y’all ever notice how Hannibal can’t seem to look Will in the eye when he admits “for both of us?” Like, when he says “this is all I ever wanted for you, Will” he looks straight at Will, because this is something that Will already knew, he isn’t admitting anything. But this seems to be the first time that he admits to Will that he wants them to be together, to kill together and do other stuff together, he’s looking down away from Will as if he’s afraid of the reaction he’s going to get.
And then, after that “it’s beautiful,” you see, in those famous Lecter microexpressions, the relief that Will feels the same, and he looks at him with this sort of wonder, his mouth opens, like he can’t quite believe it.
And when Will hugs him, and pulls him close, his eyes close in disbelief that after so long, he’s finally able to do this, before he leans in close to nuzzle Will.
Thank you to: Daniel Bødker Sørensen (Hunchback Media) for having the Lauritzen Fonden video of Mads Mikkelsen, [“Male Actor of the Year” and Recipient of the 2018 Lauritzen Prize Award, on September 9, 2018 in Copenhagen, Denmark] translated with English Subtitles.
“…last
year this photograph of children looking at their smartphones by Rembrandt’s ‘The
Night Watch’ in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam
[went viral.] It was often accompanied by outraged, dispirited comments such as
“a perfect metaphor for our age,” “the end of civilization” or “a sad picture of
our society”.
…It turns out that the Rijksmuseum has an app that, among other
things, contains guided tours and further information about the works on display.
As part of their visit to the museum, the children, who minutes earlier had admired
the art and listened attentively to explanations by expert adults, had been instructed
to complete an assignment by their school teachers, using, among other things, the
museum’s excellent smartphone app….
The tragic thing is that this — the truth — will
never go viral. So, I wonder, what is more likely to bring about the death of civilization,
children using smartphones to learn about art or the willful ignorance of adults
who are too quick to make assumptions?” José Picardo, Medium
