Re: Hannibal

I found myself enjoying the movie more than I thought I would, and certainly more than the critics. I too liked the opera scene: What is that opera anyway? I identified the protagonist in Manhunter/Red Dragon (out on DVD now) as Will and in SOTL as Clarice, but in "Hannibal" the protagonist is Hannibal. An important element in the book are the scenes of Hannibal's childhood and the horrors of his sister at the hands of the Nazi occupiers, which are not in the movie. I hold the position that Hannibal's younger sister is the equivalent of Clarice's Lambs and the source of psychic power for both Hannibal and Clarice, respectively. Hannibal won't injure Clarice because she represents his sister; he will injure those that would injure her and does: Krendler is just another form of a Nazi beast. Well, that's Jim's $0.02. Thanks for bringing up the topic.
