be busy. busy not checking messages. busy reading those books you never started or finished. busy having a good night of sleep. busy taking care of yourself and your skin. busy moving your body. busy helping your community. busy reflecting on your life and what you can improve. busy doing things aside from the capitalistic viewpoint of “productivity.” busy slowing down.

Just rewatched my favorite movie the other day-- still 5 stars. I finally got my sister to watch it with me and she really enjoyed it, but now she won't stop quoting the infamous Italian scene...

i love how will graham is jack’s oracle who sits at the crime scenes and just starts having visions

10 years ago today, "Secondo" first aired (June 18, 2015).

"Love."

"What your sister made you feel was beyond your conscious ability to control or predict... I would suggest what Will Graham makes you feel is not dissimilar. A force of mind and circumstance."

"Love. He pays you a visit or he doesn't."

~~~

"Betrayal and forgiveness are best seen as something more akin to falling in love."

"You cannot control with respect to whom you fall in love."

Hannibal 3x03 - "Secondo"

Link to my companion post about that particular scene

Here is the song that Hannibal was playing in the clip above:

hannibal nbc where everything is the same but instead this is the intro

it plays out Friends style and has some upbeat romcom music over it

That look that Jack gives Will after Hannibal surrenders and says "I want you to know exactly where I am, and where you can always find me," really says it all. Like, oh yeah, he knows.

There's something about the way Hannibal says "Love" so plainly and immediately because that's truly what it is. The way he just breathes it out almost like a sigh, "Love," like he adores just saying the word when it comes in the context of Will. And the way the notes of the piano punctuate his words... It's said plain and simple, but in reality it carries so much weight.

It carries the weight of their entire relationship prior to this- betrayal and forgiveness and all... "bones and all." Loving Will gives Hannibal great joy, but it has also caused him great sorrow. Here Hannibal acknowledges that his love for Will is "beyond his conscious ability to control or predict," which mirrors his words from earlier in the episode:

"You cannot control with respect to whom you fall in love."

This scene has always stood out to me, and it's still one of my favorite moments. When I was doing my anniversary post series and came up with the idea to do the quotes for each episode, what I immediately thought of was this-

"Love. He pays you a visit or he doesn't."

I think it's safe to say Love has certainly paid Hannibal Lecter a visit.

Hannibal 3x03 - "Secondo"

Currently thinking about how Hannibal probably left the book of time equations open so Will could see cuz it was his way of apologizing.

And we see that Will sees it and looks away quickly. Maybe like it was too much for him to handle, Hannibal being sorry. Or he didn’t want to accept it. Or maybe didn’t think Hannibal set it up, and didn’t want to be caught looking.

And maybe that was the final nail in the coffin for him to realize Hannibal cared for him.

antony dimmond really thought he had rizz when he actually just looked like hannibal's ex.

anyway look at this gif I found

Mads Mikkelsen in The Hunt (Jagten), 2012

For his performance, Mads received the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actor in 2012.

The way Hannibal sees Will, and how Will sees Hannibal.

Their perception of one another for sure, but there's this fact that they reflect each other. Two standing mirrors, face to face: Will sees his own beast within when looking at Hannibal, and Hannibal sees the light he still owns in his soul. The ability to love so intensely, and the state of being comfortably violent. Two aspects of them people mostly assume nonexistent.

I don't think Will ever really knew how he'd be feeling until the very moment he found Hannibal. Sat next to him, watched his face struggling to believe he's really there and he doesn't need to hold onto an imagination of him. Realized what he feels for Hannibal is something more than a twisted codependent friendship. He literally struggles with a huge wave of feelings all during their talk and it's so heartbreaking.

"From out her eyes, wherever they may move

come spirits that are all aflame with Love;

they pierce the eyes of any one who looks

and pass straight through till each one finds the heart;

upon her face you see depicted Love,

there where done dares to hold his gaze too long."

From Dante Alighieri's La Vita Nuova, chapter XIX - 1293

Hannibal 2x08 - "Su-zakana"

Wonderful video by Via Cinema on Christoph Waltz in Tarantino's films.

Will, who looks at Hannibal... with remorse? Regretting how much time they wasted, how he actually loves to see Hannibal free out of that glass box, his "beautiful" personality not lowered to a wild, bloodthirsty creature.

Will, who can't stand the thought of not being able to hear Hannibal's heartbeats when they come to take him away from him again, who can't stand existing in a world where they don't share blood, breath, touch, warmth, life and death.

Will Graham, who chose Hannibal in death over the rest of the world in life.

happy canadian grand prix week this is your reminder of how good carlos sainz looked for canada 2024

"'The end and aim of my love formerly lay in the greeting of this lady to whom you are perhaps referring, and in this greeting dwelt my bliss which was the end of all my desires. But since it pleased her to deny it to me...'"

"'...my lord, Love, through his grace, has placed all my bliss in something that cannot fail me.'"

"Then these ladies began speaking among themselves, and just as the rain can be seen falling mingled with beautiful flakes of snow, so did I seem to hear their words coming forth mingled with sighs."

From Dante's La Vita Nuova, chapter XVIII

Hannibal, 2001

"Joyous Love seemed to me, the while he held

My heart within his hands, and in his arms

My lady lay asleep wrapped in a veil.

He woke her then and trembling and obedient

She ate that burning heart out of his hand;

Weeping I saw him then depart from me."

Dante's first sonnet from La Vita Nuova, translated by Mark Musa

"Dr. Fell, do you believe that a man could become so obsessed with a woman from a single encounter?"

Hannibal 1x01 - "Apéritif"

"Could he daily feel a stab of hunger for her, and find nourishment at the very sight of her? I think so."

Hannibal 3x06 - "Dolce"

"Would she see through the bars of his plight, and ache for him?"
