Im genuinely so obsessed and will forever be obsessed with the way love is portrayed in Hannibal, it’s so impactful even if it’s not particularly healthy love. They need each other and throughout the whole series thats painfully clear to the viewer. The love Hannibal and Will have for each other is almost obnoxious to those around them, it’s like they gave their souls to one another without a single word of discussion about it beforehand. They know they have the other till death, they know they’re both obsessed with the other but in the many attempts to stop it from worsening, they fail. They’re soulmates no matter how hard one tries to get away. In the end they’ve given in completely and the ending scene shows how trusting and accepting they are of each others decisions and feelings.

my favorite episode of the x files will always be the one where they got brad dourif (the voice of chucky) to play a hannibal lecter-esque character that makes scully (who was heavily influenced by clarice starling) be in a silence of the lambs type scenario

Hannibal Lecter from the original Silence of the Lambs is genuinely one of my favorite villains of all time because I think he exaggerates and makes dangerous a universal and universally uncomfortable instinct. He feeds on the feelings of other people, on tragedy in particular, and you can physically see him drawing sustenance from their stories. Cannibalism as a metaphor etc etc but seriously, the scene where he listens to Clarice's pain is incredible every single time. And I think it's because the horror is drawn from a universal instinct -- not the eating people part, but feeding on the tragedy of others to fulfill the emptiness of rejecting one's own emotions (or simply not having them, in his case).

I understand the instinct to seek out tragic stories, to sympathize, to feel sorry for, to pity – and pity in particular isn't necessarily a nice instinct, but I do understand it – but this instinct to feed, to take pleasure, to veer into a kind of passive sadism is different and breeds different behavior. It's not exactly harmful because you're not causing pain, you're just enjoying it, but this salivating over the tragedies of your favorite people is certainly deeply uncomfortable, even if it's also universal. It's a small, almost secret part of the human condition that no one is particularly proud of but no one is quite ready to give up, either, if that were even possible. And it was writ large in Hannibal and turned him into one of the most mesmerizing and irresistible villains of all time. 

Anyway, this is also my theory for why we talk about Paul McCartney in that particular way that we do.

I count It (1990) as a movie and The Silence of the Lambs as a scary movie, but maybe not as a horror. If you had to only pick one, which one would you want to watch over and over the most?
