For me it comes down to Silence’s Clarice vs Manhunter’s Will and Clarice’s journey (in the film), stepping out of the shadows of those who would use her, is the one I find much more engaging.
I’ll give Manhunter (and, by extent, Hannibal) this: Will Graham is kind of tricky to endear to an audience. It think it’d be easy to cross the line into silliness with him and Mann and Petersen do very good balancing job.
I still giggle at the “you sonnofab****” line.
