BEFORE YOU COMMENT READ THIS: I hope you like this vid. I was hoping to make a longer video and do it in several parts and be able to show longer periods of dialogue between Hannibal and Clarice but it kept being flagged. I also had to exclude scenes where the video would immediately get demonestised (we all know which types of scenes they would be). However, I hope what's here triggers some interesting discussions about mental health topics xxx
Check out my reaction to Bojack Horseman: • DOCTOR REACTS TO BOJAC...
It's a Sin reviews: • DOCTOR REACTS TO IT'S ...
The response to my analysis of Hannibal (the TV show) was amazing. This doctor REACTS video is checking out one of the original Hannibal films, The Silence of the Lambs. Across the film we'll look at what psychopathy actually is, some of the interesting dynamics between Clarise and Hannibal, some psychoanalytical theories underpinning cannibalism, doctor-patient confidentiality, risk assessment and more!
Let me know what you think!

"Why does he eat?" Well frankly, if you're called Hannibal, then cannibal is going to be an obvious career choice.
As long as crossing the Alps into Northern Italy with an invasion army never panned out.
@@ericstoverink6579 Getting the necessary elephants for that plan is the hard part.
I may be falling into a trap of attempting to inform the informed but the book Hanninal Rising and the film kind of speak to his actions later on in life.
*chef’s kiss*
@Eric Stoverink well actually it did, and he could have taken rome. He was forced to withdraw and return to try and defend carthage.
As a Fannibal, I would just like to say THANK YOU for both for this and for the first video. Your reaction of our show drew me to your channel, and your great content will forever keep me a subscriber. Thank you so much for bringing mental health awareness in a respectful, and realistic manner. I cannot say thank you enough to you, your great channel, and your amazing community! Until next time, Crack On
"Fannibal"? .....as in a fan of Hannibal, or the whole story of Hannibal? books or movies or just the show? Just never heard that term before so I'm curious.
Fannibal yes as in Fan of Hannibal, in particular the show. But I enjoyed the Thomas Harris Books and the De Laurentiis films. We are a very active on twitter and other platforms. We also host watch parties of many of the newer projects with the cast of Hannibal such as Mads Mikkelsen & Hugh Dancy. We really are a family located all over the world. I hope that explained our little piece of the internet.
I was coming into the comments to say just this, but you've worded it beautifully! So I'll throw in my own thank you!!! And I can't wait to see more Hannibal analysis on this channel!
Thank you so very much for this!
@2:49 I think you misinterpreted what happens. He says, "He's much too sophisticated for the standard tests...[he] thinks I'm his nemesis." The reality is Hannibal Lecter probably thinks that guy is so beneath him, he probably doesn't even consider him anything close to his equal let alone a formidable adversary. What we see here is the hubris of that person thinking he is as smart as Lecter, which is not the case.
But what I love about this TH-camr is he will definitely read and reflect and consider that!
"going straight for the meat is probably the wrong word"
Oh my god
I'm glad you picked up on how there's feelings of paternalism, then sexual desire, towards Clarice from Hannibal. From what I've read there's a lot of subtext/themes of Clarice being treated poorly for being a woman, yet it's the fact she's a woman (and is willing to become vulnerable/risk herself to help save others, her upstanding sense of justice/wanting to do things right) which ends up making him form some sort of attachment to her. Unlike the men in the story, where they attempt to use Hannibal or treat him less than human, she tries to speak to him as an equal. The romantic feelings, at least in the original books, went both ways with Clarice eventually allowing him to escape because she realized she loved him AND realizing he was the only man in her entire life to have treated her as his own equal.
There was also a really good part where he asks her what she's so scared of, and asks if it was because her father sexually assaulted her. Instead, she replies that she wasn't harmed, but instead tried to run away with a lamb because she felt so sad for it, and her trauma comes from being caught by her father where the lamb was sent to slaughter despite her efforts. It would have been easy for her to lie and say yes, it was sexual abuse, and use that as a way to try to trick him into helping, but instead she opened up and was fully honest even if to the audience it sounds a bit silly and not all that traumatic. Hannibal must have felt some sort of elation in being the only therapist/person she's ever told something so personal to, like he must have been the only one capable of doing it. It's super interesting, and I think the actors were chosen perfectly for the roles.
Agreed on the great acting. The story about the lamb is so poignant in the book. Still gives me chills
It wasn't her father. Her father was in law enforcement and had been killed in the line of duty, so she was sent to live with an aunt and uncle on the sheep ranch. So he was asking her if she ran away because the uncle abused her - but yes, she was still honest with him. I doubt it even occurred to her to lie at that point because she knew he would spot a lie, and she was desperate for more information to save Catherine.
