Fascinating Visual Compilation of The Same HANNIBAL Scene in Three Different Properties

Thomas Harris' notorious serial killer Hannibal Lecter and FBI profiler Will Graham have been immortalized on screen several times now, and editor Matthew Morettini has chosen one scene in particular that has been featured in three different properties: Manhunter, Red Dragon, and the recently-concluded Hannibal TV series. Morettini has cut together video that shows the similarities and differences between the scenes across those properties, progressing through the scene and cutting between them while the dialogue remains mostly the same. It's a fascinating look at the way directors choose to frame a scene, what they find important, where they choose close-ups versus wide shots, etc. Take a look below: 

"Recovering the Mindset" intercuts the three different interpretations of Thomas Harris' novel Red Dragon; Manhunter by Michael Mann, Red Dragon by Brett Ratner, and Hannibal by Bryan Fuller. I've focussed on the scene where FBI profiler Will Graham visits the cannibal psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter ostensibly to ask for advice on a serial murder case but really to "recover the mindset" of a killer so he can catch this new one. Most of the dialogue from the three adaptations come directly from the source novel so it was possible to seamlessly recreate the scene using the three productions. I think it is a very interesting way to compare and contrast the different methods used by the filmmakers. Also, other than filmed works of Shakespeare, I can't think of another pop culture creation that has been interpreted so faithfully three separate times.
