I really wished that they never cancelled the TV show. Hannibal and Will Graham were two fascinating characters played so well by Mads and Hugh. What makes me really sad was that Hannibal never got any mainstream recognition, what a shame...
As a fan of Thomas Harris' novels since 1983 (and shippin' Hannibal and Will Graham for just as long lol), I can honestly say Mads is *the* definitive Hannibal Lecter and Hugh is *the* definitive Will Graham...and Bryan Fuller understood the characters and the source material better than anyone who has ever attempted to adapt the novels. Yes, that means I wasn't really a fan of the film adaptions. Manhunter and Hannibal Rising were the best film adaptions only because of the performance of the lead actors were damn near perfect (if only the film around them were). For Manhunter, William L Peterson's performance as Will Graham and Hugh's performance as Will Graham are very similar and Gaspard Ulliel's performance as young Hannibal paired with Mads...I don't even have to suspend my disbelief to see them as if they are the same person. It's wild. Man, now I've done gone and made myself sad. I want a Season 4-7 dangs it!! *ugly crying*
@@AraClaire Honestly!!! I can't get enough of the show, it was extremely rare the way they portrayed these murder scenes compared to other shows. Creative and some I could dare say "beautiful", it honestly brings tears to my eyes thinking that we won't get to see more. The cinematography was truly a masterpiece, the way they portrayed the lost of time and space for Will was incredibly clever. ...and their relationship!!! I don't think I could ever see any other couple as "soulmates" after watching Hannibal.
@@AraClaire Manhunter was dull. It was not a great delivery on the behalf of the actors, hindered or not by the director and the script, but nevertheless it was not, by any means, a great movie. It pales in comparison with the silence of the lambs in any way you want to slice it. Mads Michaelsen did play his own twicked version of Hannibal, and he gave it an uniqueness and richness that should, by all accounts, be praised by the effort put in it. He plays a calmer, more-in-control Dr. Lecter, as to Hopkins' Hannibal is more feral. I do prefer the later over the former, and even though the praises and accolades not always go to the rightful competitor, in this case I'd argue they did.
@@cynful4763 Cox was the most realistic Lector. An intelligent evil man. The other films made him into a super anti-hero. I prefer manhunter to everything else.
Anthony Hopkins portrayed Hannibal Lecter so well that every time I watch him I forget that he’s not supposed to be a sympathetic villain. I have to remind myself that he’s not an antihero.
Fun fact that Anthony Hopkins & Jodie Foster didn't speak to each other on the set of Silence of the Lambs as Jodie was petrified of Sir Anthony Hopkins, not in a scary way but in awe of who he is. Years later Sir Anthony told Jodie that he was also scared of her in awe of who she was
there are plenty more where he came from!!! i have had the misfortune to cross paths with several sociopaths. i just didn't realize it until later. that is exactly how they are!!
Well like the first reply said it read the heartbeat, however not saying hannibal is fully insane, that being said crazy people don't know they are crazy therefore they believe their own lies for example: Norman Bates
It's so sad that people only know the movie "silence of the lambs" and don't even know about the books. They are brilliant and they end VERY different than the movies lol
Idk man, I think Hannibal would be so curious about the joker’s mind that he would get close to him, while simultaneously manipulating him on his own whims.
Vladis grutas did NOT kill Hannibal parents . They died when a german plane crashed into a russian tank right in front of them..... Yes I kow...........
So, he was forced to eat his precious sister? Then, reminded of his younger sister through other weak children being bullied, he became violent for their sake? I see why a lot of people became interested in his story and how his name remains prevalent. He's more complicated than a regular cannibalistic murderer.
I’ve read all of the novels by Thomas Harris. Harris is the one and only writer that I can think of that can legit rival Stephen King as far as writing and creating such well fleshed characters.
@@Abi_B. if you go back and watch the post credits on the very last episode you'd see an exquisitely set table with 3 place settings and a human leg ready to be eaten. At the end of the table is Bedelia high as a kite and the camera pans below the table and you see that one her left leg has been removed. Apparently, she had nursed them back to health and was waiting for them to join her for "dinner."
Here is something you didn't know about Lecter. Like many very young older brothers, he resented and envied his little sister. He was also emotionally mature enough to know that his envy was wrong. When the psychopaths killed her, he was glad she was dead. THAT is what drove him insane.
