From the very beginning, Hannibal told Clarice he was going to help her career. He made certain Jack Crawford would go to the wrong address so Clarice could go to the right one and get Buffalo Bill. Hannibal also arranged to give himself an opportunity to escape. These agents are all smart, but Hannibal Lecter is a genius.
The whole line "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti". All three of these food/drink that'll render any kind of antipsychotics useless. He's telling her he's off his meds don't f#ck with me.
So A few weeks after this was released, Anthony Hopkins decided to see what the audience reaction in a normal screening (as opposed to a Hollywood premiere) was, so he went to one, and sat quietly in the back. At the end, just before the lights came up, he turned to the woman next to him, put on his Hannibal Lecter voice, and said "did you enjoy the movie?" then watched her jump out of her skin...
I watched this at River Oaks Movie Theater... in Calumet City Illinois. When that location came up on the screen before they FBI raided the wrong house people went absolutely nuts. People were screaming. I'm pretty sure a few left the theater.
@Miles Doyle Jesus would completely HATE you christians. He literally says that all non-jew lives are worth less than a dog´s live, in the original version of the Bible (before king James re-wrote the entire thing in the middle ages). You talk a lot, but it seems to me you don´t even know BASIC history...
I love the entire closing sequence, and the crane shot at the end is so smooth--first tracking Lecter at ground level and then rising to bird's eye view as he disappears into to crowd following Chilton.
Anthony Hopkins said that, a few months after the film came out, as he would take leisurely walks through downtown Malibu, California, strangers who saw him coming would deliberately cross the street to avoid him. That's when he realized just what kind of impact his performance had on the public. There's a good reason the amount of screen time for Hopkins's performance is by far the fewest for any winner of the Best Actor Academy Award.
Ted Levine deserves a large amount of credit for his twisted performance as Buffalo Bill. To this day people still ask "oh wait, was she a great big fat person?"
He played such a different profile of a serial killer than Hannibal so incredibly well. Buffalo Bill wasn't a true psychopath, in that he hated himself, showed moments of compassion that he forced himself not to feel, was not very intelligent or careful, especially in how he disposed of the bodies over time. By the way, I can't BELIEVE they cut out: "It rubs the lotion on it's skin, or else it gets the hose again".
I like the ending shot because it pans out to show Hannibal moving into the crowd and blending in seamlessly, hinting that anyone around you could be deranged like Hannibal.
I really like the ending of the "Silence of the lambs". Every time I get goosebumps when Hannibal Lecter walks slowly down the street and disappears into the crowd. This once again reminds us that evil is immortal, it is always there and can take on the most harmless and innocent form.
I'm not entirely sure it even makes sense to say that Hannibal Lecter is evil. He is extremely dangerous, just like a tiger is dangerous, and we do best to keep both Lecter and the tiger in a cage. But Lecter is in a way barely human; intellectually he is easily super-human. He transcends our ideas of good and evil. If someone approaches him with respect, like Clarice did, he may actually be willing to help. It is clearly implied that the sleeze-bag director of the facility where Lecter was kept was less lucky in the end; he plainly became Lecter's dinner. We do not exactly grieve for him. In a way he had it coming.
I saw this movie at a sleepover when I was 14. I had no idea he escaped. I think the overall horror of the film made me miss out on a lot of details. That and having the attention son of a fourteen year old. I guess this deserves another watch!
"A Modest Proposal" by Johnathan Swift. That is probably where the ifea for selling children to restaurants came from. "Proposal" was a satire piece regarding the population issues in Ireland and was written around 1729. As satire, it was not intended to be taken seriously, but the work was meant to draw attention to economic, population, and other problems in Ireland at the time. We read a bit of this in middle school in the 1980s as an example of satire.
I feel sad cause it lost all its excitement for me cause I saw the dying “officer” and instantly went “that’s obviously Lector… how are they not seeing that” so I was just frustrated the whole time.
Michelle’s comments are funny. Intimidating scene where we first meet Hannibal: I love his eyes.

34:42 it is understood from this sequence that Buffalo Bill has a single action revolver so he is required to cock the noisy hammer first in order to fire his gun. Jodie Foster only needed to react to the sound of Buffalo Bill cocking his gun, fire on his direction, and drop him fast. If Buffalo Bill were to have a double action revolver then the movie would have ended differently 🤣.
10:16 this incident was based off of what Ted Bundy did, who is one of the more Famous serial killers in the United States. The thing is it was a different time back then, he did this back in 1978 to 1981 I believe… but the good thing is is that people have learned from it and they have grown to recognize the danger of such incidents. I would like to believe that even though it’s a very difficult lesson it will help save lives in the future.
@@jasontaverner391 its not about weather they got better or not, in my opinion i like hannibal better than SotL but its just no one is ever happy how SotL ends not knowing what happened to Lectar lol and in order to find out u need to see the sequel
Red Dragon (the movie) is forgettable. Manhunter adapts Harris' book Red Dragon better, despite the actor who plays Lector not being quite Hopkins' caliber. Red Dragon leans on Hopkins too much, while Manhunter focuses on the overall story and all of the characters not just Lector.
The precursor movie, “Manhunter”, I think is a good one to review. Set the stage for this one. They aren’t related though, different actors for the main characters.
I’m of the opinion that Manhunter was a better film and also Brian Cox was a better Hannibal because he seemed more real and not an over the top villain!!
I read *Manhunter* way back when and Michael Mann did the movie pretty true to form and the *Red Dragon* is kind of a re-creation of some of those events. *The Red Dragon and the Lady Clothed with the Sun.*
I liked Manhunter until the end. *spoiler alert* I mean, seriously, you have a gun and you decide to TACKLE the guy who’s a foot taller than you and can toss you around like a rag doll? Bunch of epicness culminating in a moment so stupid I can never watch it again, though my friend and I did laugh out loud for like two minutes, so I guess it entertained in a way. I like Brian Cox, but yes he seemed so not over the top that he was pretty much forgettable, basically run of the mill.
"Do you spook easily, Starling?" One of cinema history's most leading questions. This was a nice surprise - two of my favorite reactors watching one of my favorite movies. Can't wait to see what you'll do next !
These two don't seem to be obsessed with being right about everything and then arguing about it through the entire reaction, so they get along and it's fun to watch.
