Red Dragon

Red Dragon (2005) Directed by Brett Ratnert

The movie starts with a scene in the opera house with a orchestra playing. This shows to the audience as to what type of person Hannibal Lector is. A typical opera listener is usually higher class and very intelligent

The music in the background begins to get intense as they show the reaction on Hannibal Lector's face. When Agent Graham goes to visit Hannibal Lector's house we see that he is quite wealthy and it has traditional classic and antique furniture throughout the house.

Throughout the title sequence the titles are appearing up in dark red which usually symbolises hatred, blood and evilness. We could also see books which the camera zooms in to which again shows Hannibal Lector is a intelligent man. We see several different expressions of Hannibal Lectors face throughout the title sequence which shows Dr Lector from joyful to miserable. The title sequence of Red Dragon is similar to the title sequence of the movie Se7en which gives us a hint that director Brett Ratnert was inspired by the movie Se7en.
