  • Analyzing Michael Mann's "Manhunter" - the first adaptation of Thomas Harris' Hannibal Lector series of novels and discuss its use of expressionist filmmaking to bring his audience in tune with both the investigator and killer’s tortured minds, Manhunter’s use of implied, almost unspeakable horror, and the film’s use of sight and reflection, which both fuel and destroy inner demons.

    I just love Will and Molly's relationship in this movie. Oddly, it's one of the most functional marriages I've seen in film. She's strong, emphathetic and utterly supportive. Their relationship is based on respect. A nice change from the tortured dynamic you usually see in this type of movie. It highlights Will's essential goodness, despite the darkness he faces.

  • @jimmy2k4o

    This movie was so special to me because during the scene where Will watches the movies and cracks the case.......
    I did too. It was almost simultaneous.
    While Will is focusing on the pets, I started to try and figure it out because I felt that Michael Mann was teasing us with the answer.
    I thought to myself
    “maybe the killer seen these tapes too, took me another few seconds to think he must work at a film developers lab, how else did he see these.”
    And these thoughts happened just as Will’s eyes widened, the music fades up and he says “you’ve seen these films, haven’t you my man”
    It was a draw between me and Will lol
    I’m not saying I’m super smart, I’m saying that the smart guy is Michael Mann. what happened with me is exactly what he wanted the audience to experience.

      I prefer Manhunter over Silence of the Lambs. Edward Norton was such a wrong choice to play Graham in the Manhunter remake Red Dragon. He wasn't convincing nor believable at all and looked more like substitute teacher compared to how Peterson was for the role of Graham in Manhunter. No comparison when you think about it actually IMO. Peterson was the right choice for the role, hands down. For the remake Red Dragon they should have chosen Nicolas Cage to play Graham. Anybody but Norton.

    This movie is one of my favorites of all time, I got into Michael Mann after watching Thief and Manhunter in the same week, having seen Red Dragon beforehand but not being terribly impressed. After a thorough rewatching of Manhunter, I was enamored with the creepiness of the Tooth Fairy being a total mystery for the longest time combined with the moody dream-like nature that was familiar to me from Thief combined with how intense Petersen’s performance is, and the soundtrack always being the icing on the cake. Not only is it one of my favorite films of all time, but it elevated Michael Mann from the director that made cool movies like Heat and Thief to my favorite director of all time.
    Just for one correction, there is a small implication of Hannibal’s cannibalism in Manhunter where Graham mentions that Hannibal gave a recipe for potato chip dip when asked for the site of one of his victims.
    Also, I find it borderline hilarious that David Lynch turned down Manhunter after finding the story to be too violent, only to make Blue Velvet just as violent, if not more at times, and much more explicit. As much as I like David Lynch, I’m beyond glad Michael Mann landed this film.

    Thanks for doing this Matt. I’m a huge “Miami Vice” fan, so I was excited to see this when it came out in the 80s. Seeing it in the theater emphasized the importance and power of the score and the contrast of the lighting. Still, I think it’s Michael Mann’s most under-appreciated film. Until you see it. Then you love it. William Petersen, Brian Cox, and the late Dennis Farina are great. But Tom Noonan’s performance breaks your heart. Great little film.

This film is a marvel to watch, and I go back from time to time just to see the revelation. I guess that’s my primary intake too.

