(i loved twin peaks)
『this was a great series; and the movie was the best part. deffinatly the best of david lynch or anyone else assciated with this movie.』

(Only David Lynch can pull this off...)
『Bizarre
by Clayford (movies profile) Aug 25, 2007

Bizarre. That's one word that comes to mind. Creepy is another. Seedy another. Its all of those words and more. Where evil and the real world meet in the worst kind of fate. No film then or since makes me feel like this almost perfect Lynch film.

I loved this film back in 1992 when it came out (saw it in a Federal Way, WA theatre back then with my ex-wife), and I loved it again today on HBO in my basement here in Horseheads, NY. I did not see a single episode of the TV series and, for me, this probably helped.

There's so much I could touch on, scene by lovely/horrid scene. But that would take days. Let me just say that every detail is done right. Freaky Feds? Truly inventive. Teenage angst? Looks at it perfectly. Rebellion from psychosis from incest. Creepy as it comes.

Let me ask a question for you. This is only for those of you who have sought after the good times, the high times that only booze, drugs and premature sex will bring. Have you ever found yourself in a situation, at night, high as a kite (or at least looking to get that way) and the situation turns ugly? Where the people around you (be they in a bar or some drug dealers house you don't know) start to make you feel really uncomfortable? Someone's worse off for their high and they start picking fights and talking *****, etc.? The fear and seediness in life that I felt in situations like that is where this film takes me. To my lowest and dirtiest.

Electric Bob lives in my nightmares, too, Laura! Oh, that didn't come out right, but you know what I mean. I'd of come up with that strange electric substitute myself if my Dad was doing me since I was 13. The way Lynch brings all of the craziness together after he confuses is nearly perfect. Poor Laura. I think she saw it coming. And then the Angel at the end. She thought she was going somewhere that angels don't live. She didn't see that one coming. Saved in the end. Perfect. Great film』

(The Cycles of Abuse and The Symbolic Keys to Laura Palmer's Murder.)
『This film should be viewed as an addendum to the entire Two Season epic television series TWIN PEAKS. (They've finally worked all the bugs out of the TWIN PEAKS - THE DEFINITIVE GOLD BOX EDITION, which is a worthwhile purchase for all Lynch fans.) When viewing David Lynch's brilliantly underrated prequel TWIN PEAKS FIRE WALK WITH ME, it is important to understand some key elements to Lynchean symbolism. David Lynch is an adherent of Eastern Vedic philosophy and meditation. Along with Eastern Vedic thought, Lynch also mixes shamanism and Christian mysticism into the much bigger cauldron of "The Perennial Philosophy." (A term made popular in 1945 by Aldous Huxley's book by the same name.) The Perennial Philosophy is the recurrence of all universal religious or mystical truths inherently found in most cultures.

The Dreaming World: To mystics and shamans of countless cultures, the dreaming world is just as important as, if not more important than, the waking world. It is the place where the subconscious is free to associate with the superconscious mind, or the source of all consciousness. Like the dreaming world, the waking world is also a construct of perception. Pictures, images, and symbols. This is why it is hard to separate the dream world, or non-reality, from normal reality in most of Lynch's work. Dreams and normal reality are one and the same. The building blocks of the phenomenal world are illusive and illusory constructs. The pictures and images we witness as reality are essentially the same as the pictures and images we witness as dreams or non-reality. They are only constructs of consciousness. They are transitory states of perception that rise and fall out of emptiness.

Like many other Lynch films, FIRE WALK WITH ME depicts the dual nature of a waking and dreaming world. These two worlds do not separate in The Lynchean Universe.

Not all, but some of the actors from the TWIN PEAKS television series, and most of the critics, felt that Lynch had lost something with this film that was a part of the original television series: the dark underbelly of evil that was hidden just beneath the surface of a small idyllic town in Northern Washington. They felt that the film was too "in your face." (See the documentary on this disc.) While it is hard to witness, it was important for Lynch to pull no punches in depicting the events of Laura Palmer's tragic murder. Although it appears as such, the abuse and destruction of Laura Palmer is not a bogeyman lurking beneath her bed. It is the beast in man displayed in full form, breathing his foul stench into the face of the innocent. It is the curdled cream that floats to the top of a festering cup of evil coffee. A damn fine cup of evil coffee. It is not a story to be presented delicately or to be brushed under the rug to make it more palatable. It is a story of abuse that happens everyday. It depicts the harrowing, violation, and destruction of an innocent girl. Because of Sheryl Lee's brave and amazing performance, it is an extremely effective film. Psychologically and emotionally.

