Brett Ratner wanted too just give very vague implications of Hannibal holding a grudge.

[@robingoodfellow5092]

Most people think that Hannibal's reaction to Will calling him insane is rage, I feel like it's disappointment. You could see Lecter's interest getting piqued when Will said he had disadvantages, but when Will did call him insane, he was disappointed. Disappointed that the only man close enough to understanding him at this point, the only man he considered worth battling wits with, was satisfied with calling him mad and moving on.

[@TheGothicRichard]

@@jimbeam100100 The films don't show Lecter as unknowable. The origin film explains why he eats people.

[@whiskii]

Yeah I never thought it was rage. Either disappointment or perhaps realisation that his insanity is actually what got him caught and his "acting normal" in society wasn't as perfect as he thought because he is, in fact, insane.

@@leom5671 In the film "Hannibal" we're told that it's "to show his disdain for those who exacerbate him", as well as to "perform a public service" by removing people he thinks society is better without- like a flutist he felt was spoiling an orchestra (in the books the flutist is one of his patients and he gives the additional reason of getting tired of his "whining" in therapy). The film and book "Hannibal Rising" shows that when he was a kid, some starving soldiers broke into his family estate and murdered and ate his family, including his sister who was fed to Hannibal, and Hannibal escaped, grew up, hunted down and brutally murdered all of them in revenge, and afterwards started killing people he found annoying. So he tortures and kills people he doesn't like, and he eats them to show he is better than they are, that they are nothing more than a meal to him.

I feel like Will has the advantage of knowing Hannibal for a long time, so he knows how to assert his position more effectively than Clarice. She also had to work harder to earn his respect I think.

[@wolfenstein43]

Starling had more of an advantage I think in Silence and Red Dragon. He fell in love with her. Of course she got lucky at the beginning of Silence that Lecter's next door cell mate was rude to her. Will had to work harder not to give anything away.

[@Spiritryptamine]

Lecter feels very vulnerable in this particular scene. He's extremely aggressive, but I think it's because he's mad that Will caught him. He feels superior in terms of intellect, but he also understands that Will has his own intelligence that matched, even overthrew him. Will deflects all of his manipulation.

[@sethraelthebard5459]

The director and Hopkins observed that during the filming process. Unlike the more reserved and quietly menacing persona of Dr. Lector in Silence of the Lambs, this Lector was considerably more aggressive, angry, and still feeling the sting of what he called the "inconvenience of being incarcerated." This was meant to seem as though Lector was still dealing with what he considered the "injustice" of being captured. I always love discussion of this film, and the stylized glimpse into the mind of a monster.

[@adrianmunoz7646]

Agreed. Just watched the scene with Agent Clarice. He seems more settled in by that time. Here, he is…aggravated and everything around him is beneath him.

[@CuirPhotodotNet]

....until he told the ultimate truth that stung Lecter.......he...is insane...and therefore at a loss...for all his money....style.... education and savior faire....he is living at a deficit....that put him at the mercy of....rude people....ugh....

[@RockSmithStudio]

Will is the antithesis to Lecter in that Will is so empathic in that he can completely understands the thoughts/feelings of others. Lecter is a pure psychopath, meaning he completely lacks the ability to feel guilt hence the thoughts/feelings of others is irrelevant

[@Paraprax]

Big time. One of the most worthwhile things about this film is that it wasn't just a victory lap for Hopkins, it was an opportunity to portray Lecter at his most villainous, in a different time and dynamic in his life, before meeting the person who'd kick off his slow evolution into something more.

[@TheTrueNarthumpulous]

I like how Will isn't as susceptible to Lecter's psychological fuckery as Clarice was. It's an interesting contrast that helps to elevate Will's character.

[@KalOrtPor]

A big reason for it is that he's nearly Lecter's equal when it comes to insight into the psyche, to the point of becoming unstable in the realization he might be as deranged as the people he's after. They mostly glossed over Will's PTSD and being on the brink of a breakdown in this version though, he didn't have Norton's boyish self-assured vanity about him. Lecter had left lasting psychological damage and Will was repulsed by his presence enough he could hardly stand being in the room with him. "Manhunter" captured it well, he enters the cell area gingerly like going into a lion's den, and afterwards runs away in a panic unable to face him again. Of course, with the popularity of Hopkins' Lecter they had to create much more screen time for them since he hardly appeared in the book, but Norton never sold Will as a rattled, weary veteran investigator. That bottled-up torment and darkness in Petersen's portrayal added much more interesting complexity.

[@organenthusiast5803]

Great point.

