Of all the fictional characters to ever exist, Hannibal Lecter might be the one that needed a backstory the least. He's a character that's infinitely scarier if you don't know why he is the way he is. But apparently I don't know the power of money.

[@DrHappy-hk4hl]

Him and Joker pretty much

[@GrayVMhan]

You're right when considering movies as an art, the companies view them as business tho so since the first couple of movies made BIG BUCKS they are gonna keep doing movies about this oddball

[@LAVATORR]

I always imagined his backstory was really dull. Typical serial killer traits: Cruelty to animals, narcissism, all that. He just happened to be exceptionally intelligent and successful. What is interesting is Lecter's greatest weakness, which is very briefly touched upon in both Red Dragon and Silence, is that he doesn't know *why* he's like this, and he's very insecure about being "crazy", of not being in total control of himself. Notice how whenever Starling or Graham call him out on this, he drops the mind games and physically threatens them.

Pedantic historian mode: Hannibal didn't cross the Berlin Wall, which was built in 1961. That would be Soviet occupied border, probably in East Germany or possibly in Hungary or Czechoslovakia. More popularly those were called the Iron Curtain.

[@colinbaldwin313]

Courtesy of IMDB, I just learned another pedantic fact: Mischa is actually a male name in Eastern Europe; it's a diminutive of Mikhail. A more appropriate name for Hannibal's kid sister would have been Mascha, diminutive of Maria.

[@yaroslavkurgansky6205]

[@TrekBeatTK]

The backstory about eating his sister at least did originate with the book Hannibal in flashbacks.

[@Sm0k3turt]

The vague mystery of it all makes it work better though

[@oliverhughes610]

Historical context a little lacking here. The Soviets forced Lithuania into annexation in 1940 along with the rest of the Baltic States. Germany occupied it in June 1941 when they invaded the USSR. The Soviets in 1944 were not liberating it from German occupation, they were returning to resume their own, which lasted until 1990, when it became the first Soviet republic to declare independence. It's still a tough period of history for the Baltics as there were many situations in which countrymen fought each other as part of the German and Soviet militaries respectively. Many at the time viewed the Germans as liberators and protectors rather than occupiers, at least for the first couple of years, and even to this day families are divided on how exactly to view that period of their history and there are often fights about it. It's a deep and nuanced issue and obviously this isn't a history video so I wouldn't expect a detailed coverage of it, but it's worth pointing out here regardless I think.

[@compatriot852]

That's not to mention the Forest Brother war that was going on during the occupations

[@TheShut1]

I know Soviet soldiers and leaders unfortunately also did some atrocities and were not always good guys that propaganda dictated for so many years, but I hope no sane person to this day would consider na-zi's to be liberators, anything good they brought was taken from pain and tears of others and people that think na-zi regime was more desirable and pleasant than soviet one are heartless.

[@oliverhughes610]

@@TheShut1 Today the majority opinion (from what I can tell) is just 'Nazis bad, Soviets bad' which given their history is completely valid. At the time, the Soviets were more about destroying local national identity whereas the Germans capitalised on promoting it, so it makes sense they had support. However it is worth noting that Lithuania, unlike Latvia and Estonia, did not have its own SS division. Approximately 36,000 Lithuanians fought for the Wehrmacht, not including Lithuanian nationals with German ethnicity from the Memel region that was annexed by Germany in 1939.

[@LAVATORR]

For years, I made it a point to never learn anything about Lithuania. Ever. Because after traveling the world and seeing all these famous places, the world started feeling smaller, less mysterious. So I figured, if I never learn anything about Lithuania, anything is possible there. It's like "Here Be Dragons" on ancient maps. For all I know, in Lithuania, people wear hats on their feet and hamburgers eat people. Then I learned Hannibal was Lithuanian and I was like "fuck, now I know exactly 1 Lithuania Fact."

[@axelboom]

Us, Estonian can claim Esther from The Orphan 😂

[@1SaG]

8:14 - I can't believe I'm "defending" this flick, but: 1944 + "8 years later" = 1952. No such thing as the Berlin Wall at that time (it went up in 1961). In fact, it probably wouldn't have been that hard moving from Eastern Europe to W-Germany or France in the early 1950s. Hannibal could always have claimed that he was a displaced person, trying to get back to relatives of his in France or something.

[@callofghidorah1158]

In the book Hannibals uncle is still alive and came to get himfrom the orphanage to take him back to France. On top of that Hannibal was a'lot younger in the book at this point, about 13 in age.

