Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of the few actors who could make you forget that it was just him portraying a character. The range of emotions, personalities and eccentricities he could flawlessly incorporate into his work were frankly astonishing.
This movie was a remake of the movie Manhunter from the 80s. Check out Stephen Lang's portrayal of Lounds in this exact same scene. Just an opinion, but I think it is even better than Hoffman's.
ferox965 Interesting you should mention that. When he was dressed up in his SS uniform, he approached the real Mila Pfefferberg, she began to have a panic attack because he so convincing.
Goeth wasn't such a bad fella. He enjoyed good food and drink. Great at parties, had Liam Neeson as a bbf, secured a full time job which he dedicated himself to with consummate skill. Lived in a manor with many servents. Made buckloads of cash and he was a German 😊 he was good with a rifle too I think....
This movie is a fine example of what happens when you have the right writing, the right actors, the right score and all of that but with a lackluster director. This scene is great but if it had better cinemaphotography and a better director, it could've been a brilliant soul crushing scene.
It was just a very straightforward scene you would see in the TV series. When I watched The Red Dragon, I liked it, but I could not shake this TV show's feeling of the scenes.
Phillip Seymour Hoffmann is trying to survive and so his character is acting as if he is a friend and highly respects the killer. Almost flirting bc he is trying to do anything to survive. It’s incredible acting choices
The guy who plays the journalist is a fantastic actor. He's doing a brilliant job of playing someone who's trying to act and failing miserably. I'm being completely serious. The victim here feels like he's just barley managing to hold it together so he can try to talk his way out of this. Every line is very wooden and stilted, like a first year drama student, because he's desperately trying to just figure out what this guy wants to hear to let him go.
That's Phillip Seymour Hoffman, one of the greatest and most veratile actors of his generation, who sadly passed away in 2014. Every movie he's in is worth watching
In the book, Dolarhyde is very heavily muscled, working out with tremendous weights. The tattoo of the dragon is described as a living thing on his back, his muscles giving the tattoo a visual life of its own. I was a bit disappointed in this version of Dolarhyde because he is depicted as being very physically imposing in the book.
@octoberfire13 I have mixed feelings about that character's portrayal, as it is not exactly like the book, but it is a pretty darn good variation. Much like how Mads' Hannibal is very different from Hopkins. Overall I like it, perhaps because my expectations were changed by Fiennes' Dolarhyde.
Yeah, it’s makes him a much bigger threat. You fear the dragon because whatever it tells him to do, he could actually do. And it makes sense for his character since he wants to transform, obviously he’d take steps to transform into the powerful dragon
perhaps but, and maybe it's just me, but I always saw him as 'dirty'. not as a pervert or anything but maybe it was his skin complexion and the light blonde way and scruff of a beard. something about him always makes me want to tell him to take a bath. rude, i know, but I guess because of that i never cared to see him on screen.
He wasn't underrated mate. Many regarded him the finest actor in Hollywood. Daniel Day Lewis and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Definitely the top 2 at that time.
He shoulda stalled on the slide show part like we did in college with the professors that liked to talk. “Can you go back to that first slide and explain it again?”
15 years ago I was flipping through the channels and I came across this film. I’ve only seen red dragon that one time but the scene never left me. Phil Seymour Hoffman is a generational actor

You know, the saddest thing is, Will Graham, Jack Crawford, and the rest of the FBI were hoping that the story that Lounds ran would draw out Dolarhyde to go after Graham. The FBI never expected that Dolarhyde would go after Lounds instead. Hmm sad. 🤔 😔
Meanwhile in Lounds's mind "I'm dead, I'm so dead, I'm dead, dead, dead, oh boy I'm deader than dead, I hope I don't poo myself! oops I did! now I'm dead and stinky!" *mental sobbing intensifies*
Voldemort: Lily Potter alive. Do you see? Harry: Yes, I see. Voldemort: Lily Potter dead. Do you see? Harry: Oh, god! Voldemort: My soul inside your head. Do you see? Harry: AGH! Voldemort: I am the most powerful wizard of all time, and you call me insane. You are privy to a great becoming.
I am very convinced that if Harry Porter is more gritty and adult it can actually be very bone chilling as Voldemort has been described to be merciless and cold blooded possibly experimenting different spells to make muggles squeal
Hannibal Lecter Because he wanted to become them. Buffalo Bill was greatly inspired by the notorious graverobber Ed Gein who (after his beloved mother died) wore his mothers skin like a gimp suit and would often prance around in the forest surrounding his secluded cabin. He also confessed to howling at the moon, which they added in this scene of his movie > ua-cam.com/video/_SVlezvh3zk/v-deo.html
Whenever my dad and I do some kind of carpentry work or something around our houses we always quote this when showing each other. "Do you see?!" More from the South Park parody because here it's terrifying.
A movie with his horrid childhood and grandmother would suffice the curiosity of eager movie goers of the criminally insane and how they came to be. That grandmother is a whole character within herself. Talk about scary, AWE, indeed.
Yes, yes wouldn't it be lovely if all those naysayers and creature's of fake and false news face a new becoming. A new reconstruction, a new assembling, a new becoming. It will begin. The new year will bring worth a new creature of truth. It is now. Something wonderful is going too happen.

I would be a pathetic coward in that situation too - but not funny.
@@jameswalker6864 Probably because it gave the author an excuse not to include any creative or interesting antagonists in the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert. Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to. >a-at least the books were good though "No!" The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs." I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

RIP big guy
The book described the tattoo as being animated by his muscles. He was supposed to be much larger and much more muscular.
That explances a lot. As someone who did not read the book I found the back reveal a bit confusing.
So, Dwayne Johnson could play Dolarhyde?
They'd have to cast Arnold to play that back then or something
If it's a choice between Arnold Shwarznegger and Ralph Fiennes, I'd pick Fiennes every time.