"behavioral science is iffy" *30 seconds later* "You know Freud once said.."
lol
Doctor Chilton: "Hannibal Lecter is impossible to understand, his motivations are a mystery."
Doctor Carthy: *Thoroughly breaks down the narcissistic traits that motivate Hannibal Lecter in less than 30 minutes*
Why does he eat? Well you see, when he was young he was tricked into eating his younger sister and got laughed at when he threw up after seeing her baby teeth in his soup.
So when he grew up he killed those who killed her and ate them as payback. And that became part of his pathology then.
He needs to react to Hannibal rising
Frankly I never bought into that. I thought it was too easy an out.
@@downunderrob Have you read the book? Nothing easy about it.
@FortheSakeoftheComments In Hannibal Rising? Being fed his little Sister! No, I still believe it was an easy way out. Yes, it could be used to explain why Lector prefers, "...free-range rude..." people.
But a revenge tour-de-force against the dregs of Humanity? I still think Thomas Harris took an easy path.
But I've long since been of the opinion that Lector didn't need to be explained. He was just the way he was, and you accepted that. He could not be explained by Rational means.
After being diagnosed with depression for 9 years, had multiple therapists etc, I’m pretty mad that this is the first time I’ve heard of ‘agitated depression’. Wow.
Edit: turns out I had ADHD. Diagnosed last week.
Hopefully a diagnose has opened the door for proper treatment 🤗
Having worked in MH for years, I learned quickly that therapists and doctors often overlook diagnoses that might fit someone's symptoms better because they just don't know about them. There are a handful of common diagnoses that get used often. For instance, when we used to acknowledge Axis 2 personality disorders, there was a TON of them, but only two were ever commonly diagnosed, and may be four were every used in my entire career. The rest were simply ignored, even when they fit better.
TLDR: Sometimes doctor's just guess.
I am a Fannibal myself, can't wait to see more react video to that show!
That TV show got so popular in China that we even gave the actor a nickname "拔叔", it means Uncle Ba, in which the "Ba" is from the translation of Hannibal's name.
He was so popular that on Bilibili (Chinese TH-cam), whenever a Chinese Bilibili-er talks about a movie featuring Hannibal's actor, the bullet chat will go wild. For example, when a Bilibili-er talks about the 007 movie, everyone was just like "Eat the 007 Uncle Ba, Eat Him!". And when he was in Dr. Strange, we got so worried that he'll eat Sherlock. And the bullet chat will shout "Run, 卷福 run!" (卷福 is Benedict Cumberbatch's nickname, it means Sherlock with the cute curly hair).
And His fanbase was so large in China that we even have fan arts and fan fictions and fan-made videos about his romantic relationship with his little teacup. Every time I see those two are presented on the screen in any BiliBili video, the bullet chat will be bombed with "在一起", which translates into a combination of "Be together" and "Get a roof".
I had no idea about this. Love hearing about fan culture all over!
You should review the entire Hannibal TV series, Mads and Will are some of the best acting I've ever seen!!
The script is more interesting for what's not written down than what is
It's fascinating in every aspect. It's like a masterclass on acting, filmmaking and screenwriting taught entirely through showing and not telling
I have ASPD, and I'm glad you specified that there is a difference in the disorder. It's on a spectrum, where some people have mild symptoms, but on the other side is the more severe- "sociopaths" and "psychopaths". Medically they are listed as ASPD, ASPD type 1, ASPD type 2. (Type 1 being the most severe, and 2 being less)
It's really sad how famous movies, TV, media etc in general really just throws ASPD and similar disorders around as if they are one thing only... personality disorders in general are often presented in very black and white manors even by professionals, which is so sad. So agree, even tho I don't have a PD but I study psychiatric nursing and had two whole days of lectures from a psychiatrists who was so shitty and spoke so badly about PD's that it made me so mad and frustrated as it can be so harmful for everyone, therefore having someone with the education to speak on it (bc let's be honest, those with the diagnosis no matter which one is often not seen as reliable sources 🤦🏽♀️) and actually say that ASPD is not just one thing - is so important. And as the doc said, yes many people who are serial killers can have AS traits or even the PD, but that's a veeery small percentage of all the people with ASPD, and very few with ASPD actually cross over into the more psychopathic and sociopathic traits. As most psychiatric diagnosis, there is a spectrum and no one is the same or will experience a disorder in the exact same way. Traits yes, but experience will differ. And, why I loved his explanation in the beginning of how profiling serial killers etc can easily boarder into stereotyping rather than actual psychiatric science... Like look at Ted Bundy compared to just about any other infamous serial killer. He was obviously showing psychopathic traits, but he was also very charismatic and charming. Even the judge during his trial expressed sadness of how he "took such wrong turns in life"... While people like Richard Ramirez or Ed Gein, Jeffrey Dahmer etc were never experienced that way. They were seen as scary, crazy and not sympathetic at all.. yet Ted Bundy did also kill and harm so many in grotesque manors... Not all serial killers will look the same, not all within same diagnosis will look the same, and being aware of how there are outliers in basically anything in life is very important. One person does not represent all with the same disorder. Sending you support ❤
@@KrisHe1 I had one psychologist ask me if they could trust anything I said because people with ASPD are known for being manipulative and lie all the time. I quickly dumped them. Like you said, a lot of serial killers have ASPD, but there are more people with the disorder who don't go out and hurt people/animals. Having low/no empathy and guilt doesn't automatically make someone "evil". Hopefully there will be accurate research within the near future, and people will understand how broad the disorder is- like you said, everyone is different.
