    Great reaction! Also, re: your question about why Clarice didn't "call in" for help before trying to get Bill at the end: you have to remember that this is taking place in 1991, and so she doesn't have a cell phone or any other means of communication to call for backup. She's technically "off-duty" and came to the house in her own cheap car, so it's not equipped with any sort of "police radio" or car-phone.
    That's why she asks to use Bill's phone before he starts running - because the only alternative would be for Clarice to run back to her car, drive away, and try to find another home/store/gas station with a phone she could safely use. And she knew that by the time she did all that, Catherine would be dead and Bill would've fled the premises, destroying the one lead she had to find him.

    I was fortunate enough to attend a special screening of "Silence of the Lambs" hosted by Jonathan Demme and legendary film critic Pauline Kael. As the ending shot went on... and on... and on, Kael jokingly asked Demme if he forgot to call "Cut!" Demme sheepishly admitted that he didn't know how to end the shot, so he just let the camera roll.

    Great reaction. Those strange looks and stares we kept seeing from men were intentional. We are meant to be seeing events directly from Clarice’s eyes, a petite woman looking up into the gazes of all of these potential predators. Every flipping man hitting on her, undressing her with his eyes. Women are taught to be on guard 24/7 against assailants, and this film gives you a glimpse into how that might feel.

      @@natsinthebelfry I've read the book a few times and Barney is the only one who treats Lecter with respect so Lecter also respects him. When he gets transferred he thanks Barney for treating him as a human being. Of course, also Barney was kinda the only one who never forgot how dangerous Lecter was and always kept his guard. That's why Lecter couldn't get away before Chilton forgot his pen in his cell.
      Also, the entomologist was really just honestly nice and Clarice liked him in the novel

      Well Hannibal Lecter is the son of Lithunian count so he has manners. First movie: Hannibal Rising tells about his chilhood durin WWII. How Nazis murder his parents and later his sister gets eaten by Soviets. Second movie: The Red Dragon. Third movie: Silent of Lambs. Fourth movie: Hannibal. Clarisse remains Hannibal of his late little sister.

  • @whoiswren

    This is in my opinion, one of the top three movies of ALL TIME. It won the big five at the oscars, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Picture, and Best Screenplay. Phenomenal work of art with amazingly complex characters and Jodie's portrayal of Clarice is something we will never see again - Clarice Starling is a very complex and relatable character who isn't overpowered, impossibly strong for her size- but rather an intelligent individual who is relentlessly embracing her femininity. Through her pure intentions and authenticity, Jodie's character became a symbol of divine power motivated by pure desires to save weaker individuals in her world. Despite the fact she will never be as physically strong as the men who tower over her, she preservers because she sees saving other innocent lives as a parallel to saving the lambs. The whole point Jodie was trying to make was that in the past, since women didn't have the strength or "heroism" that could compare to men, Hollywood often resorts to crafting lazy, unrealistic female heroines (i.e marvel women) who possess unfathomable qualities and don't come across as relatable at all. Besides this, often the only redeeming quality of women's characters in film is their attractiveness, or their relevance is limited to being as the love intrest to their male costars. The Silence of the Lambs changed that when Clarice Starling appeared on screen. The producers took the time to flesh out Jodie's character, Clarice, thereby allowing this talented actress to portray an authentic female role who embodies the characteristics of someone motivated by a well-developed moral compass rather than such trivial, one-dimensional(a relief for audiences). She is then juxtaposed against her male colleagues, almost all of whom are motivated purely by advancement rather than the cause itself.

  • @lordwalker71
    @lordwalker71 2 роки тому +24

    The story was inspired by the time the FBI asked Ted Bundy to create a profile for the green river killer and when they finally caught him they realized that Bundys profile was pretty accurate. The scene where Buffalo bill kidnaps Catherine is also inspired by Bundy who would pretend to have a broken arm and act like he was struggling to get something in his car so the woman he wanted would help him and he would hit her over the head and push her in his car.
    The character of Buffalo Bill is inspired by a few serial killers including Ed Gein who besides killing a few people would also steal recently buried bodies and use their body parts to make things like a lampshade and a pair of gloves made from human skin and furniture made from bones and skulls.
    I recently found out that the actors who played Buffalo Bill and Catherine actually dated during the filming of the movie.
    The guy you thought was papa from stranger things was not him, Matthew Modine played papa.

    3. Lt. Boyle also played "Murdock I'm commin' to get you". Rambo II
    4. Ted Levine got death threats for the performance he did playing Buffalo Bill.
    5. The FBI actually let them use Quantico.
    6. The lisping following "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." was ad lib
    to see if she would freak out. It was the first scene they did together and it worked.
    7. Hannibal was treating Clairice.
    8. Catherine didn't hurt the dog. She just told him she did.

    Great eye, bro.

I think they did it as sort of an easter egg for people who had already seen it. Love your speculations. This is what movie reactions are all about for me. Also, I have to admit I laughed at that kid on his bike. I just never noticed before.

    Like someone else said, the weird looks the men all seemed to give her was to drive home the feeling she was alone and vulnerable. Another thing to keep in mind, at this point it was still pretty rare for a woman to be in law enforcement beyond being a meter maid or working a desk, and even more rare for a woman to be an FBI field agent. This is all happening right about the time that particular glass ceiling is being broken, and agent Starling is probably one of the only ones many of these men have seen.

Clarice Starling walks up to Lechter's cell and I am stunned. Standing there, he exudes Menace, views people as potential prey, doesn't blink his "dead shark eyes," and gets into Clarice Starling's head toot suite.

    I was 16 when I first saw the movie at the theatre; when it just won the Oscars for Best Picture, Best Actor [Hopkins] and Best Actress [Foster]. So I thought I'd check the movie out and see what the hype was all about. And boy, they were right. The moment I walked out of the theatre it was raining and my legs felt weak and feeble. I really thought the killer was after me. It was scary back then.

    The tv series is outstanding too, Mads Mikkelsen plays Hannibal perfectly. At the beginning of the tv series Dr. Lecter is still free and a well respected, practicing psychiatrist - who sometimes helps the FBI with cases. Unbeknownst to the authorities, he is the serial killer they are seeking, dubbed 'The Chesapeake Ripper' by the press.

    Fun fact, the closeups on Clarice and Hannibal during their conversations are intentionally unsettling. Director Jonathan Demme had the actors look directly into camera, breaking the fourth wall, so it would feel like they’re staring at you. Hopkins exaggerated his eye contact for this reason.
    Also Jodie Foster actually filmed the night vision scene in pitch black darkness. Her falls are genuine.
    They don’t make ‘‘em like this anymore. Fantastic movie.

    Also there is Hannibal Rising which is about young Hannibal Lecter and the reason behind his actions. :-)
