  Only Sir Anthony Hopkins can win an Oscar with a role that has less than 20 minutes of screen time.

  I think it&apos;s too simple to call Dr Lecter&apos;s feelings for Misha love. Those feelings are much more complicated and confused. &nbsp;Let&apos;s not forget that he ate Misha, and that saved him from starving to death, and as such tasted better than anything else, before or after. That he didn&apos;t know at the time that he was eating his sister and thereby saving his own life, has resulted in a very complex mental trauma, mixing guilt, revulsion &nbsp;and hate with the wonderful feeling of finally eating and surviving starvation. I believe that&apos;s why he goes to such lengths to create wonderful human dishes to serve his friends, thereby possibly alleviating his own sense of guilt by eliciting pleasure and adulation from his dinner guests who love the meal when being unaware of what they were actually consuming. A bit like: &quot;See, you like it too&quot; to make himself feel less like a monster.

  Two cannibals were eating a clown, one cannibal said to the other: Does this taste funny to you?

  “The Vile Eye tried to analyze me once. I commented on his video, with a like, and subscription.”

  Hopkins described Lecter as the &quot;Robin Hood of killers&quot;, who kills &quot;the terminally rude&quot;.

  I think Hannibals greatest weapon is in fact his ability to empathize. As you might know clinical psychopaths lack the ability to truly empathize so that immediately scratches that off the list. In the book Red Dragon Chilton tells Graham that no one is really able to categorize him before Graham meets Hannibal for the first time since he had caught him. He says he shares many traits with a sociopath but isn&apos;t quite that either. It is truly fascinating how no one can ever truly put a finger on him, but everybody he encounters is an open book to him. What a fascinating and fantastic character.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct7KDCa0ui8&amp;t=2529">42:09</a> &quot;None of these victims are fleshed out.&quot; I disagree. I think Dr. Lector fleshes out quite a few of his victims.

  Terrifying for me is the fact that <br>Dr. Lecter rarely, if ever, <br>lends himself to fits of anger.<br>Hopkins portrayal is Brilliant.

  Both Mads Mikkelsen and Anthony Hopkins masterfully portrayed their respective versions of Hannibal, but personally I find Mads&apos;s version slightly more terrifying. &nbsp;There&apos;s something bone chilling about how nonchalantly he carries out the most horrific actions, pulling strings on a grand scale with cold and calculated precision. It&apos;s also that the series gives him time to be fleshed out as a more adaptation-faithful character, which allows Mads to play a Lecter with more depth than the Silence of the Lambs version.