@@random-faxts3873 i am sorry you have to experience this prejudice because I am guessing it is more common than we even dare to think of, but glad you dumped the asshole. Sadly many in psychiatric work thinks this way about all type A and B PDs... like I tried reporting the psychiatrists who had literally 12 hours total of lectures for us, who works as a head psychiatrists at the child and adolescence psychiatric outpatient unit, to the school/education leaders, but was basically told "well he has experience and those are valid, and he knows more than you". Like??? He literally said to a class of students for 12 hours spread out over two days, to not trust anyone with type A or B personality disorders, to not waste our time to try create a therapeutic relationship and there was no point in trying to "help people like that, because they will manipulate and harm you"... like what!? YOU are literally hurting EVERYONE with types A and B PDs when "teaching" students with most likely zero experience in psychiatric care to not meet people as HUMANS because they have a diagnosis. And the irony of educating us with such black and white opinions and views about disorders that usually have a common factor of struggling with black and white thinking, is the most insane level of irony I've ever experienced. I was so disgusted and felt hopeless bc I know so many in my class soak up everything lecturers say with no critical thinking, which will be so fucking harmful if they then end up working in that field. Like if you work in psychiatric care, 97% of the people you meet with PD's are there voluntarily because they want and need help. Not because it's some fun game for them and they actively seek out help just to harm people... But as a health care provider, I would be hurting the people I would be assumed to help because of how prejudice and wrong our lectures were on that topic... it's beyond me how that is acceptable. Like yes, you might end up with a bad therapeutic relationship as a result of how the PD makes someone experience you, your actions etc and bc the PD can make rational, long term thinking difficult. But it is RARELY an active choice from the person seeking help. And to treat everyone as basically bad people and criminals, is beyond wrong if you want to work within the field of psychiatry. It's ridiculous that it is even necessary to explain in a video like this, but sadly even the medical world has stupid, prejudicial and black/white views of a MASSIVE group of people with little actual science to back it up. I'm sorry you not only have to live with a PD (seeing how you're in therapy, I'm guessing it is not all easy for you. I'm in therapy for other stuff, but life is fucked up so...), but also manage to actually get help that is not only within what should be expected, but that is able to see the person behind the stereotypes... I'm sorry the world of psychiatry is still so far behind, as it does not help the general population's view on these types of disorders when even professionals can't put their own idiotic opinions past them to even give proper help..
Agreed. I had a v good friend once with ASPD. They were a good person. I often feel like people forget ASPD and NPD are caused by severe trauma.
@Ding Dong there are some of us out here who don't want to act out on our impulses. Getting help took a lot of courage, just like getting help for any other mental health conditions. Live your life as you want, but just remember there are consequences
My writing mentor always told me this was a love story of sorts between Clarice and Hannibal and it only really hit me now when you broke this film down from your professional perspective. Thank you. Now I have clarity. Subscribed.
Did you read the book? In the book its a literal love story lol
The story was partially inspired by the time the FBI asking serial killer Ted Bundy to create a profile for the green river killer, when they finally caught him Bundy’s profile was pretty accurate. The scene where bill takes Catherine was also inspired by Bundy who would pretend to have a broken arm and struggle getting something on his car to get women to help him and he would knock them out and push them in his car.
Love that you have a picture of Jinkx Monsoon and Ben delacreme behind you.
