I just read Hannibal Rising. The story is the backround story for Hannibal supposedly becoming a "monster killer". The probelem lies in that the story makes him human - a boy turned man, out to get revenge on those who killed his entire family in what seems to me very unhuman and monsterous ways. Seems reasonable to me. He does divert into killing to defend others he loves against what could be argued as those with less than human qualities. In other words he developes a desire to get the bullies in life. Though his methods are extreem, so were his experiences which set the stage for the "movie" he chose to be his life - one where he is not a vicim of the bullies of life. And THAT is the story of Hannibal. It is not a story about a "serial killer", per se. Totally dissapointed in and annoyed with the book and the author, I will avoid the movie and forget I ever read it so I can still be thrilled by his other books and movies about the enigma of heartless, soulless, mindless killers.
What would have worked was a story about the human gone "bad" for understandable reasons which were understood by those who knew his story, but those characters in the book betrayed him and chose to call him a monster. It was a shock to watch them turn their backs on him. I feel for Hannibal, and I cannot judge him as he is judged in this novel by the author nor those characters close to him. I am sad for him. Am I the only one to feel his pain?Crewella 20:30, 11 January 2007 (UTC)( 132.160.66.62 20:11, 11 January 2007 (UTC)(jennwilds@yahoo.com)1/11/07 132.160.66.62 20:11, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
How great an idea is it to spoil the ending of Hannibal?
Not good it makes people want to read when they are so into the book once you ruin it they won't read it anymore.
More people hated Hannibal than loved it? Based on what? The film made over $400 million around the world. It has a 6.3 rating on imdb (which doesn't sound that impressive but it means more people thought it was good than bad). Scott197827 19/2/2006
- I edited the article to remove the POV and the spoiler.

Why is there no mention of the "Red Dragon" movie adaption of Red Dragon (not Manhunter) starring Edward Norton? --Just some random guy who is too lazy to make an account
[edit] Police beat
Does anyone here know what 'covering the police beat' means? I'd really like to know. Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ACAbrahams (talk • contribs) 09:19, 10 May 2007 (UTC).