Getting into the back of a van is a bad idea in the US too, not just in Bulgaria. I like when the 2 of you do a reaction together. Hello from Colorado, USA.
At the risk of sounding mean, my guess is that large and unattractive girls are probably a little less wary about helping strange men than women who look like Ellie and Michelle.
That moment when Starling says, “No. No you ate yours” is the exact moment Lecter thinks, “Oh! You’re not afraid to go /there/ within the first five minutes. Oh, I like you.” Their relationship starts there and develops through the rest of the movie and deepens in the book series.
Michelle really enjoys the darkness of this film. I approve. Also, Anthony Hopkins moved back to Wales a couple of years ago. When he did, he toured around a bit, getting reacquainted with the country, including spending the day in my hometown. Sadly I was working and didn't get the chance to see him. Plenty of selfies on FB though. Top bloke.
"What?!? He's in a cage in the middle of a big room." Yes. It's like a castle. The castle has walls (the cage), but then the space outside the walls is completely cleared so there's no place for anyone to hide. Anyone who tries to cross it will be exposed to the defender's ranged weapons (like arrows or guns). It's inside out here, with the guards on the outside, but the idea is the same: if the prisoner somehow escapes the cage, he still has no protection or hiding places when trying to leave.
36:29 I love how when they say horror it sounds like whore. "I'm not okay with the whore who jumps out of mirror or under bedroom and touch your leg." Me either, sister.
Hanibal touching Clarice finger is metaphoric. It is a reference to "The Creation of Adam" wich is a fresco painting by Michelangelo on the Sistine Chapel's ceiling. Not sure what it means for this movie. Maybe with Hannibal forcing Clarice to talk about her nightmare and force her to face off her inner fears, Hannibal (God) did change her life, it is like he created a new Clarice (Adam).
I remember this movie! Very good one, especially Anthony Hopkins performance. There is 2 other movies with the same actor but the next (Hannibal) Jodie Foster is replaced by Julianne Moore. And the third movie (Red Dragon) is a prequel with another detective. Anyway, those will definitely require Michelle's arm to hold on to. So be prepared ^^
Great call on Hannibal's escape, definitely caught me by surprise the first time I saw it. I like to think about Hannibal laying there with a man's face on his face, stifling a chuckle as this junior cop talks reassuring nonsense into his ear.
1. This film took all 5 of the top Oscars. You can see why. 2. The lisping noise Hopkins makes after, "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." was ad lib to get Foster's reaction. It was their first dialog. 3. Ted Levine/Buffalo Bill got death threats after the release of this film. 4. There are a ton of men hitting on her. IRL it wouldn't fly. Foster doesn't go there. You two might like that but she's married. 5. "I'm coming for you Murdock" quote from Rambo II where Lt. Boyle/Charles Napier plays in that movie.
Clarice Starling is one of my favourite female movie characters of all time (I'm a guy by the way). She's smart, brave, resourceful, cute...the total package, lol.
Me, before watching your reaction to the movie: "I can't wait to see what they say about these great performances!" Me, after watching your reaction to the movie: "I like your reactions to the performances, but I think, like most people, you have to watch it a few more times, maybe even ten or more to get the subtle nuances of behind-the-scenes background story between Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling. The information you two get about Dr. Lecter is from Jack Crawford, a biased source. He's the cop that wants to keep an alpha personality like Dr. Lecter away from pretty young trainees, THAT'S why he's warning her from letting him get inside her head. Dr. Frederick Chilton, appropriately named since his very name sends chills of disgust up my spine, gives Clarice her next pieces of information about the good doctor. He tells her the rules when dealing with him, such as "don't get near the glass, don't pass him anything but soft paper, no pencils, no pens, only use the sliding food tray." Things like that, then he shows her a graphic photo of a nurse post-mutilation. You can see this man takes great glee in disturbing Clarice. Why? Because he's a disturbed perverted creep, that's why. Most of the information that's negative comes from outside personal experience, from other men who don't like their authority challenged. Clarice was able to get information out of Dr. Lecter, because number one, she's a young woman who comes from a very polite Southern background. Manners run strong in the areas she grew up in. And didn't Dr. Lecter say that rudeness is very ugly to him. That's what intrigued him at first, then when he tried to scare her off as a test, calling into question her reasons for being in the FBI, and the whole fava beans/chianti bit, she looked a bit frightened, but she didn't run. She's brave. That bravery drew him in, made him want to help her. And, remember, in this movie franchise, nothing is ever black and white. Considering, the real evil killer in this movie was Buffalo Bill. Dr. Lecter had to kill to escape. And, yes, the two cops were very rude to him, insulting him about his dinner, and I don't think they were very careful about the drawings the doctor had made of Clarice and her lamb, which I thought were outstandingly beautiful. There's a lot more information in the second movie after this one, called Hannibal, that Barney the orderly at the asylum shares with Clarice about what he and Dr. Lecter said when the lights went out. They were friends, you see. You only get this information if you watch the second movie. And I wholeheartedly wait in anticipation for you girls' reaction to it. I do hope you read this comment, it was written with you two in mind. There is no offense or anything of that kind here. Just some prodding in the right direction, and a bit of insight. Hope you girls are well. I'll see you in the next reaction video.
The scene where Buffalo Bill is imitating the girls screams is an incredible and subtle bit of acting. Buffalo Bill, in broad terms is Alexithymic, or unable to feel genuine emotions. He is also a true to the definition psychopath and is unable to feel empathy. So when she is screaming and pleading, his imitation of her is trying to emulate the things he himself is completely unfamiliar with.
Another great movie with Hannibal Lecter in it is "Manhunter" (1986). Directed by Michael Mann, an amazing director who made other great films such as "Heat" (1995) and "Collateral" (2004) and "The Jericho Mile" (1979).
There is a sequel called Hannibal which came out in 2001 and a prequel called Red Dragon that came out in 2002, Red Dragon is set before Silence of the Lambs and Anthony Hopkins is in all of them. There was also an origin story released in 2007 called Hannibal Rising, about the story of a young Hannibal Lecter. And most recently a TV show called Hannibal which has Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal Lecter, the TV show ran for 3 seasons from 2013 to 2015 and was very good.
Lecter has everyone in his grasp even though he's the one locked up he still has power over you. He's a sadist in the truest sense and a master manipulator.
