Nellie 2022-01-27 08:03:50

The plot is very compact, the lines are strong, and no line is in vain

The protagonists all appear in the first episode, and they will be introduced in the order of appearance.

1. Will

2. Captain Jack

3. Dr. Bloom

4. Dr. Hannibal

5. Trail Reporter Lowes

Hannibal's character is completely fashion and food appreciation

Variety of suits:

Look at low-key luxury color matching
Looking tough and luxurious
Look fashionable and luxurious

Tie Forever Printed Luxury Symbol

Color matching is not vulgar to show taste

One word for silk shirts: expensive!

Two words for piles of suits: rich!

few leisure moments
Comparison with Jack

Hannibal's clothes must have a light color, and he loves red printed ties. He will wear many elegant colors such as blue and red.

Wearing a blue outfit - wearing a blue satin shirt, a dark blue blazer and a green-brown checked woolen coat
Wear in red - white plaid shirt, dark red sports jacket, yellow-brown plaid woolen coat

Hannibal is very particular about what he wears on what occasion, taking off his coat when cooking and wearing a suit jacket when he eats. Take off your windbreaker when you enter the door and put it on when you go out.

Take off trench coat indoors
Wear a trench coat outdoors

If you've ever seen a Bunuel movie, you'll find elegant bourgeois men in jackets unbuttoning and unbuttoning their jackets all the time. Hannibal's dress is very aristocratic.

Hannibal's first appearance was at his home/clinic

Clear identity: a psychiatrist

Note that the patient received at this time reappeared later, and none of the scenes were in vain

Then Jack appeared, and a dialogue showed Hannibal's humor and emotional intelligence to the fullest.

Jack walked in and looked around the room. In fact, he also introduced Hannibal's "taste" to the audience: many books are decorated with classical and simple decoration. The decorative paintings on the walls are the expression of the aesthetics of ancient Greece.

Jack glanced at the pencil drawing on his desk, a few words of dialogue, and the character was established: meticulous, meticulous, classical art taste, sharpening the pencil with a scalpel to explain his hidden identity - a former surgeon, Hannibal replied The painting is of a boarding school in Paris - implying its European life background and showing its extraordinary memory

Will's opening is interesting

The first episode revealed his identity in the first three minutes: an adult male with special sentience

Then the lecture scene, Jack comes in, there is a dialogue, and a figure stands up: a socially impaired, very introverted figure who refuses to help

Adopting a stray dog ​​after attending school, the image is full again: a sympathetic, gentle and kind image

In less than 20 minutes, the character design is plump and three-dimensional, and it is not awesome! Compact is not compact!

Will is more casual clothing

Wear a plaid shirt, a khaki pants, and a casual tie in class
Wear a plaid army green overalls jacket and khakis when not in class

Will's clothes are always those century-old plaid shirts, century-old jackets, century-old khaki pants

wrought iron frock coat watery faded shirt

Wear grey and white t-shirts at home

And Hannibal seems to be walking in a fashion show, and occasionally kills people while shooting fashion blockbusters and high-end cooking, playing with art

Abigail doesn't have much drama in the first season

And the first appearance of Abigail, who has increased in appearances in the second and third seasons, is like this:

As Will said: Simple and beautiful girl

The scene is only three seconds long, and it's reused once, but the editing is so gimmicky that viewers usually don't notice

At the end of the first episode, a hair, leads the trail reporter, the first appearance is very interesting: starting from the feet, moving up slowly, seeing her red curls and naked body, looking at the computer, posting photos on the website

Without saying a word, the image was erected at once: the image of a bohemian, unscrupulous, beautiful, frivolous, immoral trail reporter

Look at her red-clothed eyes
fearless

This reminds me of a Hollywood movie "Nightcrawler"

It is about a trail reporter with psychopathic traits (no empathy, will lie, use others to achieve their own goals), very charming, illegally film crime scenes, cheat and use partners, and hook up with female bosses to achieve their goals

Many people don't know much about "psychopath" (psychopathy) sometimes translated as psychopath

typical psychopath

People with psychopathic traits lie naturally, are socially attractive, irresponsible, guilt-free, feel manipulative, and use others for their own ends.

Of course, Louze is nothing compared to Hannibal.

"Nightcrawler" took the length of a movie to create such a character, "Hannibal" took only a few minutes to create such a character

In the first episode of the first season, it took 40 minutes to establish 5 complete images, which is awesome! Compact is not compact!