@@marthacota3063 Again, he envied and resented the social value of his younger sister, he knew his resentment was wrong. These feelings are common and normal, most people get over them. What is not normal is for your sister to get eaten. In his adolescent mind, he was glad she was gone. That is what drove him insane. Later, as a brilliant psychologist, he surely understood this. He could have rescued himself. By that time he was too far gone.
Oh, and notice who was next in the stew pot. Lecter escaped death just barely, certainly not because of anything he did. This story is compelling to a lot of people such as I, perhaps because, if I think it through, I would have acted exactly as Lecter did. That is the scary part.
One last thing, please do not conflate the fictional story of Hannibal Lecter with any real mass murderer. The fictional character Lecter could kill anybody. Jeffrey Dahmer was a pencil neck punk that I could have snapped in half, which is why he never picked on anyone like me.
@@georgecopeland5426 That can help explain part of why he gravitated towards Abigail in the TV show's universe. He probably wanted to take in Abigail as a surrogate daughter because he saw her as a way to make up for Misha, in his own f-cked up way.
Whoever made this Video didnt watch the movie "hannibal rising" which explanes his whole backstory. Already the first 2 Minutes got so many things wrong. The year was 1944 not 1941. When hannibal arrived in france his uncle was already dead for 1 year, thus he never came to the castle to adopt hannibal. He also didnt surpress the memory of what happend to misha. He dreams of it every night, shouting her name and shaking violently in bed. I can really recommend the movie, it has a great atmosphere and is played really well.
Gary Oldman played the character who Hannibal convinced to disfigure himself. I'm not sure how many people even realize but it is genuinely Gary Oldman.
That's the way Harris liked it. It wasn't until people "threatened" to make up a backstory for a movie, that the author rushed to write a backstory they had to follow.
@@KevintheRhea The book Hannibal goes into detail about Mischa, and some of Lecters psychology. He has nightmares about his sister, so I think you're actually wrong about this one.
@@Jim-pq9pm you're absolutely correct, there's many references to his backstory before the book, I didn't word what I meant properly. Check out producer Dino De Laurentis' account of the book online.

Mads Mikkelsen owns the role of Hannibal now. It's tough to say this, but he is a far more capable actor than Hopkins ever was. I feel like Hopkins general persona, cadence, and portrayal of various characters are all... the same. Mads is never the same. He's the European equivalent of Gary Oldman or Daniel Day-Lewis.
I bought the book silence of the lambs in late 1988. I was doing some Christmas shopping and saw it at a Coles Book Store. It was heavily discounted on a sale table. I saw the cover and instantly “judged the book by its cover”. I thought, whatever this is about, it’s intriguing. It was an outstretched hand with a moth above it. Not frightening in the least. Lol. I had not heard of the book before that day, and learned afterwards that it was a best seller. (Why was it so heavily discounted?) I started reading and could not stop. Read it in a day! It was outstanding. When in mid 1989 it was announced a movie was going to be made based on the movie, I was ecstatic. I could not wait. Saw it on its release date February 14, 1991. For me, it is and will always be my number one favourite movie. I’m so glad I have the book, a hardcover 1st edition. I read Red Dragon after reading silence of the lambs and subsequently Hannibal and Hannibal rising and did not much care for any of the three.
I have all of the movies and books. I've head the book "Hannibal" four times because it's my favorite book out of the series. I am glad that he got a happish ending compared to the movie. The tv series is amazing, as well as all of the actors who played Hannibal Lecter, such as Anthony Hopkins, Mads Mikkelsen and Gaspard Ulliel. The ending of the tv series made me both sad and upset. It was certainly unexpected.
Damn I’m so glad that after all this time his backstory was revealed I can’t believe it didn’t happen in the previous media he’s appeared in thank you looper for finally revealing it
With the success of Joker hopefully more people will watch the Hannibal series...same tone mood visual feast...and immaculate performances by Mikkelsen Dancy and Fishburne ...ugh movie Hannibal rising shown here is not good...
Hannibal Rising is a good movie, I don't see the issue, other than not liking the concept of a backstory in general. I love season 1 and 2, and the first half of season 3, felt that the last 6 episodes were not nearly as good as their movie counterparts.