@@salbro5985 To Thor: “You’re not worthy…” Edit: does this mean in an alternative universe say a what if situation that Clarice is worthy to pick up Thor’s hammer? Dang Clarice as Thor!
Jump Scare movies just startle you in the moment and then you forget about it. True horror like Silence Of The Lambs sticks with you even after the movie is over.
When Ridley Scott directed the sequel Hannibal, he tried to figure out what exactly was the relationship between Hannibal and Clarice. Then he realized they were “reluctant soulmates.”
Definition of mixed feelings, Michelle? Correctly guessing the next plot twist, but then realizing that that means you're on the same mental wavelength as Hannibal Lecter... ;-)
The scenario you described, too many babies and parents with no means to care for them, selling the babies to restaurants as food - just so you know, that's the plot of a famous satire (a deliberately absurd and comic take) by Jonathan Swift called _A Modest Proposal._ It's meant to be ridiculous. Not sure whether that's what your friend was referring to but, if so, it wasn't real.
Omg I can’t believe you figured out the part where Hannibal is wearing the cop’s face. I agree; you SHOULD be a detective! You two are adorable. I hope things are ok in Bulgaria.
@The Homies: Point about - you said ( asked, ) "Why is she even still alive?" about "Clarice" - NOT explained in the movie, but a long explaination would have slowed down the plot - "Clarice" IS ALIVE at the end ONLY because she is really skilled, really fast, and dedicated to her training. In the, also brilliant, 1988 novel of the same name by Thomas Harris ( that the movie 'The Silence of the Lambs' is based on ) - "Clarice" is either #1, or at least very near the top, of her range training ( training in pistol shooting ) class. She also is trained ( ? - FBI Academy, or self, trained - not really said in either the book or the movie ) to recognize the sound of a pistol being cocked. That's why she was able to whirl around and fire at "Jame 'Buffalo Bill' Gumb" - because she instantly recognized the sound of a pistol being cocked, whirled, and fired at where the sound came from. Still extremely impressive is that she was, IN THE DARK, able to shoot him twice in the chest. Also - you said ( asked, ) "Was there a sequel?" There was a sequel ( story set after ) AND a prequel ( story set before ) - both starring brilliant, Oscar winning*, Welsh ( from Wales ) actor ( Sir ) Anthony Hopkins again playing "Dr. Hannibal 'The Cannibal' Lecter." Both were again based on novels by Thomas Harris. 'Hannibal' ( 2001, based on Harris's 1999 novel ) is the sequel. It takes place ten ( 10 ) years after the events in 'The Silence of the Lambs,' and stars Hopkins, and Julianne Moore as "Clarice Starling" ( replacing Jodie Foster, who declined to reprise her role from the first film. ) 'Red Dragon' ( 2002, based on Harris's 1981 novel of the same name, ) is the prequel. It is also a remake ( sort of ) of the earlier movie adaptation of Harris's novel, 1986's 'Manhunter,' although with different actors playing the main characters. In 'Red Dragon' Hopkins again plays "Lecter." Also starring Edward Norton, Ralph Fiennes, Harvey Kietel, and Phillip Seymore Hoffman. There was also a further prequel movie - 'Hannibal Rising' ( 2007, based on Harris's 2006 novel, ) NOT involving any of the original cast ( set during "Hannibal Lecter's" childhood and young adulthood. ) And finally, there was a T.V. series - "Hannibal" [ 2013 - 2015, three ( 3 ) seasons. ] *won Best Actor Oscar for playing "Dr. Hannibal 'The Cannibal' Lecter" in 'The Silence of the Lambs' in 1991, awarded at the Oscar ceremony 1992.
Forgot to mention this last time ... Homies, it used to be part of the FBI's training that an agent did *not* walk away from their target/suspect, no matter how dangerous it might be for the agent - if you had a *chance* to catch & arrest them, you were supposed to *try* to get them, and you *never* left a victim/hostage in danger! So she went after him, as trained. I don't know if that's still the way they're trained or not.
It's a trilogy. "Hannibal" (2001) is next in line. Then Red Dragon (2002), it's a prequel. There's also Hannibal Rising (2006), another prequel. Hannibal Lecter is primarily based on real life serial killer Ed Kemper. He's playing a role in the Netflix series Mindhunter, which I can highly recommend.
The first appearance of Hannibal Lecter was in the movie "Manhunter" (1986). It's well worth seeing. Like "Silence of the Lambs", it shows us just how deadly Hannibal is, even when locked up.
I wouldn't call Clarice's actions "dumb" - foolhardy, perhaps. Jodie Foster's portrayal of Clarice was part of the inspiration when Chris Carter created agent Dana Scully for his series "The X-Files". In the early episodes, Scully even has a similar hairdo! 😊 Thanks for the reaction!
That was fun. I first saw this film on its original release. Scared the hell out of me. Watching it with you two was like seeing it for the first time again. 🙂
You should read the novel, the description of his cell is far more impressive but for filming purposes had to be scaled down. You also get more insight into lechter's manipulation. Also he is no longer a doctor as his license was revoked with his arrest and conviction. if you have ever watched the show MONK, you get to see a different side of the Buffalo bill actor. The reaction to tearing the face off is priceless now go watch the office parody with dwight lol. If I recall jodi foster declined to do the sequels in part of feeling messed up over this movie but also how Clarice develops.
I saw this in cinema at about nineteen or twenty as a young Airman. Years later a group of us got on the subject of the movie and impressions it made on us. One guy said he and his wife were at the beach and she handed him suntan lotion as she turned and pulled her hair aside. He smeared it on and said: “It puts the lotion on when it’s told . . . “ She cringed and said “Ahhh! Get off me!”
9:47 In the books there’s apparently a romantic connection between the two later in the series? But I think in this movie, it’s more that he sees potential in Clarice, as an investigator/profiler, and he’s getting some kind of satisfaction from nurturing that. He hasn’t been able to use his own skills for much, for 8 years. Completely normal retirees often get starved for stimulation, this is probably the most interesting thing to happen around Hannibal in almost a decade. Edit: you can also compare it to someone deciding to grow a rare orchid or a bonsai tree for fun
There is a second part entitled 'Hannibal" of 2001, also with the main characters, FBI agent Clarice Starling, played by another actress, and Dr. Hannibal Lecter, played again by the great Sir Anthony Hopkins.
