What’s the Red Dragon movie about?
In 1980, FBI agent Will Graham (Edward Norton from Primal Fear, American History X and Fight Club) visited forensic Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins from The Lion in Winter, The Silence of the Lambs and The Elephant Man) to discuss a case. Graham realizes that the killer is a cannibal, but Lecter stabs him. Lecter is imprisoned and Graham retires to Florida with his family. Years later, another serial killer, the Tooth Fairy, kills two families. Graham is asked for help by agent Crawford (Harvey Keitel from Bugsy and The Piano) and Graham concludes that he must consult with Lecter. The killer is Francis Dolarhyde (Ralph Fiennes from Schindler’s List, the Harry Potter saga and The Grand Budapest Hotel), and acts on the order of his alternate personality, whom he calls the Great Red Dragon. A letter from the Tooth Fairy is discovered hidden in Lecter's cell, expressing his admiration for Lecter and his interest in Graham. Dolarhyde has a relationship with Reba (Emily Watson from Breaking the Waves and Oranges and Sunshine) but her alternative personality requires him to kill her. Desperate to end the Dragon's control over him, Dolarhyde goes to the Brooklyn Museum, tears up Blake's painting and eats it. Later, Dolarhyde goes to Reba's house and learns that she has spent the evening with a colleague. Enraged, Dolarhyde kills him, kidnaps Reba, takes her to his house and sets it on fire. Unable to kill her, Reba escapes when the police arrive. Dolarhyde infiltrates Graham's house, takes his son hostage and threatens to kill him. To save his son, Graham reminds Dolarhyde of what he knows about his childhood. Enraged, the Dolarhyde attacks Graham. Both are seriously injured in a shoot-out, which ends when Graham's wife kills Dolarhyde.

Norton really sells this. You can tell how nervous he is even with Lecter in a cell, but he still refuses to play Lecter's games or let him set the terms of the discussion.
Pettersen did it better lol
Norton is great. But This time He seems a little bored to me
@@lionloschutz9291Norton isn't convincing at all. He looks and sounds more like an un-seasoned textbook substitute teacher. A real eyesore. He just says his lines and his timing is all wrong. Totally not right for the role.
@@trolololotrololo853Agreed. Hands down. No contest.
Dancy did it better than both@@trolololotrololo853
1:55 The tiny half eye blink is such a subtle thing but absolutely AMAZING acting. It's almost like, his own brain is confused that, being as intelligent as he is, missed something. Disadvantages...? Like what...? And then BAM. Brilliant
Lecter would not savor the concept that his own nature put him at a disadvantage. It pokes a hole in his ego, which is a cardinal insult.
I hope everyone appreciates how awkward it is to play straight to camera, and how well Hopkins does it here.
Lecter is so watchable. Can’t take your eyes off of him.
1:45 all he had to say was' if I thought I was smarter than you I wouldn't have come here asking for your help'.
He would have written it of as disingenuous. Lector is very very sharp.
@@clairestark9024 ok but it would make no sense. He was there standing on front of him. He travelled a long way to meet him.
“Little ship on it” 🚢 yep that’s Old Spice. 😂
I love the little pause after "you're insane" .... like Lector is thinking ... damn, he nailed it.
It's the same way he's caught off guard and pauses for a bit when Clarice says: "No. You ate yours." after he states that he didn't keep trophies of his victims.
It’s pure narcissism. He can’t even comprehend the fact that he is flawed or has done anything wrong. For as intelligent and manipulative as he is, he simply lacks the ability to understand this and deflects in both scenarios straight back into sociopathic statements or subtle threats.
That silent pause felt like a 'how dare you' to me
"The difference between insanity and genius is measured only by success." Lecter was annoyed that he was one death and cannibal meal away from success - Will's. Will sees Lecter as the man who took away his frail humanity and consumed it. Lecter sees Will as the man who took away his genius success and shot it dead. This courtship between the two was them admitting to each other their injuries and offering closure. Lecter becomes the genius he wants to be with the capture of the Red Dragon. And Will heals his wounds with the capture of the Red Dragon.
Honestly i dont think thats the case, i think that from lectors viewpoint Will completely missed the mark... Hanibal was just... Dissapointed, he expected a better answer.
I love how offended Hannibal is, it really is out of character for someone who is so controlled.
Will never says _"Thank you."_ How rude. And Dr. Lecter hates rude people.
He probably gets a pass since Lector betrayed and tried to murder him.
He probably isn't too fond of empty pleasantries either. And they know each other well enough to understand that that's all they would be.
Lector also took offense that Will called himself a layman. As though he didn't give himself credit for capturing the infamous Hannibal the Cannibal. Because by extension, that means that a layman could've also caught Lector. As in Lector is unremarkable, contrary to his own beliefs. To himself, he is a highly intelligent and fine artist, creating magnificent dishes of those whom he perceives to be inferior. Not a manipulative psychotic quack serial killer.
