The 1991 classic is such a thrilling crime drama but wouldn’t it be as creepy and (quite frankly) hilarious if Hannibal Lecter fell in love with Detective Starling? No? Well, we think so!
This is almost as creepy as the original. Really well done editing.
Nailed it.
I can easily imagine that this edit is how he sees their relationship.
As a thought experiment, swap in any real-world MRA-sociopath for Lecter.