The film begins with the investigation into the murder of Laura Palmer's friend Teresa Banks, and takes place one year before the final days of Laura's life. The beginning of the film seems tacked on and unrelated to the events that take up the majority of the film one year later. But, this prologue is not superfluous. It is important to understand the symbolism of The Disappearing Agents. (See below.)

****************************SPOILERS*********************************

The symbol of The Doors: Doors are used by Lynch as symbols for entering into and out of subconscious memories, the hidden aspects of the psychological mind, the dreaming world, Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory.

The symbols of dream color: Dream colors are important to understanding Lynch. In dream sybolism, the color "blue" symbolizes truth, eternity, emotion, the feminine, and Heaven. Blue angels respresent guardian spirits or the super-ego. Blue light represents truth, enlightenment, Heaven, Nibbana (blowing out the FIRES of greed, hatred, and delusion), or Nirvana. I don't fully understand the meaning of the Blue Rose. Agent Cooper, referring to the murder of Teresa Banks says, "This is one of Gordon's Blue Rose cases." What does he mean? As blue can also represent sadness, it may signify the murder of a lonely girl, unclaimed by family or friends. The color "red" symbolizes power, anger, hatred, the id, primal and sexual urges, the masculine, and Hell.

The symbols of The Black Lodge and The Red Room: The Black Lodge represents the purgatory of samsara, ignorance, or the blinding ego of the self. The Red Room in the Black Lodge represents the lowest level of the self in The Black Lodge. The id, the primal self, animal urges, suffering, murder, or Hell. (Briefly, because it is not mentioned in FWWM, The White Lodge represents escape from samsara, egoless enlightenment, Nirvana, or Heaven.)

The symbols of The Demons: Bob is not presented as a symbol, but as a physical entity. Bob is an entity that feeds on fear, pain, and sorrow. "Garmonbozia." As a symbol, The Demon Bob represents the id, primal animal instinct, suffering, and/or pure evil. The Boy in the Mask (The Jumping Man) represents the fusion of the Leland/Bob personality. The monkey behind the mask represents Leland's primal self. Bob as his dark half. The incestuous and animal urges of Leland's id. The dwarf, or Man from Another Place represents the missing arm of The One Armed Man (Philip Gerard). The dwarf is The One Armed Man's connection to his base or animal self, The Red Room, and to Bob. He is still partly trapped in that world by his own karma. (At one time, The One Armed Man committed atrocities with Bob. Or, was possessed by Bob.) Other demons may represent other hidden aspects of the primal mind.

The symbol of Bob as psychological denial: Unfortunately, Laura is in many ways a victim of forces beyond her control (rape and incest). This makes her journey even more frightening and sad. The manifestation of Bob represents Laura's psychological denial of her incestuous rape by Leland. The memory of Leland raping Laura since she was 12 years old, is replaced with the image of Bob as her attacker. Instead of fleeing from the years of abuse, Laura hides her true self inside her secret diary. As do most victims of abuse, Laura escapes psychological and physical torment into a world of self-abuse, drugs (cocaine), alcohol, and prostitution. (Sometimes victims of abuse will cut themsleves, which thankfully, Lynch does not portray here. )Years of abuse become psychological transference. Laura feels she doesn't deserve love on any level. She is empty and worthless. She becomes a self-loathing symbol of sexual lust, perversion, and desire to men. In the days proceeding her death, her choices are becoming limited, and her destiny is almost etched in stone. A force of karma that must be played out. In the most profound scene of the entire film, before heading into the hedonistic Pink Room, Laura receives a warning from The Log Lady about the path she has chosen to continue upon, which is only partly, of her own making. It is heartbreaking.

"When this kind of fire starts. it is very hard to put out. The tender bows of innocence burn first and the wind rises - then all goodness is in jeopardy."
LOG LADY

Eventually, Leland/Bob finds Laura's diary, steals her true self, and shatters her identity completely. Only after many years of psychological trauma and denial, does Laura finally realize that Bob is actually her father Leland. Innocence is completely destroyed. Laura gives in to utter abandonment and fear, which leaves her defenseless against her total destruction. That fear is completely devoured by Bob, who only exists to feed on fear.

