Will Graham's glasses analysis
Вставка

- Our righteous, reckless... TWITCHY little man. Who is the "real" Will? Is he good or bad? Neither one nor the other: we shouldn't label him (he's both).
Think of Will's mind as an antivirus (an impenetrable fort), he wasn't going to just let some lame or random killer seep into his mind, was he?
I used to think it was all because of Hannibal (and yes, at first) but then it was Will's doing. He kind of saw an opportunity for that long-awaited change with Hannibal and took it. That's fucked up, I know. But now I get why Hannibal said: "I can feed the caterpillar and I can whisper through the chrysalis, but... what hatches, follows its own nature and is beyond me." Back then I believed Hannibal was being delusional, but ohhh- it made sense.
This was definitely made by hannibal.
What gave it away?
@@Cassvrntyou love him obsessively
I loved this straight off the bat. I think it’s a mixture of the lulling music + typography. Haven’t ever seen anyone used this style for an analysis before.
Hey, i'm happy to make a good impression! Thanks you for your comment. I'm particularly not a talker and it drains me to listen if the person talks all the time (nothing personal ofc) so this came out as a result lol ✨️
This is an impressive analysis. Just when you think you know everything about the characters and the show a new layer keeps appearing again and again. Thank you for your work!
The devil is in the detail. I love the fact that you can "notice" these things, even if it wasn't done on purpose or if its all made up... I completely believe it LOL. The theme about the series is about seeing. Being seen, etc. "What do you see?". Art can be interpreted in many ways. It's beautiful.
2:46 Will doesn't address his feelings directly. Disregarding himself since he never really mattered to anyone.
This is exactly what I've been looking for. I noticed whenever Will began experiencing lost time that he didn't make any realistic accommodations. He didn't start buying a cab or something to travel, or ask someone to pick him up or drop him off. He just continued to drive around as if it were perfectly safe, as if it isn't possible for something to happen to him or someone else as a result of his condition. That's passive suicidal ideation; he's actively allowing death to give him an out. I thought it was illogical writing because the show just doesn't seem to address his choice whatsoever, but I suppose it's just a character subtly descending into self-destruction.
Certainly. There are acts or decisions where we hurt ourselves, not considering or putting our safety and integrity first and foremost. Will doesn't self-harm physically, but emotionally. And this often goes unnoticed...
Adding his savior and martyr complex to the mix. I'm not surprised by the "end" of the third season. In fact, it's very fitting regardless. Like: naturally, I'll throw us off the cliff. We might not survive, but that's the thing. ☝🏻🤓
Interesting, interesting. My theory was that he wore them as a barrier to people potentially seeing his “psychopathic stare”, as he was concerned that he might be a psychopath and didn’t want to be seen that way by others. Except those that he chose to be vulnerable with and let them see him, psychopath or not. I don’t think he actually is a psychopath, I just think that he thinks he might be due to ‘absorbing’ so many psychopaths. Hanni forced Will to confront this fear when he set him up and he subsequently wore his barrier glasses a whole lot less after he leaned into people seeing him as a psychopath.
The music makes it so relaxing to watch and the analysis my god the analysis just showcases the complexity of Will's character. William derived from Germanic Wilhelm means "resolute protector" or soldier. Will putting on his glasses in an attempt to shield himself fits his character.
Ohh I didn't know that! It's very fitting. He's an incredibly strong and stubborn character. He had encephalitis and went through a lot but he fought back. His main focus -and major struggle- was protecting himself (and his loved ones too).
Thank u, glad u enjoyed it :D
Love it! So glad the fannibal community is still so active. Watched it back when it aired and have been enjoying getting back into it this past year!
Yes! I love that more people are watching this serie. The hype never dies. It is timeless. Many people are fans to this day. I joined the fandom about a year and a half ago. 😊❤
brb crying this was so well made with amazing points, oh will graham how beautiful of a character you are.
He is. I love him (I'm Hannibal Lecter)
I had a back and forth with someone on a discussion board about this. We settled on the glasses being part of Will's human suit. From the beginning.
You explained something about Will's character that I never knew that I knew! Awesome analysis, lovely formatting. I could watch another hour like this.
Thank you so much for this video. Personally lately I've been so fed up with the current level of content published in fandoms in general that doesn't go beyond memes/edits or such as. I really appreciated this analysis, it was so well done. I also liked how the video was edited, with the scenes being shown just with some text and music, it really highlighted what you were describing. (maybe sometimes it was a bit too fast, but some already addressed that)
Being reminded of such details in the show makes me remember how much effort and thoughtfullness everyone put into it.
I'm glad you enjoyed it ❤ I understand what you mean. I'm constantly analyzing almost every content I consume (series, movies, books). It's not just watching a story, you're appreciating the whole work
I really enjoy analyses like this. It almost feels like a conversation, comparing my ideas with yours. It can be difficult to find other people (in my geographic locale) who are in the market for these types of conversations, so thank you for sharing this.
