Ray Liotta dies: the day the actor appeared in one of Hollywood’s most shocking scenes

There is no doubt that Ray Liotta, who died while filming a film in the Dominican Republic this Thursday, left an impressive scene throughout his massive and successful filmography. One of them, The scariest of his careerFrom the mandate Hannibal.

Hannibal-not the Silence of the Lambs, not the Red Dragon-is almost out of the canon. Anthony Hopkins’s Lecter is not a movie called “Hannibal”, meaning Jonathan Demme, Jodie Foster, 1991, Oscar-rich.

The movie, which premiered Ridley Scott in 2001, is hardly memorable, but one of its last scenes gained “cult scene” status over time (famous websites). I didn’t celebrate Hannibal’s 20 years, but “Hannibal’s Ray Scene”).

The part where the Riotta character is alive and “manipulated”-and this is definitely- Of the most annoying things American industrial films have offered in the first decade of the 21st century..

Much of the success of the scene is due to Ray’s compelling historical performance. Another important point is Scott’s boldness to insert a scene as powerful and completely “out of context” as this scene into a movie that should be disruptive to box office revenue. is.

Before explaining what is happening, there are some explanations. The Hannibal 2001 event is set 10 years after The Silence of the Lambs. Julianne Moore is Claris, not Jodie Foster. Lector is not the only villain. There is also his survivor, Mason Burger, who is using Claris for revenge.

The scene that summons us happens towards the end of the story..Among them are Lecter, Clarice, and Paul KrendlerA Justice Ministry employee working closely with Burger in the search for Hannibal.

Everything seems to be going well. Lector is calm and cooking something, and Claris arrives to meet him with an incredible look. Sitting at the Hannibal table with a slightly boyish attitude and a cap with the initials “PK” is the Riotta character Clendra.

Clendra behaves strangely, and one of the audience doesn’t quite understand why. But when Hannibal gives the policeman a drink through a tube and takes off his hat, the question is quickly resolved. Below, in an extreme close-up, Klendra cracked his brain..

If you have any questions, Hannibal removes it like a sugar jar lid and plays with the character’s brain as the scene flows. It will be Klendra’s own dinner..

The situation is at least Discomfort.. But it works because it’s completely great. The style Scott works on throughout the film doesn’t fit into this stupid, contradictory and entertaining moment. At the same time, there is elegance, disgust, and impression. The effect is that if you focus on the story, it can quickly become misguided.

In a 2019 GQ interview, Riotta, who allegedly had a ping-pong ball in his head, revealed details of the day’s shoot. For example, he ate “thick chicken” with a crunchy texture, and when he saw the horrifying sight, he said, “What a mess, I hate it.”