A brilliant part was, they never interacted in any way, before or during shooting scenes. So when she shot her first scene with him, he add-libbed the part about eating the census takers liver, and also the part about calling her a rube, west Virginia accent, poor cheap shoes....she said she was terrified of him!!
37:03 Hey, speaking of Psycho Killer, the director of this movie (Jonathan Demme) made one of the best concert films of all time with Talking Heads, called Stop Making Sense
"Do you think cannibals really exist?" Yes, they do. In the last decade there has been a couple of documented cases (one in Germany, by the way). It should be noted, though, that not all cannibals are equal, there is a difference between cannibalism for survival and cannibalism as a ritual (either a religious ritual -accepted and practiced by a group or society- or a personal ritual where the individual considers cannibalism as part of life for some reason): Hannibal Lecter falls under the second type: he doesn't cannibalize people for survival, he does it because he thinks that person deserves that "attention" from his part, either for Hannibal's own pleasure or because it's his form to punish someone who deserves it. Most of the criminals (serial killers or not) that have been linked to cannibalism did it as part of a personal ritual (or under the heavy effects of some drugs), rather than a need of survival. As for a person trying to make a "woman suit" out of real women... that did happen. "Children in the menu" That... is mostly an urban legend XD. But in times of famine in the past century people have resorted (for survival) to consume relatives, specially the ones who die first or can't defend themselves from an attack (that's where the idea of the "children in the menu" thing mostly comes from). "The one child only policy in China" Yes, the policy that "one child is free, the second one pays taxes" was true for several years. And later on came back to haunt the ability of the country to produce more population since some families decided that they couldn't afford a second child, specially if the child was a girls (boys in the fields can produce enough to cover the extra payments, girls didn't... so families got rid of them in numbers that are not clear even today). No cannibalism was used for this purpose, though (at least not in general that we know). And that would be it; nice reaction video :P. Hope you decide to go for the following films (one is a sequel, one is a prequel, and the other one is a very early prequel -this one is my least favorite of all the story of Hannibal-). See you on the next one.
Cannibalism for survival, it sadly makes sense to eat the kids before the adults. Adults can survive and have more children, as opposed to parent/adults being killed, no one to raise the kids, the kids all die anyways. It's brutal but it is the correct survival mechanism in that scenario.
"What is that?" "I don't know." "Don't feel the smell, or what?" "Maybe." It has a powerful odor. You put it under your nose to obscure the scent of the rotting flesh, thus preventing you from reflexively vomiting. (Experienced people generally don't need it because their automatic reflex has become weaker.)
I've watched a bunch of y'all's reactions to movies. This one, y'all looked more nervous, jittery, anxious, and in edge, than just about any movie I've seen y'all do!
The child eating thing you were talking about is from a satirical essay by Jonathan Swyft, called "A Modest Proposal." It's pretty much a commentary on how the Irish were treated by the British.
There was a movie about pigs who were trying to stay quiet so they wouldn't be caught and turned into bacon. I think it was called "Silence of the Hams"
Now you get to see all of the other "related" movies. You will love how they tie the prequel to this movie. It's brilliant! You will also realize why so many of us LOVE Anthony Hopkins.
Ok, so next up is the Red Dragon movie, maybe the Hannible movie (is there two, I forget), and the 'Titus' movie (based on Shakespeares 'Titus Andronicus' play - see it or read it or look it up and you'll know why Hopkins was in the movie and why the movie's on this list). Also on the list is 'Psycho' (the original 60s Hitchcock version not the 90s remake) and maybe 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' - those tow movies and this one were all inspired by one Ed Gein (who oddly enough when he was caught and sentenced to an asylum was one of the asylums best behaved patients and had no desire to ever leave it, was surprisingly accepting when he heard an angry mob had destroyed his house).
There are 5 in this series of films. Manhunter, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, Red Dragon and Hannibal Rising. There is also a TV series called Hannibal that is very good!
From the very beginning, Hannibal told Clarice he was going to help her career. He made certain Jack Crawford would go to the wrong address so Clarice could go to the right one and get Buffalo Bill. Hannibal also arranged to give himself an opportunity to escape. These agents are all smart, but Hannibal Lecter is a genius.
And he is just waiting for her when she walks to his cage. Epic!
It's even more when you read the books. The end of Hannibal shows you just how much he got into Starlings head.
The whole line "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti". All three of these food/drink that'll render any kind of antipsychotics useless. He's telling her he's off his meds don't f#ck with me.
He also pre booked his flights to the Dominican republic knowing he was going to have dr Chilton over for dinner. Genius lol.
Well not the very beginning, first Miggs had to throw jizz in her face
So A few weeks after this was released, Anthony Hopkins decided to see what the audience reaction in a normal screening (as opposed to a Hollywood premiere) was, so he went to one, and sat quietly in the back. At the end, just before the lights came up, he turned to the woman next to him, put on his Hannibal Lecter voice, and said "did you enjoy the movie?" then watched her jump out of her skin...

Anthony Hopkins said that, a few months after the film came out, as he would take leisurely walks through downtown Malibu, California, strangers who saw him coming would deliberately cross the street to avoid him. That's when he realized just what kind of impact his performance had on the public. There's a good reason the amount of screen time for Hopkins's performance is by far the fewest for any winner of the Best Actor Academy Award.
Judy Dench's is shorter . For queen Elizabeth, I guess , it was 12 minutes . Hopkins' - 20 min.
Ted Levine deserves a large amount of credit for his twisted performance as Buffalo Bill. To this day people still ask "oh wait, was she a great big fat person?"
Ted was great. Contrast his work in *Silence* with that in *The Alienist.*
Lol, I say that too 🤣
He played such a different profile of a serial killer than Hannibal so incredibly well. Buffalo Bill wasn't a true psychopath, in that he hated himself, showed moments of compassion that he forced himself not to feel, was not very intelligent or careful, especially in how he disposed of the bodies over time.
By the way, I can't BELIEVE they cut out: "It rubs the lotion on it's skin, or else it gets the hose again".
I like the ending shot because it pans out to show Hannibal moving into the crowd and blending in seamlessly, hinting that anyone around you could be deranged like Hannibal.

I really like the ending of the "Silence of the lambs". Every time I get goosebumps when Hannibal Lecter walks slowly down the street and disappears into the crowd. This once again reminds us that evil is immortal, it is always there and can take on the most harmless and innocent form.
