Well, to clarify, I'm not saying it's immoral necessarily to put certain content in films.
As far as horror films go, I think there is a fine line between scenes that are effective in creating a sense of fear and suspense, and those that serve only to deliver shock value.
Good horror films try to creep you out. Bad horror films try to make you throw up.
Of course you're free to entertain yourself any way you want -

A kid eating something nasty in a film will never be "Went too far" compared to any type of murder in a film. So in your opinion it is more acceptable to see a series of brutal murder and extreme gore than to see a kid eating something nasty?

I thought you were referring to the Liotta scene, to which I would say yes, it did. The one with the child on the airplane, well, where the heck were his parents? How were they not able to feed him? If you don't get fed from them, at that age, you go in search of something, to which he found something to be fed by. But what child would have trouble eating airplane food, which is actually pretty good?

It doesn't go too far because the characters do not make you believe that what is happening is real. It's such a bad movie that I didn't care for any of them.
The fact that Lecter makes a child eat a piece of brain looks more like a bad joke than something scary to me. -

So what if a child has eaten human brain? Is eating abimal brain any different?
Of couse I'm against killing people, but I also opose killing animals.
And eating the ones you had nothing to do when they died, I see no difference. -

The final scene made the impact, I believe, the director wanted to make. Hannibal gave the child an opportunity to try something different. The child was all in leaving the audience feeling squeamish about the child eating the cooked brains of a human. Yuck!

So, earlier this week, I finally got to watch this movies from beginning to end. Somehow, I have only caught beginning and middle of it over last 15 years.
The scene you refer is pretty disgusting. The scene I cannot un-see is the one with RLiotta character w/top of skull removed. I have had nightmares on three of four night after watching it on Monday. It actually made me throw up.
If I even picture the scene, still get physically ill. Wish I had never seen it.