Hannibal Lector is based on a real person, "Robert Maudsley" (UK's most dangerous prisoner) and much like Lector, he had a very high IQ and also killed 3 prisoners INSIDE Broadmore prison for criminally insane and in Wakefield Prison.And while killing them, his pulse never increased. He was nicknamed, "CANNIBAL" when he was found covered in blood and standing with an inmate's brain portions in a spoon after he had killed him. Also, Robert only killed rapists. He never killed an innocent person.
He is still in isolation in a GLASS CHAMBER and has been in it for years. This all has been 7 years before the books on which the movies have been based, were written.
That's nice to know. Who is Hannibal Lecter based on, though? I have no idea who this LectOr is.
@Tommy Robinson These criminals have the same MO as the character and not one country can have on ownership to that name.
@Tommy Robinson
Exactly. Harris released that detail himself, I think for the 25th anniversary of the SOTL book, or with his release of "Hannibal Rising". I have never heard of this British killer, and it's quite sad that 90 "fannibals" took this as a fact without confirmation.😬 Salazar's real name was Alfredo Balli Trevino, the "Wolfman of Nuevo Leon".
@@Bumble-bee_
Thomas Harris may not have "ownership" over them, but he certainly knows who inspired* him. He has SAID that Dr. Bell inspired him in the late 60s to write his first novel, "Red Dragon" which featured Dr. Lecter and he has Said that he based Hannibal's maroon-flecked eyes, calm, composed demeanor, and widow-peak on Dr. Bell. If you have evidence to back up your claim, please provide it. I don't know if I can link articles here, but there are about a dozen from a few years ago when Harris unmasked his inspiration.
Hi! Dr. Elliott, could you do a video of reaction of the Netflix show "Mindhunter"? Especially the part with Cameron Britton as Edmund Kemper, thanks 😉
Mindhunter would be an excellent choice to react on. It is about actual cases & psychological studies on criminals
And more importantly,@@satyaray3919: The birth of the FBI's psychological profiling.
Seasons one and two, and also "American Psycho"!
Yes please
YESSSSS
“Everyone tries to out-manipulate a psychopath. They just end up getting sucked into their world.” Yup. That’s what happened to Dr. Harleen Quinn
I think it's something of a trope that a young, unexperienced student is sent in because she has the right *personality* for the case. Kind of like the opposite trope of getting an old, alcoholic ex-cop to cover a case, because he's the only one who can do it. Both have this vague "chosen one" idea that we as viewers are drawn to.
I can't help but feel that you miss out on what's going on in Hannibal by leaving out the bulk of the reactions to and from Clarice. The call back after Miggs makes little sense unless it's comprehended that Hannibal is intrigued by this student. He spends a measurable moment taking her in; she doesn't back down from his gaze though she is clearly nervous. Her frankness about Miggs and her refusal to be put in her place by his taunting rebuke after her clumsy attempt to get him to fill out the report, makes an impression on him. When he rips into her about her background and her ambition to get to the FBI, it affects her, but she doesn't react the way he expects. She meets his eye, with all the pain in her own and suggests that he turn the mirror on himself. When he turns to a different tack and horrifies her with the fava bean story, she still does not look away from him. In all the years he has been in that cell, he has not been in the presence of someone who can give him what she is giving him. Of the two, he is the one who turns away first. Watch the evolution of minute facial expressions Hopkins gives to Hannibal between the end of the fava story and his absorption of her reaction. There's a slight relaxation of the face, and an almost human softness before he turns away and tells her to fly back to school. Although he doesn't fill out the form, she has won this encounter.
Clarice is like no one he has met for a very, very long time. It culminates in the story of the lambs: he keeps trying to steer her story to the selfish and and sensual, but that is not what she is: she is insulted at his assumption about the rancher's reception of her; she ran away trying to save a living, defenseless creature. He can get at her, but he can't break her because there is little, if any, corruption in her, and this is a very novel and affecting experience for him. It's why the world is "more interesting" with her in it.
He also drew a picture of her and the lamb as well as ordering lamp chops when he is moved to a different cell.
Yes! In the books it's made even more clear about Clarice's honesty and lack of pretension or artifice. Her honesty is her core; she is never trying to be someone else, but always the best version of herself, and there is the very real drive to make her father proud of her, even though he is deceased. Her father was an honest man, therefore she is honest. Often poor people only have their ethical standards, rather than money or possessions.
@@k.s.k.7721 and in the Hannibal book he had dug up her father's bones and placed them in the house he had kidnapped her to, drugged her so she thought he was alive and she was able to find closure through that, ...as well as eat the brain of the guy who'd gotten her fired.
