Review of Hannibal (2001) by Tyrant719 — 28 Aug 2021
This movie is for simpletons who didn’t quite understand what Silence of the Lambs was all about and just thought that Hannibal guy was “bad ass”. Jodie Foster knew exactly why she didn’t want to be apart of this mess.
The Hannibal character is meant to represent what serial killers idealize themselves to be, while Buffalo Bull represented the unorganized, imperfect way serial killers actually operate and, eventually, get caught.
It’s not a beautiful opera, it’s a chaotic mess. The Hannibal character behind bars was perfect in exemplifying that. Trying to make a backstory for this plot device of a character does nothing but weaken his purpose.
Now he has to become superhuman in order to actualize the idealized manner of his murders instead of it just being a puzzling mystery that the audience is meant to wonder about.
