Hannibal movie book differences

Starling's first communication from Lecter is the package with his note and a drawing of a naked couple, most likely referring to the Il Monstro killings. Poetry letter and the skin cream: In the book these are sent in the same package. Hannibal writes the poetry (as opposed to Verger's forgery) and includes a picture to go along with it. When Hannibal is in the scent shop he picks up an array of scents which remind him of something…then he flashes back to Clarice's one moment of human contact from Silence. Yes, the infamous rubbing of finger while retrieving the FBI file. Reminded now of Clarice, Hannibal goes on a shopping spree at the shop and mails all of them to her. The Italian Scent

. . .
It was winter and the food was limited, so the soldiers were not shy on cannibalism. He tells her to use a cattle prod to obtain the 'specimens' and that she could always say that he killed him

This is the biggest dialog missing from the movie.

Is the movie perhaps more comprehensible (regarding the relationship) than book?

Well the ending of the book contained the rather morbid lines of

Clarice: "Hannibal Lecter did you ever feel you had to surrender your mother's breast to Mischa?"

Hannibal: "If I did, I did so gladly. "

Plane Scene

This scene at the end replaces the plane scene when Hannibal is coming to America. She won't give them to him so he grabs the meat cleaver and comes at her in that "I am going kill you" way. His childhood sexual abuse of her turned her away from men and converted her into a lesbian.

Krendler becomes the only one to eat his brain (at the moment) and Starling definitely is not thrilled to witness this. Unlike the book, he is not a rude boy nor is his mother onboard (or she is not seen) to stop the sampling. The alteration in the Verger Mytharc changes the story of his demise. Jack Crawford knew she was the one who had it, so once again it looked bad for the FBI. The donor desired is, of course her brother.

She makes up her mind to resist the drug and picks up the base of the candlestick. He didn't call the ambulance because he wanted to be reunited with his wife

Mason Verger also had a sister, Margot. "

Piano - "If Love Now Reigned"

Hannibal is looking at pictures of Clarice while he is playing or composing a song in the movie.

Visiting Clarice

In the movie Hannibal's visit to Clarice while she sleeps is later used as testing her FBI skills (changing the phone battery) as he had done before in Silence.
