The Truth About Hannibal Lecter's Backstory Revealed

One of the killers in the 1996 film Scream claims that motive in horror is unimportant, pointing out that we don’t know why Hannibal Lecter is a cannibal in The Silence of the Lambs. At the time, it was true, but author Thomas Harris did eventually decide to give us the answer with Hannibal Rising in 2006, and it is a pretty horrifying prequel.
However, when the story of the cannibal serial killer was brought to TV in the show Hannibal, Bryan Fuller decided to change his backstory considerably. Let’s take a look at the truth about Hannibal Lecter’s backstory.

[@AraClaire]

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*

[@justinobuscape7031]

@@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.

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.

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.

[@georgecopeland5426]

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.

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.

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 think the escape scene in The Silence of The Lambs is one of the best scenes of any movie ever!

[@juliuspeters5052]

Can somebody please tell me the name of the background music playing?

[@koreanbigminion564]

2:55 , I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about that line.

It would be wonderful if Mr. Harris continued writing the Lecter stories. A follow-up to 2001's "Hannibal" would be fitting.

[@Jim-pq9pm]

Would be cool. Maybe bring Will Graham back again.

[@annikaki8305]

@@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.

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!

The book I read about young hannibal, was the red army taping his sister and mother, on the road to Berlin.

[@wellick7863]

Anyone else still thinking about the ending of Hannibal(tv show)..cause like...wow...

[@jayeiychoi1805]

Hanninal rising is sooo good yall should watch it. The actor is STRANGELY hot

[@alexsveles343]

The relationship between lectern and Lady murisaci was potent.its strongly implied that it was much deeper than stepmother stepson

[@hattorihanzo2705]

Hannibal Rising was a great movie in my personal opinion.

[@tagjr9744]

Anyone know what the background music is?

[@missm5732]

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

[@suomiapina89]

he was first but mikkelsen was far better

@@suomiapina89 lmao hell nah don't even try to fight me

[@richarda.d.9745]

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.

[@baguette3025]

They're both great in their own ways, Anthony for the iconic creepiness and Mads for the sophisticated/elegant style

[@anomienormie8126]

“Revealed” lol

[@icarus.6210]

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

[@baguette3025]

Mute means he couldn't speak properly due to trauma or throat damage, but he could still understand/read/write multiple languages

[@mikaelmyers6135]

Hannibal was selectively mute-he could speak but he chose not to.

[@alexciaanderson1696]

What's the names of all the movies?

[@matigaps9584]

i want to watch silence of the lamb and hannibal..upload pls

[@thotlordsm5v103]

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.

[@forensicsciencefan5645]

Dr. Chilton "happened to be vacationing in the Bahamas"??? From the Silence of the Lambs film, I got the impression that he had gone there to hide out from the now escaped Dr. Lecter.

[@brothersgaminglithuania3862]

I live near there and was exploring the lace and heard something fall and i bolted it's super scary

[@jonath1982]

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.

Hannibal's escape from jail is a la Edward Dantes.
