Cox was the most realistic performance of Hannibal Lector. He seems the closet to what an intelligent psychopath would be like. Where as the other two hannibals (Hopkins and mads) seem super humans
In Hannibal hopkins is comically super human it actually detracts from him in regards to realistic fear. But on the reverse mads and hopkins both seem like complete forces of nature you can't control or stop. So it's a different kind of fear.
While that is true, and I love Brian’s performance, it’s also important to note that in the novels, Lecter is essentially an improbable character, a mix of various minds, that would normally clash against one another without resolve. Although that being said, his more improbable and superhuman tendencies emerge in The Silence of the Lambs rather than in Red Dragon, so you could argue that Cox was spot on in the way he portrayed Lecter here, and that Hopkins similarly nailed him in Silence of the Lambs. Great performances either way.
I’m a multiverse guy. I’m happy with all of them. If I want a classic thriller i watch silence. If I want a movie about psychological profiling and a realistic murder mystery, I watch manhunter. When I drop acid, I watch Hannibal Nah jk, Hannibal for me is like a impressionistic interpretation of Hannibal lector vs Will graham with serious themes of seduction away from isolation. We meet will he’s isolated and lacking confidence, only related to dogs and avoid eye contact. After his therapy with Hannibal he’s confident, strong, capable of murder which Hannibal wants but strong/moral enough to resist those urges. He wants Hannibal because Hannibal breaks his isolation “the truest aspect of friendship is to know someone and be known in return” Hannibal and will know each other and almost accepted each other. Will is so lonely and so wanting Hannibal as a friend he’s willing to “tolerate” the murders or he think he is. Will is the most divided character I’ve ever seen in fiction, he has a bloodlust and attraction to fulfilling it with Hannibal. But he’s also a man of the law. A man who stop’s serial killers. Both those identities run through will Like a string through pearls. Whenever he plans to arrest Hannibal he changes his mind at the last second, when he decides to kill him, he changes his mind. Only one side can win…….and until / if we get season 4. We don’t know which one won. There is evidence for both. But if there’s one thing will said in the show thats truest, it’s “can’t live with him, can’t live without him” I don’t think their relationship was sexual. I think that was a metaphor for Hannibal seducing will Into a darker life.
one of the best scenes from one of the best films. what i like most apart from the dialogue is that unlike the rest of the film, Lecktor is happy (ergo free) in this scene, and it's graham who is on the brink of depression, locked up. how Mann visually conveys this is soooo impressive.
@@carlosh2390 Because the next films disowned him and this film in an attempt to be standalone. Silence of The Lambs had Anthony Hopkins play him on an unrelated note.
Yeah red dragon was just an excuse to get Hopkins in again as lector. Even he didn't look like he wanted to do that film, he has said in interviews he should've only done two lector movies instead of three.
The lit-up elevator in the distant building behind Will at 1:49, like an idea bulb. Might have been coincidence but extraordinary timing if so, and brilliant if intentional.
Michael Mann actually had the production staffs controlling that elevator. So, it's possible that Michael Mann intended to have that elevator moving upward.
@RaymondMcCarron1 yeah, notice how you don't see bars in Lecktor's cell, yet you can see vertical black lines beside Graham. Little stuff like that I guess.
William Petersen was superb. The best portrayal of Will Graham. Brian Cox as Hannibal Lector was much more realistic and believable than Hopkins’ version.
Another great scene from both Brian Cox and William Peterson. I do wish Cox had been in Silence Of the Lambs. Anthony Hopkins played an over the top insane Dr. Lecktor. Cox plays it quick wit, cold and interesting one. I've always liked Cox and everything he's done.
I was watching Xmen 2, and I kept looking at Stryker like, "I know this guy from somewhere". Found out it was Brian Cox from Manhunter. Greatest Hannibal ever.
If Cox played Lecter in Silence it probably would have been a more realistic portrayal. But Hopkins still gave a phenomenal performance as well. Just more flamboyant and over the top in comparison.
This flick is just up my street. Love it! Deep psychological thriller with perfect cast, great screen play, astonishing visuals and a breathtaking soundtrack. Way more realistic approach on Lector too. This movie tops SOFTL with ease.
Phone Rings "Yeah, this is Will Graham of the FBI. Dr Chilton arranged for me to speak to Dr Lecktor." Phone Rings again. "Hello?" Pause "...Halow Will..."
Peterson is excellent in Manhunter. I think julianweton has missed the whole point of Graham's character and the history between Graham and Lecktor. Read Red Dragon by Thomas Harris and you will see that Peterson nails it! I'm also glad that Mann changed the ending for the film as the ending in the book is OTT. Peterson and Cox were both excellent choices for Manhunter, I can't think of two other actors playing the roles now. Manhunter is superior to Johnathan Demme's Silence of the Lambs IMO.
I like both Manhunter and The Silence of the Lambs. Both are very good films for differing reasons, and I loved Peterson in the role of Will Graham as I did Hugh D'ancy in the Hannibal TV series. Both brought something different to how they played Graham and did it so well I find it impossible to say one was better than the other. As for the ending, I must admit that the one in this version worked better for me than the inferior, 2002 Red Dragon. I like Edward Norton but he was all wrong for the part of Will Graham, and just didn't ring true for me. He lacked the intensity that both Peterson and D'ancy had in spades as well as that sense of understated determination.
Yeah, all three adaptations capture different aspects of the book with different degrees of accuracy to the plot, meaning, themes, tone, psychology, etc. Red Dragon 2002's definitely the most book-accurate adaptation overall, but IMO Petersen is the best and most book-accurate Will Graham, and the version I picture whenever I re-read it.
Brian Cox WAS Hannibal. William Peterson WAS Will Graham. 'Red Dragon' a great read. When "Silence of the Lambs" came out, and the movie won awards, etc., I still, to this day, cannot comprehend WHY it won. Hopkins way too over the top, Jodie's accent was unnecessary, even annoying. The only one I found interesting and wished they would have shown more of is Scott Glenn as Jack Crawford. He was intense, low-key, and he and Starling should have worked together more. His experience along with her recent training and fresh take would have been so much more interesting.
*1:41** The synth at the end of this scene is so fucking beautiful!, why do they always leave the best music out of the soundtracks?, shame ='(. Is it new wave band The Reds? I can't find it anywhere.*

