NBC Hannibal's Cinematography is Beautiful
The murders and the locations have all been talked about, though, so I feel like we need to talk about the gaze.
Do you know what the cinematographers of NBC’s Hannibal have done? They have reversed the Male Gaze. Now, that does not mean that they use the Female Gaze. Far from it, actually.
So let’s talk about it.
I have not made any of these gifs. OPs are linked underneath each one.
WHAT IS THE MALE GAZE?
(x)
The Male Gaze became most prominent when photography became popular. It is the way of portraying women so that it is pleasurable to men, and that is usually in a sexual way. This is why in many movies and shows, you will see slow pans across a woman’s body, even if she is fully clothed, but the men are introduced with either their entire body or with their faces in moving shots. This woman will usually be the lead actor’s love interest. Now these movies and shows are actually seen by women, so they have to include the Female Gaze as well.
(x)
SO THEN WHAT IS THE FEMALE GAZE?
The Female Gaze is drastically different than the Male Gaze. It is more like throwing women (and gay men!) a bone, the way it’s done. It is achieved through moving, full bodied shots of topless men. That is basically it.
(x)
This way, men are not forced to look at something sexualized of other men, but women can look at it in that way if they so wish.
I won’t talk about sex scenes, though, because that is just a whole other discussion.
NOW HOW DOES NBC’S HANNIBAL REVERSE THIS?
Simple. The cinematography shows slow pans and zooms on parts of the male actors’ bodies. Some scenes are shot in a way that it seems sexualized, even when the action the character is doing is not erotic at all. From Hannibal cooking in his kitchen
(x)
to Matt Brown’s appearance at the pool
(x)
to Will and Hannibal eating the flaming birds
(x)
I mean, even when Hannibal is bleeding to death, we see a slow pan up from his feet.
(x)
And this is something that we are definitely not used to.
BUT HEY, WHAT ABOUT THE MEN WATCHING?
You’re right. Let’s throw them a bone.
(x)
IN CONCLUSION I really don’t think you guys understand how significant this change in cinematography is. We wonder why there are scenes that seem sexual when they shouldn’t be, but that’s all there on purpose. If the cinematography had been conventional, then a dimension of this show would be lost, especially in the relationship between Will and Hannibal. We are able to get hints of their love for another without the need of other characters mistaking them for a couple or for there to be awkward moments between them. So much is in simply the way everything is shown.
And it is not just significant in the context of the show itself. This changes the way men and women watch the show. Men are not able to objectify women in the way they could in most other shows, and women in contrast are viewing men sexually without sexual references, and so the roles have been reversed. I read somewhere that they had to put sex scenes in the second season so that the show would attract more male viewers. I mean, that was really the only way they could do it, really. Men wouldn’t be able to sexualize women on this show unless the women are actually having sex. The cinematography doesn’t allow it.

I always headcanon Sansaery with a Black Sansa and an Indian Margaery. 😅 I would pay good money to see fanart like that.

Learning that this:
is like a serious hug to elves
just made this:
a whole lot funnier
cause Aragorn, raised by elves, knows how to elf hug, and he’s just like, “nope, doesn’t convey my gratitude enough, human hug time, must touch."
And Haldir is just *shock* "uh, o…okay then, yeah, I guess this is okay, silly human *pat pat*”

Hannibal AU: Vampire!Margot, who belongs to the ancient, wealthy bloodline of Vergers, gets veritably glamoured by a dying woman called Alana Bloom. On a spur of the moment Margot decides to give Alana a gift which will change everything - an outré kiss of death.

Hi! I'm truly keen on sansaery and I'd love to draw something.. but Idk what. Do you have any ideas? Maybe AU? :)
I’m sorry this is so late, I’ve been so busy
Sansa and Margaery in their apartment/house around Christmastime just sitting around their Charlie Brown tree, decorated until it looked like it could possibly fall over by just breathing in its direction. Lady’s snuggling up to Sansa as she sits in quite possibly the ugliest Christmas sweater Margaery has ever seen, who herself is wearing something which would never be described as such. Anywhoo’s, they’re play-fighting over the last the ornament they can decorate the tree with; of course no one wins and they both just end up cuddling on the couch, with the ornament completely forgotten.
I found a message in a plasticbottle! Could someone translate this into English / tai vaik iha suomeks? :)
Goodbye. You just hand /umm maybe ‘you’ve just got’/ bottle-mail /i really don’t know what it mean/ from Finland we wrote text from dictionary, so I hope you will get it clear /or 'obviously’, but there is nothing obliviously in this text oh/. You have a charming way of greeting: Elina /it’s woman’s name/, bed /aa whaat??/ and umm I can’t understand this word, so i don’t know what is this.
I translated this text literally and the person who wrote this is bad in russian and I think i’m bad in english. sorry x.x
So a girl named Elina wrote this by using a dictionary. Thanks, this makes a bit more sense now :D
