Hannibal Season 1 - Is the game worth the candle?

About Hannibal                                                                                                              English Version:

Hannibal Lecter: a name and a legend, a character who can still give to the history of cinema?

So Hannibal - the series. These, one of the characters I most appreciated in the books of Thomas Harris and films, also about Anthony Hopkins (in 1992 thanks to the interpretation of Hannibal won the Oscar for best actor in "Silence of the Lambs.") But... Can we go to treat one of the cult of world cinema? My skepticism is especially to want to represent again the general public, a complex figure like that of Hannibal, to the surprise Bryan Fuller, has achieved this objective totally.
But one thing at a time.




Will Graham

The actor known for his starring of Edwards Norton in Red Dragon, he is a professor and expert profile able, through a high sense of empathy, to identify himself with the serial killer, so as to have an identity crisis and distortions of reality.











Hannibal

Mads Mikkelses, an actor who is able to identify himself to the perfection of the figure of Hannibal,
shows all the characteristics of sociopaths and skillful strategists
(just to see him to have dinner, it's worth  40 minute episode applies).

                                                                                   
                                                                                    Second characters

The characters of Alana, psychologist and dear friend of Hannibal, and Jack, cop of the FBI, which is responsible for the fate of our Will, are no less central in the episode. Despite being on the side of "good", both have their own responsibility in the defeat of Will. If Alana has the guilt of having invited Hannibal within the game, Jack led Will constantly near a crisis mental and psychological, constantly constrain him to participate in an active and conscious on
crime scenes.




(Relationship Will - Alana)

We could not miss, even if reduced, the feeling of love that in this case Will falls for her friend psychologist: Alana Bloom. Reciprocated? Yes, the evolution of the character of the woman will be very important for the choices and the future of Will as it replaces the strong feelings, but she is aware of the high risks.
Obviously, for the moment. Sure that it will reopen the topic, perhaps in situations better mental stability for the profiler.

                                                                                                        Mental manipulation of Hannibal

Can be seen, right from the start of the season, that Hannibal is superior in every aspect compared to the characters in the series. The only one who can really give him a hard time, but Will is that most of the time focused on "fight" against himself. Against those dreams and hallucinations that will make it one of the victims of the teacher in the art of manipulation as Hannibal.

Is the game worth the candle?

After finishing the first season of Hannibal would describe as the perfect representation of reality pathological. Evil has its own logic, evil is justified by the pathology and psychology of the characters. A fantastic technique that goes far beyond the star to which the viewer becomes attached as a psychopathic killer. This telefilm cancels polarization bad-well, goes far beyond the historical significance and moral, and deepen in psychology as a few shows.
The real star of these 13 episodes is she, the psychology that is the host of the scene for each episode, teaches a variety to those of psychology they know only the best known traits. Worth delve into the world of Hannibal, the curiosity that keeps some not obsessive, but is present in every episode. Nothing seems to be emphasized, they manage to make it realistic, thanks to the simplicity of the scenes and not the obsessive search of twists (despite the constant presence).


But are there  weaknesses in this first season?
I love realism in the round of the characters, scenes, history, the succession of events and in some instances I find that some aspects are not then, totally believable reality.



How many serial killers are discovered in such a short time?

Unrealistic, despite the skill of our profiler, the ease at which the different episodes, the killers are found and arrested or killed.
The show wants to teach us how the figure of the psychopath is one of the most complex and fascinating by Hannibal; not only by himself but also, Hannibal is an expert in psychology, through his teachings. I stop to think if the only psychopath series clever not to be flush and hide their tracks is only our protagonist. - Quantity of serial killer? But there are areas where you centralize higher numbers of psychopaths, here you really borders on madness.





But I'm not second thoughts as I write, the ability of our director Bryan Fuller to make a truthful and realistic figure of Hannibal is amazing and approaches perfection, the way it was built, forcing the viewer to imagine the mentality of sociopath man never, or almost, find out the moment of truth; Hannibal appears as the distinguished psychiatrist and not as the murderer Hannibal in almost all the series, a very innovative technique. The dualism between Will and Hannibal is one of the finest ever. the scenery and the macabre scenes come together to provide a show that deserves the attention of the most, despite some lack realism, what still hard to avoid.


<<Hello Will>>
<<Hello Dr.Lecter>>


"No one can't know another person, unless you love. With love we can see the potential in our beloved. Through that love, so that we do able to see their potential.
Expressing that love...the potential of our beloved, becomes real. "- Hannibal Lecter



Curiosity

This first season is based on the backstory of Will Graham in Red Dragon, and his excessive involvement in the investigation of the "Minnesota Shrike" that led him to a psychiatric prison.
