The presentation of details, every shot, and every seemingly redundant arrangement in the film always forces and pushes the audience to participate in the reasoning of the plot, and to some extent makes the characters in the story more three-dimensional. For example, in a scene in which Hannibal escaped, the police who came to the rescue asked his superior about the injured person, and pointed out that he was not familiar with the injured person, which created a rationale for Hannibal’s disguise not being discovered.

The ending of the original novel is adapted in "Hannibal", which is the icing on the cake and a very reasonable stroke to the whole story (only from a movie point of view, did not read the novel), Hannibal's self-defeating hand is his own to the heroine The best proof of his passionate affection (personally, it is not pure love, but an alternative obsession). And the heroine did not leave with him. Even though she was abandoned by the system, she still insisted on her own justice. This is the charm of her character, which makes people see Clarice running in the midsummer forest in "Hannibal" , is the same person as Clarice who ran in the woods in late autumn in "Silence of the Lambs". She is constantly changing as she grows, and she always has her own perseverance. Such persistence is one of the reasons why Hannibal is so fascinated.