There’s a story about a Military Commander dying on the outskirts of Rome. Other great Military Commanders are in the room with him, and they’re having a conversation about Military History. Eventually, they decide that Hannibal was the greatest Military Commander of all time. He’d been in Canaan, in the North of Africa, a part of the world that was given that name before The Holy Land was introduced. A times those areas had been called Phonaecia, when they were controlled by Greece. Hannibal wanted to conquer Rome. He took elephants, and gave his armies long spears. They got into Spain, moved over the Pyrenees, went through France, over the Alps and into Italy. Then Hannibal took Rome. Hannibal owned Rome for 38 days. They gave David Neitz the David Neitz Bar at the MCC in the MCG because of this story. My belief is that AFL is a better system than Gladiatorial Warfare.
He's a well written character. And if you haven't I'd really suggest getting the books, or the audio version. They go into much better detail, and take a few other turns left out of the movies. A couple of things: 1. Hannibal has six fingers on one hand, fully functioning polydactyle. 2. He also has maroon eyes. And there are a lot of other details minor and major. You get to like him, and you can see exactly how easy it is for a charismatic and intelligent person like Dahmer or Mudgett to be so active and so successful as serial killers where the ones like Gumb failed quickly.
The books are much better and they explain things in a better way. Also, in the book 'Hannibal Rising' Hannibal has the ability to read a book only once and can remember everything in it.
@@IndomitableGanja The origin of Hannibal as ih "how he became a cannibal" is in the Book Hannibal Rising. His first appearence is in Red Dragon, but that has nothing to do with his originstory
Hannibal never met his uncle because he died a year previous when he met his aunt. Him and his aunt then had an affair with her. Watch the movie I guess.
@@WonkelDee Psychopaths don't have empathy and can't genuinely love anyone, while Hannibal loved his family. It's established multiple times that he's something different than a psychopath or sociopath that no one can categorize
Book Hannibal Lecter would hardly kill women unless they were rude or somehow dangerous to him (we only know about the nurse case when he was already imprisoned). In the TV show, the doctor's multiple killings of young girls are so in conflict with his backstory.
Honestly, I respect both actors for their own portrayal. I really don't feel the need to choose. But Gene Wilder will forever be the one & only Willy Wonka. But I'll give Johnny Depp to Capt. Jack Sparrow, no one can ever replace him there.
@@Jim-pq9pm sadly, in silence of the lambs ist says that Will is an alcoholic now and his face is full of scars. So it would be difficult to bring back the character.
By revealed, do you mean for people that haven't read the movies in well over a decade? You didn't mention how the particular butcher would harangue the Japanese woman, as his adoptive mother was continually asked did she have a horizontal or vertical slit, as this was at the end of japo seno war, and the Chinese said the japenese women would spread vicious lies about the Japanese enemies, like sideways slits or vagina dententia? Harris was well aware of the animosity at the time, so he was careful to include it.
Does looper know something we don't?? Like is another hannibal movie coming out or is the tv show being revamped?? Cause this is basic information that you could read on wiki.
Well Hopkins wrote a sequel script to silence of the lambs where Hannibal gets killed by clarice but it got rejected... so technically there is a 3rd film out there
There are some mistakes here regarding Hannibal. Mischa isn't mentioned in any of the Hopkins movies. He doesnt say that he tries to hypnotize Clarice into thinking That she is Mischa. When Hannibal is onboard the plane at the end, Clarice isn't With him. She lost track of him when he cut off his Hand in the house to get out of the cuffs.
It's a separate verse(not completely) and CANON It would be similar to movies Only if people didn't pirate it and forced the makers to end in like the way it did. They saw a significant drop in numbers (people pirating it(2mil) were more than people watching it(1-1.4mil) )
In order of Hannibal's lifespan: Hannibal Rising (2007), Hannibal (TV Series), Red Dragon (2002), Silence of the Lambs (1991), & Hannibal (2001). Manhunter is 1986 Hannibal movie with the same story as Red Dragon - excellent movie but no clips were shown from that one. And Hannibal & Clarisse only ended up together in the novels, not the movies.
So is this over a series of different shows? If so please list them in order (not including silence of the lambs or red dragon or the one with Julianne Moore) Thanks!
