Films
Graham has been portrayed twice in movies; in Manhunter by William Petersen and again in Red Dragon by Edward Norton.
The 2002 film version of Red Dragon changes the nature of his connection to Lecter; while in the novel he met Lecter for the first time while questioning him about the death of a patient, in the film he and Lecter have apparently known each other for some time, with Graham often consulting Lecter on several of his cases until intuiting Lecter's true nature as a killer they have been 'collaborating' to track. The film also avoids Graham's facial disfigurement, the final scene depicting him as having survived Dolarhyde's attack relatively unharmed apart from some flesh wounds that heal with no visible ill effects.

Famous quotes containing the word films:
“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
“Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Does art reflect life? In movies, yes. Because more than any other art form, films have been a mirror held up to society’s porous face.”
—Marjorie Rosen (b. 1942)
