From the screenplay to the performances to the directing, it is just superb. All the Oscars were richly deserved.

    One little bit of trivia - when Clarice and Lecter first meet, he copies her accent to mock her. That wasn't actually scripted, and Jodie Foster (who had been working hard on the accent) took it quite personally. Anthony hadn't meant to upset her, and after they discussed it, became good friends, collaborating on how to play the characters. Even though they have so few interactions, they are ALL excellent.

      Sgt Pembry was cordial to him too. There is no rule that will keep Lecter from killing you if he sees a need to do so. He's not an honorable sociopath, he's just a sociopath who wants people to think he's honorable because it benefits him for people to think so. He doesn't refrain from killing people who treat him well; after all, look at Will Graham. No, the only reason he didn't kill Clarice is because he had a boner for her and she never got in his way. Lecter won't kill you if he thinks he can use you, but even when you hold that status, it's very ephemeral.

      We used Vicks and menthol chewing gum to help mask the smell when I was deployed to Gitmo while serving as a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy. I was part of a rotation sent to provide care to guards and detainees. There were a few hunger strikers while I was there, and the CO was determined that no one was going to starve themselves to death on his watch. We had to drop nasogastric tubes to feed them Ensure. The hunger strikers would cover their jumpsuits in their own feces, and shove bread up their nostrils. That was so we had to get close, and use curettes to get the bread out before we could drop the NG tubes (the detainees were strapped down to chairs for the feeding process). Even the smell of Vicks barely did anything to mask the smell of feces. As soon as the *CELL BLOCK* doors opened, you were gagging on the smell 50+ feet away. It was beyond overwhelming once your face was right up next to their feces-smeared chests... That was not a remotely fun job...

      The exact wording is "appearing on screen for little more than 16 minutes" which reasonable people take as how long he's in the movie for, and by my DVD copy that translates to 34 minutes 54 seconds including voice time as he enters then exits each of the ten scenes he is in.
      What makes the figure believable to be fair, other than how unfair it is to Hopkins by having reputable sites blindly repeat it without checking, is that Hannibal is completely absent for extended periods of the movie twice, once for almost 20 minutes and another for over 25 minutes. Also his first appearance isn't until almost 12 minutes in.
      Here's the breakdown from my DVD giving start - end timestamps = duration (running total):
      11:55 - 18:38 = 6:43 (6:43) "May I see your credentials?"
      26:54 - 30:20 = 3:26 (10:09) "Your bleeding has stopped."
      50:03 - 55:20 = 5:17 (15:26) "Quid pro quo"
      57:17 - 58:20 = 1:03 (16:29) "His first name is Louis"
      58:49 - 1:02:10 = 3:21 (19:50) "Where will it tickle you?"
      1:04:03 - 1:10:45 = 6:42 (26:32) "Good evening, Clarice."
      1:11:23 - 1:15:10 = 3:47 (30:19) "Mind the drawings please."
      1:16:52 - 1:19:31 = 2:39 (32:58) "Talk to him!"
      1:21:13 - 1:21:33 = 0:20 (33:18) "Pulse 84."

    When Starling first meets Lecter in his cell, he mentions a picture he drew of the Belvedere monastery. Buffalo Bill lived in Belvedere, Ohio. His last words to the Senator were "love your suit," and Buffalo Bill is making a skin suit. He's having fun by throwing clues in everyone's faces without them knowing.

    Following Buffalo Bill into the basement does seem like a bad move at first blush, but you have to look at the whole picture.
    Her people arent nearby and it would take police likely 10 minutes or more to get there. She also knows Katherine Martin is being held there. If she stays upstairs or exits the home, leaving Bill with Katherine, she will likely be killed.
    Tough call, but the right one, imho.

      I have said the exact same thing in other reactions. Yes, she should have called for back up if she could (pre cell phones), but she couldn't just wait. That's exactly why the police are taking it in the ass for waiting at the Robb Elementary shooting in Texas instead of going in.

    • @d.-_-.b
      @d.-_-.b 10 місяців тому +1

      The exact wording is "appearing on screen for little more than 16 minutes" which reasonable people take as how long he's in the movie for, and by my DVD copy that translates to 34 minutes 54 seconds including voice time as he enters then exits each of the ten scenes he is in.
      What makes the figure believable to be fair, other than how unfair it is to Hopkins by having reputable sites blindly repeat it without checking, is that Hannibal is completely absent for extended periods of the movie twice, once for almost 20 minutes and another for over 25 minutes. Also his first appearance isn't until almost 12 minutes in.
      Here's the breakdown from my DVD giving start - end timestamps = duration (running total):
      11:55 - 18:38 = 6:43 (6:43) "May I see your credentials?"
      26:54 - 30:20 = 3:26 (10:09) "Your bleeding has stopped."
      50:03 - 55:20 = 5:17 (15:26) "Quid pro quo"
      57:17 - 58:20 = 1:03 (16:29) "His first name is Louis"
      58:49 - 1:02:10 = 3:21 (19:50) "Where will it tickle you?"
      1:04:03 - 1:10:45 = 6:42 (26:32) "Good evening, Clarice."
      1:11:23 - 1:15:10 = 3:47 (30:19) "Mind the drawings please."
      1:16:52 - 1:19:31 = 2:39 (32:58) "Talk to him!"
      1:21:13 - 1:21:33 = 0:20 (33:18) "Pulse 84."
      1:47:26 - 1:49:02 = 1:36 (34:54) "I'm having an old friend for dinner."