The symbols of The Pictures: The original picture that hangs upon the wall of Laura's bedroom depicts children being served food by a guardian angel. This picture represents the love, warmth, comfort, and protection of home, which is disappearing for Laura. The other picture given to her by The Demons from The Black Lodge, which she later hangs upon her wall, depicts an empty room with an open door. This picture represents the Door to Hell. The disappearance of the guardian angel from the original picture on her bedroom wall symbolizes a point of no return for Laura. Laura's descent has taken her so far down the road to Hell that her guardian angel spirit (also symbolized by Agent Dale Cooper) can no longer save her from her fate, karma, or destiny. The second picture or symbol, supplants or usurps the original. Once Laura is pictured inside the door, there is no return. She will die.

The symbol of The Guardian Angel: A recurrent symbol for Lynch. By the end of the film, Ronette Polaski's guardian angel appears to her, as Laura is being murdered by Leland/Bob, and spares her from Laura's fate. (Ronette is later found alive in the TV series.) Only after Laura dies is she visited in the Red Room by her guardian angel and Agent Cooper. She then realizes that her pain and sorrow has reached an end. She will be released from puragtory, samsara, and suffering. A better world awaits her on the other side.

The symbols of The Green Ring and The Disappearing Agents: Agent Desmond (Chris Isaak) is transported to the Black Lodge after finding The Green Ring under the trailer and bending over to pick it up. Like the Door to Hell picture, The Green Ring symbolizes a path of no return. When Laura puts it on, she will die. Green symbolizes a "going out," traveling, or leaving this world. The disappearance of Agent Jeffries (David Bowie) and Agent Desmond symbolize the good men who investigate these horrible crimes. They are transported into a psychological Hell, from which there is little or no escape. These are men that risk their own sanity and psychological well being in their battle with evil forces, and their search for justice. (In the series, while inside The Black Lodge, Agent Cooper agrees to trade his soul to Windom Earle for Annie Blackburn's. Annie's murdered image appears briefly in FWWM. Cooper himself becomes possessed by Bob at the end of the series. Too bad we never got to see where that journey would lead.) I choose to believe that the disappearing agents are Lynch's symbolic homage to them. They are the brave ones that walk around inside the psyches of these demons. Sometimes, they never return from the Hell of what they've seen. Hence, their disappearance in this film.

********************************************

There are animals rapists, demons, and monsters that walk among us. FIRE WALK WITH ME is an amazing metaphor for the destructive power they possess over their innocent victims. The victims can either be total strangers, or the immediate family members of these evil beings. The abused often become the abusers, and if not completely destroyed, often continue a neverending cycle of abuse and destruction. These themes are as just as profound today as when Lynch made this film. These monsters continue to walk among us.

The DVD includes a great documentary with the reflections of the cast and crew on the entire TWIN PEAKS phenomenon. It also includes some online features which I have not perused. As with most Lynch films, the DVD is not divided into chapters.

A very powerful film about a very dark subject. And, one of Lynch's best.

Enjoy.』

(Blank as a fart)
『" My mind is as blank as a fart" states Jacque in the uber drugged up scene somewhere in Canada. That is my favorite line from that movie. At the end of August I decided to have an outdoor movie party, with my video projector and computer speakers. What movie should I show? Well everybody loves Twin Peaks, right? My wife invited a lot of her friends, who were much younger than me, and to my surprise, most of them were unfamiliar with the series. They found the movie to be a real downer- which it is, a high school girl who was raped by her father and ultimately killed by him. I realized that the only people who can really appreciate this film are ones familiar with the series. I also realized how old I am. Watch Twin Peaks before watching this movie』

(Bob's your Daddy!)
『Although TP: FWWM isn't Lynch's best work it still packs a hefty punch, and contains most of his trademark touches, both lucid and opaque. The exploration of Laura Palmer's self-indulgent descent into hedonistic hell can be a little tedious at times but is utterly mesmerising for the most part. Laura is about as self-destructive as a teenager can get, although it's clear from very early on that she's being prodded towards the precipice by a number of external influences. The Palmer family is a fragile and disturbed unit and tragedy is inevitable. There are some particularly memorable scenes, especially those inside the The Bang Bang Bar, which Laura frequents in order to satisfy her desperate urges.

Lynch and Engels have fashioned a fascinating and engrossing study of the last few days of an anguished life. If you're familiar with the wonderful TV series the outcome is known, but there is still plenty of tension and Laura's demise remains a brutal shock. As a companion piece to the ground-breaking TV series, or if you just enjoy Lynch's work in general, this is essential viewing.

