It's interesting that your memory focuses on what the men were doing, and hers on the woman's hero story.
I liked the Hannibal TV show (at the time). Is it worse than I remember?
- tombert 2y agoI think about Clarice's character growth a lot as well, I was just bringing up the sexism stuff because I thought it was relevant to the article. Clarice's character growth is (brilliantly) almost spoiled by the movie's title; the lambs screaming in her head symbolize a sense of failure and guilt that she's carried for her entire life; stopping Buffalo Bill, if only for a moment, made the metaphorical lambs silent. I got pretty bored with the TV show, it just kind of kept going. It also felt like they kept acting Will Graham like had a superpower just because he had empathy for serial killers? My wife and I got almost exactly halfway through the series, and eventually I asked her "do we really want to keep watching this?" and she said "nope" and we turned on something else. Also, I'm pretty annoyed that they decided to double-down on Hannibal's samurai origin story from Hannibal Rising, which I thought was pretty dumb.
