Manhunter analysis - part 78: Francis Dollarhyde also represents a marionette

CATEGORY: MOVIES     [Hidden plot related]













One thing we notice about the 'shootout' scene at Francis Dollarhyde's house near the end of the movie, is that each time Will Graham fires a bullet at Dollarhyde, there is an unusual 'jerk' or 'jump' in Dollarhyde's bodily movement (as suggested by Dollarhyde's body position in the image at left) - not something which is due to the impact of the bullets hitting him alone.


Dollarhyde's motions, as described above, are like those of a marionette, i.e., of a puppet operated from above by strings. This is a metaphor for the idea that some force is manipulating and controlling him. What this implies within the context of Dollaryhde representing the Freemasons, is that the Freemasons are themselves being manipulated and controlled by a Satanic force.

In the below left-hand screencap, note the long horizontal 'beam' of violet light above Dollarhyde. This is further evidence for the existence of the marionette metaphor in Manhunter. Since the beam is violet, it represents the 'presence' of Lecktor - recall the violet coloring in the sink in Lecktor's cell (below right-hand screencap). The beam thus represents, in part, the manipulation of Dollarhyde from above, by the Satanic force that Lecktor represents.










Since the beam in Dollarhyde's work area is a lighter shade of violet than the violet in Lecktor's sink, and is instead more similar in color to the violet in Jimmy Price's laser machine (shown at left), its color also indicates that, as stated in part 74, Dollarhyde is working with Jimmy Price.
