I was never scared of his character, I was intrigued by his intellectual knowledge and his keen talent for smell. The way he managed to make the encounter with strangers so bone chilling, he could analyze them in a second. Hannibal to me was a very sane doctor but he was not a sane man. I think to understand the type of person he was you had to go back to the beginning which is why I decided to watch one of the last movies of the series, which is the first to answer why. I watched all of the movie series, but chose solely to focus on Hannibal rising, which is the movie based on Hannibal’s child hood. Or there could be speculation that because Hannibal knew that murder was wrong he instead pretended to be insane to bring attention to himself. I don’t think the movie does a justifying job of identifying the mental illness he had. Yes we witness the trauma he endured but we never fully get to observe the different symptoms and the stages of development to his illness. Revenge was his source of his first murders but the ones that came after were sporadic and had no relevancy. A dated timeline would have been a better choice for the viewer, because just saying “some years later” is not specific enough. We have a middle and end to the story but I think the plot fell off a little, but Hannibal Lecter will remain one of favorite characters, and
