I don't want to describe him as elegant

After watching "Red Dragon", I want to say that I really don't want to describe him with elegance, especially when he uses human flesh as his ingredients and entertains everyone.
However, I have to use this word to describe him. Because, apart from this word, I can't think of anything else. Evil? No, he's not like the villainous characters I've seen before. This is an excellent psychiatrist, well educated, and should have high attainments in medicine, psychology and even many humanities fields - in "Hannibal", he became a European family with many collections of the Renaissance Librarian of the Great Books.
Remember Young Hannibal? Its English name is actually Hannibal Rising. What kind of character would we use to describe him as rising? Noble, great hero? It's mentioned more than once throughout the series: Hannibal doesn't hurt people who are polite to him, he just hates people who are rude.
I always think of Leo, the not-so-cold killer who insisted on not killing women and children. At the end of "This Killer Isn't Too Cold", Leo changed the policeman's clothes and tried to get out, but he didn't do it. However, Hannibal helped him complete the unfinished business. An aristocratic hero, a heroic aristocrat, who should this be evaluated? I've never seen him hurt the family of the person he hurts, and at the end of "Hannibal" he escapes at the cost of losing a hand - because he's reluctant to cut off Clarice's hand .
Although the sequence of events is not the same as the filming sequence of the film, in any case, I think "Young Hannibal" should be the last to watch, this one is my favorite. Unfortunately, the last thing I watched was "Red Dragon", and Hannibal's appearance in "Red Dragon" was not as much as I imagined, and it always gave me a feeling that I wasn't enjoying myself enough. But young Hannibal was not like that. Not to mention that the actor's seductive appearance is enough for people to appreciate, nor to the exotic feeling brought by Mrs. Zi. That kind of traumatic reminiscence that goes deep into childhood really has a close connection with Freud's theory. Ogres are terrible, but ogres are still people, so the most terrible thing is actually people. Is Hannibal a psychopath? Of course he was, but he was also a psychoanalytic psychologist. Isn't it scary for a psychiatrist, especially a psychiatrist who can hypnotize and control people's consciousness?
Is Teen Hannibal's Theme About Revenge? Before writing this review, I thought yes. I thought of a movie I saw before - unfortunately can't remember the name. It probably means that the male protagonist was imprisoned in a remote prison for some reason, but was used for experiments, injected with various drugs, and then his body mutated and became extremely powerful. After escaping from prison in the fire, he gradually began his own revenge plan. He found the people who participated in the experiment one by one and sent them to see God... This is similar to the process of the young Hannibal killing the soldiers who killed his sister in the war one by one!
But just now, I remembered the plot of the young Hannibal who used a similar veritase agent on himself to find the truth: in fact, Hannibal also ate the flesh of his own sister to survive in the snowstorm. "The 8-year-old Hannibal died long before he fell on the snow and was picked up by us." Hannibal, who survived on the flesh of his relatives, is no longer Hannibal...
everything Everything is just redemption. This may be inseparable from the original sin in Western religions.
Whether human nature is inherently evil or human nature is inherently good is always a classic question...

    Originally, I deliberately watched this in order to complete the four series of Hannibal (after all, it is not the starring of the old Hopkins, I always worry that it is a prequel made for commercial interests). As a result, I was amazed by the male protagonist, not to mention the appearance, the expression of the skin and the flesh but the depressed eyes, often saw the young Professor Hannibal in a trance. The corners of Wei Wei's lips seem to be arrogant and painful, forbearance to be wanton—how can the expression and charm be so accurate! ! The overall plot completion is very good, but I personally don't like Mrs. Zi's part, the far-fetched emotional drama. It's not because of prejudice against Orientals, even if I arrange for a blond aunt, I will refuse!

    Ordinary people may lose control of their minds if they encounter such contradictory shocks. However, Hannibal's tenacity and integrity protected his spiritual power. To a certain extent, he calmly tolerated and accepted his desire for human flesh, and also calmly accepted his desire to kill and raised everything to the level of sacred sacrifice, transformation and continuation of life forms. He is no longer contradictory in his heart, and has become a monster living in a "different dimension" in a way of perfect evolution and integration.

Hannibal Rising quotes

  • Hannibal Lecter: [to a photo of his parents] Father, mother. I'm the youngest student they've ever admitted into medical school. It's a work scholarship. I think you would be pleased. Death duties on my uncle's estate has finally forced the sale of the château. Lady Murasaki will leave for Paris with me now that her residency is under threat. This work scholarship means I must spend much of my spare time preparing bodies for the anatomy class. My studies are fascinating and absorb me completely. Yet I still find myself thinking about my sister, and the men who took her.

  • Inspector Popil: [looks at Hannibal's polygraph tape] It's vanilla. He reacts to nothing. It's monstrous.
