I think the problem was the author, Thomas Harris , had really run out of ideas after the 2nd book (Silence..) , but he was offered so much money he just couldn't resist, and so turned out any old nonsense which led to those 2 awful films.

The film got slated - but the book was OK. As for the second Hannibal film - the book was really about how we all become corrupted by small steps/lapses until we're melting our granny into soap and eating our firstborn (with a hint of garlic). A bit like your first post on here - reply to a thread on what's your favourite vegetable and before you know it, you're sodomizing babycakes and/or fresh.
Also the second book( but strangely, not the film!) dealt with the political power of the American meat industry. Such as Acts of Congress to allow a certain amount of animal faeces into the meat - hey, the little brutes tend to relax their sphincters on being slaughtered. And where do you think swine flu came from?

The director of the Hannibal film decided that Thomas Harris's ending was too unrealistic (Lecter's long-term sedation of Starling leading her to fall in love with him).
He consequently altered the closing reel to portray Lecter chopping his own hand off (rather than Starling's) to avoid capture. This was even more unrealistic in my view; Harris's creation was the ultimate sociopath.

Cox was good. The Welsh alcoholic was slightly more sinister.
Mind you, I could probably frighten you as much, if i put my mind to it. Fortunately my mind is mostly destroyed.
