    The Silence of the Lambs is a 1991 American psychological horror film[3][4] directed by Jonathan Demme and written by Ted Tally, adapted from Thomas Harris's 1988 novel. It stars Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling, a young FBI trainee who is hunting a serial killer named "Buffalo Bill" (Ted Levine), who skins his female victims. To catch him, she seeks the advice of the imprisoned Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer. The film also features performances from Scott Glenn, Anthony Heald, and Kasi Lemmons.[5]
    The Silence of the Lambs was released on February 14, 1991, and grossed $272.7 million worldwide on a $19 million budget, becoming the fifth-highest-grossing film of 1991 worldwide. It premiered at the 41st Berlin International Film Festival, where it competed for the Golden Bear, while Demme received the Silver Bear for Best Director. It became the third and most recent film (the other two being 1934's It Happened One Night and 1975's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) to win Academy Awards in all the major five categories: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay. It is the only horror film to win Best Picture.
    The Silence of the Lambs is regularly cited by critics, film directors, and audiences as one of the greatest and most influential films. In 2018, Empire ranked it 48th on their list of the 500 greatest movies of all time.[6] The American Film Institute ranked it the fifth-greatest and most influential thriller film, while Starling and Lecter were ranked among the greatest film heroines and villains. The film is considered "culturally, historically, or aesthetically" significant by the U.S. Library of Congress and was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry in 2011.[7] A sequel, Hannibal, was released in 2001, followed by two prequel films, Red Dragon (2002) and Hannibal Rising (2007).

    In the theatre, the slamming of the exchange drawer in Lecter's cell echoed like thunder; made me jump, every time. The producers purposefully cast Jodie Foster against tall male actors to enhance her appearance to make her look more out-of-place.

    "Ready when you are, Sgt. Pembry", as he opens the stolen pocketknife - you were so right to pick up on the face steal! Hannibal knew their protocol, he knew the only way out of the 10-block roadblock is that ambulance, wearing Jim Pembry's face. Smart. Brutal.

    Jodie Foster is only about 5' 3" ... so fairly petite.
    "Silence of the Lambs" is such classic. It changed film, TV, and culture. There had been various features on serial killers before, but this is where that idea really took off in terms of fictional representations. It was the depiction of Hannibal that did it. If you're wanting to see films of a similar quality to this, try "Tombstone." Yes, it's a cowboy movie, and not a suspense / thriller, but it's a top movie, just like this one. It's based on a true story, and it stays close to the historical record. Everybody does a reaction to it, but it's one of those great films.

    There's an interview with Jodie Foster (Goddess) she's asked what was Anthony Hopkins like? She responds, she has no idea, when asked why, she states that she went nowhere near him behind the scenes because he terrified her, as in he portrayed the character so well that it just bled through into real life and completely unnerved her!!! LMAO!!! That's some incredible acting!!!!!!! Sir Anthony Hopkins received the Academy Award, the "Oscar" for having like a total of 7 minutes of screen time or something near that, he was just amazing, a real treasure!!!!!!!

I tried to read the book after watching the movie, but couldn't finish it. Two fascinating characters, brilliantly played. The sequels, "Hannibal" and "Red Dragon" are also worth a read and/or watch.

    Definitely should do a reaction to all three of the other films; Hannibal, Red Dragon, and Hannibal Rising, in that order. I think all the films are equally good in their own way, I don't think any are better than any other ones. Hannibal explores a little more of his and Clarice's dynamic. Red Dragon is a prequel as other comments have mentioned. Hannibal Rising is the prequel prequel - the beginning of Hannibal and most people will say it's not as good or they don't like it - usually because it's so removed from how we understand Hannibal. I think though nowadays, with how we've really started to accept the validity of different interpretations, and allowing someone to make the character their own, that you'll really like Hannibal Rising. Gaspard Ulliel, a French actor who just passed away last year plays the young Hannibal, and if you can accept that it's his own vision and his own take on the character, he does a pretty damn good job portraying the origin of the monster that is Hannibal The Cannibal.

  • @whoiswren
    @whoiswren Рік тому +4

    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.