"There's a real risk of dangerous dynamics brewing between the two of them."
That's like saying Chernobyl had a risk of affecting local air quality.
19:53 Thank you so much for your explanation on this scene. I've always felt like I've repeated some of the dynamics in my current relationships from those in my past, and hearing about transference really explains where they all come from.
I wish "We need to talk about Kevin" is looked into a bit. it's one of the few books that has imprinted in my mind and psyche. I'd be very interested in the body of work done on terms of the psychological ramifications of such scenarios and to what extent society has to play a role in the healing. we rarely think about those left behind that are not related to the victims or survivors.
Yes! More Hannibal (TV series) analysis videos please! In fact, I HIGHLY recommend that you watch the entire series on your own, in order, as I think you will fall in love with how good the show truly is.
They actually made Hannibal an exceptional psychiatrist in how perceptive he is at his profession. Obviously he is completely unethical and in the show he is a master manipulator. He's basically a top tier psychiatrist. The problem is that everything he does serves his own interests and is for his own amusement. Such a high level intellectual like Hannibal requires high level intellectual stimulus after all. Otherwise he would get extremely bored.
A lot of the show has therapy sessions between him and Will. There are also many therapy sessions between Hannibal and his own psychiatrist as well. So you are going to love those parts! (His psychiatrist is played by Gillian Anderson)
I cannot stress enough just how much I think you would fall in love with this show considering this show has a lot to do with psychiatry with an exceptional psychiatrist that happens to be an extremely intelligent (self aware) psychopath. He knows that he is a psychopath and he embraces it because he has a God complex.
You yourself seem to be an extremely perceptive, and experienced, psychiatrist yourself. This show will likely be one of your favorites if you watch the entire series on your own. Please do. Then you can see for yourself how incredibly good this show is. You will be quite surprised to see just how far in advance Hannibal plans so many things out. I'm talking many years in advance.
Being a psychiatrist yourself I think you will fall in love with this show.
I won't spoil anything for you. Much of the therapy sessions are spoken like poetry, but also at the same time the words spoken have manipulation behind them. Not just from Hannibal either...
As amazing as season 1 is, season 2 is even better. To be honest though season 3 is definitely the weakest.
There really is nothing else like the Hannibal TV series. It was actually quite shocking that it aired on regular network TV. It feels like a really good cable TV show.
So please do yourself, and your subscribers, a huge favor and watch the entire series and do some more analysis videos on it. We would really appreciate it if you would. Thank you.
Your analyses are fantastic, you’re so compassionate and understanding. And your comment about curiosity being the spark of psychological healing in a different video about the tv show was so good. I’m so glad I found this channel!
TH-cam algorithm fed this to me and, wow, I'm so glad it did. Fascinating input. Thank you, Doctor.
Brilliant as always! I'd suggest you check out Dog Day Afternoon or The Children's Hour. They are both excellent films balancing gender identity, social pressure, and expressions of love albeit in very different ways.
This was such an amazing reaction video. The insightful comments and observations have made it an even better movie for me now. How I wish this reaction video was longer. Thank you though! And wish you a happy new year :) your videos always are a pleasure to watch.
'If you eat someone you become like them?'
Is Kirby a product of psychoanalytic theory?
Ps. I'd love to see you reacting to Gaslight, and talk about how narcissistic abuse can affect the victim.
I'm an avid fannibal, and found your channel through your look at the series. This vid, like that one, was fascinating! Thanks so much, I loved them both. I love your insight and style, and can't wait for more hannibal reactions!
I have found myself enjoying your videos and enlightening explanations about mental health that all can understand. I’ve found my anxiety goes down when I sit and listen to your videos, thank you!
god, i LOVE this movie. watched it for the first time not too long ago and still can't stop thinking about it. it's all so gripping and raw. the gore and the violence aren't very convincing but the film makes up for it by depicting such dynamics and having such visceral dialogues between clarice and lecter. i wanna watch it again, and again, and again
You are awesome. Great reaction. I can't wait for the Hannibal TV show reaction. I thought that nothing can beat the Silence of the Lambs, but I like Mads performance as a Hannibal Lector even better to be honest.
damn. your knowledge of nightshade impresses.
I could listen to you all day. Brilliant.
Nothing says Happy New Year more than Silence of the Lambs! 😂 I have a feeling if I asked you to make a reaction video to another great movie, like Red Dragon, you would look me right in the eyes with a sinister smile and say, "all good things to those who weight." 😈 Fly fly fly and make another reaction video 🤣
Silly me, I meant to say wait, not weight 😂 my bad!