It's also worth mentioning the score by Angelo Badalamenti, which is haunting throughout. And, of course, the marvellous Twin Peaks theme is used again here, and it's always a joy to hear that melancholy guitar!』
『Movie DVD』
『Alternately fascinating and frustrating--and no doubt deliberately so on both counts--this controversialTwin Peaksinstallment (it was roundly booed by mystified audiences at the Cannes Film Festival) appeared in theaters after the series was canceled, serving as both prequel and coda to the whole remarkableTwin Peaksphenomenon. Designed especially for dedicated followers of the series (it would just bewilder anyone else),Fire Walk with Mefurther investigates the murder of Laura Palmer by exploring events that took place before the series's brilliant debut feature (Twin Peaks: The Premiere), up to and including the long, dark, terrible night of Laura's death. FamiliarTwin Peaksdenizens Sheryl Lee, Grace Zabriskie, and Ray Wise (as the three members of the Palmer family), Kyle MacLachlan, Peggy Lipton, James Marshall, Dana Ashbrook, Miguel Ferrer, Mädchen Amick, and director David Lynch himself reprise their series roles (with Moira Kelly subbing for Lara Flynn Boyle as Donna Hayward), joined by an equally motley group of guest stars, including Harry Dean Stanton, David Bowie, Chris Isaak, and Kiefer Sutherland.--Jim Emerson』

(Shakespeare Meets Val Lewton)
『Along the Maine seashore, in nights dark and stormy, a tale unfolds:

"Full fathom five thy father lies,
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes,
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange."

-Shakespeare, "The Tempest." Ariel's Song, Act I.2.

Something rich and strange, a delicious sea-change, is the theater of "Dark Shadows." Enjoy!

』

(Nice introduction to series)
『For those who aren't familiar with the series, this collection is a great way to become acquainted with it. The DVD begins with a 10-15 minute introduction on the early episodes before picking up where Barnabus Collins is introduced. The rest, as they say, is history. Nice DVD!』

(none)
『not bad for a early vampire series price a little high, liked the character develpment at the start was nice!』

(Enter Barnabas Collins, Stage Left)
『What's best about this first collection is the 20-minute introduction, giving us a quick rundown on the 200 episodes leading up to the arrival of "cousin Barnabas from London," making it even more clear that the series never hit upon the right combination until Jonathan Frid joined the cast. Apres him, the bloody deluge! Great campy B&W fun.』

(The World is Introduced to Barnabas Collins!)
『In 1966,the world was introduced to Barnabas Collins.These black and
white episodes were actually filmed in kinescope.In the 1960s,soap
operas were shown live.The kinescope filming process simply involves a
camera filming a show on a tv screen,whilst another camera is transmitting the television show live.The black and white film magnifies the suspense.
In these episodes,the plight of Barnabas Collins is portrayed in vivid detail.He strikes us as a tortured soul whom is ashamed of what he is.I will not spoil any of the suprises by divulging important details.Grab some popcorn,turn out the lights,and enter the whimsical world of Dark Shadows.

(Thriller That Doens't Make Much Sense)
『Sometimes the production history behind a film is more interesting than the film itself (like, say, "Town and Country"). Even if you don't know "Horsemen," directed by JonasÅkerlund, ("Spun") went through re-shoots and re-edits, you will know something is wrong with the thriller that has only 90 minutes. Several parts are never explained (and not in the way that will make the film intriguing). The film opens promisingly, but soon loses its way and the wrap-up is terribly rushed. In short, the story of "Horsemen" doesn't make much sense.

Dennis Quaid plays a Detroit police detective Aidan Breslin, whose beloved wife died recently. The hardened detective has to investigate a string of grisly ritualistic serial murders, and he discovers Kristin (Ziyi Zhang), a beautiful daughter of one victim, knows the truths behind the cases.

The film's effective photography captures the cold, chilling atmosphere that perfectly matches the story, and Ziyi Zhang's rather campy acting is kind of attractive, but the storyline remains weak and unfocused throughout, not strong enough to attract the viewers. Cryptic messages left at the crime scenes are not really interesting, neither are the film's biblical references. Dennis Quaid's police detective actually has little to do while investigating. Reliable and talented actors like Clifton Collins Jr. are wasted, or just forgotten.