    There is a really short scene in this movie that perfectly captures Demme’s masterful direction. After all that Clarice has been through in Tennessee, she’s walking through the airport. A male extra passes directly in front of her and gives her a look, and she clutches her bag a little tighter. Extras don’t pass in front of the main actors unless specifically instructed by the director. It’s such a quick little scene that reminds the audience of the world Clarice inhabits, calling back to the elevator scene where all the men stare down at her.
    This movie is nothing short of a masterpiece.

      Yeah, I think the thing about Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley is that they're more action heroes - at least action hero adjacent (at least in the sequels - spoiler alert for 40 year old movies) - whereas Clarice isn't, so when we're talking "strong female characters" we think of action/sci fi before we think of thrillers, I think.
      I would say that Sarah Connor, Ripley, Leia, and Trinity are the Mount Rushmore of Sci Fi females... arguably "action heroes"... although again... action hero adjacent definitely, but "action hero" is a bit thornier... with the "action" part but also the "hero" part because two are clearly protagonists but the other two are... mostly? But not entirely.
      (I'd say Sarah is an action hero in 2, not 1; I'd say Ripley gets there in 2, not 1, although she's adjacent in 1 - more of a Final Girl? But not "just" that either... Trinity definitely is, that one's easy... Leia is pretty much action hero adjacent right off the bat, but I'm not sure she gets full-on status... I'm not sure she gets enough "action" moments to fully get there in the movies... but what is there in the movies also hints at her being capable of it, and that plus the books, you can argue she gets there at times? But I'd say overall, nah.)
      The great thing about that 4some is that they all get there in different ways: one starts out a fully formed action hero badass (Trinity, with an iconic badass intro), one starts out pretty tough, definitely fully formed as a "strong" and confident character (Leia) whereas Ripley, while starting out pretty "strong" as far as she's assertive (like when she confronts Ash) but she's not full-on movie badass until the 2nd movie, like Sarah... so it's cool how they all kinda have different journeys to get there.
      As far as other non-sci fi "strong" female characters, in addition to Clarice, I think Marge Gunderson from "Fargo" is up there with Clarice. I think she's a really interesting character because of how unorthodox she is. I heard somebody describe her as a "badass" and I kinda think the opposite. Like... she's a "strong" character because the *writing* is strong, and she's very capable, but she's like the opposite of the traditional detective hero character. Typically you get these hard-boiled, tortured, obsessed detective types, but she's got this incredible work/life balance that like... she goes to work, is very thorough and capable, then goes home and leaves work at work. (She's also introduced pretty late in the movie, which again: another interesting/unorthodox choice by the Coens.) I'm not a huge Coen bros fan ("The Big Lebowski" is an all-timer, "Burn After Reading" is kinda brilliant, but other than that... I appreciate the talent, I definitely appreciate that "Fargo" and "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" are really well-crafted movies) and I'm definitely not a huge "Fargo" fan, but I appreciate the craftsmanship, of the movie and also of the character of Marge, specifically.

    One of the best pieces of method acting. Hopkins said that when he was deciding how to play Lector, he chose to model all the characteristics after a spider. The way he stands in the center of his cell like a spider in the middle of its web, the very small movements he makes when he isn’t yet ready to strike, the sucking sound he makes like a spider sucking blood from a fly, every minor detail in each scene he asked himself how a spider would react. As a result, Lector became one of the most unsettling screen villains ever.

      “Method acting is a technique or type of acting in which an actor aspires to encourage sincere and emotionally expressive performances by fully inhabiting the role of the character. It is an emotion-oriented technique instead of classical acting that is primarily action-based.“
      The role of the spider is what he was trying to fully express and inhabit. Thus, method acting. And Hopkins used the very term himself when talking about it.

    I remember hearing an NPR review about this movie when it first premiered. The host of the review played the clip of Clarice's roommate asking her if she thinks Hannibal will come after her after he escapes. However, the host of the review didn't give away the spoiler. He set up the scene as 'IF Lector would escape, would he seek out Clarice'. So while I was wrapped up with Wild Bill and thinking Lector stays locked up, image my surprise when he escapes in a violent manner. If Buffalo Bill was bad, Lector was far worse.

