Before The Silence and Red Dragon there was ... Media Dragon ...

To understand the origin on evil, you must go back to the beginning.

‘Red Dragon’ is a new movie based on the original 1981 novel of the same name written by Thomas Harris. However, ‘Red Dragon’ is not the first movie to be based on the novel. That honor goes to 1986's 'Manhunter.

What is Red Dragon? An emotion, a terrible moment condemned to repeat itself over and over again. Something frightening which appears at times supernatural. Still why do people swarm around Sir Anthony Hopkins, trying to touch him and get autographs? This guy is a cannibalistic serial killer ...

We admire him in a secret, perverse way. He represents the unspeakable part of ourselves, the fantasy, desires and dark areas of our lives that are slightly unacceptable to us, but actually healthy, if we only acknowledge them. Perhaps, we'd like to be as certain of things and as dare-devil as him.
