This movie's ending differs drastically from the novel. In the book, when Dr. Hannibal Lecter cooks Krendler's brain, it is him and Clarice who eat it, consuming most of it. After that, she and Lecter have sex and both run off. The novel ends three years later, when Barney (the orderly) finds Lecter and Clarice living together in Buenos Aires, Argentina under false identities and quickly escaping. Such a drastic change might be explained by the fact writer Thomas Harris was quite reluctant to write another Hannibal book, and was heavily pressured by producer Dino De Laurentiis to do so.
