I’m MILDLY obsessed with the character ‘Dr.
Hannibal Lecter’, from the first time I saw the movie ‘Hannibal’ (which I saw
before ‘Silence of the Lambs’) I wondered if someone like that truly existed or
if it was plainly the author’s imagination.
Whatever the case, I sort of fell in love with the
idea of a man who didn’t use jazz or juju but simply spoke to you till you
believed what he said was your own idea (ok ok he sort of hypnotized his
victims) or how he killed (don’t think I’m crazy) smoothly and never actually
got caught, and also how seemingly in the face of danger, he was ALWAYS calm.
The calmness is one of the things I truly admire,
because for those who know me calmness is far from me; if I’m not worrying
about some activity or shouting in real life, I’m doing it in my mind or in my
dream.
Every human has a ‘Hannibal’ in him/her; no
matter who you claim to be, you kind of won’t mind being able to control
another human. To be able to influence and have things work your way. I won’t
go into details of whether your reason for control is good or bad (search
within and it will come to you).
Sometimes the control we desire may even be over
ourselves- to have control over our time, our values/principles, our alter ego,
our finances, what path our relationships will take, our thoughts,
achievements, emotions like fear or love, or to be able to dismiss that which doesn’t
work for us anymore and move on.
Regardless of the evil we are made to believe
about Dr. Lecter, I think he is a very intelligent man, I think he has a sense
of humour and possesses the ability to care for another human. I think Dr.
Lecter makes someone very happy and I also think someone, somewhere would be
able to pull a ‘Hannibal’ on Dr. Lecter!