    One of my all time favorite films. It is head and shoulders above any of the Hannibal Lector films. To give an idea of the world that we lived in when it came out I was blown away by the technology that the FBI apparently possessed of faxing a photo of Dollarhyde’s driver’s license to the flying Lear jet. A piece of paper magically transported thru the air!!! As if the starship Enterprise was involved! Could such technology exist? I was lucky enough to see the version first that ends with Graham compelled by his inner demons ( As Lector says “ You want the smell? Smell yourself.”) to go “see” ( “It’s all about seeing with you, isn’t it?”) the family ( especially the woman with the “bloom”) that would have been “visited” next. Which a huge part of Graham that he struggles desperately to control and suppress wants to “use” (the people are just objects, they mean nothing”) take to satisfy his hunger. It is the only version that I watch. IT IS WORTH FINDING. One point that drives me nuts is that Michael Mann for some reason veers from the book by having the reporter “Lounds” place his hand on Graham’s shoulder when the photo is taken to be published in “The Tattler” to hopefully lure the killer into the FBI’s trap. In the book it is Graham who places his hand on Lound’s shoulder making the despised Lound’s his “pet”. Graham, by then had told us the killer “always kills the pet”. Which in the movie, as in the book leads to Lound’s horrific death at the hands of the monster. Did Graham brilliantly, diabolically set Lound’s up to be slaughtered? Films don’t get any better than this and the music and cinematography is so quintessential Michael Mann that the moment I saw it (Especially the blue tinted scene in the bedroom of Graham and Callie “we have it good don’t we? We have it more than good.” I was seeing Crockett and Tubbs and Miami Vice. Pure visual and auditory candy! Just brilliant. I searched for a long time to find the DVD version with the correct “I just had to see you” ending. Graham teetering on the precipice of insanity. As Graham asks Jack Crawford who sits staring incredulously at Will finally starting to realize how similar Graham’s mind is to that of his serial killer prey “Does this type of thinking frighten you?” I wondered, after this would Crawford ever feel comfortable being alone with Graham again?

    Without a doubt one of Mann's best works. I watched Manhunter, Silence of the Lambs, Red Dragon, Hannibal ( movie & NBC series ) & Manhunter is my favorite. the cast of Petersen, Farina, Noonan, Greist, Lang , Allen is outstanding. from Crawford's unsubtle coaxing to Will's strong yet perilous relationship with Molly & Kevin, to the dialogue between Graham & Lektor, his loathing for Lounds. I really loved Brian Cox's portrayal of Lektor. just so unassuming in a terrifying way. could be your Neighbor, Mail carrier, Bartender. I remember Graham's response when Crawford asked why he was going to see Lektor " To recover the Mindset " & Lektor telling Graham " How did you catch me?....because we're just alike " & even though Fiennes was excellent as Francis Dollarhyde in Red Dragon, Noonan's portrayal was truly frightening. Graham & Dollarhyde were both seeing the same videos & images in ways that were so diametrical. to step into the mind of a serial killer in order to stop him, her, they is a journey that you never quite return from & that piece of you is lost forever. it's a great movie that far too often plays out in everyday life & I have the greatest appreciation for the people who work in that profession & the impact it can have on your Mental Health, Psyche, Family, Health, but we need those professionals as much as I hate to admit it.

      No love for Meryl or Rollerball? I may be biased but along with A Clockwork Orange, Rollerball defines 70s Sci Fi movie making....

    What about the alternate cut? The one where Graham scares the next family that Dollarhyde chose for his next victims by visiting them in the evening just wantinf to "see them".

    Hannibal the series has way more in common with Manhunter than Silence of the lambs. The way the show uses POV is very Mann influenced.

    Saw this in the 80's when it came out. Have it on original DVD and Director's cut, (no spoiler, you got to see it) Still a favorite. FBI, going after the really, really bad guys. Read John Douglass books. He was a profiler with the FBI. This film is very similar to what they did in real life to capture true Evil in our society. This film will never outlive its purpose. Soundtrack is phenomenal. I hope you all like it as much as I do.

    Great. I have been meaning to watch this film for a long time. I feel that it does not get enough credit and is overlooked because of Silence of the Lambs I believe Cox is more terrifying as Hannibal than Hopkins but that's just my opinion.

    • @MattDraper

      Tayo Jones, I completely agree. Hopkins seemed to try too hard to creep out whomever he was speaking to in SOTL. Cox didn't go for those theatrics. He already knew whomever he was talking to was well aware of what a monster he was. He didn't need to amuse himself. That's just my personal opinion/ how I saw it. Manhunter is an excellent film with a great cast, great visuals and the music/soundtrack is another key factor that really impressed me with this movie.