There are some moments in "Horsemen," where the incredible story shows a sign of improvement as a thriller or a drama. That never happens, however. At the end of the film, you will be left wondering "Did I miss something?" Sadly, no, you didn't.』

(Worse than CSI and Criminal Minds combined!)
『A "B" movie with a normally good main actor. But, that is the GOOD news. The graphic violence is not well documented in many reviews. This is a sick movie without a single redeeming factor. If you choose to watch this movie, please send the kids to bed. The creators of this movie are probably as sick as the movie they created - no doubt for shock value, but, hey, I like Halloween. This is sordid, sick and should be shredded! It could actually help sick people become violent, in my opinion. YUK!』

('Come And See' One Of The Year's Most Under-Rated Movies)
『A psychological horror thriller, Horsemen follows detective Aidan Breslin (Dennis Quaid) and other officers on the Detroit police force as they investigate a series of connected brutal murders in which the victims have been tortured to death and the words 'Come And See' are left at the scenes, both goading investigators on and hinting at something bigger yet to come. Breslin, already dark and distant since the death of his wife several years earlier, is drawn into obsession on the case and further away from his increasingly estranged children at home. It's eventually deciphered that the 'Come And See' warning and certain other clues left at the crime scenes tie in with Biblical references to the coming of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Things get weirder as suspects for the killings start emerging - not the people the police thought would be involved with acts this horrific, and as very disturbing facts about the pasts of some of the victims get called into question. Horsemen takes a different route than Saw - Unrated (Two-Disc Special Edition) and other recent horror movies with a torture theme: most (though not all) of the grisliest acts take place largely offscreen, seen in glimpses or in the still shots of crime scene photos, and in the reactions of the characters who come upon the crime scenes, who view video footage that turns up, etc. It fits in well with the air of mystery the movie builds as to who the real killers are, what the ultimate agenda is, and all the other facets of the film that stay largely in the dark until the end. There are major surprise revelations throughout - not just at the end - and the ultimate revelations at the end are dramatic and jolting. With the secrets Horsemen has set itself up to reveal, there are so many ways this movie could have fallen on its face, but it avoids every one of them. A powerful, frightening and very under-rated movie, superbly acted by the whole cast.』

(Zi, Quaid and the Swedes)
『I mildly watchable, mildly grotesque whodunnit so full of clichés that vital twists are predictable. I watched it intently, however, for 3 reasons: Zhang Ziyi (in an English language role), Dennis Quaid and the visuals by two Swedes, Jonas Åkerlund (director) and Eric Broms (DP). If it weren't for them, this film would have gotten 2 stars from me.

Dennis has gotten beefier and more eccentric -- and also more effortlessly magnetic. He was in every scene as the relentless detective with family issues -- and, as an actor, he never flagged. So it was quite an accomplishment for Zhang Ziyi, in a much smaller role, to share a few scenes with him and still be memorable.

The rewriting to accommodate her casting was sloppy (primarily, she's too old for the role as written). But that was the fault of the writers. She did wonders with what was given her. And she's sexier in this role than in any other role I've seen her in -- and she spends most of her time heavily covered up.

Ultimately, a disappointing story -- but much of the journey kept promising something better. And, unlike most Hollywood films today, this was a visually pleasing movie (except for the gore, that is).』

(Decent movie for the first half, but then...)
『I picked this up because it looked interesting, Dennis Quaid is a really good actor, and Zhang Ziyi was in it. The movie seemed pretty interesting and enjoyable for the first half, even though it was obviously something of a "Se7en" copycat. I was surprised by the turn involving Zhang Ziyi's character, which was good, since a suspense movie is usually improved when the story has some surprises in store for you. Alas, from that turn, the movie started to go downhill. It was painfully predictable from that point on. (Read no further if don't want spoilers.) I knew just as soon as they set Detective Breslin's (Dennis Quaid's) oldest son Alex up as a very bright, but unmotivated student, and made a point (over and over again) of the fact that Breslin's work keeps him from spending much time with his boys, that the oldest kid was going to be the ringleader of the four murderers who call themselves "The Four Horsemen." At the end, we're obviously supposed to be torn up at the heart-wrenching conclusion, when Breslin discover's what his son has done, and his son suicides in front of him to confront him with his failure as a father. I had almost the opposite reaction. My first thought was "have we really become so self-indulgent as culture, that we are supposed to feel sympathy with someone who commits multiple, horrific torture-murders because his daddy didn't pay him enough attention?!? Are you kidding me!?"