Long comment can't help myself. {compulsive maybe LOL} A bit of trivia before I start. Jodie Foster said in a couple interviews that she was scared of Anthony Hopkins when he was in character as Hannibal. She didn't even approach him out of character till after the shooting of the film had ended. About me, I.Q. of 145 on a couple tests. One while entering the Army said 135, scoring high in mathematics and pattern recognition which they said indicated an aptitude for foreign languages which the Army is always looking for. When looking for help with my insomnia/depression, I had to have several interviews with a psychiatrist and then take the standard evaluation tests. Results, ASPD, borderline Psychopathy/Sociopathy with indications of a lack of empathy and narcissism. I had all the indicators when growing up. You should know that those of us who are self-aware, and most of us are, we don't always tell the truth when taking those tests. I spent 24 years in prison for a pretty cold-blooded murder during a robbery. I have been out 18 years, lived alone the whole time, and have no friends and little contact with my family. Did you know that a significant percentage of CEOs and top Executives of large companies are psychopaths? You mentioned Freud a couple times. It is my understand that he has fallen out of favor though still recommended or required reading.
Hannibal was bored because his doctor had denied him any intellectual stimulation which irritated him. Some of his victims didn't anger him so much as irritate him. The FBI sending a rookie did irritate him, but he found Clarice herself intriguing. He began the process of transference then to get her to come back. He was angry at the other prisoner, not so much because of what he did, but because it might cause Clarice not to come back. He called her back to tell her something so she would come back regardless. Transference isn't always a one-way street. Drs have to be careful themselves otherwise they could create a feed-back loop where each reinforces the transference in the other. During the quid pro quo scene, I think you can see signs of this happening. An example could be the personal contact, skin to skin initiated by Hannibal. Clarice gives Hannibal the drawing materials, not because she has to but because she wants to. The first thing Hannibal does with them is to sketch Clarice and the Lamb from memory. After Hannibal escapes, he doesn't intend to kill Clarice but feels compelled to speak with her, calls her, and hints that they will talk again.
A correction, it wasn't a pit he dug, it was a well that was dug when the house was built. It was in the cellar so the water wouldn't freeze during the winter.
Cannibalism is known to have been practiced in some primitive cultures. Some would eat the heart to absorb their foes strength and courage. In others they would only eat a relative in order to absorb their "soul" so it could live on within them.
Psychologist from Sweden that works within neuropsychiatry here :). I love your videos !! You should take a look at the father (2020) next. Great depiction of dementia thanks to Anthony Hopkins and great writing.
Happy New Year Dr. Carthy, thank you for your fabulous content!
Thank you, Dr. Elliot. I’m 3 minutes in and you’ve already helped me so much. I’m always looking for a way to clearly understand (and describe when appropriate) both antisocial, psychopathy, and the intersection between them. You’ve just helped me so much.
Also, especially when you speak of psychotherapeutic models, you remind me (fondly) of my grandfather and somewhat of my grandmother. They were incredibly aware and respectful people, but did not have that much formal education. My grandmother graduated high school, my grandfather graduated high school and attended some college. They would become frustrated by psychology because, I think, they interacted in a time and with people who were arguing to place responsibility elsewhere from wherever it happened to belong. I think they, above all else, didn’t want their family falling prey to bs is what it came down to. However, when I heard you speak about the origins of cannibalism, I heard my grandfather- the research, the respect for history and historical context, the connecting things to understand. Thank you.
Loved this vid . You are also very pleasant to look at . Much love
'Currents and stuff'.... I love this
In all seriousness, Starling's accent is strong enough that most Americans would place her in West Virginia coal country, a very economically depressed region of the US, known for the locals being Hill billies. Buffalo Bill uses an old well because the house had an old well in the basement, it was purely from convenience.
I really enjoyed your reaction of this film. As a layman I found it truly interesting. Well done!
I really hope to see more Hannibal analysises, both as a fan of the books, movies and tv show, and as a curious person. :)
I've never seen this movie, and your reaction gives me so many more relevant clips that explain the story more than I've gotten to see from other videos about it. I've watched a couple seasons of The Blacklist, and as I had only seen a few minutes of footage from this movie before, now I see the resemblance between them is SO strong. They must have drawn a ton of inspiration from this movie for the show.
