Red Dragon (novel)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

* [[Narm Charm]]: "Ride with me. For my pleasure." Helped by Ralph Fiennes accent.

* [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny]]: Some modern readers have decried Dolarhyde, a [[Axe Crazy|vicious psychopath who does the most horrible things possible]] to the most undeserving people possible but [[Freudian Excuse|has a traumatic childhood that makes him sympathetic]], as a cliche. Clearly they're unaware of how groundbreaking this was at the time.

* [[~~Spot Light~~ Stealing Squad]]: In the original book of Red Dragon, Hannibal Lecter is a [[One Scene Wonder]] who appears for about seven pages. Good pages, but still. The VHS/DVD release for the first film now advertises it as "the beginning of Hannibal Lecter's legacy" and the poster for the second film is mostly [[Floating Head Syndrome|a giant picture of his head]].

* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: In the original book of Red Dragon, Hannibal Lecter is a [[One-Scene Wonder]] who appears for about seven pages. Good pages, but still. The VHS/DVD release for the first film now advertises it as "the beginning of Hannibal Lecter's legacy" and the poster for the second film is mostly [[Floating Head Syndrome|a giant picture of his head]].

* [[Squick]]: What Dolarhyde does with his victims.

* [[The Woobie]]: Reba McClane, particularly as played by [[Emily Watson]].
