Who is Hannibal? Why are there so many movies about him?

Dr. Hannibal Lecter

Creator: Thomas Harris

The protagonist of the famous psychological movie "The Silence of the Lambs", both The psychiatrist is also an ogre, played by Anthony Hopkins.

Hannibal Lecter (born in Lithuania, his father was a count, his title can be traced back to the 10th century; his mother came from a famous Italian family, a viscount family. When the Germans retreated from the Soviet Union, Nazi armor bombarded their estate near Vilnius from the road, killing his parents and most of the servants, and then the children, two of them, Hannibal and he. In 1944, the war destroyed their farm and the Nazis killed Hannibal's parents. Hannibal and his sister Misha were caught by a group of deserters speaking various languages ??and locked up in winter. , there was so little food, Hannibal witnessed this group of extremely hungry people grabbing a wounded deer and cutting off its head with an axe. Later, they took away Hannibal's 2-year-old sister Misha. (Misa Lecter), and chopped her to death like a deer... At that moment, Hannibal felt that a string deep in his soul was plucked, and a stubborn psychological knot formed in his heart. He always imagined Misha will be able to live one day and do all kinds of bizarre things because of this imagination.

The "Silence of the Lambs" tetralogy includes "The Silence of the Lambs", "Hannibal", and "Silence of the Lambs". "Red Dragon" and "Young Hannibal" are all adapted into movies based on Thomas Harris's novel of the same name. According to the chronological order in the novel, "Red Dragon" should be the earliest, telling the story of Dr. Lecter's early experience. It is "Silence of the Lambs", telling the story of Clyte and female agent Clarice (Claries Starling) working together to capture "Buffalo Bill". The last "Hannibal" tells the story of Hannibal Lecter after he escapes. In this new adventure, he and Clarisse finally get married and both escape. Many people regard Lecter Hannibal as a cold-blooded killer and think he is a complete pervert. A good way to put him out of the "our" camp in one fell swoop. But if you really think that, "The Silence of the Lambs" is no different from other horror movies, then why do many people have vague hopes when watching the first film. When Clarisse and Lecter finally get together, why do they realize that there is a vague love between them? Why does everyone secretly hope that Dr. Lecter can finally escape the law and continue to live freely in this world? Therefore, I don’t think the "Silence of the Lambs" series is a story about perverted killing. It is about the hidden parts of the human heart and those subtle emotions.

"Young Hannibal". It is adapted from the new novel by Thomas Harris, the original author of the "Hannibal" series. Gong Li will play the role of "Lady Murasaki" from Japan, the cultural teacher of young Hannibal. In war-torn Lithuania, young Hannibal witnessed his sister being killed and eaten alive by hungry soldiers on the battlefield, and he suffered a mental mutation under the horrific horror.