I love characters that think they're a better version of themself (i.e smarter, more presentable, more fitting in) when they wear glasses or any other article of clothing as a coping and they feel they aren't that person when they take it off they arent even though that is a placebo. I myself wear glasses when I'm outside but when I'm comfortable mainly at home I don't, mainly cause my glasses only help me see far away things. I also struggle with eye contact and can't remember peoples eyes or their face properly
good choice of background music, analysis is on point. It's just WOW
He puts them on as a barrier, a mask, a shield between him and people he feels he needs defence against
I really liked this in-depth analysis. But i had difficulty keeping up with the reading, because the writing was a tad too fast-paced for me (despite being a rather fast reader). The pace of the clothing analysis worked better for me. I hope to see more hannibal content from you.
I love seeing analysis like this, it really just gives the show so much more meaning when fans debunk little hints in the show.
Such a well made video. Straight up perfection.
amazing! I didn’t think that I would find more interesting details again and again thanks to people like you. Thank you
These kind of comments are my soul's fuel 🥹 thank you
I’m an empath like Will and every time I used glasses (my vision is 10/10) it was with these precise psycho-social meaning and function, waw. Thanks for the analysis 😅✨
omggg I love this sm and I feel like you perfectly explained why and when will wears his glasses :))
Tysm for your feedback ❤ the most difficult thing (for me) was to organize the ideas
I need more content like this about on the entire surface of UA-cam! Subscribed!
Whoa, i have never seen someone catch on the little details so much, this is an amazing analysis.
This is beautiful.
I love the mix of seriousness and playfulness in this!!!! Great video 😊
(Also i like your dp 🖤🩶🤍💜
oh my god. i love this. i am literally crying. im slowly realizing that i am almost exactly like will graham 😭
I wish people made more of Hannibal analysis somewhat in this style. Maybe just mainly more of them. Even though of how much I luxuriate in fucking my brain out doing it myself, seeing someone look and care deeper for the show than just viewing it is the thing I'm looking for.
I wish it too! You may be missing noticing something important that someone else may make you see. On tiktok I have seen several accounts share their knowledge and open discussion about it. I personally love analyzing what I'm watching... the story being watched might be enjoyable but the experience is enhanced when the viewer can interpret and draw their own conclusions rather than having everything explicitly spelled out. It highlights the value of personal interpretation and real engagement with the narrative.
Love this style of video!
Yay! Thank you!
I’m loved this. Your analysis is perfect…❤
fantastic analysis!
No no nooo now you got me deep into his eyes. I was supposed to be over this man...
More, please more...Cass..I beg.
I love this! Amazing
"He can empathize and understand everyone. But who pays him the same courtesy?"
"He gets lost in his own mind instead."
"People wouldn't understand anyways, so why bother?"
ah so THIS is why i relate to Will so much 🤡
(great analysis
Beautiful analysis
Love your analysis! But I had a hard time reading it because it went too fast for me 😢
Editing tip I learned in college (not a film major, so take with a grain of salt): text should stay on screen as long as it takes for you to read it twice. Hope this helps!!!
Hey, thanks! I appreciate your editing tip :) I'll consider it next time. My bad ❤️🩹
thats amazing, i spent so much time just analyzing this show and yet you find something new everyday.
Thank you! I couldn't grasp my mind on this and it bothered me SO MUCH. It bothered me always when I rewatched Hannibal. It was a mystery to me, how? How he can see without glasses? Does he need them? And if not what is the reason? I finally understand, "see" >D It was perfect analysis!
I can relate. As a person who has to wear glasses permanently, I was invested 😅 For example, our vision gets even worse at night, etc! You could tell Will wasn't affected (wasn't his case). He needed the glasses at first as part of an "identity" (old and good Will) until he didn't (S3 Will). I read somewhere that Hugh intentionally wanted to portray an "innocent" Will (as the lamb) in the first season, who progressively broke out of his shell. Thanks u for watching!
@@Cassvrnt I feel you, I war glasses as well so it really bothered me. "Did they not thing it through?" but nope! They were just smarter and slicker with this than I could've ever been >D But it does make a lot of sense not only Hannibal wore the person suit.
I just talked my little sister into getting into this after watching it for the 3rd time, and she’s invested now 🤣
i love this, such a great perspective
Nice observation. I dig it
really great analysis ❤
u are a genius i love you 💚😭
i love this show
Will's constant taking off and putting back on the glasses immediately struck a nerve, and i was like "is he short sighted maybe??" But WOW this video does make an amazing insight into the real reason he wears them!! Acting as a physical and also mental barrier, and the fact that he takes them off for those who he cares for / those who understand him; the only ones he can actually "see" 🙌🏻🙌🏻
❤❤❤ love Hannibal content
well organized, im going to check all your other works now
Omg. I'm flattered! Thank you. The other videos aren't analysis tho. Sorry about that. It's like a shitposting account bc I'm obsessed. But I'll consider doing a few more :) ❤
damn will is just a baby
Cute Baby ❤
So good
Thank u!
good content thank you!
Beautiful! Great observations!
Ughh increíble……
i liked this👍
❤❤❤❤
Does anybody know where i can see it?
Will does not become Hannibal, he is just in love with him
Who said that? 🤔 I'm confused. Sorry