@@christopherrobin361 it’s not. I know this movie very well. It’s a shame Mann didn’t have the clout like he had later. All the deleted scenes I’ve seen of Manhunter are amazing.
It’s not on there unfortunately, and I don’t think it’s ever been released, great track you are right! There are quite a few still missing, I would be particularly interested to see the alternate Graham’s theme that’s used during the “you and me now sport” scene as well as the alternate tracks by The Reds that didn’t make it into the film, or so I hear anyway.
@@ExpensiveBruh You better start looking over interviews with serial killers because Hopkins didn’t act like one at all, Cox was subtle and normal, which made it scarier and realistic how serial killers can get away with their acts for so long, if someone acted like Hopkins they wouldn’t have lasted as a serial killer.
@@ExpensiveBruh “normal” is what got him all the victims, acting like Hopkins won’t lure victims, it’ll scare them and make them not feel comfortable. Cox has the charming and comfortable feeling to be around initially until it’s too late.

@wp1953 You can think that all you want but the fact is he was never in another notable film and he is now on CSI. I think that speaks for itself. @babejunky I've read the book, and in no way does that explain William Peterson's wooden acting.
Great scene, but Petersen is a horrible actor. He had no emotion in this film except when he was over the top angry and yelling things out to himself. Which came off as cheesey and a little bit crazy. On the other hand Brian Cox is a great actor, and does very well as Lector . Tom Noonan wasn't exactly bad, but he wasn't a believable character. As far as acting goes pretty much everyone in Red Dragon have either been nominated for or have won an Oscar, thats all I'm going to say.
I couldn't disagree more. Peterson is a very good actor and he was phenomenal as Will Graham and I'm of the opposing opinion that Brian Cox is a great actor. I've never really been a great fan of his and preferred Anthony Hopkins and Mads Mikkelsen's portrayals of Lectre. As for Tom Noonan, I think he nailed it as Francis Dolarhyde, and had me believing in him right from the off. It's that soft spoken matter of fact away that he spoke as if he was casually doing something perfectly normal that made him so chilling in the role. As for people being nominated for an Oscar, so what? Just because someone hasn't had as successful a commercial career in Hollywood doesn't mean they're any less talented. Peterson may have not won an Oscar but he has won a Screen Actors Guild Award for his work on CSI as well as a BCFA Critics Choice Award for the Contender. As for Tom Noonan, google his name and awards and see what comes up. He's won two awards at the Sundance Film Festival alone. Anyway, awards are ultimately meaningless but seeing as you brought up Oscars, I thought I'd say this much, plenty more people seem to disagree with you.
Just because they were nominated for different films doesn't mean the director knew how to guide them in Red dragon. All performances, including Hopkins's are sub-par and sometimes close to self parody. Great actors, mediocre performances, and Red Dragon is a mediocre movie. It's incredibly "meh"
Is good because is believable, no matter how good Hopkins performance was the things he gets to do in the movies actually take away from that great role, I can believe a serial killer mastermind but besides that he also seems to be a James Bond or Mission Impossible character with his feats of escape and assasination. To me Hannibal is a character that has been victim of its own success with every new piece of media more BS is added and now he is like a comic book character, to me and I guess to many the simplicity of Cox's Lecter is refreshing, simplicity that is not devoid of charm even if does not reach the greatness of the character in Silence of the Lambs.
Revisionism implies that anyone ever thought he was bad... No one ever thought that. It's just that Hopkins' absurdly overrated performance took the spotlight away from Cox for so long, and people are now finally beginning to appreciate this performance for what it was. I also think that as general knowledge of serial killers and how they operate/act has become more mainstream in recent years, people are starting to appreciate a more realistic and understated portrayal such as this one.
God doesn't kill anyone. HE'S A WATCHER. Any death that occurs is done by humans through a series of freewill choices. Even the earth quake part. Humans made a series of choices that landed them in that spot at that moment and as a result they died. Every choice we make has a consequence. Wheather it be good or bad.

Nah jk, Hannibal for me is like a impressionistic interpretation of Hannibal lector vs Will graham with serious themes of seduction away from isolation.
We meet will he’s isolated and lacking confidence, only related to dogs and avoid eye contact.

Will is so lonely and so wanting Hannibal as a friend he’s willing to “tolerate” the murders or he think he is.

Whenever he plans to arrest Hannibal he changes his mind at the last second, when he decides to kill him, he changes his mind.

All three actors who have played him have played him differently. Cox's was realistic, Hopkins' was a supervillain, Mikkelsen's was a fallen angel.
