她自發(fā)襲擊了威爾格的房子。威爾格想讓萊克特被一群他為此目的專門飼養(yǎng)的野豬生吃。斯坦林干預(yù)，萊克特重獲自由，但她自己卻受了傷。萊克特從貪婪的動物那里救下她。威爾格惱怒地命令他的私人醫(yī)生考德爾(扎爾科·伊萬尼克飾)向萊克特開槍。但萊克特成功地勸說考德爾把他憎恨的雇主扔下了圍欄，威爾格被野豬吃掉了。

萊克特帶著平靜的斯坦林來到了克倫德勒隱蔽的湖邊小屋為她療傷。7月4日天亮的時候克倫德勒來了，他被萊克特制服并下了藥。斯坦林被嗎啡弄得迷迷糊糊，穿著時髦的黑色天鵝絨禮服，醒過來發(fā)現(xiàn)萊克特在做飯，克倫德勒坐在輪椅里，靠近一張預(yù)備了優(yōu)雅晚餐的桌子。藥物作用使她很虛弱，她驚恐地看到萊克特把克倫德勒的頭骨頂部剃除，切下了克倫德勒前額皮質(zhì)的一部分。在最后殺死他之前，萊克特蘸了調(diào)料，喂克倫德勒吃下了他自己的大腦。

飯后，斯坦林試圖攻擊萊克特，但很快就被制服了。她設(shè)法把他的手腕和她銬在一起。警方進(jìn)入了這所住宅，萊克特?fù)]舞菜刀，犧牲了他的左手逃脫。之后的畫面是萊克特在飛機(jī)上拉開的小桌上吃盒裝午餐。午餐有一部分看上去應(yīng)該是由克倫德勒的大腦烹制而成。在他準(zhǔn)備吃飯時，坐在他旁邊的一個小男孩請求嘗嘗他的食物。萊克特讓孩子吃了一些他的午餐，告訴他“不斷嘗試新事物……很重要。”
