The Silence of the Lambs (1991) vs. Shaun the Sheep (2015)
The little boy, although injured and covered in blood, smiling and said, "This is a test from Allah , Allah wants to forgive our sins because He loves us, we will be cleansed and go to heaven." It teaches us an important lesson. š
when I'm old and wrinkled and my skin doesn't hold to the bone my breasts sag and the mind does not work as it once did
i'll hear my mother calling. she'll call me in between the fog through the mist covering my eyes and i'll hear with a clarity long gone.
the staff in my hand will guide my way ā limping, though the opposite image of the fallen king ā to a rather dignifying destiny
I'll have lived long enough to see me coming home to the call of my mother to become again the earth that once made me.
I don't like it about Beverly either and Miriam Lass is actually Clarice too. And I hate the fact that the show make Hannibal like unstoppable, he got caught only because he let the police catch him because Will reject him. It's felt abdurd to me. They show us that police in there is stupid.
And I like the book one it's show that Will is smart enough to catch Hannibal despite him got stabbed. Both of them actually.
Itās a well worn trope at this point: a woman, her gun, and the killer. Thereās nothing wrong with that, really - but how a thing is done matters as much as what is done.
So letās compare and contrast. Beverlyās discovery of Hannibalās nightmare basement is a clear homage to Clarice Starling in Silence of the Lambs.Ā But there are a few important differences.
I think people forget that the situation in Silence of the LambsĀ was out of Starlingās control. She didnāt run in half-cocked trying to cowboy her way into a serial killerās den - she shows up to ask him routine questions and he runs off. Her choices make sense in context. She has to pursue him, both as an officer of the law and because she knows the clock is ticking on Catherine Martinās life. So she does, and she emerges a triumphant hero. She descends into hell and walks right back out again.Ā
On Hannibal, however, Beverly Katz is not behaving in a way that makes sense. Katz - who has been shown to be both brilliant and level-headed - goes to a suspected serial killerās house in the middle of the night, by herself, and breaks in. She doesnāt tell anyone where sheās going. She dies trying to get evidence that she couldnāt even use because it was obtained illegally.Ā
Itās absurd. Are we really to believe that rational, calm Beverly Katz would behave like this? It disrespects both the intelligence of the character and of the audience.Ā
The saddest thing is that Katz could have easily been HannibalāsĀ Clarice Starling. She was the perfect candidate to take Hannibal Lecter down - uninvolved in his bullshit, clear-eyed, and formidable. Instead her arc has been cut off right as it was getting good. She was thrown away for a cheap shock that wasnāt actually a shock at all. What a waste.
Wait, are we a small version of universe? I mean our eyes look like nebula.

āYou don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be greatā - Zig Ziglar
Ayat itu singkat, hanya satu hembusan napas saja untuk membacanya; tapi maknanya dalam dan meringkas banyak hal, "Maka hendaklah manusia itu memperhatikan makanannya." (QS 80:24)
Pernah mentadabburi bagaimana jauhnya proses makanan itu hingga sampai di hadapan kita?
Ikan yang beberapa hari lalu masih berenang-renang di lautan lepas, sayuran yang sebelumnya masih menyatu di kebun ranum entah pegunungan mana.
Dan itu semua, sampai ke hadapan kita dan siap disantap. Prosesnya, jalannya, lika-liku rezeki itu hingga sampai pada kita; memesona.
Ibnu Katsir menguraikan dengan tadabbur yang mendalam, dalam makanan itu, "ada bukti: Allah Mahakuasa menumbuhkan tanaman dari tanah yang hitam, maka Dia pun Mahakuasa membangkitkan jasad yang tadinya telah jadi tanah usang dan debu yang berserakan"
masyaAllah...
Suatu hari Rasul pernah bertanya pada seorang sahabat, Adh Dhahhak bin Sufyan namanya, "wahai Dhahhak, apa yang suka kau makan?"
"Aku suka daging dan susu", jawab sahabat itu. Rasul bertanya lagi, "lalu, pada akhirnya makanan itu jadi apa?"
"Ia, akan jadi sesuatu yang engkau pun telah tahu, wahai Rasul...", Jawab Dhahhak dengan sopan.
Ini tanya jawab tentang makanan. Tapi uraian Rasul begitu dalam setelahnya, "Sesungguhnya, Allah menggambarkan dunia ini adalah seperti apa yang keluar dari tubuh Bani Adam..."
Manisnya, asinnya, pahitnya, getirnya; pada akhirnya akan berakhir jadi "sesuatu yang engkau pun tahu."
Dunia pun begitu, kan? Kayanya, kurangnya, tinggi kedudukannya, mapan dan bangkrutnya, kuat dan lemahnya: semua berakhir di liang lahat.