By the way, this was great. One thing though. At 17:49 or so, I didn't see her as saying she wanted to see him as some sort of connection she had...I saw it as Clarice getting a handle on Hannibal a bit and answering in a way to get answers. It worked. It got him to re-engage. My 2 cents, anyway.
In the movie "Hannibal" we learn his "eating" is related to a group of deserting solders killing and easting his sister as well as feeding some of her to him
So interesting! Great to get a new perspective on my favorite movie. Also Dr Carthy seems like such a nice doctor, some doctors have the bedside manner of a sledgehammer but this is the kind of guy you'd want to hear bad news from haha
Psychopathy was a diagnosis when i worked at a facility for the mentally ill criminals. We used a set of criteria and assessed each trait on a point scale.
Thank you for a very interesting video about one of my favorite movies.
The comment on eating the liver, fava beans and chianti is an inside joke he's making to show that he wasn't on Monoamine oxidase inhibitors, because the three things you're not allowed to eat while taking them are liver, beans and wine. It's never made clear if he's meant to have been on them, but the very fact he makes the joke implies he was but had stopped taking them. At least, that's what I've read, I'm sure you'd be able to clarify the validity of it...
I presume he went off a high MOAI dose so he had those “chest pains” for the ECG then the bradycardia resolved itself as he was eating a tongue.
I never imagined I’d hear someone say the phrase “the cannibalistic offender” in such a camp way; thank you for that 😄💖
😂
Love the review, but can't help to notice the Bendela and Jinkx photo in the background my 2 favorite queens. ❤️
i need "the cannibalistic offender" as a gif right this second thank you very much
YES! Bless your heart! This made my day!
Nice!
I only saw this film the once. I know it is a stone cold classic but ooooo does it creep me out. The basement/nighttime goggles scene REALLY messed me up (scared of the dark, I guess!) Still, I love a good movie critique/expert analysis so it was Brilliant to hear your insight on all this 🥰
Just came to say love the Jinxx & Ben pic behind you 🤣
loved this so much!!
Will you also be covering the second film with Hannibal and Clarice? Loved the video ❤️
I hope he watches all of them!
I would like you to react on Dexter, it is gonna be interesting
An old friend for dinner
Such a classic line 😂
Love your channel, Doctor.
The film is a masterclass in close-ups. I'd be interested in your take on the recently released deleted scene from Matt Reeve's "The Batman" where Bruce consults The Joker at Arkham Asylum in a scene reminiscent of a Clarice/Lecter prison encounter.
12:19 - I am actually during my final year of oceanography and here's something interesting - there is a diatom test, which checks the presence of diatoms in body's lungs and blood. If the person was drowning (or died by drowning), there is a high change of water going through it's alveoli to it's capillaries and then be spread across your whole cardiovascular system ( that is, of course, if the person tried to breathe ). Therefore when finding diatoms in person's blood, the cause of death is very likely to be by drowning. Hovewer, when finding diatoms in body's alveoli, it's very much possible, the killed person was disposed in the water ( thus the presence of diatoms ONLY in it's lungs - the person was dead, so it wasn't able to breathe, which caused diatoms to halt in his lungs/other part of it's respiratory system ).
That's why Oceanographists are very important, when it comes to checking those specifics.
Found your channel through your Crazy Ex Girlfriend reaction, and I'm so glad I did! Really enjoy your insight and calming yet still engaging presentation style. :-)
The way YOU said "that's so standard" in that second was so holy cow, absolutely terrifying...dunno why.
Great video! Would love to see you cover and analyze more serial killer movies and series.
I'd like to ask for the "Fineclaw" bibliographical reference. I'm a criminologist and psychoanalyst, I'm currently doing my Master's degree writing about rape and that reference would possibly help me out.
Thank you very much for such amazing classes you give us! ♥
Speaking of forensic entomology.... Would you do a reacts video to the psychiatry in Bones? In season 2 episode 13 (and 17 I think?) it's Stephen Fry!
Hi I came across your channel from Cinema therapy, and love that you are looking at this. I'm not normally big into the horror/suspense films and I have no idea why I like this film so much. I think I just find Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster's performances so compelling and believable. I understand that Jodie foster Anthony Hopkins did not have much contact with each other during the filming of this and that helps them develop this amazing dynamic on film.
You should definitely check out the tv show prodigal son
This was fascinating!
I saw the Jinkx and Dela photo in the back I love that, best doctor ever
Please do a few episodes of Killing Eve!
Loved your reaction!! Can I call you also check the second film?
Happy New Year Dr Carthy!
