“It’s sort of wonderfully twisted that the series ends with Hannibal getting everything he has ever wanted, up to and including Will in his arms, and in that moment I think he was perfectly content to die. Will is the one who pushes them off the cliff, but Hannibal allows himself to be backed up onto the ledge, and he’s far too sharp and aware of his environment to do that unknowingly. My feeling, watching the episode purely as its own self-contained story, is that Will gave in to his true desires right before killing himself and his monster, and that Hannibal let it happen.”
— Emma Dibdin; “Hannibal series finale recap: ‘The Wrath of the Lamb’ is a perfect romantic ending;” Digital Spy (x)
Don’t give me one-sided unrequited love, give me two-sided unwanted love. Both sides are deeply in love with the other and both sides are like ‘fuck, really?? them??? really?’
say what you will about les mis but the moment when “to love another person is to see the face of god” fades out and the ensemble coming in really softly with “do you hear the people sing” is one of the most beautiful moments in theater
