Hannibal: Book Vs. Movie

The beginning of the film starts different then the book. The film starts off with Barney selling the Hannibal's mask to Mason Verger. You realize right away that Mason Verger and Lector have something in common, in the book it does show you this connection this early on. Right after that sequence the film picks up exactly as the book stars out. A minor difference is that in the novel Starling has a roommate named Mapp and she helps emphasize how sad Starling really is about the shooting earlier on. By having the roommate she has a shoulder to cry on. The movie leaves the audience thinking that she is okay with what happe

. . .
Lector took Starling to his house that he had bought in the book and not to Paul's summer house like in the movie. In the film he gives her a dress and shoes that she would wear latter on in the film. In the film nothing like this even close happens.

Mason Verger had a sister in the novel, Margot that was sexual abused as a child by him.

In the novel Lector and Starling end up together and they both result to cannibalism. Lector digs up Starlings fathers bones in the grave yard and puts them on them on her bed to see. In the film she is also able to call for back up even know she is a little shaken up. This is for her 33rd birthday, this is same age that Christ was when he died. There maybe some little hints that he is in love with her but she shows no intrust in Lector. Lector does this so she will part with her father. She wants to have a child with her lesbian lover way of artificial insemination and the donator would be her brother. This also shows how close they are together.

In the film Starling is just chasing Lector and he is in love with her.
