Hannibal rising
Release date : 9th February 2007
Genre: thriller
Duration: 121 minutes/131 minutes (unrated ver.)
I’m really looking forward for this movie for it is a prequel for my first movie review, The silence of the lambs.
Seeing Hannibal Lecter as a kid surely excites me, im starting to imagine how he could psycho-talk the people around him, what turns him into such a smart-mouth, his first kill.
Hannibal Lecter first kill
But…it turns out quite the opposite. For me, this movie kinda ruin the image of Hannibal Lecter which I had embedded during my period of watching TSOTL.
It potrays the beginning of Hannibal Lecter as purely revenge on his eaten sister, Miscah. Which were eaten during the war when they were hiding after their parent were killed during a clash between Hitler army and the German army.
Before Miscah were eaten, due to starvation, the Hitler army finally resort to cannibalism. Yuck!
Poor Micsah
When he grow up, he starting to find each of the person responsible in killing Miscah. Killed them one by one. Kinda like a normal thriller movie to me. Kill this, kill that, smile. But with no smart idea on how to first lure their victim, his motive is not clear enough.
Gaspard Ulliel does not potrays what I believe to be the key factor of Hannibal Lecter. His stare and his speech. He does not have that. His eye is not blue and not wide enough, his speech is presented in more like Bella in Twillight, always painful, screechy kind of voice.
Teenager Hannibal Lecter
Rhys Ifans,Richard Blake, Ivan Marevich, Kevin McKidd, Stephen Martin Walters, and Goran Kostic, all killed by Lecter
I don’t like how the director trying to connect Hannibal lecter to the Japanese art of swordfight, Kenpo.wtf??
kenpo??wtf!
But Gong Li is gorgeous in this movie, I would like to have a hot auntie like that too! Kidding.hahaha
Gong Li as Lady Murasaki
Overall, I give this movie a rating of 3.5 out of 5. For its director effort and brilliant cinematography. The scene is wonderful, camera angle is awesome. We could see what technology could do by comparing TSOTL and Hannibal rising.
amazing cinematography! *i dont even know what that means. =p
Girlfriend alert!
this is a good movie to bring your girlfriend with, kinda like an easy understandable movie but dont tell her that it is a prequel to another movie. let her enjoy the movie as it is.
and to you, as your brain teaser, try to relate this movie to TSOTL and go on download Red Dragon, Hannibal or if you dont yet watch TSOTL, go ahead and see it first. you'll get what i meant in this post. =)
but seriously, no kids is allowed. 18+ only okay! play safe! =p
happy watching,
sincerely yours,
Mr. MovieMogi