[@Jose-se9pu]

This movie did an excelent job portraying Will Graham as the man who was capable of putting the animal in the cage. Kudos to Edward Norton too, who came up with ideas to emphasize this.

[@TheTrueNarthumpulous]

@@Jose-se9pu Exactly. He did a good job of sparring with Lecter in a very humble and unassuming way. He knew what cards not to show and what bait not to take. Almost like a psychological matador. He sees completely through his game and he wore it on his facial expressions and body language well.

[@KalOrtPor]

​@@Jose-se9pu That was the part they did well. I don't mean to rehash my earlier thoughts, but the movie missed the boat on Graham's character in a number of ways though. Norton can be phenomenal in some roles, but I think he was miscast for this. He just wasn't believable as a battle-worn reluctant genius, and Graham was not a young hotshot anymore. While the scenery chewing with Lecter they added was probably unavoidable, the smugness and self-assured demeanor of Graham was at odds with the doubt and deep psychological scars he is supposed to be carrying. William Petersen was better suited and really had you believing he was functional yet ready to crack at any moment. It wasn't appreciated in its day, but it had a huge influence on later psychological thrillers and police procedurals like "CSI" which Petersen ended up leading himself. I want to like "Red Dragon" better, I really do, especially having Hopkins, but every time I watch it I end up wanting to go back to "Manhunter" after.

[@IcedEarth426]

Lecter is obsessed with control. He keeps trying to get the upper hand in this interaction - "Let me keep the photos and I *might* consider it," alluding to threatening Will's family, "You won't persuade me with appeals to my intellectual vanity," trying to get into Will's head with asking about his dreams, "You want to know how he's choosing them, don't you?" (stroking his own ego by pointing out that Will needs something from him), reminding Will what he did to him the last time they worked together...and through it all Will refuses to budge or let Lecter feel in control of the conversation. Good stuff.

[@Absurdword]

The only way to win with a psychopath is to not play at all. Will knows this and handled himself well with Lector ultimately caving like a child when his bluff is called.

[@ZukoHalliwell]

That's sorta what I love about _Red Dragon_ and _The Silence of the Lambs._ I love how, even though Lecter is locked up, he's the one with all the power. Will and Clarice need his help, and he knows it.

@@Absurdword That’s a good point. He could’ve been bluffing, though.

[@wickedwitchoftheeast88]

@@ZukoHalliwell Will is an experienced profiler he wouldn't bluff not with someone as intelligent and psychopathic as Lector he'd know straight away and would have toyed with Will and that would give Lector the upper hand for sure. If you notice Lector sat up, paid attention and seemed pissed off when Will said laymen. That was a subtle insult to Lector and he took it as such that's why he was fixated on how Will caught him because if Will is a layman then thats basically saying to Lector you're nothing special an idiot like me figured you out that insults the narcissistic side of his personality because its made clear many times that the FBI can't build an accurate profile of him and he knows it that feeds into his ego and narcissist tendencies and Lector has shown narcissistic traits insulting a narcissist can make them lose control so I would guess Will did that to see what Lector would reveal in his anger but he never took the bait. The walking away from Lector wasn't a bluff he had every intention of leaving but Will also probably knew Lector would do something else to grab and keep his attention. At this point Lector probably gets visits from psychologists and FBI profilers wanting to interview him and find out about him so he's not short of an audience to toy with because they probably come back to hear more whereas Will the man that caught him and has ignored him since has come to see him because Will now wants/needs something from him. There was no way Lector was going to refuse to cooperate with Will not when he's finally got a response after years of trying because he knows Will won't come back and will continue to ignore him so that's why he agreed and thats why he asked for one hour because he now has some control, his narcissistic side has been fed and he's got Will's full attention in Lector's mind the game has started.

He's a student of Jung so by definition he can't diagnose himself, so couldn't, probably as curious as the rest of us to be honest but in the book it alludes to lector being one of a kind, a pyschopathic narcissist who has a little self control, like he can turn it off, amazing character

[@FrostedSeagull]

Greg, You got it. Lecter considers himself a genius and untouchable when it comes to Intellect and good manners. Will Graham's 'your insane' comment would've floored Hannibal Lector. 'Your insane ' makes him out to be nothing more than a common, vulgar and pedestrian serial killer of the everyday variety. Lecter is a snob ! His Ego would've taken a beating. Being lumped together with the 'great unwashed' would've have internally infuriated Lecter, hence his horrific revenge on Will Graham. For those who haven't read the books by Thomas Harris, especially Silence of the Lambs, we are told that Graham had a face that's now hard to look at AND the insinuation that he's broken . . . and a . . . drunk. A further inference that his wife Molly left him as Lecter got 'too close ' Molly had warned Will Graham at the beginning of Red Dragon that she couldn't go through him (Graham) bring physically or psychologically scarred again by Hannibal Lecter.