    The scene when Dollarhyde parks in front of Reba's house, waiting to meet her, and his actual look of joy when he sees her come home, only to get twisted when he sees her being escorted by their co-worker to her door...fuck. He knew she took rides home occasionally from co-workers, or usually by bus, yet he still goes full-psycho...the music and the lighting on his face...I shit you not, I've seen this masterpiece movie a zillion times since 1986 and you can see Noonan transforming before your eyes as he looks on from his van. Tortured. Brilliant movie. Silence of The Lambs is ok but Manhunter is the best.

    • @YouTube-tied
      @YouTube-tied 3 года назад

      The brutal irony of Dollarhyde's psychopathy is that he yearned to be seen in his victim's eyes, yet the only person who ever embraced and showed affection for him, even for a short amount of time, was a blind woman.

    At the end of the Bantam ‘Hallowe’en’ movie paperback, there was an excerpt from Thomas Harris’s Red Dragon, which was exceptionally memorable. Then I found a copy of the novel (metallic red paperback cover) in a second-hand bookstore on Southsea pier, Portsmouth, UK. It is without doubt, one of the best, combining journalistic know-how with faultless research, and a horrible antagonist who is the product of a damaged childhood, a real page-turner. To discover there was a movie of it, and available on VHS, was one of the most syzygistic moments my life. It was with mounting disappointment however, that I watched the film, excellent though it is. It gives Dollarhyde no backstory and merely presents him as an aberration, fully formed.Brian Cox is excellent and the direction is faultlessly 1980s. The music is particularly well chosen.

    I'm amazed by how many people don't like this film. It's personally my favourite of the Mann films and the best of the Hannible lecter films. Direction, cinematography, music, acting everything is great about this movie. And all thought Tom Noonan's screen time is small he steals the show. Brian Cox's lecter is tje best of the lot too.

  • @pjtheory
    @pjtheory 2 года назад

    I saw this movie in college during its theatrical release and I was mesmerized by the performances and the films attention to detail. William Peterson was coming off the equally brilliant To Live And Die In LA, and his performance is light years ahead of Ed Norton's surprisingly uninspired take on the Will Graham character. Silence of the Lambs gets all the pub, but this film is simply better in every way, shape, and form. Brian Cox plays Lector as a living, breathing human being whereas Hopkins' Lector is a cartoon character living in a cartoonish correctional facility. In terms of menacing characters, there is no viable comparison between Buffalo Bill and the Tooth Fairy. Tom Noonan oozes danger on both an emotional and physical (e.g., Noonan is 6'7") level whereas the Buffalo Bill character is depicted as being odd, unstable, and reclusive. I'm not a big fan of Top 10 lists, but I would rank Manhunter as 1 of my Top 10 favorite films.

    You know. It’s really surprising that Red Dragon has Anthony Hopkins, Ralph Fiennes and Ed Norton but Manhunter I think is the better adaption of the book. I really don’t know why.

    • @SharpTac

      Because the script sucked mainly & Hopkins over did it. The only thing I liked about that movie was Ralph's performance

    3:52 I think the Brian Cox Manhunter Hannibal was a combination of both Hannibal and Garret Jacob Hobbs, a killer of college girls Will caught before Lecter in the book since Manhunter Lecter isn't a cannibal and killed college girls.They adapted Hobbs into the TV series as a man with an incestuous obsession with his daughter Abigail and he snapped when she was about to go to college so forced her to help him lure in girls who looked like her so he could kill them and convinced her he killed them so he wouldn't have to kill her, manipulating her into blaming herself for his murders to keep her with him. He also treated the bodies of the girls he killed like the dead deer him and Abigail hunted in his twisted belief that using all the body parts for different things meant it wasn't just murder.
