Hannibal vs Dexter (Part 3) : Construction character

 
This level of comparison, perhaps the most interesting, is closely related to two ways, so different as to seem almost antithetical, to tell the bad.
 Hannibal is part of that trend that has evil through a mask so attractive to the point of dropping the viewer into the abyss. The charm of the evil protagonist is so strong that it can almost hide the destructive role he's playing. The feeling you have in front of a character like Hannibal Lecter is to be ahead of the other part of the reality, the bad part of the world that, as we try to avoid, and there is in our midst; the dark side of the moon before which often we tend to close our eyes to exclude its presence, but of which we can not help but feel its weight.



With Dexter's speech takes a completely different twist .. Dexter creates an intense empathic connection with the viewer, who unwittingly finds himself to root for a serial killer who, instinctively, he can not see the creepy side.
Having put on the table covered with plastic only criminals and showing us the careful investigation that led him to choose the victims, has meant that the public has focused more on the criminal, which he knows in detail the monstrosity of the crimes, which the protagonist, who in perspective becomes instinctual one who frees the world from the bad.




 A rational level changes the perception point of view, but it is precisely in the coexistence of these conflicting impulses (which Dexter creates in the viewer) that is the greatest strength of this twisted character. The identification, which takes place with the main character, creates a point of constant demand of what is right and what is wrong, and often these questions you can not provide any definitive answer; a feeling perhaps disorienting, but definitely alive. And it is for this strong feeling that the victory goes to Dexter that despite the slips of the last years, will remain one of the best characters created in recent years in the world of television.

Relive The Mentalist - "Red Hair and Silver Tape"

In the beginning was Remington Steele, at least in memory of the writer, that marked the title of each of its 96 episodes with puns on Steel (steel) and the like; then came The L-Word, where all the titles begin, of course, with the letter L.
Surely then they will not be playing a few series by titrating the individual episodes with themes and words occurring.
The mentalist chose red as the thread of his narrative (it is the key color of the assassin who killed the family of the protagonist) and its securities.

For this second episode, the keys are the enigma red hair and duct tape and, with this second episode, the series of Bruno Heller confirms the good quality of his scripts and its characters, not adding anything special, but smoothing some of the defects of the pilot.


The prologue, in addition to launching the narrative, of course, serves to define the capacity of the protagonist.
The episode is centered on one of the cornerstones of the new youth culture neocons, chastity ring, must find a concrete direction from having to follow for the rest the season - if not the series - and does it in a more than decent, improving the relationship between Patrick and his colleagues, especially the beautiful Teresa.





And the thread that binds the incidents and investigations, we must admit, seems to have already tied too.

Relive the mentalist 1x01

Some might think that, turns you turn around, the series are all more or less equal, based more or less on the same themes, patterns, concepts at best. And perhaps it would be wrong: this time, thanks to CBS, we are faced with a detective, but not an official agent, but one of those who work outside, you can see every detail and study and analyze human behavior to deduce illuminating investigative hypotheses. And someone must have thought Monk. In addition, the protagonist of this series is mistaken for a psychic, and in fact for a while 'there someone thought Psych.
Patrick Jane is an assistant police, the sharp mind and the eye along, th
at as the old Sherlock Holmes deduces the truth or by particular attitudes: after a period of enforced break, back to help out the team of detectives Lisbon, also because the new case to be addressed is related to Red John, a serial killer who has broken his past.

From now I would like to start talking about the show that more than any other I've hit and passionate, now that many of you have seen it come to an end and want to relive it or to those of you who, perhaps, have yet to see it. Do it.
