Movement 4: Adagietto (Sehr langsam) of Mahler’s Symphony 5 performed by  Berliner Philharmoniker, Herbert von Karajan, conductor  

“Gustav Mahler was in love with Alma Schindler, the woman who would have become his wife (“The most beautiful girl in Vienna”). He keeps from declaring his love, so, one day, he composes this music and sends her the score, without even adding a word. She sits at the piano, plays the music, and answers: "Now you should come here." I think it can be considered the most beautiful love declaration of all time.” via  Gerardo Coluccini, YT replies

After Will brings “long pig” (pretending it’s Miss Lounds, but it’s actually not) to Hannibal, and they dine together, specific music plays as they consume it. I’m not sure if it’s background music for us or if it’s music that Hannibal chose in particular to play during their meal. I suppose it says the same thing, either way.

It sounded so romantic and beautiful so I researched it. And of course, found this...

And this.

And this.

Let’s go over the scene.

Look at the LOVE on his face.

Hannibal looks quite displeased. 

BA DUM TSS! Will knows Hannibal loves word-play... Will has the mind for it, as well.

I remember the conversation they had in season 1, before Will knew Hannibal was a murderer...

HANNIBAL: Words are living things. They have personality, point of view, agenda.

WILL: They're pack hunters. 

Look at Will, now. Using them to do exactly that -- though, he does specify a few times that he’s not HUNTING, he’s FISHING. 

Hannibal thinks he finally helped Will to become the God he was meant to be. The God that, together, they would be. Two halves of the same whole. He is thrilled - this is what he’s wanted since EPISODE ONE. 

At this point, Will hesitates. He swallows. He SIGHS. And then he lies. Look at his face. He’s not happy about it. He just thinks it’s the right thing to do, the thing he’s supposed to do. But he’s going against what they promised one another at the start of the resuming of the therapy - that they wouldn’t lie to one another. Hannibal has held true to his word, but this is when Will has not. And he actually exhibits REGRET when doing it. 

I LOVE this part, because, if you watch. Will picks up the glass. He pretends he’s about to take a sip. But he doesn’t... and he says how he can’t be reduced to a set of influences. JUST as Hannibal takes a sip of the wine. 

Will picked up the wine - Hannibal picked up the wine. Will influenced Hannibal into taking a sip, yet he did not sip it himself - this shows us that Hannibal is the one being influenced by Will, that they are not equals at this moment. And Will is aware of it. He lifted the glass to test Hannibal; “will you mirror me?” 

“An unconscious sign of attraction is mirroring, or matching another person's movements. When people are interested in one another, researchers have found that they tend to mimic each other's movements and gestures.”

This also mirrors, and accentuates, what Bedelia said about Hannibal in Season 1; that Hannibal is a “social antisocial,” meaning that he is virtually incapable of being influenced by others - until having met Will Graham. 

And this leads into the finale’s, “Did you think you could change me? The way I changed you?” “I already did.” 

(He’s allowed to sip now because he’s made his point.) 

Behavior is not good or bad – it just is, and it occurs in accordance with certain fairly well understood principles.

(He actually said “meal” - the subtitles were incorrect.)

Half of Hannibal’s face is in dark. Half of Will’s face is in dark. Both of the dark halves of their faces are filled, illuminated, with the lighter half of the other’s. This is visual poetry. 

The have finally merged and become God.