      During the shoot, he kept trying to think up things to freak her out, like that weird sound he makes after the "fava beans and chianti" line and him stroking her finger. Her reaction to that sound was so good, they left it in the movie. She was really struggling to keep her composure in that scene IRL. Lol. X)

    Fun fact. A young and buff Anthony Hopkins co-starred in the 1968 Academy Award winning film _The Lion in Winter._ The movie stared Peter O'Toole and the late great Katharine Hepburn as King Henry II and Queen Eleanore of Aquitaine. Hepburn played the mother to Hopkins' Richard, Nigel Terry's John and John Castle's Geoffrey. The story is of the royal family meeting for Christmas court to decide among other things who is next in the line of succession.
    Hopkins credits Hepburn with teaching him how to be a proper movie actor. And Hepburn is phenomenal in the movie. Hepburn's razor sharp wit, impeccable diction and amazing dignity became the basis for Hopkins' portrayal of Hannibal Lecter in _The Silence of the Lambs._ I highly recommend the film.

    Fun fact: Lecter tells Clarice exactly where to find Buffalo Bill at their first meeting. She asks about his drawing and he says it's of the Duomo, as seen from the Belvedere. Bill lives in Belvedere, OH, and that's where he started his killing spree (and where Starling inadvertently finds him at the end). It's clearer in the book, but Lecter knew (or suspected) Jame Gumb was Buffalo Bill because Benjamin Raspail was both Gumb's lover and Lecter's patient, and Raspail told Lecter about him. Lecter hid the clue in plain sight, so to speak.

    Addendum:
    Do not bother watching the sequel movie "Hannibal". Not only is the script mediocre at best (with 2 halfway memorable scenes), but also they recast Clarice with Julianne Moore, who plays the role so differently that it seems like a completely new character. And she is not half as likeable as Jodie Foster was in the role.

    I love this film. Hopkins won the Oscar for just being in it for just 16 minutes (and yet it wasn't the shortest amount of time for an Oscar) Right at the star Lecter was playing with Starling; "That is the Duomo as seen from the Belvedere. Do you know Florence?" Belvedere, Buffalo Bill lived in Belvedere USA. You can tell from Lecter's posturing that he was impressed by her intelligence. If Starling gave him his view, their would never had been a scam, and he wouldn't have escaped. The novel Room with a View, starts with an airing of a grievance of a room lacking a view of, where else but Florence. "His pulse never got above 85" In the ambulance, the EMT states the patient has a pulse of 85. The whole prison break scene is really interesting: From his 2nd dinner of Lam Chops Extra Rare (the lambs he kills are the guards, while dinner isn't his) to the music (the Goldberg Variations, a cold calculating piece of classical music by Brahms, to which Lecter is entranced, a fugue state, preparing for his savage attack) to his brutality (akin to an animal wrapped in a skin-suite) and the artistic flourishes with the body as an angel, is all pure distraction to aid in his escape. In the book, Hannibal eats the liver with a nice Amarone. When the director asked why Hopkins was standing, waiting for Foster's character, he replied, "because I can smell her approaching".
    I also love the joke that only medical people or the chemistry-savvy caught; the whole liver and Fava Beans quote - Lecter would be treated with drugs called Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) but you can't take them with Liver, Beans, or wine. He's making a professional joke and stating that he's off his medication at the same time! If you ever decide to react to a horror tv series, I must suggest the Hannibal tv show, as it was so stylish and artfully done!

      The exact wording is "appearing on screen for little more than 16 minutes" which reasonable people take as how long he's in the movie for, and by my DVD copy that translates to 34 minutes 54 seconds including voice time as he enters then exits each of the ten scenes he is in.
      What makes the figure believable to be fair, other than how unfair it is to Hopkins by having reputable sites blindly repeat it without checking, is that Hannibal is completely absent for extended periods of the movie twice, once for almost 20 minutes and another for over 25 minutes. Also his first appearance isn't until almost 12 minutes in.
      Here's the breakdown from my DVD giving start - end timestamps = duration (running total):
      11:55 - 18:38 = 6:43 (6:43) "May I see your credentials?"
      26:54 - 30:20 = 3:26 (10:09) "Your bleeding has stopped."
      50:03 - 55:20 = 5:17 (15:26) "Quid pro quo"
      57:17 - 58:20 = 1:03 (16:29) "His first name is Louis"
      58:49 - 1:02:10 = 3:21 (19:50) "Where will it tickle you?"
      1:04:03 - 1:10:45 = 6:42 (26:32) "Good evening, Clarice."
      1:11:23 - 1:15:10 = 3:47 (30:19) "Mind the drawings please."
      1:16:52 - 1:19:31 = 2:39 (32:58) "Talk to him!"
      1:21:13 - 1:21:33 = 0:20 (33:18) "Pulse 84."
      1:47:26 - 1:49:02 = 1:36 (34:54) "I'm having an old friend for dinner."
