I have read the book "Red Dragon" and am therefore become aware of Manhunter. First, there was to buy the video in Germany, neither the DVD, which is why the anticipation was so huge when I pushed the video in the recorder. And I was not disappointed! It entseht in any case a huge stress and the urge to continue seeing him. However, in Manhunter the fantasies and the psyches is only the act of "Red Dragon" demonstrated little painted. And the conclusion is completely changed in relation to the book, it seemed to me as before as if the director had no desire to bring the film neatly finished. In the book, the inner conflict of Francis Dollarhyde was described in detail in it with the Red Dragon, in Manhunter sees only briefly hang the picture on the wall. The things with symbolic significance, such as the teeth, the wheelchair, the weight training and killing of domestic animals missing. Nevertheless, I give it 4 stars because up to the end of the film in the stomach creates a Sannung that you can not breastfeed even with repeated viewing.