Mastering your body begins with being able to control your heart rhythm example getting your heart to go down to 39 bpm for five minutes straight or increasing your heart rhythm to hundred and 40 bpm for 10 minutes straight. Through out this training exercise a person must be completely motionless. Having a complete mastery of your body. Is much more complexed. Then just having self-control discipline that gives one a brief moment of freakish strength control. Again beating a lie detector test is very common basic average normal. Since it focuses on the electrical impulses that are received and transmitted through the heart. The average heartbeat is 68 bpm per minute so if you can decrease your own heart rhythm below the average during the test. It is always going to register you as telling the truth. What is better than a lie detector test is asking questions that one will answer honestly whether the are guilty or innocent.
You know, I'm starting to be convinced that Hannibal Lecter intentionally got himself caught. I'm not convinced that he was caught by outside people. I think he was trying to be caught. Purely for fun. Jesus, this is freaky.

Hannibal Rising is a good movie, I don't see the issue, other than not liking the concept of a backstory in general. I love season 1 and 2, and the first half of season 3, felt that the last 6 episodes were not nearly as good as their movie counterparts.
Chilton wasn't vacationing in the Bahamas. He was in protective custody after Lecter escaped.
The fact that Anthony Hopkins is only four years younger than Dr. Lecter .
There’s a story about a Military Commander dying on the outskirts of Rome. Other great Military Commanders are in the room with him, and they’re having a conversation about Military History. Eventually, they decide that Hannibal was the greatest Military Commander of all time. He’d been in Canaan, in the North of Africa, a part of the world that was given that name before The Holy Land was introduced. A times those areas had been called Phonaecia, when they were controlled by Greece. Hannibal wanted to conquer Rome. He took elephants, and gave his armies long spears. They got into Spain, moved over the Pyrenees, went through France, over the Alps and into Italy. Then Hannibal took Rome. Hannibal owned Rome for 38 days. They gave David Neitz the David Neitz Bar at the MCC in the MCG because of this story. My belief is that AFL is a better system than Gladiatorial Warfare.
I kind of feel bad for lecter now that i know what caused him to become Crazy
Boo hoo I accidentally ate my sister.
@@BootlegFightVideo I'm from Arkansas, no accident needed. eh? eh? awww :(
He's a well written character. And if you haven't I'd really suggest getting the books, or the audio version. They go into much better detail, and take a few other turns left out of the movies. A couple of things:
1. Hannibal has six fingers on one hand, fully functioning polydactyle.
2. He also has maroon eyes.
And there are a lot of other details minor and major. You get to like him, and you can see exactly how easy it is for a charismatic and intelligent person like Dahmer or Mudgett to be so active and so successful as serial killers where the ones like Gumb failed quickly.
@@OldSkullInn And why Jame Gumb isn't a "James". Fascinating read.
@@OldSkullInn I'm from Arkansas too bro lol
The books are much better and they explain things in a better way. Also, in the book 'Hannibal Rising' Hannibal has the ability to read a book only once and can remember everything in it.
According to the last novel the parents were killed by artillery fire from a plane.
Clem Rusty sorry can you clarify more artillery from a plane?
@@beheuy7732 the plane was some gunner type of plane and it rained bullets on Hannibal's parents. 😣
You do know there is a whole book about that and even a movie?
It was red something wasn't it ? I don't remember the name . Can you refresh my memory ?
Ig: Yg_Jxime760
Red Dragon is the name also read Hannibal Rising, the book is better than the movie.
@@rodneysettle8106 red dragon ! I remember reading it and being hella into it. Thanks so much
@@IndomitableGanja The origin of Hannibal as ih "how he became a cannibal" is in the Book Hannibal Rising. His first appearence is in Red Dragon, but that has nothing to do with his originstory
I CRIEEDDDD WHEN U SHOWED ED NORTON AS WILL 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 I LOVE GIM SO MUCH😭
Imagine Gordon Ramsay and Hannibal Lecter had a fusion.
Hed go like
THE BLOOD IS FOKIN RAWWWWW
Brian Cox played a compelling Hannibal in “Manhunter” back in the 80’s
Hannibal never met his uncle because he died a year previous when he met his aunt. Him and his aunt then had an affair with her. Watch the movie I guess.

kajenbop N u Can lEArn to NOt aCt AutIStIc
Thotlords M5 V10 a lot autistic people can read so your comment is invalid
Even the bullying part is wrong. Bullies knew to stay away from him early on, according to you know, the author and what he actually wrote.
Thank you so much for this cohesive timeline. Finally!