    Her witnessing lambs being killed CAN be pretty traumatic for a little girl who's father just died and has never seen animals slaughtered before. She didn't live on the ranch before so she likely never saw anything like that at all. Riding so close on the heels of seeing her father dead in the coffin was probably far too much for her to handle at that age.
    Unfortunately most Americans tend to shield their children from that kind of thing. Most of the kids I knew when I was a kid didn't fully even register where the meat they were eating even came from and that was back in the 70's and 80's. But I spent time on a farm as a child. When they slaughtered the chickens in the Autumn to freeze the meat for winter, it was the job of the children to run around and catch the headless bodies once the heads had been cut off. Which in retrospect should have been absolutely horrifying to me but it was just how it was and where we got our food when we stayed there lol.

    To your question at the beginning, Jodie Foster was a bigger name than Anthony Hopkins when the movie came out. She had already won an oscar and was the starring lead in the film, whereas Hopkins was merely in a supporting role with around 18 minutes of screen time. Obviously though he gave a career defining performance that won him his own oscar and and made him super famous.

      To avoid controversy they will list actors in the credits according to when they appear in the film. In this case you're right she was more famous and is actually the lead despite that Hopkins went on to become more famous but if you watch the closing credits you see they're listed by the order of their appearance in the movie.

    The second film Red Dragon is a remake of the 1986 film Manhunter, which is the first film with Hannibal Lecter and Brian Cox from the show Succession played Hannibal Lecter in it, and William Petersen from the show CSI played Will Graham who is the guy who caught Lecter. Manhunter is definitely a film of it's time (1980's) and hasn't aged as well as Silence of the Lambs but is definitely worth checking out.

    Since you mentioned at the end that you don't really know enough about cinematography to comment on this film in that regard:
    Actually, Silence of The Lambs is an _excellent_ example of a film that shows you just how big an impact good cinematographic choices can make. Part of what make this film really get under your skin is how the camera was used. For example, almost all the interviews and one-on-one conversations were shot very unconventionally, with actors looking directly into the camera. This positions you as the viewer right inside the conversation, making you feel like you're being spoken to directly. And as the characters and story start to get into darker and darker territory, this starts to really creep you out much more than if it had been shot in a more conventional way.
    Also, notice that in pretty much all the shots where we see Agent Starling surrounded by men, the camera is always peering down on her. It makes her look even smaller, and helps give the audience a visceral sense of what it feels like to be vulnerable to physically larger and stronger people around you. In the context of a story about a serial killer specifically targeting women, this is really effective. By the time you get to those last scenes where the killer is literally stalking Starling in the pitch black dark, all of the clever camera angles used up to this point really pay off in making you feel absolutely terrified at how powerless she seems in that moment.
    This movie is really a masterpiece in terms of how they used the camera and perspective. Not at all just to be stylish or arty, but to intelligently enhance the storytelling. If you ever rewatch it (I bet you will), keep an eye out for these details!
    New sub here btw. :)

    There is a correct order, so watch these. Dressed to Kill by the great Brian DePalma! U will see many of the themes in this movie, in Dressed. There's also a almost missable mention of Lector, as a footnote on a brilliant pyschiatrist who figures out a problem with a person, near the end of the movie. Next is Manhunter, by the genius Micheal Mann! It's look sound camera work music, all very 80s! Also it stars my favorite Lector! Many of the actors from Manhunter, also in this. Then u have this movie, then Hannibal which is by Ridley Scott and Gary Oldman should have won an Oscar for his part! Last is Red Dragon but u can skip that one, it's more of a Manhunter reboot, but it does say at the end, how he meets Clarice! Another irony here is, the guy who plays buffalo Bill and the guy who plays The Tooth Fairy, are both in Micheal Mann movie, Heat! and Barney is in this, Manhunter, and Hannibal!Also if u watch Clerks and Clerks 2, Jay does a perfect cover of Buffalo Bill! Also he add-libbed his analysis of her being west Virginia, poor white trash, etc. And it was also their first scene together. He said he completely avoided her, before their first scene. She said he truly terrified her! The reason he likes her is because he trusts her, and also she's a real person with real psychological problems, nothing like his normal rich city folk patients. She has no duality or gile, about her.