Another problem is that this whole thing just doesn't feel true. Breslin's son really isn't all that believable as a serial killer, given his character background. Perhaps it's just because, thanks to my work, I know too much about them and their usual characteristics. John Doe, in "Se7en" was a believable serial killer, because he was given several characteristics of a psychopath -- which almost all serial killers are, and which is defined as someone who lacks empathy and guilt, who is egocentric and impulsive, who can often convincingly fake the human emotions he lacks, and who does not conform to social norms, conventional morality and society's laws. John Doe was also a classic "mission-oriented" serial killer (as opposed to a lust killer whose crimes sexually gratify him; a hedonistic serial killer, who derives pleasure from killing; or a "visionary" serial killer, who suffers psychotic breaks with reality, and acts out of his delusions). Breslin's son is obviously meant to be a mission oriented serial killer like John Doe was, but again, his history doesn't fit, and his obvious care for his younger brother isn't consistent with a real serial killer's psychopathic personality. Also, almost all serial killers underwent some form of actual abuse, whether physical, sexual, or psychological/emotional as a children, which doesn't apply to Alex either. In fact, nothing in this kid's past is really characteristic of a serial killer. The only character in the film who does have typical serial killer factors in her past is Zhang Ziyi's, but her behavior is more characteristic of male serial killers than the female ones (who almost always have a different MO).

Anyway, this is a movie that started out well, but once it became clear where they were going with it, it quickly lost steam and became just another mediocre copycat picture.』
『AT HOME, HARDENED POLICE DETECTIVE AIDAN BRESLIN HAS GROWN INCREASINGLY DISTANT FROM HIS TWO YOUNG SONS, ALEX AND SEAN, SINCE THE DEATH OF HIS WIFE. AT WORK, HE FINDS HIMSELF THRUST INTO AN INVESTIGATION OF PERVERSE SERIAL KILLINGS ROOTED IN THE BIBLICAL PROPHECY OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE.』
『At home, hardened police detective Aidan Breslin (Dennis Quaid) has grown increasingly distant from his two young sons, Alex (Lou Taylor Pucci) and Sean (Liam James), since the death of his wife. At work, he finds himself thrust into an investigation of perverse serial killings rooted in the Biblical prophecy of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: The White Horseman, a master of deception and the unexpected leader hell-bent on conquest; The Red Horseman, a sharp-witted warrior intent on turning man against man, with an innocence that hides a burning rage within; The Black Horseman, a manipulative and dark tyrant, unbalanced but always one step ahead; and The Pale Horseman, an executioner with disarming strength, determined to spread death through surgical precision.