Hannibal is so obsessed with intelligence i believe that’s why he constantly says “ you caught me will”
When Hannibal says “you say you’re a layman…..” Almost seems like Lecter was insulted by that. Like he thinks Will doesn’t give himself enough credit. But also how Lecter gets directly against the glass when comparing who’s smarter and how Will caught him. So yeah you’re right.
Calling Lecter "insane" was a mistake, after that he started to threaten Will, just look at Lecter's facial expressions, how greatly Anthony Hopkins played resentful Lecter.
There are two sides to this i think: First: it was definetely a mistake, because it risks the life of his family But: if you only look at it from Lecters perspective and his mindgames, then Will is beating him again and again. Lecter thinks very highly of himself and that he was "defeated" by Will is already hard to swallow. Now, Will doesn't engage in his mindgames and even if he agrees that Lecter is smarter than him he belittles his existence and calls him insane. Again, for someone like Lecter that is hard to swallow. I guess Lecter even hated the fact that his only response to that statement was to threaten Will and his family. For such a highly intelligent person that should feel wrong, since he indiractely agrees that Will is superior here. That Lecter goes out of his way and really tries to kill Will and his family through Dollarhyde is the final nail in the coffin. Will beat him too many times and he tries revenge in the simplest way. It could have cost him his life and his family (luckily it didn't) but purely looking at the mindgames between the two Will is the clear winner here
Lecter doesn't like being called out. same exact thing happened in Silence when Clarice points out he ate his trophies. He shuts down, collects his ammunition, and goes on a tirade of berating the person.
1:34 the look on lector’s face, he almost looks insulted by will’s statement
I'm not sure what the makers of Old Spice must have felt about this unsolicited plug.
1:59 that's an interesting response as is his reply. Hannibal knows he's right and for all his brilliance his mind is deceased.....flawed and how it drags him down. This then follows with how nasty he gets in a few moments. Interesting watching hannibal process anger.
One of the best parts is the moment between 1:29 and 2:03. Graham tells him the truth about his nature: because he is insane, despite Lecter is smarter, he caught him, and Lecter was left out of words, and there is no way of talking and using rethoric out of this one. Evils destroys itself.
Interesting. I actually interpreted Lector's reaction as disappointment...Will tells him that he had "disadvantages"; and Lector is eager to hear what sort of insight Will had into his character. We need to remember that, Hannibal Lector & Will Graham have an understanding of each other...Will has a mental condition that allows him to quite literally think & feel exactly how another person thinks; and Hannibal Lector is no mere madman; but a highly intelligent, sophisticated predator who simply operates beyond morals or ethics. When Will says that he managed to catch Lector just because he is "insane", I think Hannibal viewed it at a lazy, uninspired answer...something that any normal person would say. Will is not a "normal" person...he is someone that Lector views as gifted, possessing of a unique mind. At the same time, Lector also believes Will is holding himself back...rejecting his ability to empathize with killers & psychopaths because Will fears becoming like them. Becoming like Hannibal Lector, even. And so Lector perceives WIll as a broken thing; someone unwilling to embrace their own potential because they're too cowardly to try. Later on in the movie, Lector explains to WIll that the reason why he managed to catch him was because the two of them "are very much alike". Here, Will wasn't willing to admit that. And so Lector's reaction is a combination of a few things: A mix of sadness & disappointment, because Will apparently hasn't "evolved" at all since Lector's years of incarceration...which Lector considers a waste... ...and bitterness, of course, since Lector must come to terms with the fact that he got caught by a novice who had not "yet" risen to his level. In Lector's mind, he sees Will as a wolf who is choosing to live among the lambs...and it annoys him. THAT'S who caught him? No, no no no. So Lector agrees to help Will...because he wants to force Will to embrace the parts of him that scares him. He wants Will to be his peer. Anything less is an insult to Lector.
@@MisterSmith00 That's very reasonable, but I said that because the music also stops, so it should have some dramatic and cinematographic meaning.
@@MisterSmith00 Occam's Razor. Will caught Lecter because he IS insane, which, for all his intelligence, put him at a disadvantage. The dude eats people, I mean, seriously.
@@squamish4244 Oh, yes; quite insane.
I actually don't think he is insane, he is aware of his actions at the time he commited murder and there after, he does not suffer from paranoid delusions or auditory or visual hallucinations, Dr Lecter is simply just really evil!
1:55 Hannibal being a child
His own scary way of acting like one.
I don't think he was being a child. I think the comment about him being insane was a reality check
This movie is a masterpiece
Not a bad cell. Nice stone work.