    Small point about the sizes they mention. In recent decades clothing companies have been changing what it means to be a certain size. For instance a size 12 in 2001 was between 28-30 inch waist, in 2011 it was 32 inch. So a size 14 back when this was made was actually a lot larger than what a size 14 today would be.

    This movie has a brilliant subtext about how men treat women. Throughout the movie Clarice is show as physically smaller than the men who tower over her, leer at her, makes passes at her, treat her like an inferior, and don't take her seriously -- like they are predators and she is prey. This is accentuated by the way the director has the men stare directly into the camera whenever they talk to her. The only man in the movie who judges her by her intellect rather than her gender is Hannibal Lecter -- the actual predator

    • @noodle_fc
      @noodle_fc Рік тому +13

      You don't think Crawford respects her intellect? Granted, he selected Clarice as someone to whom Lecter would respond favorably, but that by itself wouldn't have been enough. He was impressed by her in their previous interactions, and academy instructors spoke favorably about her.
      Her role could have been limited only to her dealings with Lecter, but it wasn't. Once she's onboard she's a full member of the investigation. Her ideas are valued. Crawford even solicits her opinion on his own behavior. Final confrontation with Bill happens because Starling-a trainee-is doing _solo fieldwork._
      Obviously you make a good point. I would amend it to say the movie contrasts a variety of male characters' interactions with Starling.

    The stuff under they put under the nose is basically Vick's Vapor Rub (although they make dedicated products for that specialized use now). If they don't have it where you live it contains a lot of Menthol and has a strong menthol smell. Enough it kind of stings when you inhale.

    This was great. The close ups in this film are so intense. The director Jonathan Demme got a lot of criticism back in the day how Buffalo Bill was depicted being a trans character. His next film was Philadelphia which centres around AIDS and a lgbtq character. I’m glad Josie Foster didn’t reprise her role that went to Julianne Moore who is great but the film not so. Julianne also has Scottish ancestry. :)

    Idk why the sequel “Hannibal” gets so much hate, but it would be awesome to see you react to it. I honestly think people don’t like it because they thought it would be as good as this one. High expectations I guess.

    I had to hit the like and the subscribe buttons. I found it a true pleasure to watch you 2 interact as you discovered the movie together. You say you are new to this so here is a piece of advice -> Not every movie is going to be a great movie so don't let it get you down. I know it sounds rather obvious but you would be amazed at how many reactors think that all the movies should be "great movies". Keep up the good work I look forward to the next episode.

  • @christhornycroft3686

    Silence of the Lambs really demonstrates that a horror movie can be scarier if you DON’T show everything. They do such a great job with words and performances building Hannibal up even before we meet him. Too many horror movies emphasize the gore. This is measured. When they show something, it leaves an impact. Red Dragon is an excellent prequel to this. Hannibal (the movie) isn’t a good sequel because everything is on the nose. No subtlety. Here, they don’t come right out and tell you that guys look down on her. But you can sense it. Everyone’s staring at her. It’s never implicitly said though. I like that. The storytelling is great.

  • @flibber123
    @flibber123 Рік тому +4

    The first adaptation of Red Dragon was made in the '80s and it's called Manhunter. I think it's very good BUT it's definitely an '80s movie and it is nothing like Silence of the Lambs. So if you prefer the Silence approach, the movie version of the first story called Red Dragon is the one you want to see. Hannibal, the movie, has a different Clarice. In my opinion it's not quite as good as Manhunt4er or Silence, but it's still watchable.

    • @louismarzullo1190

    You can catch it in this film and it's somewhat subtle, but Hannibal was basically courting Clarice throughout and they're both attracted to one another. The scene where she talks to him in that cage and just before Chilton has her dragged away and Hannibal rubs his finger against hers is intimate and it's almost like they're both desperately trying to hold onto each other like lovers being separated. To be fair, It's a bit more obvious in the book that there's an intellectual but also romantic/sexual interest that goes both ways.

      @@dahveed72 They simply toned it down for the film for obvious reasons. There are quite a few subtle moments in the film if you pay attention.
      They slowly build a rapport and there is an emotional and romantic connection they share.