Credits roll, scene keeps moving.
The evil we can’t recognize is the scariest.
I love this ending for this exact reason.
I'm not entirely sure it even makes sense to say that Hannibal Lecter is evil. He is extremely dangerous, just like a tiger is dangerous, and we do best to keep both Lecter and the tiger in a cage. But Lecter is in a way barely human; intellectually he is easily super-human. He transcends our ideas of good and evil. If someone approaches him with respect, like Clarice did, he may actually be willing to help. It is clearly implied that the sleeze-bag director of the facility where Lecter was kept was less lucky in the end; he plainly became Lecter's dinner. We do not exactly grieve for him. In a way he had it coming.
I saw this movie at a sleepover when I was 14. I had no idea he escaped. I think the overall horror of the film made me miss out on a lot of details. That and having the attention son of a fourteen year old. I guess this deserves another watch!

"A Modest Proposal" by Johnathan Swift. That is probably where the ifea for selling children to restaurants came from. "Proposal" was a satire piece regarding the population issues in Ireland and was written around 1729. As satire, it was not intended to be taken seriously, but the work was meant to draw attention to economic, population, and other problems in Ireland at the time.
We read a bit of this in middle school in the 1980s as an example of satire.
Hannibal Lector's escape is one of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema.
I feel sad cause it lost all its excitement for me cause I saw the dying “officer” and instantly went “that’s obviously Lector… how are they not seeing that” so I was just frustrated the whole time.
The whole cast does such a brilliant performance. Thanks so much for reviewing this one!
WIFEY MATERIAL & BAD! !💦😍

Michelle’s comments are funny.
Intimidating scene where we first meet Hannibal: I love his eyes.
34:42 it is understood from this sequence that Buffalo Bill has a single action revolver so he is required to cock the noisy hammer first in order to fire his gun. Jodie Foster only needed to react to the sound of Buffalo Bill cocking his gun, fire on his direction, and drop him fast. If Buffalo Bill were to have a double action revolver then the movie would have ended differently 🤣.
It's a Colt Python, a double action revolver. Cocking the hammer was unnecessary, and the final element to his downfall. I find it somewhat ironic.
10:16 this incident was based off of what Ted Bundy did, who is one of the more Famous serial killers in the United States. The thing is it was a different time back then, he did this back in 1978 to 1981 I believe… but the good thing is is that people have learned from it and they have grown to recognize the danger of such incidents. I would like to believe that even though it’s a very difficult lesson it will help save lives in the future.
As well as Ed Gein. That is the inspiration of the woman suit. He also inspired Psycho and parts of Texas chainsaw Massacre.
The sequel Hannibal is definitely worth checking out as are the prequels Hannibal Rising & Red Dragon!
Great vid !!
I hate that everyone reacts only to this movie and never check out the rest
With "Hannibal", Ridley Scott decided to make a real balls-out horror movie.
@@bighugo27 That's because they all got progressively worse. You need a reality check.
@@jasontaverner391 its not about weather they got better or not, in my opinion i like hannibal better than SotL but its just no one is ever happy how SotL ends not knowing what happened to Lectar lol and in order to find out u need to see the sequel
Red Dragon (the movie) is forgettable. Manhunter adapts Harris' book Red Dragon better, despite the actor who plays Lector not being quite Hopkins' caliber. Red Dragon leans on Hopkins too much, while Manhunter focuses on the overall story and all of the characters not just Lector.
The precursor movie, “Manhunter”, I think is a good one to review. Set the stage for this one. They aren’t related though, different actors for the main characters.
This is a whole genre. The first movie is Red Dragon, original movie is Manhunter. Love that you guys watched this. ❤
I’m of the opinion that Manhunter was a better film and also Brian Cox was a better Hannibal because he seemed more real and not an over the top villain!!
I love Manhunter.
@@davidfollowerofjesuschrist5510 I agree. I'm more of a fan of the original too.
I read *Manhunter* way back when and Michael Mann did the movie pretty true to form and the *Red Dragon* is kind of a re-creation of some of those events. *The Red Dragon and the Lady Clothed with the Sun.*
I liked Manhunter until the end. *spoiler alert* I mean, seriously, you have a gun and you decide to TACKLE the guy who’s a foot taller than you and can toss you around like a rag doll? Bunch of epicness culminating in a moment so stupid I can never watch it again, though my friend and I did laugh out loud for like two minutes, so I guess it entertained in a way. I like Brian Cox, but yes he seemed so not over the top that he was pretty much forgettable, basically run of the mill.
"Do you spook easily, Starling?"
One of cinema history's most leading questions.
This was a nice surprise - two of my favorite reactors watching one of my favorite movies. Can't wait to see what you'll do next !
These two don't seem to be obsessed with being right about everything and then arguing about it through the entire reaction, so they get along and it's fun to watch.
i definitely watched this movie too young. it was my first wakeup call of just how evil people could be. even the music is quite haunting to me
You were wondering why she didn't wait for backup. Its because he would of killed katherine by then.
Getting into the back of a van is a bad idea in the US too, not just in Bulgaria. I like when the 2 of you do a reaction together. Hello from Colorado, USA.
This is a real tactic that Ted Bundy used to lure some of his victims.
I know.
Wait, there's someone outside having trouble with his trunk.
Be right back... :)
At the risk of sounding mean, my guess is that large and unattractive girls are probably a little less wary about helping strange men than women who look like Ellie and Michelle.
@ 10:15
" This is so fucking obvious..."
"Yeah. Maybe because we live in Bulgaria."
LMAO.
That moment when Starling says, “No. No you ate yours” is the exact moment Lecter thinks, “Oh! You’re not afraid to go /there/ within the first five minutes. Oh, I like you.” Their relationship starts there and develops through the rest of the movie and deepens in the book series.
Michelle really enjoys the darkness of this film. I approve.
Also, Anthony Hopkins moved back to Wales a couple of years ago. When he did, he toured around a bit, getting reacquainted with the country, including spending the day in my hometown. Sadly I was working and didn't get the chance to see him. Plenty of selfies on FB though. Top bloke.
"What?!? He's in a cage in the middle of a big room." Yes. It's like a castle. The castle has walls (the cage), but then the space outside the walls is completely cleared so there's no place for anyone to hide. Anyone who tries to cross it will be exposed to the defender's ranged weapons (like arrows or guns). It's inside out here, with the guards on the outside, but the idea is the same: if the prisoner somehow escapes the cage, he still has no protection or hiding places when trying to leave.