Very silly stuff for the sake of a guilty pleasure.) 『The movie is simply this: Hannibal had a bad childhood where his mom and dad died in WWII and his sister was cannibalized by Nazis. From there the movie devolves into a string of silly scenes which work more as parody of the typical revenge flick than as a thriller. And what scenes there are. The one which stands out in my mind was where his childhood home is converted into a boarding school, where he stands up to one of the bullies and is chastised by the headmaster for picking on bullies! Go figure! And it just gets worse from there. I've mentioned that this movie is a guilty pleasure. But not because it's a great thriller or its narrative is coherent. Rather, it is easily understood to the point that it's so dumbed down that you can tell that the actors can't even bring themselves to take it all seriously. It's hysterical when it should be serious. For a thriller that's a rather dubious quality to have. What a long way this series fell from the greatness of "Manhunter" and "Silence". Now all we need is "Hannibal: The Musical" to make the series complete. 』 (Hannibal Rises To The Ocassion) 『Some people have complained about Thomas Harris writing the screenplay as well as the novel to "Hannibal Rising"; well after the way David Mamet and Steve Zaillion's screenplay butcheded the end of "Hannibal", I am sure that he did not want HIS character getting ruined again. I throughly enjoyed watching Hannibal do away with those who truly deserved it; especially those who killed his sister. I absolutely enjoyed the way he cut down the butcher who was rude to his aunt. It is ashame that the series seems to have come to an end with this book/movie. I will always look forward to any adventures with the good doctor.』 (The Explanation of Our Sympathy and Understanding of Hannibal) 『Gaspard Ulliel is the young Anthony Hopkins in every move, look and determination to be savage. We see Hannibal and his sister Misha with their whole family in a rich, beautiful and loving family. As the movie begins director Peter Weber opens the movie to one of the most beautiful scenes in the woods by a lake with the Lecter Castle magically situated in the background. Hannibal and Misha are playing and we feel so close to these unknown children. They are giggling and laughing reminding me of days with one of my younger sisters who was too young to really communicate. Misha has such a wonderful innocence and trusting character that you wish she were your daughter. Tragedy quickly strikes as fast as lightening and we are swept up into a war with our wonderful Lecter family's get away. We wish them to move faster. They finally reach their cabin and war breaks out as they have all been told where to stand while Hannibal and Misha may stay in the house. Russian planes attack the opposing soldiers getting water from the cabin's well. A plane crash hits an object while other planes fire on any one they choose. Thus begins Hannibal's relentless protection of Misha as long as he can. Then the memories of life with Misha seems like a spike in Gaspard's heart as he searches for Misha's killers. Gaspard begins the construction of understanding Anthony Hopkins Oscar winning performance of the Hannibal we all know and hate/love. Every scene explains why Hopkins did this or that or how he knows fine things. Gaspard is highly intelligent and has no free time but to build on the rage burning in Gaspard from his childhood. This movie is thrilling to watch. My roommate and I know all the words. We have watched it at least 30 times and have enjoyed it more on each viewing. Tonight we listened to director Peter Weber and Ms De Laurentiis. They are just fantastic speakers concentrating on what we were seeing. I've listened to other directors who are lackluster or talk too much to their guests; we never learn the anatomy of each scene that we come upon. Like the movie HostelHostel (Unrated Widescreen Edition). Even though there are 4 director commentaries he talks too much about Hollywood and film making and we barely ever learn more than what we see. Commentaries have to become more informative and people friendly. Hannibal Rising is a masterpiece of collaborate effort and we have to thank it mostly to the wonderful writing of Thomas Harris. Now I'm tempted to read the book. See Hannibal Rising and discover how Gaspard grows up to be the horrific Anthony Hopkin's as Hannibal. Believe me this ties all the know-hows and reasons for all the Hannibal movies. Bravo to Gaspard Utilliel, Li Gong, and especially for Thomas Harris the writer and director Peter Weber. Hannibal is a unique and terrifying character. Hannibal Rising opens up the beginnings of Lecter and what is yet to come. Just fantastic! 』 (The most important questions are never answered) 『"Hannibal Rising" doesn't answer the most important questions. Such as: how does the liver of a war criminal taste with chianti? How many Hilfswillige can you consume at one single occasion? Why weren't there any starlings among the ortolans? And where were the French police when Vichy put little children on trains to Auschwitz? And do Japanese women really have....? Frankly, this movie really sucks. "The silence of the lambs" was a *very* good movie. "Hannibal" was not. Care for some delicious brain, inspector Starling? And now this... Incidentally, I also wonder how a bourgeois defector from Soviet Lithuania could return to the USSR in the middle of the Cold War, using his real name? Perhaps Hannibal the Cannibal had connections with Beria? One star. Time for a snack... 』 『(Horror/Suspense) The terrifying Silence of the Lambs prequel that reveals the history of the infamous Hannibal and how he came to be a cannibalistic murderer.』 『ThoughHannibal Rising'sLecter (Gaspard Ulliel) is a pussycat compared to Anthony Hopkins inSilence of the Lambs, this sequel's story of revenge is grizzly enough to satisfy lovers of Thomas Harris's epic tale. After young Hannibal (Aaron Thomas) is forced to watch his little sister, Mischa (Helena Lia Tachovska), devoured by starving soldiers in his homeland Lithuania, Hannibal vows to avenge his sister's death by slaying those who committed not only war crimes against the Lecters, but also against other families during WW II. In detailing Hannibal's revenge plan, the film investigates the psychological implications of witnessing cannibalism to justify Hannibal's insatiable appetite for human flesh. The most interesting aspect ofHannibal Rising—its analytical connections drawn between Hannibal's childhood traumas and his murderous adult obsessions—is also the film's weak point. The links oversimplify Lecter's complex character. For example, though titillating to see flashbacks of Lecter's sister hacked up and boiled while Lecter visits a Parisian meat market, the reference is too obvious. One learns why he excels in his medical school classes dissecting cadavers, and we're given explicit explanation for why he slices off and eats his victims' cheeks. The story only complicates when Hannibal interacts with his sexy Aunt, Lady Murasaki (Gong Li). When Murasaki educates him in the art of beheading, the viewer sees Hannibal's sword fetish as a manifestation of physical lust.--Trinie Dalton』
