Randy "Buck" Bradley & Canine Benson from The Passenger (2023)
“Hitchcock’s blocking of this scene is extraordinarily suggestive. Framed in the doorway, these two male doubles occupy a shockingly small amount of screen space that forces them into physical intimacy. Or, perhaps, it is Sam that does the forcing. Preventing Norman from leaving the office and catching Lila as she darts away, Sam places his body directly against Norman’s. Indeed, Norman looks down, crotchward, in surprise.”

This movie made me realize I'm more into owner/pet dynamics than I thought I was.
This happened to @sleahlicious and I, oh my god.

Neither is it stated in our agreement that you get the first serving, but rather, it is first come first serve. Funny that you mention the start of your process, as if I didn't start it the moment I replied. I have already eaten the whole of your brain by now. You are too late.
There’s something wrong with your head and it’s very alluring. I need to dissect you like that one scene in hannibal… plea….se……
Hello, ravenous thing.
It would please you to know that I am currently waiting, laid out on the dining room table, head on plate.
It should also please you to know that there is a spot right beside me for you to lay, and I am getting the first cut of dissection.
...this is a mutual act.
A part of our agreement.
You have no choice.

If you think about "hunting styles" when it comes to Will and Hannibal, there are some notable differences. Hannibal hunts like a predator. Sits in the tall grass, observes for a long while and one day he decides to attack.
Will on the other hand, hunts the same way he fishes. He never attacks. He always lures people right into his arms. He lured Hannibal. He lured Freddie into his shed to make her part of the plan. He lured Chilton into getting himself fried. He lured Chiyoh into killing the prisoner.
This is definitely something to explore in the post twotl fics. Hannibal and Will learning about their differences when it comes to killing.
Who is going to allow me to daily feel a stab of hunger for them, and find nourishment at the very sight of them?
Who is going to ache for me?

Hunger is obviously a major theme in Hannibal—it’s literally the cannibal show—but the difference in how that’s portrayed with Hannigram is intriguing.
Hannibal was starving for connection before he had Will, and then everything changed for him. As Bedelia tells Will, “Did he daily feel a stab of hunger, and find nourishment at the very sight of you? Yes.” Hannibal’s hunger is sated by so much as the sight of Will. A mere look at him is enough to satisfy him.
But Will is different. Rather than being sated by his connection with Hannibal, it is the very thing that makes him hungry. There’s a frame in the Italy chapter that makes it look like he’s trapped in a starvation cage. In the script for his sailing scene, he’s literally described to look hungry:
Both Hannibal and Will have a possessive, obsessive, all-consuming love for one another, but it affects them quite differently. Hannibal is nourished by the very sight of Will, but for Will, no amount of the profound attention he experiences from Hannibal can fully sate his hunger—it’s a high he can’t help but chase. It fuels his pathological need to return to Hannibal again and again, no matter how self-destructive it is. I think this is why Will is more outwardly possessive of Hannibal than Hannibal is of Will. Hannibal wants Will to be his; Will wants Hannibal to be no one else’s. Both forms of possession, but Will’s is more jealous because of the way he experiences Hannibal’s attention. It’s a high, it’s a hunger—it’s a need, not a want.