I’d like to see Christoph Waltz play Hannibal Lecter in a remake
it siad he could speak multiple languages when he was ten but he was a mute when he was eight. i’m sorry i’m confused
Mute means he couldn't speak properly due to trauma or throat damage, but he could still understand/read/write multiple languages
Hannibal was selectively mute-he could speak but he chose not to.
imagine a 'past' Hannibal meeting his 'future" self
This is good stuff! Watching horror in October is better than a beach in the summer
Hannibal is a sociopath, not a psycopath.
He is a psychopath. Sociopaths are reckless and impulsive, they cannot follow social norms. Hannibal isn’t a sociopath.
@@WonkelDee Psychopaths don't have empathy and can't genuinely love anyone, while Hannibal loved his family. It's established multiple times that he's something different than a psychopath or sociopath that no one can categorize
@@baguette3025Your correct, but the closest we can classify him as, is a psychopath. He is a developed psychopath.
There could never have been 2 better people to star in this movie than Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins. They are what made this movie a classic!
If only they had made movies and Wikipedia pages about this
Let me save you some time and ruin it in its entirety.
They did make a movie about it. It's called Hannibal Rising
Thanks, I was brought back to my birthday watching Hannibal Rising in theatres.
Book Hannibal Lecter would hardly kill women unless they were rude or somehow dangerous to him (we only know about the nurse case when he was already imprisoned). In the TV show, the doctor's multiple killings of young girls are so in conflict with his backstory.
Hannibal will always be a gentleman, no matter what. 🙏
Just watch “Hannibal Rising”....🤔
And i'm really sorry that many ppl think of the first and the best Hannibal Lecter as Mikkelsen. Anthony Hopkins is the real Hannibal y'all
he was first but mikkelsen was far better
@@suomiapina89 lmao hell nah don't even try to fight me
Honestly, I respect both actors for their own portrayal. I really don't feel the need to choose. But Gene Wilder will forever be the one & only Willy Wonka. But I'll give Johnny Depp to Capt. Jack Sparrow, no one can ever replace him there.
They're both great in their own ways, Anthony for the iconic creepiness and Mads for the sophisticated/elegant style
The way he said “psychopathy” drove me crazy
"I do not love thee, Doctor Fell.
The reason why,
I cannot tell.
But this I know,
and know full well:
I do not love thee,
Doctor Fell."
Why no clips from Manhunter, an underrated classic
And despite obvious reasons a a well played Lecter.
Is mindhunter a lecter story
@@BuckfastConsumer not sp much. More red dragon and will
Arbiter Of Reason what mate??
@@BuckfastConsumer manhunter is based on the red dragon book and that focuses on will hunting down dolarhyde.
It would be wonderful if Mr. Harris continued writing the Lecter stories. A follow-up to 2001's "Hannibal" would be fitting.
Would be cool. Maybe bring Will Graham back again.
@@Jim-pq9pm sadly, in silence of the lambs ist says that Will is an alcoholic now and his face is full of scars. So it would be difficult to bring back the character.
@@annikaki8305 Sounds like an ok place to start
By revealed, do you mean for people that haven't read the movies in well over a decade?
You didn't mention how the particular butcher would harangue the Japanese woman, as his adoptive mother was continually asked did she have a horizontal or vertical slit, as this was at the end of japo seno war, and the Chinese said the japenese women would spread vicious lies about the Japanese enemies, like sideways slits or vagina dententia?
Harris was well aware of the animosity at the time, so he was careful to include it.
So what source do they have for this
Does looper know something we don't?? Like is another hannibal movie coming out or is the tv show being revamped?? Cause this is basic information that you could read on wiki.
Halloween
Well Hopkins wrote a sequel script to silence of the lambs where Hannibal gets killed by clarice but it got rejected... so technically there is a 3rd film out there
I'm the bon vivant of violence, a licensed psychiatrist, who dines on highest society to the sound of violins!
Love this.
Just watched the silence of the lambs a couple days ago and I've had the erb stuck in my head lol
There are some mistakes here regarding Hannibal. Mischa isn't mentioned in any of the Hopkins movies. He doesnt say that he tries to hypnotize Clarice into thinking That she is Mischa.
When Hannibal is onboard the plane at the end, Clarice isn't With him. She lost track of him when he cut off his Hand in the house to get out of the cuffs.
Mads mikkelsen❤️❤️
His backstory wasn't revealed, it already was shown in a movie
That's still considered a reveal tho
What movie is that?
JACM2006
The movie and the book is called “Hannibal Rising”.
