"Hannibal" should not be regarded as a pure thriller drama, in fact it should be included in the emotional film. The most connotative part of the film is the handling of the emotional relationship between Hannibal and Sterling, which actually reflects the inherent contradictions and struggles in Western culture or Western human nature. Compared with "Silence of the Lambs", the focus of "Hannibal" is not on the setting of suspense, but on the arrangement of the emotional relationship between Stalin and Hannibal, which is the most connotative part of the film. Other settings The characters are nothing but the spice in the emotional soup of these two missions. Therefore, to some extent, the film is more appropriate as an emotional film. Of course, if the film can be a little more elegant and less bloody, maybe "Hannibal" is more like a successful art film, not much, this is a wrong perception, if there is no blood, "Hannibal" ” will have no artistry at all. - Review of "Film Literature"
The film's composition, shot scheduling, and use of color (especially blues and crimsons) are top-notch, so gorgeous that it feels like a ready-made opera if the lines are changed to arias. Some viewers may find certain scenes horrifying or even disgusting, but if you look at it as humor, it's not creepy. Hannibal, a cannibal doctor who combines good and evil, has an extraordinary IQ and high-style artistic taste, and starts a witty pursuit with a federal agent who has the special ability to identify abnormal minds. Judging by the U.S. box office of "Hannibal," it also won't be the last. It can be seen that the "charm" of the devil cannot be underestimated, because its artistic presentation can purify people's evil thoughts from the negative side. ——Review of "Home Theater"
