When Dancla Lizzy told Hannibal his deepest fear, he mentioned the wailing of lambs before they were slaughtered at night before being sent to an orphanage. After catching Buffalo Bill, clarice finally got a good sleep, because the whine of the lamb that had been haunting him finally stopped and became "the silence of the lamb".
"We are like lambs on the grassland, playing in front of butchers and becoming their prey one by one. Just like this, in peaceful days, we don't know the tragic fate waiting for us: disease, persecution, poverty, disability, blindness, madness and death. It symbolizes that a person is locked in a cage of ignorance and fate and will be picked away by the devil at any time; Like those lambs slaughtered by butchers in the pasture at any time. Lamb refers to lamb, which is also a metaphor for childhood in life.
After reading it, I feel that the so-called lamb is worthy of all the people in the play. In the face of human suffering and indignation, the first choice of free life is silence, but the latter begins to face it with different attitudes towards life. It is through this allusion that the film tells the audience that the lamb not only implies a single person, but everyone who lives in the real society, and behind that silence, there may be different fears and crises that belong to each of us!
