domandeirrisolte:“Everybody takes Miriam seriously as an eyewitness, and yet, as Will says, her mind doesn’t necessarily have the greatest memory of what happened to her. How did you research or play around with these ideas of post-traumatic stress disorder?”Bryan Fuller: “There’s so much going on with post-traumatic stress right now, and it has such wide effects on people in very different ways. They’re talking so much about soldiers who return from war and how varied the reactions are from being trained to be less human and then having to reintroduce yourself to society to become human again, and how there are so many steps on that path that are very easy to miss. We know that we had kind of a wide berth to do what we needed to do narratively, because post-traumatic stress disorder effects people in such different ways. It can obscure memories. It can reimagine events. Our brains are so tricky, because we perceive 30 percent of the world, and the other 70 percent, we just make connections to. In that 70 percent, there’s a huge possibility for fallacy.It was just putting in the process. If you were returned in some way and you have been living the last two years in and out of altered states of consciousness where you were probably very perpetually drugged with some kind of suppression chemical on your brain, everything that we needed for her to experience in terms of Stockholm syndrome, in terms of incomplete memories, in terms of filling in blanks, I think Miriam Lass genuinely believes that Frederick Chilton is the Chesapeake Ripper. She is not twirling her mustache and raising a glass of champagne to the success of their evil plan with Hannibal. She’s still very much a victim. She’s still very much that FBI agent. But he got inside her head, and it’s the example that Jack Crawford, when he says to Clarice in Silence Of The Lambs, “Don’t let him get inside your head”—in our view he was speaking of Miriam Lass, because he saw what Hannibal is capable of doing and how he completely reconfigured her reality to fit his agenda.” [Bryan Fuller interview for A.V.Club on Apr 12, 2014]Details of Hannibal -- source link
