The series "Hannibal": reviews, description, actors and roles

Exquisite dishes of French, Japanese and Italian cuisine ... Do you think it will be a cookbook with the best recipes? No, these are just titles of episodes of a popular multi-series film, the main characters of which are FBI agent Will Graham and Dr. Hannibal Lecter.

Plot

The series "Hannibal" reviews viewers and critics are not ignored. The plot of the thriller at first glance quite uncomplicated. The best FBI analyst is talented Will Graham. He perfectly understands the psychology of people and the reasons for their actions, but in pursuit of another killer maniac gets into a dead end.

In search of answers, Graham addresses the famous psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter. The doctor becomes a permanent consultant, and also helps the FBI agent cope with the psychological trauma. It's a pity none of the people around you have any idea that Dr. Lector himself is a serial killer with a rather unusual "culinary" hobby.

The first two seasons, the psychopath under the guise manages to stay out of suspicion. It seems that he will escape punishment, and so the series "Hannibal" will end. Season 3 in this regard is very surprising to the viewer, because Will Graham finally takes off his rose-colored glasses and opens a real hunt for the killer.

Who invented Hannibal the Lecturer?

In late August 2015, the producers decided to close the series "Hannibal". Reviews and ratings, according to one of the Russian resources, were just on top, so Dr. Lecter's fans were very upset.

Nevertheless, the team of this television thriller gave the audience three full seasons. The script was based on the works of Thomas Harris. This American writer has become incredibly popular due to the character of Hannibal Lecter.

The first work - "Red Dragon" - was published in 1981, and the next book - "The Silence of the Lambs" - after seven years. A little later, Harris wrote two more novels: "Hannibal" and "Hannibal: Rise."

Thomas Harris actively participated in the creation of the TV version of the thriller "Hannibal" (series). The actors were found rather quickly, and the pilot series began shooting in August 2012.

The premiere show on April 4, 2013 gathered more than four million Americans from the screens. An explosive mixture of interest and disgust - about so much of the audience described their impressions.

Financing of the project was provided by the NBS channel, so the decision to close it was taken unilaterally. The series "Hannibal", the third season for which was the last, tried to revive, but large companies Netflix and Amazon Prime refused to offer a profitable offer.

High lath

"Silence of the Lambs" - a film that must have been compared to the series "Hannibal". Season 1 earned a positive evaluation from film critics, who, rather, expected a failure.

Indeed, it was almost impossible to play Doctor Lecter better than Anthony Hopkins. For this reason, another adaptation of the novel by Thomas Harris was not a success: Hannibal: Ascent. About the youth of the psychopath, the young French actor Gaspard Ullel tried to tell the viewer , but Hopkins's level was too much for him.

Interestingly, Mads Mikkelsen, who brilliantly performed the role of a psychopath, showed the viewer a slightly different Dr. Lecter. He is pedantic and polite, incredibly courteous, and his culinary talents invariably cause admiration.

The complex history of the relationship of a killer maniac and an FBI agent (this time a male) has become a worthy continuation of the thrillers with the legendary Anthony Hopkins. Only appreciated it can only viewers with a stable psyche, because the dark and bloody scenes like not everyone.

Hugh Dancy

The narration is from Will Graham. Hugh Dancy became the first actor to successfully cast. His career began with the production of "Twelfth Night" (William Shakespeare). Then there were a few small roles in the series "Cold feet", "The danger zone" and "New adventures of Robin Hood." However, the real fame brought the British actor two projects - "Blood and Chocolate" (2007) and "Shopaholic" (2009).

Special Agent Graham

Since 2013, the admirers of the charming Hugh Dancy have become noticeably larger, and the reason for this is "Hannibal" - the series, the actors of which not only performed their roles brilliantly. Sympathy and unconditional sympathy evokes from the first minutes the image of Will Graham.

The viewer genuinely worries about the special agent who literally misses every story through himself. The young man's unusual abilities cause suffering, but the sense of responsibility still brings him back to the ranks of valiant law enforcement.

Mads Mikkelsen

The company Hugh Dancy was Mads Mikkelsen - a famous Danish actor, winner of the Cannes Festival prize.

Mikkelsen was born in Copenhagen. After graduating from the theatrical studio, he worked for some time in the Danish film industry. His career began with insignificant roles in the paintings "Blomsterfangen" and "Cafe" Hector. "The success and first notoriety was brought by the criminal drama" Pusher "- among other merits the local press dubbed Mads Mikkelsen the sexiest man in Denmark.

In 2006, the Dane appears in the Bond series, where he is assigned the role of the outrageous villain Le Schiff. After the premiere of "Casino Royale" Mads Mikkelsen no longer lacked interesting projects. One of them was the psychological drama "Hunting", and the role of the kindergarten teacher brought the actor a prize for the best male role at the 65th Cannes Film Festival.

Doctor Lecturer

So, the series "Hannibal". Season 1 is coming to an end, and it becomes clear to the audience that Hannibal Lecturer, performed by the Dane Mikkelsen, is not at all a typical villain. His appearance does not cause disgust. On the contrary, this killer maniac has a refined taste, in clothes adheres to the classical style and likes to receive guests.

Dr. Lector is extremely polite and incredibly charming, so viewers tend to have mixed feelings. Here he is - a ruthless killer maniac who does not spare his victims. However, the image created by a screenwriter and a talented actor prevents him from hating him completely and passionately wanting to defeat him.

In addition, the feelings of a psychopath towards Will Graham are not entirely clear - there is not a single TV series that can easily manage a non-traditional orientation today.

Love line

A bit boring would be without a love line to watch the TV series "Hannibal". Comments of the audience positively assessed the relationship between Will Graham and his colleague Alana Blum, whose role was performed by Canadian actress Carolyn Davernas.

Miss Bloom is also an FBI consultant. The doctor recognizes the gift of Graham's agent and sincerely worries about his mental state. In addition, she was a student at Dr. Lecter, and as no one else knows about his non-standard methods of work.

Morpheus is back with us

Another character is Jack Crawford. The head of one of the departments of the FBI is completely focused on his goal: to rid the world of serial killers. His idiosyncratic fanaticism and full commitment to work have a negative impact on the whole team, but most of all goes to Will Graham. It is Crawford who returns the young agent to investigations and shamelessly exploits his unique gift.

Anxiety about the state of subordinates arises from the boss is extremely rare. This, however, does not interfere with breaking the delicate balance between the professional and personal life of his colleagues.

The role of Jack Crawford was performed by the talented American actor Lawrence Fishburne. It is because of this actor of the series "Hannibal" that viewers are sometimes compared to the "Matrix" project, where Fishbourne played the legendary Morpheus. In one case, a strong leader and savior of mankind, in the other - a purposeful boss and an operative with a unique gift. The resemblance is subtle, but it does exist.