The tv show Hannibal does somewhat acknowledge Hannibal Rising with Bryan Fuller saying had things continued, Lecter’s Aunt and Uncle (who David Bowie was envisioned for the role) making an appearance but in the shows third season there’s a subplot that acknowledges it but subverts plenty of details to make Hannibal’s less generic but more detailed and complex which is very much what the show was good at for a lot of its characters

[@katstratford9815]

16:02 Thank you for mentioning It's Only the End of the World! Gaspard was great in that film, and also in A Very Long Engagement (which led him to be cast in Hannibal Rising), in Saint Laurent, and in Jacquou le Croquant the same year Hannibal Rising came out, to name a few. He had much better films and performances in France, he was a very respected and acclaimed actor there, so it's unfair to judge his entire career based on a single film which turned out to be bad (which wasn't your case but I often see people doing that). English wasn't his first language and he did the best he could with what he was given, not to mention that he had a lot of pressure on him for playing such an iconic character, so it's clear that he wasn't very comfortable. He was also a fan casting choice for the role of Gambit in the MCU. He gave up on Hollywood after Hannibal Rising until the director of Moon Knight invited him to play Midnight Man in it. It's a shame that he died so young in such a tragic way. Thank you for being respectful towards Gaspard although you hated this film, James.

Pregnant women in ancient Mesopotamia would actually pray and make offerings to shrines of Pasuzu. Even though it was considered a malicious entity, the demon that was responsible for complications during childbirth was scared of Pasuzu.

I actually think Hannibal Rising helps explain a lot of why Hannibal behaves the way he does later in life. It really feels like he massively over-corrected as a young man, and had to learn to reign it in and actually have discipline, instead of wildly indulging on a whim. Really, this movie makes his older self even more impressive, because he went from this to a collected, stoic, highly intellectual master of deception.

4:21 At the very end of the novel Hannibal and Clarice not only run away together, they get a gigantic castle full of servants So just to be clear, Hannibal Lecter owns not one, but TWO castles.

Great video as always, but you actually missed three kills at 5:15. That German plane is a Junkers Ju 87 G ‘Stuka’, which had a crew of two - a pilot and a rear gunner. The Soviet tank is a T-34/85, which had a crew of five - the commander, the loader, the gunner, the driver, and the radio operator/bow machinegunner. For the gender breakdown, that’s one additional man and two unknowns - the vast majority of Soviet tank troops were men, but there were some women in mixed crews, like the famous Ukrainian Hero of the Soviet Union Mariya Oktyabrskaya.

I was having such a crappy week.. but I legitimately picked me up when I realized there was another Hannibal’s franchise kill count.. Thanks, James.

Watching this movie in prep for the Kill Count all I could think is "I'd rather be watching Dog Soldiers for an 18th time" Dog Soldiers rocks!!

[@jethermusic1966]

That's a movie about soldiers getting attacked by werewolves right?

[@nerddowellanderson8982]

@@jethermusic1966 Yes!!! Shot in like this gritty realistic war movie style as well but also with werewolves.

[@jethermusic1966]

@@nerddowellanderson8982 I have to watch that again I have faint memories about that movie for so long that I haven't watched it🤣

There are certain aspects I enjoy from this film, and the lead playing Hannibal did his absolute best at embodying the character

smooth really smooth nicely done with the sponcer segment

I'm so embarrassed that I didn't click past the Keeps ad because I was like ".......I might actually need this." James, next week, get a sponsorship from Dick Pills.

[@philipreid2542]

Yes, must have been really embarrassing if you were then happy to post about it

[@robirdta]

I do feel like the film makers tried way too hard to make Hannibal an anti-hero when he was never that way

Today was a rough day, but my weekly tradition of eating my favourite food at my favourite place, and watching the Latest DeadMeat video, will make it more bearable ❤

Hollywood: they have such a thirst for a reboot, prequels an sequels! Us: yeah no u guys ruined that now we wish youd stop!

[@jmare171]

Woke up out of my sleep to watch this. Thanks James❤

[@lyric5310]

Dear James with a great love, I’m a kid from LA that loves your videos. I’ve been watching you for about four years you don’t know how much your videos impact my life with a great horror and a funny twist. I’ve watched everything from the Jason videos to the Jaws videos to the Michael Myers videos to the Carrie videos and it just goes on when I’m sad. I watch your videos when I’m happy I watch your videos when I just wanna watch a great KZbinr I watch your videos, so thank you.❤❤❤❤

Aw man I had no idea Gaspard passed away. RIP a man who did his best in some crap movies.

[@kenrichardson2781]

I still think your best reaction to a movie you don't like was [I'll Always Remember What You Did Last Summer.]

[@thethrill2310]

This series has an old school Dead Meat vibe to it! I’ve looked forwarded to every day these drop. The movie/series choices make the difference!