I always try to peg the reason the inspector in the tries to be so humble, Lector seems to almost want to applaud him but he keeps coming up with excuses for Lector "Got Lucky...You had a disadvantage"
Lecter likes to feel superior. His whole gentleman persona screams wanting to be/show how superior he is to all the rest.
And Will is exploiting this. Lecter alsof is much more susceptible to intellectual deprivation than a physical one. The books don't mean much to him..he knows them. He needs new stimulation, just like he needs to play mind games. It's an addiction. Check his excitement when Will enters this battle of wit.
@@anomalyp8584 Which is a good reason not to call him insane, reinforced by the fact that Hannibal is obviously a bit hurt by that put down and comes back with a slew of insults and threats.
I feel he knows Lector is trying to dominate the situation, and that if he falls into his game then it'll get him nowhere. He keeps things to the point to stay on his terms, not lectors, hence why he walked away to say "I am in control of this situation" and in the end got what he came for
The more time Will spends with Lector, the more time he gets exposed to "the ugliest thoughts in the world." Being praised by someone like that would disturb him deeply.
These violent delights have violent ends
Romeo and Juliet reference?
@@underfan47 Westworld
Ricard Ramírez said that too.
"Ill need 1 hour...and privacy" lol! Uhm....Well....You are kind of as private as it can possibly get.
I wish there were more interactions and scenes with Ed Norton and Anthony Hopkins as these characters both before the opening scene in the movie and at different points, from the courtroom and on to various points of the Red Dragon case. In a new movie. Maybe even a scene with Ed’s character and Jodi Foster’s character (played by Jodi Foster). Maybe a movie that covers these moments in the past (with de-aging technology) and coming to the present with Ed Norton and Jodi Foster intellectually chasing Lecter and winning, either with Norton’s character or Foster’s character dying in the end and Lecter getting captured. Sort of a game of chess with Lecter getting outmaneuvered and one of the two protagonist pieces being sacrificed for the win. Again: specifically played by Ed Norton, Anthony Hopkins and Jodi Foster.
Amazing video 🔥🔥🔥
Love the way he says ‘think’; urgh amazing
His pronunciation is flawless. I adore him.
Hard to top
He sounds much more patronizing making the comment about the aftershave with a little ship on the bottle than the actor from Manhunter did.
Norton so good in this , understated but so thoughtful
the drawings on the wall is that Atlas and Lucifer ?
Gruesome isn't he 😆
It is true, Lecter arrogance typical of a psychopath was his downfall by leaving the book in the open and working with the agent who was trying to catch him, he can be smart but his arrogance his psychopathy is a huge disadvantage
Anthony hopkins 😄
"Doesn't matter to me, Will." What does this line mean? I have always wondered.
I think it's because will feels guilty that he is able to think like the killers. like his thoughts makes him like them. Maybe lector is impling that that matters to will. That's why he later says "fear is the price of our instrument"
Maybe he's implying that it matters to will tho I haven't watched the movie so idk
Hannibal doesn't care about what the transcript says
It's supposed to do exactly that. Make you wonder what he meant. It's especially meant for Will. He wants Will to keep coming back to the subject and get neurotic about it. If Will becomes obsessive about Lector, then he is manipulatable. That's the idea.
IT DOES matter to him. The fact is, he is the one who brought up the topic. They want to blatantly display Hannibal’s psychopathy. But at the same time, his genius. Asking for the case files and in one hour, he can solve a difficult FBI case.
Of course I would offer Dr. Lecter to work…. For me.
Regarding the layman comment, obviously the fact that he caught him doesn't make him an expert in academic psychiatry. An imprecise comment from Lecter.
will caught lecter the year 1980 or 1983?
Banner?
Lol.....talking shit about old spice
I like ships.
1:59 when he heard he was insane what he impressed by his face? 😊😊😊😊anyone??
Edward Norton sounds like awkward puppet diego 😁
أول تعليق عربي .
I think the only reason they remade Manhunter was just to cash on the the silence of the lambs popularity. Also, they should've included Multiple Miggs in this movie just give that nostalgic value.
Norton's character is pretty stupid. He keeps trolling Hannibal. Like what do you expect would happen when you do stuff like that? And consider this. Hannibal did get free in the end - what do you think will happen to Will (Norton's character) when Hannibal is free? Lecter was able to track his location while in prison. Trolling him is just asking for a Darwin award - contrast to Barry who was always respectful to Lecter.
This is without a doubt the worst performance Edward Norton ever gave. And one of the hammiest of Hopkins' career.
I would agree and I love Edward Norton
Agree about Norton. Hopkins is great though.
The original acting was way better
at what?
Brian Cox in Manhunter is infinitely better in this scene than Hopkins.
