i’ve been rewatching hannibal lately and i’m genuinely fucking befuddled these two are the way they are. like this extremely fragile goddamn FBI profiler suddenly darkens your doorstep and you, a cannibal serial killer, take one look at him and are immediately like “i will make you mine if it is the last damned thing i do” and then you both embark in a weird dark psycho-sexual relationship and literally no one around you has any idea what’s going on between you two for the longest time
I like explaining Hannibal to my friends. Like yeah, Will fucked a lesbian. Then that lesbians creepy brother put her uterus in a pig. Then her and her future wife fed him to his pet eel. Yeah this is a serious show, why do you ask?
one of my favourite fantastical details in hannibal is just how how unbelievable will graham's classical beauty is like sure that man is a fishing fbi loner nerd?. love it because it adds to the gothic romance of it all watching this dude with his face carved by angels, lose his mind looking like a horny oil painting during every horrific scene. honestly by the dolarhyde calls him 'not very handsome' and we cut to hugh dancy, voted the prettiest girl at oxford, it's just funny
one of the funniest scenes in hannibal is jimmy price naming all the organs the victims were missing while it cuts to those mentioned organs in hannibal’s kitchen and the best bit is “this guy is missing a spleen. a spleen!! who the hell gets a spleen transplant??” and immediately cut to hannibal’s blender with the spleen going BZZZZZZZZZ i lose it every fucking time
this poor kid. your dad dies, and your mom remarries. your step-dad is cool! he teaches you how to fish and he brings home a bunch of dogs! fast forward a little bit and it turns out your cool step-dad is locked in a psychosexual viscera-filled chess game with a bisexual cannibal. like what do you even do about that.
still can not get over the sheer comedy of using mozarts lacrimosa in the scene where hannibal is sad that will missed his appointment. bpd queen. i, too, have felt shunned by my current obsession, resigning myself to dramatic tragedy and sitting alone in a dark room
SAG-AFTRA: Conversations with Hugh Dancy of HANNIBAL
Hugh: Episode 1 is like, we’re flung together and I resent him. I mean it’s a classic rom-com set up actually. (Laughs). And the 2nd episode, we go through 3 scenes of so-called therapy.
Hugh: You see these 2 people, particularly Will, really having a good time. Even just by the end of the 1st episode, we’d already established that he didn’t have a very good time very often. And that remains true that they genuinely like each other. They love each other, actually...