36:29 I love how when they say horror it sounds like whore. "I'm not okay with the whore who jumps out of mirror or under bedroom and touch your leg." Me either, sister.
One of the greatest horror films of all time. It's smart and psychological horror.
Hanibal touching Clarice finger is metaphoric. It is a reference to "The Creation of Adam" wich is a fresco painting by Michelangelo on the Sistine Chapel's ceiling. Not sure what it means for this movie. Maybe with Hannibal forcing Clarice to talk about her nightmare and force her to face off her inner fears, Hannibal (God) did change her life, it is like he created a new Clarice (Adam).
"When your little girl is on the slab, where will it tickle you?"
Lol.. hilariously evil.
I think Ellie's going to be woken by the screaming of the lambs tonight.
I remember this movie! Very good one, especially Anthony Hopkins performance.
There is 2 other movies with the same actor but the next (Hannibal) Jodie Foster is replaced by Julianne Moore. And the third movie (Red Dragon) is a prequel with another detective.
Anyway, those will definitely require Michelle's arm to hold on to. So be prepared ^^
Great call on Hannibal's escape, definitely caught me by surprise the first time I saw it.
I like to think about Hannibal laying there with a man's face on his face, stifling a chuckle as this junior cop talks reassuring nonsense into his ear.
More like this please. Se7en, Primal Fear, Kiss the Girls, etc.
Pleasant surprise seeing this one today 😄
17 minutes of screen time and he got an Oscar.
So crazy it was that short but best 17 mins in movie history.
1. This film took all 5 of the top Oscars. You can see why.
2. The lisping noise Hopkins makes after, "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." was ad lib to get Foster's reaction. It was their first dialog.
3. Ted Levine/Buffalo Bill got death threats after the release of this film.
4. There are a ton of men hitting on her. IRL it wouldn't fly. Foster doesn't go there. You two might like that but she's married.
5. "I'm coming for you Murdock" quote from Rambo II where Lt. Boyle/Charles Napier plays in that movie.
Clarice Starling is one of my favourite female movie characters of all time (I'm a guy by the way). She's smart, brave, resourceful, cute...the total package, lol.
Starting this video the two women doing the reaction are all smiles. That won't last long, lol.
lol The timing of the dog walking in the background while you're discussing Chinese dining xD
Me, before watching your reaction to the movie: "I can't wait to see what they say about these great performances!"
Me, after watching your reaction to the movie: "I like your reactions to the performances, but I think, like most people, you have to watch it a few more times, maybe even ten or more to get the subtle nuances of behind-the-scenes background story between Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling. The information you two get about Dr. Lecter is from Jack Crawford, a biased source. He's the cop that wants to keep an alpha personality like Dr. Lecter away from pretty young trainees, THAT'S why he's warning her from letting him get inside her head. Dr. Frederick Chilton, appropriately named since his very name sends chills of disgust up my spine, gives Clarice her next pieces of information about the good doctor. He tells her the rules when dealing with him, such as "don't get near the glass, don't pass him anything but soft paper, no pencils, no pens, only use the sliding food tray." Things like that, then he shows her a graphic photo of a nurse post-mutilation. You can see this man takes great glee in disturbing Clarice. Why? Because he's a disturbed perverted creep, that's why. Most of the information that's negative comes from outside personal experience, from other men who don't like their authority challenged. Clarice was able to get information out of Dr. Lecter, because number one, she's a young woman who comes from a very polite Southern background. Manners run strong in the areas she grew up in. And didn't Dr. Lecter say that rudeness is very ugly to him. That's what intrigued him at first, then when he tried to scare her off as a test, calling into question her reasons for being in the FBI, and the whole fava beans/chianti bit, she looked a bit frightened, but she didn't run. She's brave. That bravery drew him in, made him want to help her. And, remember, in this movie franchise, nothing is ever black and white. Considering, the real evil killer in this movie was Buffalo Bill. Dr. Lecter had to kill to escape. And, yes, the two cops were very rude to him, insulting him about his dinner, and I don't think they were very careful about the drawings the doctor had made of Clarice and her lamb, which I thought were outstandingly beautiful. There's a lot more information in the second movie after this one, called Hannibal, that Barney the orderly at the asylum shares with Clarice about what he and Dr. Lecter said when the lights went out. They were friends, you see. You only get this information if you watch the second movie. And I wholeheartedly wait in anticipation for you girls' reaction to it. I do hope you read this comment, it was written with you two in mind. There is no offense or anything of that kind here. Just some prodding in the right direction, and a bit of insight. Hope you girls are well. I'll see you in the next reaction video.
The first ever Horror Thriller film to win Best Picture.
It's not really any more of a horror than "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" ... at least in my opinion.
Yes. It is a horror film. I don't know why people can't see this fact. Too used to Jason movies I guess.
The scene where Buffalo Bill is imitating the girls screams is an incredible and subtle bit of acting. Buffalo Bill, in broad terms is Alexithymic, or unable to feel genuine emotions. He is also a true to the definition psychopath and is unable to feel empathy. So when she is screaming and pleading, his imitation of her is trying to emulate the things he himself is completely unfamiliar with.
Another great movie with Hannibal Lecter in it is "Manhunter" (1986). Directed by Michael Mann, an amazing director who made other great films such as "Heat" (1995) and "Collateral" (2004) and "The Jericho Mile" (1979).
"Why does he want to help her?"
"Maybe he likes her."
You nailed it on the head, girls! Good job!
There is a sequel called Hannibal which came out in 2001 and a prequel called Red Dragon that came out in 2002, Red Dragon is set before Silence of the Lambs and Anthony Hopkins is in all of them. There was also an origin story released in 2007 called Hannibal Rising, about the story of a young Hannibal Lecter. And most recently a TV show called Hannibal which has Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal Lecter, the TV show ran for 3 seasons from 2013 to 2015 and was very good.
Lecter has everyone in his grasp even though he's the one locked up he still has power over you. He's a sadist in the truest sense and a master manipulator.
Hey homies Hannibal is played by Thor’s dad Odin. Sir Anthony Hopkins.
"I deem you worthy, Clarice..."
