Hannibal Lecter (character) (25.5 points) Nominated by: Xeybozn (1/5 remaining) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU8jKn7sMwU" data-time=" Importance: 9.5 Fear: 8 Snake: 8 Everybody's favorite cannibal, Hannibal Lecter originates from the novel Red Dragon by Thomas Harris. Lecter is introduced as a brilliant psychiatrist and valuable asset to FBI profiler Will Graham, the only problem, Lecter has an affinity for the consumption of human flesh. Hannibal has been adapted to various screen portrayals over the years, but it was Anthony Hopkins' award-winning performance in The Silence of the Lambs that everyone knows and mimics. Hopkins' Lecter exudes a charming, affable rapport opposite Jodie Foster's Clarice. Their relationship serves as a cyclic symbiosis for the other, and is an absolute cornerstone of the film. Though Buffalo Bill may serve as the "main" antagonist, it's Lecter that's really the villainous force pervading the film, manipulating Clarice and his captors to make his escape. Even though it's Lecter who's locked-up, he holds all the power and the bargaining chips, which puts him into a dangerous position for others to deal with. I love the way Hopkins articulates his facial emotions ever so subtly, and the repulsive way Lecter partakes in his unsavory cannibalistic tendencies. You could fine-tooth comb every frame of every scene Lecter is in and come away with something new every time. In addition to Hopkins though, Mads Mikkelsen makes a fine attempt at grabbing the Lecter crown. Hannibal serves a terrific retooling of the character, establishing a near romantic relationship with Will Graham and the first season even gets viewers growing a fondess for Lecter before pulling the rug underneath us by boosting his depraved and duplicitous personality. I think often that's the main power of Hannibal Lecter. His capability of manipulation is not prevented by the borders of fiction, and he can even straddle the line of villain and hero in ways you would never expect. Beyond the cannibalism, I think this is what makes Hannibal as memorable and scary as he is; in one moment, you're having dinner with Lecter, and then the next... well, you can probably finish that thought. --- If the suspense doesn't kill you, something else will! http://tinyurl.com/zqwzc9a - https://i.imgtc.com/3qwvxhc.jpg <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:912184951] in Snake Rank...
