Btw "Hannibal Rising" is not a bad movie.. Great visuals, which bring out the right atmosphere.. The story should have had more going on though.. I wanted to know more about what could have driven someone (in this case, Hannibal Lecter) to turn into this man-eating monster.. The idea of this man-eating monster is not meant to be all gory.. At least I hope the gore is not what all the Hannibal fans are after.. Haha no lah.. Hannibal Lecter may be a man-eating monster, but he is damn brilliant.. He's got a brilliant mind, too bad his mind is also warped..

In "Hannibal Rising", it is only such that young Hannibal Lecter witnessed his little sister being dragged away to be eaten, because a group of men needed to eat something anyway, in order to survive a guerilla war.. Hmm.. Ordinary men suddenly thinking of eating human flesh because of wanting to survive a war.. Not a really good development to explain why Hannibal Lecter became what he is.. In my point of view, that is.. This was the reason the writer of the Hannibal novel series thought of? Thomas Harris is the writer.. Sure, it fits the bill.. What else could have driven Hannibal Lecter to become a cannibal if he hadn't witnessed cannibalism himself? But it seems somewhat odd to have the group of ordinary men suddenly decide to eat a little girl.. Pardon me for saying these things bluntly.. Lolx.. But of course, it can be said that the men were made quite insane by the war.. And I'll say, still it isn't such a good story development.. And this can go on and on.. But let's just stop here ^^

Watch the movie for young Hannibal Lecter's performance though! Fantastic performance.. He brings out perfectly the feeling of being cold and SHARP.. His looks are chiselled.. Which is fitting for the movie.. But that's the surface meaning of the sharp description I'm using here.. His glare and everything will also make your blood run cold, and it'll be as though the atmosphere has a knife cutting through.. Which is a spot on for this movie of course.. One would think of sharp knives and ferocious glares and all, on mentioning this movie right.. Can even imagine the spine-chilling metallic sound produced with one knife running against the edge of another.. So this movie does score in terms of atmosphere..

I've blogged longer than I had planned again.. Going off now! Take a look at the pics below.. Convince you to watch the movie already? Haha

Oh I have one more thing to add.. I just saw a comment someone wrote on the IMDb website (i.e.Internet Movie Database), and this person said how can others think young Hannibal Lecter is hot when he eats people's faces.. Yeah ok.. But I'm guessing it's his intensity in the movie which makes him look hot.. Yeap that's right ^^

Intensity almost always looks hot.. Righty?






/ believe in wonderland,
with you in my mind
it's not that hard to believe
i'm in wonderland
and that's where I am
only a place to where we know
and never escape into reality
plunge into a fantasy

just about my love