@@salbro5985 To Thor: “You’re not worthy…”
Edit: does this mean in an alternative universe say a what if situation that Clarice is worthy to pick up Thor’s hammer? Dang Clarice as Thor!
Saw this as a teen when it first came out. One of the best!
the combo of one looking turned on and the other looking horrified during the prison break - good content right there!
Is this entire country filled with beautiful women with sexy accents? Fuck it, I'm moving to Bulgaria.
31:57 "oh you're so dumb" with strong accent is lovely and funny
Jump Scare movies just startle you in the moment and then you forget about it. True horror like Silence Of The Lambs sticks with you even after the movie is over.
I love watching the expressions on all the Homies faces, but the one that is the absolutely most precious is Ellie.
One of the best movies ever, that I have watched a 100 times. Watching them discover it was like watching it for the first time. So enjoyable.
When Ridley Scott directed the sequel Hannibal, he tried to figure out what exactly was the relationship between Hannibal and Clarice. Then he realized they were “reluctant soulmates.”
Definition of mixed feelings, Michelle? Correctly guessing the next plot twist, but then realizing that that means you're on the same mental wavelength as Hannibal Lecter... ;-)
She's Will Graham :)
@@PaulSchober This is her design.
The scenario you described, too many babies and parents with no means to care for them, selling the babies to restaurants as food - just so you know, that's the plot of a famous satire (a deliberately absurd and comic take) by Jonathan Swift called _A Modest Proposal._ It's meant to be ridiculous. Not sure whether that's what your friend was referring to but, if so, it wasn't real.
Michelle was dead on! Great job to the both of you!
Omg I can’t believe you figured out the part where Hannibal is wearing the cop’s face. I agree; you SHOULD be a detective! You two are adorable. I hope things are ok in Bulgaria.
@The Homies: Point about - you said ( asked, ) "Why is she even still alive?" about "Clarice" - NOT explained in the movie, but a long explaination would have slowed down the plot - "Clarice" IS ALIVE at the end ONLY because she is really skilled, really fast, and dedicated to her training. In the, also brilliant, 1988 novel of the same name by Thomas Harris ( that the movie 'The Silence of the Lambs' is based on ) - "Clarice" is either #1, or at least very near the top, of her range training ( training in pistol shooting ) class.
She also is trained ( ? - FBI Academy, or self, trained - not really said in either the book or the movie ) to recognize the sound of a pistol being cocked. That's why she was able to whirl around and fire at "Jame 'Buffalo Bill' Gumb" - because she instantly recognized the sound of a pistol being cocked, whirled, and fired at where the sound came from. Still extremely impressive is that she was, IN THE DARK, able to shoot him twice in the chest.
Also - you said ( asked, ) "Was there a sequel?" There was a sequel ( story set after ) AND a prequel ( story set before ) - both starring brilliant, Oscar winning*, Welsh ( from Wales ) actor ( Sir ) Anthony Hopkins again playing "Dr. Hannibal 'The Cannibal' Lecter." Both were again based on novels by Thomas Harris. 'Hannibal' ( 2001, based on Harris's 1999 novel ) is the sequel. It takes place ten ( 10 ) years after the events in 'The Silence of the Lambs,' and stars Hopkins, and Julianne Moore as "Clarice Starling" ( replacing Jodie Foster, who declined to reprise her role from the first film. ) 'Red Dragon' ( 2002, based on Harris's 1981 novel of the same name, ) is the prequel. It is also a remake ( sort of ) of the earlier movie adaptation of Harris's novel, 1986's 'Manhunter,' although with different actors playing the main characters. In 'Red Dragon' Hopkins again plays "Lecter." Also starring Edward Norton, Ralph Fiennes, Harvey Kietel, and Phillip Seymore Hoffman.
There was also a further prequel movie - 'Hannibal Rising' ( 2007, based on Harris's 2006 novel, ) NOT involving any of the original cast ( set during "Hannibal Lecter's" childhood and young adulthood. )
And finally, there was a T.V. series - "Hannibal" [ 2013 - 2015, three ( 3 ) seasons. ]
*won Best Actor Oscar for playing "Dr. Hannibal 'The Cannibal' Lecter" in 'The Silence of the Lambs' in 1991, awarded at the Oscar ceremony 1992.
Forgot to mention this last time ... Homies, it used to be part of the FBI's training that an agent did *not* walk away from their target/suspect, no matter how dangerous it might be for the agent - if you had a *chance* to catch & arrest them, you were supposed to *try* to get them, and you *never* left a victim/hostage in danger! So she went after him, as trained. I don't know if that's still the way they're trained or not.
It's a trilogy. "Hannibal" (2001) is next in line. Then Red Dragon (2002), it's a prequel. There's also Hannibal Rising (2006), another prequel. Hannibal Lecter is primarily based on real life serial killer Ed Kemper. He's playing a role in the Netflix series Mindhunter, which I can highly recommend.
The first appearance of Hannibal Lecter was in the movie "Manhunter" (1986). It's well worth seeing. Like "Silence of the Lambs", it shows us just how deadly Hannibal is, even when locked up.
Have y'all reacted to The Exorcist yet? 😈 I don't feel like interrupting my watching your Silence reaction to check.
I wouldn't call Clarice's actions "dumb" - foolhardy, perhaps. Jodie Foster's portrayal of Clarice was part of the inspiration when Chris Carter created agent Dana Scully for his series "The X-Files". In the early episodes, Scully even has a similar hairdo! 😊 Thanks for the reaction!
Such a great reaction. These two make a good duo.
"I should be a detective!"
"OR A KILLER!"
Laughed my ass off!!
There is an analysis of an episode of Westworld that highlights the perfection of Anthony Hopkins acting.
That was fun. I first saw this film on its original release. Scared the hell out of me. Watching it with you two was like seeing it for the first time again. 🙂
You should read the novel, the description of his cell is far more impressive but for filming purposes had to be scaled down. You also get more insight into lechter's manipulation. Also he is no longer a doctor as his license was revoked with his arrest and conviction. if you have ever watched the show MONK, you get to see a different side of the Buffalo bill actor. The reaction to tearing the face off is priceless now go watch the office parody with dwight lol. If I recall jodi foster declined to do the sequels in part of feeling messed up over this movie but also how Clarice develops.
