![]() Still, at the moment, I'm not really feeling the chill anymore, but that doesn't mean that this is a bad film. Well, I say that now, but after this film cools-down in my memory, I'm gonna think back to that scene in "Hannibal" where he casually escorts a strapped-down man to a balcony, eviscerates him and then hangs him off of the balcony so his guts will fall out and think differently. Of course, Hannibal Lecter's an entirely different type of dark, so whereas everyone can get over Batman's cheesy backstory (As overrated as the "Nolan Batman" series is, I have to agree that I can get over that) Lecter's backstory completely dilutes the darkness, brilliance and mystery that made him so chilling. First it was Batman and now it's Hannibal Lecter. ![]() We have these awesome, dark, gritty characters who have served as brooding icons for many years and then we get a backstory that crowbars samurais in, from out of no where and then everything starts to corn up. ![]() Rating: R (Some Language|Sexual References|Strong Grisly Violent Content) ![]() ![]() An aptitude for science helps Hannibal gain acceptance to medical school, where he hones the skills he needs to exact revenge for the atrocities he witnessed. He learns his uncle is dead, but the man's mysterious Japanese widow, Lady Murasaki (Gong Li) welcomes him nonetheless. After witnessing the violent deaths of his parents at the end of World War II, young Hannibal Lecter (Gaspard Ulliel) flees to his uncle's home in Paris. ![]()
