1. Dr. Wright is very similar to the Joker, both precisely provoking more chaotic situations, but Hannibal's approach is more subtle and elegant. The most fundamental difference is that both the Joker and Hannibal understand the essential chaos of the world (or even absurd, meaningless), but Hannibal is creating his own order, through the dripping human calculation, to become his place. The "God" of the world, and his attempt seems to have a kind of "negative existentialism" in the opposite direction. It is precisely because he shows more of his miraculous calculations in the play, rather than cruelty, and even magnifies the more emotional aspects of Hannibal as a person that the movie does not show. This may also be one of the reasons that Max's new version of Hannibal is dangerous and less oppressive than Hopkins - but who's to say that's a disadvantage? (About the similarities between Joker and Hannibal, this is just a family story)
2. In this play, Cass is addicted to Biao's acting skills, but the screenwriter is even more admirable. The first episode has a highly symbolic construction of character relationships. The last scene passes through Abigail's hospital bed. Hannibal is placed in the dark, will is placed in the light, and the core conflict throughout the season comes out all at once. In the last episode, the conflict is pulled back in a complex manner, becoming Hannibal and Jack on the left and right. Sitting in front of Will's bed that has collapsed... The whole structure is like a spindle, so ingenious, can't help but marvel. Of course, the show's clear line in each episode - the motivational setting of the single-episode murderer is still exaggerated and superficial in the thriller type, but I really can't think of how to do it better.
3. The entire creative team is extremely dedicated to all aspects of the preparations for the episode, which is worth learning, not to mention the tribute to the original work and the classic movie version. The two met at the end of the first season and instantly recalled "The Silent". The Lambs, Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins' unforgettable meeting.
4. I don't regret watching this drama after so many years. What I saw before is definitely not as much as what I see now.
