Hannibal: Why so much confusion? (SPOILER)
Jamie Eveleigh
I don't get it. Isn't it clear that he cuts off his own hand? Are people
complete morons? Clarice has two hands afterwards and he has a bandage when
on the plane. Do people now need subtitles in movies explaining what's
happening? Argh.
SDM
I got a poser for ya: Did he get the hand and have it reattached, or just
leave it behind? As a doctor, he should know that just because it's cut off
(or the thumb was, as another member here hypothesized) it isn't lost
forever.
Thomas Andrews
Where does a fugitive who has just cut off his hand/thumb/whatever go to get
it re-attached? These surgeries are fairly rare, and often take a
*very* long time. This story is gonna hit the news immediately. So who
is going to do the surgery? Lecter himself? That seems unlikely - this
surgery is hard enough with two hands and a team around you, but one hand
and performing it on yourself? The movies give Lecter a lot of stamina
and intellect, but this is stretching the bounds of logic.
Now, if he had cut off Starling's hand, then she could get it reattached.
Does anybody remember from the book why Lecter wasn't caught after he fed
Mason's face to the dogs? Did Mason just not remember who did it? Or
did he fall into a coma? I recall a little of the backstory of Lecter's
initial capture from "Red Dragon," and in that, they had no idea right
up until the detective had an "intuition."

Since he had the big butcher knife, he should've wacked the metal links in
the
cuffs, thus saving his hands. The current ending made him look 'softie,'
which
is so anti-Hannibal Lecter. Still, I really liked the movie and would
recommend
it.

I think the lack of blood on starling was confusing?
btw he was out of handcuffs with a ink pin but needed to cut something here
wasn't the saw in the kitchen

Perhaps he cut it off and ate it.

There's not a chance in hell that a butcher knife could slice through
handcuffs, but I think the main point of the scene was to show that
Hannibal still has some sort of weird respect and love for Clarice that
he was willing to cut off his own hand to escape rather than hers. Also,
Clarice is pretty much Hannibal's toy, so I'm guessing he didn't want to
harm her so that he can still have fun jacking with her head.

I think in the book that Lecter cuts his face off and then breaks his neck -
this puts him in a coma. In Red Dragon they mention the victim on the
ventilator, but it was Will Graham's intuition that finally caught him.