I saw this in cinema at about nineteen or twenty as a young Airman. Years later a group of us got on the subject of the movie and impressions it made on us. One guy said he and his wife were at the beach and she handed him suntan lotion as she turned and pulled her hair aside. He smeared it on and said: “It puts the lotion on when it’s told . . . “ She cringed and said “Ahhh! Get off me!”
9:47 In the books there’s apparently a romantic connection between the two later in the series? But I think in this movie, it’s more that he sees potential in Clarice, as an investigator/profiler, and he’s getting some kind of satisfaction from nurturing that. He hasn’t been able to use his own skills for much, for 8 years. Completely normal retirees often get starved for stimulation, this is probably the most interesting thing to happen around Hannibal in almost a decade.
Edit: you can also compare it to someone deciding to grow a rare orchid or a bonsai tree for fun
38:17 That sounds like *A Modest Proposal* written by Jonathan Swift in 1729. It was a satirical essay about the way the British treated the Irish.
There is a second part entitled 'Hannibal" of 2001, also with the main characters, FBI agent Clarice Starling, played by another actress, and Dr. Hannibal Lecter, played again by the great Sir Anthony Hopkins.
A brilliant part was, they never interacted in any way, before or during shooting scenes. So when she shot her first scene with him, he add-libbed the part about eating the census takers liver, and also the part about calling her a rube, west Virginia accent, poor cheap shoes....she said she was terrified of him!!
37:03 Hey, speaking of Psycho Killer, the director of this movie (Jonathan Demme) made one of the best concert films of all time with Talking Heads, called Stop Making Sense
"Do you think cannibals really exist?"
Yes, they do. In the last decade there has been a couple of documented cases (one in Germany, by the way). It should be noted, though, that not all cannibals are equal, there is a difference between cannibalism for survival and cannibalism as a ritual (either a religious ritual -accepted and practiced by a group or society- or a personal ritual where the individual considers cannibalism as part of life for some reason): Hannibal Lecter falls under the second type: he doesn't cannibalize people for survival, he does it because he thinks that person deserves that "attention" from his part, either for Hannibal's own pleasure or because it's his form to punish someone who deserves it. Most of the criminals (serial killers or not) that have been linked to cannibalism did it as part of a personal ritual (or under the heavy effects of some drugs), rather than a need of survival. As for a person trying to make a "woman suit" out of real women... that did happen.
"Children in the menu"
That... is mostly an urban legend XD. But in times of famine in the past century people have resorted (for survival) to consume relatives, specially the ones who die first or can't defend themselves from an attack (that's where the idea of the "children in the menu" thing mostly comes from).
"The one child only policy in China"
Yes, the policy that "one child is free, the second one pays taxes" was true for several years. And later on came back to haunt the ability of the country to produce more population since some families decided that they couldn't afford a second child, specially if the child was a girls (boys in the fields can produce enough to cover the extra payments, girls didn't... so families got rid of them in numbers that are not clear even today). No cannibalism was used for this purpose, though (at least not in general that we know).
And that would be it; nice reaction video :P. Hope you decide to go for the following films (one is a sequel, one is a prequel, and the other one is a very early prequel -this one is my least favorite of all the story of Hannibal-). See you on the next one.
Cannibalism for survival, it sadly makes sense to eat the kids before the adults. Adults can survive and have more children, as opposed to parent/adults being killed, no one to raise the kids, the kids all die anyways. It's brutal but it is the correct survival mechanism in that scenario.
"What is that?" "I don't know." "Don't feel the smell, or what?" "Maybe."
It has a powerful odor. You put it under your nose to obscure the scent of the rotting flesh, thus preventing you from reflexively vomiting. (Experienced people generally don't need it because their automatic reflex has become weaker.)
"It's her forest and she's training" is by far the best, best, *best* explanation I've ever heard as to why Clarise chases Bill into Hell.
Lol, I'm right outside of Baltimore, also called the murder capital of the USA some year's.Always loved this movie, awesome channel 👍
I've watched a bunch of y'all's reactions to movies. This one, y'all looked more nervous, jittery, anxious, and in edge, than just about any movie I've seen y'all do!
"It rubs the lotion on its skin, it does this whenever it's told !"
Now that's poetry. 👌🏻
The child eating thing you were talking about is from a satirical essay by Jonathan Swyft, called "A Modest Proposal." It's pretty much a commentary on how the Irish were treated by the British.
Do you realize that Anthony Hopkins aka Hannibl Lector plays Odin in the Thor movies? The guy has a spectacular range.
There was a movie about pigs who were trying to stay quiet so they wouldn't be caught and turned into bacon. I think it was called "Silence of the Hams"
Ellie (not sure of spelling) has a great "terrified/horrified" facial expression. Reminds me of Faye Dunaway in "Rosemary's Baby."
Now you get to see all of the other "related" movies. You will love how they tie the prequel to this movie. It's brilliant! You will also realize why so many of us LOVE Anthony Hopkins.
The sequel to silence of the lambs is Hannibal. Julianne Moore replaces Jodie foster as Clarice Starling.
One of my favorite movies. The cast was brilliant
Ok, so next up is the Red Dragon movie, maybe the Hannible movie (is there two, I forget), and the 'Titus' movie (based on Shakespeares 'Titus Andronicus' play - see it or read it or look it up and you'll know why Hopkins was in the movie and why the movie's on this list).
Also on the list is 'Psycho' (the original 60s Hitchcock version not the 90s remake) and maybe 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' - those tow movies and this one were all inspired by one Ed Gein (who oddly enough when he was caught and sentenced to an asylum was one of the asylums best behaved patients and had no desire to ever leave it, was surprisingly accepting when he heard an angry mob had destroyed his house).
There is a series of movies based on the Thomas Harris novels, Author of Silence Of The Lambs. There was also a tv series called Hannibal.
When Hannibal turned a cop into a disemboweled Angel was art.
"I'm so f*cking GOOD!"
That's my superhero name.
There are 5 in this series of films. Manhunter, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, Red Dragon and Hannibal Rising. There is also a TV series called Hannibal that is very good!
I believe it was said Anthony Hopkins hardly ever blinked when on camera which helped sell his character, I'd say it worked.
Ellie ,”My Queen, Now and Forever. “🌹🌞❤️
It's so sweet how she cuddles up with her friend.
I cannot believe they did not show the moment that Clarice in Buffalo Bill's house sees the moth land then turns to him in realization of who he is.
