Talk:Hannibal Lecter/Archive 1

message: While I agree that the character, as written by Harris, does not fit the label "sociopath" very well, Harris identifies him as one, and so he should be listed under the category.

message: The bit about Lecter showing "sadism towards animals" in Red Dragon - in the movie, doesn't that refer to Francis "Tooth Fairy" Dollarhyde?
:The book does say that it was Hannibal, I have linked it. --Oldak Quill 19:06, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Who's the sadist? 

message: I thought Benjamim Raspail was killed by his lover? That's what it says on Silence of the Lambs (as well the movie).
-In the novel of 'Silence of the Lambs', Benjamin Raspail is on Dr.Lecter's couch having a doctor-patient session when Lecter stabs him through the heart with a stiletto type blade or letter opener. Lecter lies when he claims it was Raspail's lover who committed the murder.
* it was Jame Gumb who killed Raspail's lover (the head in the car), then Lecter killed Raspail (according to the Silence of the Lambs book) (131.130.121.106 09:18, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's an inconsistency in the films.  in Red Dragon, it's clearly Hannibal who kills him, and it's also mentioned in Hannibalbut in Silence of the Lambs, they say about the moth that it is "just like the one we found in Raspail's head an hour ago", meaning Buffalo Bill killed him.  It's an inconsistency, and I pointed it out in a recent edit, but if you feel I got it wrong, please edit and discuss, because I'd love to hear if I'm wrong on this (the movies were perfect in so many other ways that I'd be delighted to hear they were right) Karwynn 20:12, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

text: I think it's possible that he was killed by Dr. Lecter but he framed Bill with the moth.  Also, hair grows even after death as well as the nails at a quite accelerated pace and since Raspail had been dead for about eight years in Silence of the Lambs his hair could have grown in that time. 64.12.116.203 19:58, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The only thing I'm going to say to that is that hair and nails do not grow after death, that's a common misconception. It's actually the skin that does the size change and what it does is shrink, making it appear as though the hair and nails have grown. Also, the head was in a jar of phamaldahide, or something similar, since it was so well preserved for something that was 8 years old (as you said). Bignole 20:12, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Benjamin Raspail 

message: "Lecter killed at least nine people before his capture. He had three other known victims who survived, including Will Graham, an FBI profiler who was Lecter's captor and who figures largely in Red Dragon. Another one of these, Mason Verger, figures largely in the plot of Hannibal.
Only two of the twelve victims are known by name in the books: Benjamin Raspail and Verger."
I am no expert on the subject, but according to the first paragraph were not three of the victims known by name, the third being Will Graham?
:That seems strange to me also. I don't know much about the books, so hopefully somebody who is an expert on them can fix it.--kenb215 16:11, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  How many known victims? 

message: "It is unknown whether he killed Dr. Chilton, although he went missing soon after Lecter's escape."  
I am pretty sure that Lecter sought out to kill Chilton, but Chilton died of a heart attack before Hannibal could get to him (in the novel Hannibal)
:The book implies Hannibal got him. It states that he goes missing and is never found. --Oldak Quill 19:09, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Did Hannibal murder Chilton? 

message: Starling is not Hannibal's nemesis, so I changed it, and opened up a talk if anyone objects.  I just think it's oversimplification and overdramatization of their relationship.  Besides, what about the friendliness?  Even if they were sometimes opponenents, I don't think they were ever really enemies.  Karwynn 20:17, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  His "nemesis" 

message: what the fuck does the Chandler Bing quote have to do with ANYTHING? I'm sure many quotes have been made about Lecter in popular culture, why is the friends one special enough to mention? Like much of friends, its not even funny.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.211.88.147 (talk • contribs)

thread_title: Friends?!?

message: I uploaded a new pic from Behind the Mask of Hannibal and his sister for the first article as I think it better represents his past. I moved down the Gaspard Ulliel pic but I couldn't find a good spot for it. I've temporarily removed but once Behind the Mask comes out and the section is extended I think it can be returned. But in the meantime, if someone else finds a good spot for it, go ahead.--CyberGhostface 22:10, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The link in the Hannibal template redirects to Hannibal Barca, not Hannibal Lecter. Can someone change this?

thread_title:  Editing "Hannibal" in the Hannibal template 

message: I started to read the article (after having read a few pages of the Hannibal Rising novel) but stopped incase the article contained any spoilers. If it does would someone please add one of the Spoiler warning templates to the page? Ta.GiollaUidir 16:01, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
