It's movie day yet again at BEL class today. Since no one could stand learning with an empty stomach and it's Ramadhan, our lecturer gave us a treat; The Sound of Music! No, wait... it seems that her external DVD drive could not read the darn DVD! So she had a replacement, but it's not really Ramadhan-friendly.
Yeah, it's this film. I really don't have a darn clue that this is gonna be a gruesome film, since the lecturer dubbed this as a 'psychogical thriller' and we have to 'listen to whatever they have to say'. But at the earlier point of the movie, one of the character's name was mentioned; and it's Hannibal Lecter, the most badass psychiatrist/cannibal/serial killer ever! I know it's gonna be awesomely grotesque!
But instead of him doing the dirty work, he acts more of a mentor for the main character who needs his wisdom and information to track down 'Buffalo Bill', a serial killer whose signature style would be peeling of skins of his female victims and 'suit himself up' with those, since he wanna be a girl so bad, but can't due to several reasons.
You know what sucks? I was so sleepy, my head got dragged down onto the swinging table during LOTS of selective scenes, and I think I missed most of the sickest ones! HOW could I sleep through all of that, damn it?! Well, there were a few revolting scenes on the aftermath of Buffalo Bill's bidding, but I really wanna see him doing it in action! Oh yeah, Dr. Hannibal Lecter himself too did a murder scene, but again; it's what happened after that was what I saw instead of his 'craftsmanship' procedure! Another sucky fact would be... I managed to wake up fresh, only to see THIS scene.
=___="
But nonetheless, the film was awesome in its own twisted way. Maybe someday I'll give the Hannibal Lecter series a go. But note this, dear lecturer. Find a better, friendlier replacement film next time.
This my friends, is what I call one of the tests that God is throwing at the Muslims in the holy month of Ramadhan al-Mubarak, apart from wrapping up your stomach real tight and unwrap them again when it's break fasting time. Be prepared for more!
