He'd go mostly covered up, so as to not cause a scene, then remove the disguise when the lights went down, and wait for people to realise Hannibal Lecter was sitting behind them. He'd even make comments to people in the same tone of voice he uses as Lecter if they asked a question about the character

The only thing I can figure with Hannibal's disguise going unnoticed is that, given the context, with one officer so mutilated, both men being down, and the knowledge that it's Hannibal who has done it...they assumed the officer was horribly slashed and mutilated by him...and since protocol and adrenaline is dominating such a situation...they wouldn't risk fucking with a man's sliced skin when he's in critical condition...so they just cart him away as quickly as possible to save him.

[@MrParkerman6]

Way to state the fucking obvious.

[@dongilleo9743]

Taking the time and effort to hang and display the other police officer from the cell bars was part of Hannibal's plan to escape. Like a magician, Hannibal was using misdirection to manipulate the police. The police come in and find one officer dead and grotesquely displayed, the other one horribly disfigured laying on the floor, and no sight of Hannibal. Under those circumstances, no one would stop to wonder if the guy on the floor is really Hannibal. They would assume Hannibal must be hiding somewhere, trying to escape. Putting the police officer, now wearing Hannibal's prison clothes, on top of the elevator misdirects the police even further. While they are concentrating on the person on top of the elevator, Hannibal is being carried away in the ambulance. Hannibal even fakes going into shock and having seizures to speed them along in getting him out of the building and on his way.

[@Nimbus1701]

[@thunderstruck5484]

Me to and even in the theater it was really frightening

[@gsparkman]

Note: This movie was made to make everyone uneasy. Join the crowd. But that is why this is an excellent movie: it achieved its goal with great storytelling, acting and cinematography. Thank you for the reactions, which were great. The predictions and guesses of what's about to happen? Not so much.

[@bobw1811]

Hannibal's eyes in this movie is really a testament to Anthony Hopkins' acting because those eyes are unique to Hannibal. When you see Hopkins in other roles, he doesn't have those eyes. In roles such as "The Elephant Man" and "Hearts in Atlantis," his eyes and demeanor are actually warm and caring.

[@MatthewPettyST1300]

And he hardly ever blinks. Just stares at you !

[@ramiabdo5953]

He does let that stare come out very subtly as Ford in Westworld.

[@MatthewPettyST1300]

@@ramiabdo5953 I'm of the belief is he thinking.....A-1, or maybe a Worcester"?

[@JRRLewis]

If anyone wants to see another movie where Hopkins has a totally crazy look for a lot of the movie, Magic (1978) is a fun little horror film where he plays a schizophrenic ventriloquist who finally snaps and starts murdering people. Of his more sympathetic parts, my favorite is probably "Shadowlands." In his latest film, "The Father," he plays an extremely pitiable and sympathetic character who is still sometimes aggressive and intimidating. He finds a good balance.

"Now let's meet bachelor number three: He likes women's clothing, moths, and owning a dungeon to kidnap women!" I saw SotL at the theater. I've been watching horror films since I was a kid and few ever really scare me much, but Silence...I had to cross the city at night to get home from the cinema, and Silence had me genuinely terrified of the trip. It's the only movie to ever do that to me.

[@zzhadeszz4400]

Anthony Hopkins is an amazing actor, he played Hannibal lecter perfectly.

[@isaacgabriel4875]

I always thought Hopkins as Lecter looked at everyone like a wolf looks at its prey... constantly sizing up when, where, and how to attack. 100% predator.

[@planetlok]

I loved your reaction to this, and have never laughed so hard at your nervousness. I appreciate how genuine and thoughtful your commentary was. Will definitely check out your other videos. If you want to watch the prequel to this its called RED DRAGON, and the sequel is HANNIBAL.

[@stephenfitzgerald9769]

You mentioned Hannibal’s elegant/savage duality: he’s actually the son of a Lithuanian noble couple as well as an accredited physician and psychologist. He’s also distantly related to the artist Balthus, who’s subject matter was questionable, to say the least. He was actually fairly active in New England’s high society before his... “tendencies” were revealed. But Hannibal and Red Dragon go into that a little more. Hannibal Rising covers his childhood, but that film is considered forgettable by most of the fan base.

[@sophiecooper3624]

Hannibal the TV show also goes more into that

[@IanCaine4728]

I liked Hannibal Rising, it's funny that most of the comments about the subsequent films omit it.

[@stephenfitzgerald9769]

@@IanCaine4728 I liked it too. From what I understand, it was based off of Ed Harris’s writing, so I don’t think we can accuse it of lacking understanding of the character. The main complaint I always heard was that people didn’t like seeing Hannibal before the was a monster; that that somehow ruins his character. I was always quick to point out, however, that the central theme of the franchise (and I think they say it in every film) is that no one is born a monster: they are made one through abuse.

You missed that the first victim had diamond shaped patches of skin cut from her back, so when Clarice saw the diamond shapes on the dress, she knew right away what was up.

"Maybe it does have a happy ending". Well, sort of.

Imagine seeing this in the theater... Just as the movie ends and the lights come up, the man sitting behind you says in Hannibal's voice, "Did you enjoy the film?" --- You turn around and it's Anthony Hopkins.. Hollywood legend says that Hopkins did this several times when the movie was in theaters.. :)

20:10 Agent Starling remembered the missing skin on the victim they found in the river.

[@minnesotajones261]

Just like fabric/dress patterns.

[@RobertC4458]

That's because he ( "Buffalo Bill" ) WAS a dressmaker. They did NOT explain that too well in the movie. Guess they were afraid it'd slow the pace. In the brilliant NOVEL by Thomas Harris ( not that the movie didn't have its points of brilliance, too ) "Hannibal" asks "Clarice" if she can sew. She later remembers that and references her knowledge of sewing when she sees the dress in "Frederika Bimmel's" closet. She realizes that the marks on the dress are what is called - in sewing terms - "darts" ( see about: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dart_(sewing) , ) leading to her, both in the book and the movie, excitedly calling "Crawford" and telling him that "Buffalo Bill" is skilled at sewing, telling him that, "He's a tailor or a dressmaker-".

[@wesbeuning1733]

I watched it many times before I noticed that one of the only times she smiles is when the bug guy was asking her out, and he is with her at the reception at the end.

I strongly recommend the TV show "Mindhunter" after this. It actually shows how the FBI decided to even start the program of figuring out serial killers by interviewing serial killers.

[@grizzlygamer8891]

Lecter is a top notch psychiatrist and used to work for the FBI as a consultant profiler. This case is linked to past cases/previous patients of his. That's why he's so important to them. The mask he made was more of a hood and included the guys hair. You should read the books if you get a chance, they're good. If you want a good telling of the back story, check out the TV show Hannibal. It's excellent and stars Mads Mikkelsen, Lawrence Fishbourne and Gillian Anderson. With regard to you referring to Sir Anthony Hopkins as "this actor", made me chuckle a bit. You're young though so i'll let you off. You might recognise him as Odin in the Marvel Universe or as Dr Ford in the Westworld TV show for recent work. His career has spanned something like 50 years and he's done a lot of good stuff. He can play anything from psychotic killer with scary as f&%k eyes to gentle, with the kindest eyes you'll ever see. I would recommend checking out the following older movies with him in: - The Worlds Fastest Indian (Good, wholesome family movie) - All Creatures Great and Small (Again, a family film) - A Bridge Too Far (One of the best WWII movies in existence) - Bram Stokers Dracula (Not so much one for the kids 🤣)
