There are two parts of the film Hannibal Rising that interest me the most.

First one is the first 10 minutes of the film.
The horrors of little Hannibal witnessing his beloved sister, Mischa treated brutally, killed and eaten.
This later, as said in the film, has made the child Hannibal died in there.
There was still the body and the mind, but no soul.

A human treated inhumanly finally lost one’s humanity.

Second one is at the 10 minutes before the end of the film.
When Hannibal said to Lady Murasaki, "Please don’t leave me, I love you".
Then the beautiful aunty looked to him sadly and said, "What’s left in you to love?"

What’s left in a human if one lost one’s humanity?

It will be like the Jedi knight which fallen to the dark side.
Like Spiderman in his black-powerful-but-evil-outfit which made him throw a bomb to his childhood friend.

It started with a vengeful mind, hatred and abusive power.
And ended with one as Darth Vader, Venom or Hannibal Lecter.
