Left in the final suspense---Written before the last episode of the first season

Different from fast food dramas, HANNIBAL's plot unfolds slowly, dull and gloomy, so that most of the drama reviews in the first six episodes are ridiculed around the "basic feelings". The seemingly unrelated cases, and even the violent aesthetics expected by the heavy-handed audience, are displayed quite restrained, and only occasionally take some clips to hang the audience's appetite while leaving a lot of suspense to be solved. The most are angel wings. How could the murderer cut his back and hang him? There is no answer. Almost everyone points this suspicion to the doctor, but has never obtained a real answer...

In my opinion, all the foreshadowing is worthwhile. The seventh episode is like the first spark on the fuse woven by the first six episodes. Hannibal's characteristics that are completely different from those of criminals are easily recognized and realized through this episode. That complex personality makes people intellectually repulsive but emotionally deeply attracted: elegant and erudite but inherently cruel, amiable and kind but actually solitary and cruel. Compared with those mental illnesses in the pure sense, perversion has opened the gap without objection, beyond the scope of general cognition. Whether for criminals or normal people, he is more like a god, preying on human beings as low-level animals at any time, during which he feels the power

. Love", in my opinion, Will is more like his favorite toy that he got at a certain time. The characteristics of accurately reconstructing the criminal's psychology and action trajectory that he manifested when he solved the case, in the doctor's opinion, has the plasticity of mental mutation. He began to study, manipulate, and mutagenize, and the final stage should be to destroy him (it ). Watching Will go from rejecting him to approaching him step by step, dancing to his fingertips, and telling him. I can almost feel the smugness and satisfaction of the Doctor off-screen—yes, contentment. What's more satisfying than watching a toy being manipulated by oneself? ! Just like you and I can freely manipulate our toys or pets to obey our commands.

Since the seventh episode, this spark has been out of control. The writers and directors can't wait to show the strong flavors that they have tried their best to hide, just like the main dish after the appetizer. The layers are dizzying. I guess the director should be very excited because of this, and the sensory stimulation that the audience was forced to suppress was detonated in this episode. When I saw Chilton was gutted by Gideon and let him hold his internal organs alive, I have to say that I was stimulated with adrenaline, and the internal organs seemed to be twisted together. It's an exciting thing for me. Although Gideon ended up dying unremarkably under Will, who was masterfully instigated by Hannibal. This is Will's second murder.

The series deliberately eschews the bloody depiction of the Doctor's murder, but spends a lot of space highlighting his use of removed guts to quietly and elegantly prepare meals in a modern kitchen setting with classical music as the background, and use these to entertain "guests" . This is not on the same level as the bloody killings of other psychopaths at all. The Doctor is so different from a group of psychopaths, and no one will and will not define him with psychosis in general. This is really interesting!

Episode 13 will be the finale of the first season, I can't wait, I wonder if Abigail will die in this season? Will she end up so easily as another experimental product that is different from Will, the Doctor? Even though the answer was almost obvious in episode 12, I couldn't help but expect at least some extra-mainline sparks to shine through, and it's not a waste of time for her to make it through so many episodes.

Writing before episode 13, I was desperate to know, will the Doctor be surfaced in the first season? On the one hand I hope he gets caught like the dust has settled, but on the other hand I hope he's still doing Hannibal lurking like this, ah~~ I seem to be getting schizophrenic too. And where will Will go? Completely ruined as the original was written, or did the writers want to change the trajectory of his life for him? Seeing the spoiler for him pointing a gun at the Doctor, I'm conflicted about him too!

I really don't want to compare the drama version with the film version. The script is different and the medium is different. The film version is condensed due to the requirement of time. Hopkins as the first performer is undeniably classic. But the drama version has more space both horizontally and vertically to narrate the story slowly. MDS is completely arresting in both appearance and acting skills, and I can hardly imagine watching Hopkins in detail in 13 episodes, and even chasing the next one or even the next two, and the next three 13 episodes. In the era of male sex, it is undeniable that MDS can do it. He has the gloomy temperament that is unique to the Nordics, and the burly figure, all of which are so charming! Many people felt that he looked weird at first, but later became more and more inextricably immersed in his unique charm. His consummate acting skills are undeniable, and the blessing of appearance is so indispensable in the long pursuit of drama.

I think the wait for the second season is going to be very hard after the 13th episode that hangs in my heart. The writers and directors are really bad-hearted. I heard that the second season will wait until the summer of 2014, which will be a full year of waiting... This makes me feel bad!
