The Kindergarten Teacher (2018)
It's supposed to be disturbing.
I've never reviewed a film on IMDb but this felt necessary, because a lot of you completely miss the point. There's a difference between an honest look at mental
Illness and validating the actions of a mentally ill person.
This movie in no way says that what the title character is doing okay. It just had you watch the behavior and judge it as you will.
This is a sad story. As an artist, poet and highly creative person, it made me think about how difficult it is when we only value one type of intelligence or life experience.
It does have psycho sexual themes but there's a difference between elevating /romanticizing a child, lack of boundaries, and being a pedophile.
It's uncomfortable, yeah. But obsession is. And obsession dissnr have to equate to sexual desire. The little boy in this story is not sexualized.
Hannibal Rising (2007)
this movie has a lot of problems, but would have been good on its own.
my main issue with it is that it doesn't match up to the character of Hannibal lecter that we know from silence of the lambs. this is the story of an angry revenge killer, and does not explain the sociopath that the later lecter is. it would be a completely different forensic profile. the kills in this movie are emotional. Hannibal's motives are emotional here, twisted, but coming from a place of love and loyalty.
Yes, the actor sounds cold and mechanic perhaps to mimic an idea of the Hannibal we're already familiar with, but it really doesn't add it up in my opinion. He doesn't have the curiosity mainly.
the other actors are much stronger and more interesting to watch, and the plot is alright. ALL in all. not a total waste of time but disappointing to me.