Mischa wasnt cooked in front of him. Are you guys going by a different version of the story than the novels or just making shit up? Lol.
Clem Rusty they’re mixing the movies and books together. 😐
In the book they make him eat his sister
A character in Hannibal Rising tells him he ate a broth made of his sister but we as the readers dont know if he's lying.
@@clemrusty1331 pretty sure it's the truth, they had no reason to kill Mischa if they weren't starving. She was the only food there
Hannibal Rising was a great movie in my personal opinion.
Excellent!! I enjoyed this backstory greatly.
Hanninal rising is sooo good yall should watch it. The actor is STRANGELY hot
I didn't think people still liked hannibal lol im being him for halloween
Hey same! I'm goona be the blue jumpsuit behind glass version, you?
@@dobson. OH WHAT!! Cool ima be the TV show one
@@royalelite2996 Ohh Nice! I, love TV versions suit... He's so like fancy or whatever the word to describe it is 😂
@@dobson. ikr also the word i would use to describe any hannibal is sophisticated
@@royalelite2996 Ah, true true. Very Sophisticated
The relationship between lectern and Lady murisaci was potent.its strongly implied that it was much deeper than stepmother stepson
I think the escape scene in The Silence of The Lambs is one of the best scenes of any movie ever!
Can somebody please tell me the name of the background music playing?
Music at 4:17?
Is bryan fullers hannibal even canon?
No. Completely it's own thing
It's a separate verse(not completely)
and CANON
It would be similar to movies
Only if people didn't pirate it and forced the makers to end in like the way it did.
They saw a significant drop in numbers (people pirating it(2mil) were more than people watching it(1-1.4mil) )
Was that Gillian Anderson as his therapist? I need to watch this asap
What's the names of all the movies?
You left out that Hannibal informed Francis Dolorhyde of where Will Graham lives. That's where Dolorhyde dies.
Can some one please tell me were the clips of all these are from?
In order of Hannibal's lifespan: Hannibal Rising (2007), Hannibal (TV Series), Red Dragon (2002), Silence of the Lambs (1991), & Hannibal (2001). Manhunter is 1986 Hannibal movie with the same story as Red Dragon - excellent movie but no clips were shown from that one. And Hannibal & Clarisse only ended up together in the novels, not the movies.
@@zegs112 Thank You
Excuse me sir there is some video in your ads
So is this over a series of different shows? If so please list them in order (not including silence of the lambs or red dragon or the one with Julianne Moore) Thanks!
i´ve just finished the movie from 2001, man i´m hungry!
1:03 actually wrong, did you even watch all movies?
Can someone tell me what movies/TV shows there that I should watch in order to see the story of Hannibal Lecter
I can recommend every movie but especially the tv show
Mads Mikkelsen is doing a fantastic job of making the character his own
What's the tv series with the young hannibal in it?
It's just called Hannibal
And it's amazing
Or do you mean the really young Hannibal?thats the movie Hannibal Rising
Great commentary 👍👍
This is not news
Why making this video out of the blue?
And The Wild Bean Appears it’s October, fuck head...horror movie month.
@@Robert_H_Diver Now now, Hannibal eats the rude.
@@AraClaire XD
Movie @ 4:08 ?
Mastering your body begins with being able to control your heart rhythm example getting your heart to go down to 39 bpm for five minutes straight or increasing your heart rhythm to hundred and 40 bpm for 10 minutes straight. Through out this training exercise a person must be completely motionless. Having a complete mastery of your body. Is much more complexed. Then just having self-control discipline that gives one a brief moment of freakish strength control. Again beating a lie detector test is very common basic average normal. Since it focuses on the electrical impulses that are received and transmitted through the heart. The average heartbeat is 68 bpm per minute so if you can decrease your own heart rhythm below the average during the test. It is always going to register you as telling the truth. What is better than a lie detector test is asking questions that one will answer honestly whether the are guilty or innocent.
This comment though- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I take it this backstore is from the show. Book Hannibal rising was different.
They took mostly from the movie version. Hannibal the tv show hints at it.
Anyone else still thinking about the ending of Hannibal(tv show)..cause like...wow...
You know, I'm starting to be convinced that Hannibal Lecter intentionally got himself caught. I'm not convinced that he was caught by outside people. I think he was trying to be caught. Purely for fun. Jesus, this is freaky.
