Guy Pearce almost looks like Flynn, and this resemblance is the only one this film can claim. Nowhere in Flynn's autobiography is the Klaus Reicher character mention, the homosexual encounter is speculative fiction, and the movie's claims that Flynn treated native labor badly are groundless. Director Frank Howson hasn't made any memorable films, and I find it lame for him to groundlessly slander Flynn to further his unremarkable career.

Hannibal
(2001)
The lobotomy scene rocks! (frontal lobe all the way!)
10 February 2001
Brains... it's what's for dinner.
Moore puts to rest the idea that only Jodie Foster can play Starling convincingly. Anthony Hopkins rules as the cannibal with a sense of humor.
This movie shows an audience what 'Silence of the Lambs' only teased its viewers with - a free Hannibal Lecter walking among us. The movie touches upon the whole Lecter/Starling love affair, but Clarice is not made a cannibal like she is in the book.
One almost feels sorry for Lecter... he's being hunted and the only people he's killing are his less than morally upright hunters. Lecter is most charming.
