The Silence of the Lambs

The Silence of the Lambs was playing in the theater in 1991, when I even wasn’t born, but when I saw it this summer, its charm still made me addicted to it, like the people who saw it then. It was adapted from a novel, and the scarcely success of an adapted movie differed The Silence of the Lambs from the other movies.

 It was talking about a policewoman, Clarice Starling, who was offered to investigate a case which a serial killer slaughtered women and peeled their skins off. The case was so complicated that the superior tasked Starling with interviewing Hannibal Lecter, a former psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer. Lector agreed to give Starling hints, but the past of her would be the deal.

The movie was fantastic, no matter the videoshooting techniques or the background music. It also led me to think about how many victims there are in the society. The victims include not only women, but also the old living by themselves and kids who can’t afford to go to school.

Changeling

Today I am going to introduce a movie which touches the audience and keeps them in suspense well, like the one I introduced last time :P). It is “Changeling”. This movie was not so famous but actually it starred Angelina Jolie. She played the main role as a single mother in this movie. She initially lived harmoniously with her son. However, her son was missing one day, and the most astonishing part is that the police men claimed that they found her son but it turned out that there was only an unfamiliar boy calling her mom and acting like he was truly her son. The mother fought against the powerful but corrupted police who hoped to reverse their image by “finding the missing kid”.It is a much more soul-searching movie than the ones I introduced before. If you are in an awful mood and just want to see movies to relax, skip it, but if you need some touching to the depth of your heart, take a look on it.