Loved this, I hope this gets enough views to allow you to critique more serial killer movies
I think I heard somewhere that in the books Clarice and Dr. Lecter actually end up together. But Hollywood was too scared to make that movie lol. I'd love to see it.
That would be a psychodynamic minefield
@@DoctorElliottCarthy But would you watch it?!😂
Correct. In the book Hannibal, he drugs Clarice and “helps” her “process” her childhood trauma. Then they head off to a new life together.
@@mschrisfrank2420 That sounds really interesting.
If I remember correctly, Hannibal also often finds himself bored with the rest of the world, so he does some things, even kill, in an effort to amuse himself. And he sees himself as a lone lion, walking discreetly among gazelle.
Dr. Carthy at 1:12 - "*predicts the entire plot of the movie*"
Great video, would be awesome to watch you review Insomnia.... I think it's one of Robin Williams best performances. Happy new year.
It is revealed in one of the books that Hanibal came from Eastern Europe and during ww2 his family was stricken during a particularly harsh winter with war criminals. Long story short they murdered his sister and ate her. He then vowed revenge and chased them to France where he became a doctor. He eventually killed and ate all his sisters murderers and then just kinda liked it.
Great video love the content anyways this man is a total DAD
Enjoyed the video. Have a question. Is there a reason your background is backwards? Like a test?
...Did they really have a heart rate monitor on Lecter when he was eating the woman's face? Or did somebody have a finger on his pulse while he was doing that? Srsly?
Keep reacting also to the tv show please!! It's so good and epic!!!
Great video/subject to start the year.
It’s interesting you brought up dangerous dynamics between them because in the books the dangerous dynamics come to fruition because they develop a sort of partnership
Will you be continuing the Atypical show? Love your videos btw
Oh yes, one of my favourite things to do is to watch behaviourists try to explain mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder as purely behavioural conditions. I do love to feel my blood boil.
My current favourite it by Philip Hickey. You know it’s good when it’s titled “Alternative perspective on psychiatry's so-called mental disorders” and when symptoms is put in quotation marks!
It's crazy he was only on screen for 18 minutes. This video is longer than his appearance.
That's the true sign of a perfect performance.
One thing I think people don't point out enough too about Hannibal in this movie, is that he progressively gives Clarice more help than she realizes.
I believe in their second to last encounter, he gave her a harsh therapy session: making her be so honest with her-self it hurt, in order to prepare her for what needed to be done. If she had stayed the way she was, without his pushes, then she might not have ever been ready to do what she did. It was maybe his final act as a Psychiatrist.
This, I believe, is why he told her "thank you." He could finally help someone who wasn't so soaked up in their own ego, and suffering, and could be worth his time to actually help.
Seeing Psychiatrist take on whole Hannibal series would be extremely interesting. Especially since the grand plot builds up in first season (where its sort of monster of the week to build up the character relations in the back), but later on its become much more complete only featuring very few per season while heavily focused on main characters.
Love Jinkx and Bendela in the background 💜
For someone so self controlled and organized, Buffalo Bill was undone by not bothering to learn how his own double-action revolver works.
Please do a video on Red Dragon, Francis Dolarhyde is a very interesting character, and in the film it's not totally clear what's going on in his mind - like, his interaction with the dragon, it's not clear whether he's actually hallucinating and hearing a voice or if it's just the film's way of portraying the struggle inside his head between these urges/thoughts and the good/normal side of him. I haven't finished that book yet (working on it at the moment though) so I don't know if the book is more specific on that. But I'd love to see your take on his character and how his childhood trauma led him to do what he did.
"Keep calm and ship Hannigram♡"
Oh,and yes of course, eat the rude 🦌 :D
It's actually a coroner (or 2) that is doing the initial examination with clarice and Crawford. What I find strange is that she is allowed to take the cocoon.
Notice Dr. lecter
does not blink.
Other than it being human liver, that recipe is actually quite good. Chianti might be a bit too weak of a palate cleanser for some people, though. Especially if you are substituting human liver with pig(the closest to the recipe from the book/movie)and not chicken or turkey(easier to prepare, faster to cook). It is heavier and more metallic in taste. Might want to try something like an Amarone instead.
Love the Blur album cover framed in the background mind if I copy ya I've never thought to do that the prodigy fat of the land cover I'd do as well. The crab is my spirit animal lol
fairly unrelated to the hannibal content but I love hearing you talk about freud and all that. I'm in nursing school and we write growth and development papers where we must include theories and whether patients meet the criteria and I can't help but roll my eyes a bit - especially with freud. Of course it has it's purpose but still, I feel vindication in this haha