The thing I love most about this scene is how its the exact opposite of the Agent Starling scene. In "silence of the Lambs" the camera constantly shifts when Hannibal is getting more dominant.

For being a Brett Ratner movie, Red Dragon was surprisingly well made.

I think bringing back Ted Tally to pen the screenplay was a key factor.

I see those two interactions entirely different both in nature and how Hannibal reacts to the responses. With Clarice he purposefully lead the conversation to the point where she'd have to mention this unsettling detail and Lecter seems impressed that Clarice isn't affected by it. When it comes to the insanity comment, Lecter seems upset of being reminded of his condition that he can't ever understand making it his only weakness and the only thing he can't respond to with some witty remark which infuriates the man who is usually verbally unmatched but even his intellect has its' limits.

[@mildredbailey7186]

The fact that he hates rude people comes into play...meaning how could they point that out at a time like this reaction... 🎵Tks tks...lol ...being rude infuriates a person who doesn't see his OWN faults as others do.

[@timidhobgoblin207]

Being told he’s insane to my knowledge is one of the few times Hannibal almost appears to be somewhat upset, or even offended. It’s subtle and quick however it’s still clearly there. Even when being shot and stabbed he barely flinches but being called insane seemed to cut him quite deep. Hannibal prides himself on being intellectual and a step above and ahead of everyone else so to be called mad clearly upsets him. Anthony Hopkins truly was the perfect Hannibal Lecter.

"You had disadvantages."

[@nikkfrostt]

Will was toying with Lecter. He so obviously calls himself a Laymen. Lecter wouldn't be able to let that slide, having just heard that the man who managed to catch him is degrading himself and thus making it sound like his capture was nothing special. Lecter's ego couldn't let it go. As Will acted like it meant nothing, his inevitable answer was to set Lecter off balance. Calling Lecter Insane when he asked about his disadvantages. Will was self degrading up until this point, being humble. However his answer is a complete 180. There is a huge difference between the sane and insane, that abrupt change in position was beautiful and you can see it on Anthony's face.

[@Destro7000]

I love how Will's completely in control and Hannibal think's he's got him but he hasn't.

The pause in Hannibal’s lines, coupled with his sitting up in bed and turning toward Will with his head centered between his shoulders is just terrifying. The long pauses that provides complete silence is unnerving. It’s not “normal” and is quite creepy. Hopkins most likely did this by pure instinct and thereby, displaying his pure brilliance as an actor. Hopkins said that he wanted to appear “somewhat normal” and let the audience’s imagination do all the work. What a beautifully frightening character he created for us to all to see. Just amazing.

Anthony Hopkins is really something else. I have seen many great actors over the years and when an actor is too good, often times we common people bestow them with the term "natural talent" because in our opinion probably that is the greatest accolade we can give to them but Hopkins is just so magnificent that even a common man who doesn't knows ABC of acting can sense that this guy has years of theater behind him. It literally flows from the very pores of his body. Just few days back I watched "The Edge" and I was just awestruck seeing how minimalistic he was in his portrayal of the rich businessman and that minimalism wasn't without an effort ! A true master 👌👌🎩🎩

“Find our if you’re smarter than the person I’m looking for” ....... you can see the challenge fires in lector ignite under the surface at the prod from will, his slow deliberate walk towards him is so threatening and yet subtle- it’s like a snake cooling ready for the strike, by implication you think you’re smarter than me? love the menace in that sentence and it’s great how the two - Clarice and will manage him differently- Clarice is engaging and open - will is cold calculating and had learnt from the best and knows how to trigger lector - notice how lector almost has to concede to get further interaction with will but in the Clarice/lector scenes it’s lector making Clarice concede and confide to get progress - fascinating the two interactions are 👌🏻🍻

[@florianbarkowski6856]

Will is Hannibal's antithesis. He has so much empathy and strategic thinking he can become the suspects he is looking for. And yet in this process it becomes clear that Will also has the tendencies to go dark. He has the needed thinking for a serial killer, but uses it for the right path. But because of this, he always walks a fine line of not succumbing to the same innate thinking. That's why his interactions with Will are different. Hannibal knows Will can be just as cruel and strategic as he is, but chooses not to. It is a battle of wits in which Will tries tu use this to get information out of Hannibal and Hannibal tries to bring out the intrusive thoughts. That is also why Will shows less of this in this interaction, in order to not get too much exposure to Hannibals persuasion.
