- 1991's The Silence of the Lambs is almost 30 years old, but it’s still as shocking and provocative as it was when it was first released. Anthony Hopkins's performance as the brilliant psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer Hannibal Lecter created one of the most iconic movie monsters in cinema history.
The movie was a commercial and critical success and garnered numerous accolades, and is still the only horror movie ever to win an Academy Award for Best Picture.
If you are ever in need of a great thriller for a movie night, The Silence of the Lambs should be your go-to. It’s the crème de la crème of psychological horrors. There's still a lot to say about it, so here is its untold truth.

Is Silence of the Lambs the creepiest movie ever made?
The series is going to be added to netflix this month
Of course it’s creepy he eats people. At least that’s what I heard
you right !
I have a Hannibal Lecter marathon every October and on Thanksgiving. But I'm still not certain if it's the creepiest. Definitely one of the top three.
@@samaelcain what is the other two ?
Ted Levine’s character was horrifying. Even when I heard his voice, years later, when he played other characters, I was haunted. I couldn’t get past it. That’s how amazing Ted was in that role.
He's one of those fantastic character actors that never get enough credit. He is truly great in everything he is in, no matter how small the role.
After seeing him in Monk for so long it's jarring to go back as see him as Gumb.
His voice in joyride with Paul walker and Steve zahn .. the trucker psycho only has his voice... No cameo.. but he has a thrilling voice.. that movie scared my brothers to death when we were kids
Anthony Hopkins was then known as a distinguished gentleman, composed and scholarly. His turn as a cannibal serial killer was a complete turn against the types he played previously. The brilliance of his performance was the gentlemanly manner he brought to this performance. It was Excellent.
Yeah. Demme said he wanted him for the role after seeing his turn as Dr Treves. When Hopkins said "but Treves is a very good man", Demme replied "yes, that's what I want for Lecter - he's a good man locked inside this insane mind."
Belive it or not Hopkins based his character of Lecter on a real person (Robert Mordsley) even down to the basement cell made of bullet proof glass and the dislike for rude people.
This role also saved Hopkins career. He said in an interview that he was thinking about retiring. He had moved back to England, because rolls were drying up and he never really made it as anything other than secondary actor. His last big movie was 10 years earlier in "the Bounty". (Great performance). But he was in his 50's, by the time he played Hannibal. And unless your a star in Hollywood, by that time, you were probably done.
Distinguished gentleman , composed and scholarly. I think that sums up half of Hannibal’s personality to a T. Nothing is worse than discourtesy.
TheRealViscera ever seen Magic?
The part with buffalo bill dancing in the robe with his peen tucked between his thighs is literally the most chilling, psychotic, yet hilarious thing ever 😭
Sir Anthony Hopkins:
16 mins of screen time=1 academy award
Baller!
24 mins*
Still qualifies....BALLER
Ricky Blakely go into Google and type:
“16 minutes anthony hopkins” you will get your answer.
@@senate_shakya_ IMDb says his performance was 24 minutes and 52 seconds
True, but we'll never forget those 16!😻
One of the best psychological thrillers! We dont get movies like this anymore
Agreed, they don't make movies like this anymore
I love it. But it wouldn’t be made today, sadly; it’d be deemed damaging to the trans rights movement.
yeah the (se/pre)quel didnt even hold up... :(
@@levoxsixty-nine6843 if they kept the discussion of the book about how he das not trans, it could be very helpful.
To be fair, films of this top calibre have always been a rare thing. But I'd argue that 2018's Hereditary can be counted among them. And even before Silence of the Lambs and Goodfellas, The Shining was probably the last top tier film (Though, admittedly, I haven't seen Blue Velvet from 1986). Then there's the first Godfather in 1971, Vertigo in 58, Rear Window in 54, Casablanca in 42, and Citizen Kane (actually not one of my favourites) in 41. I think Rebecca in 1940 was also a great film, and IMO was probably more influential in terms of plotting and pacing than any other film in history. The 1930s had A LOT of advancement (like films in 1931 are more different than those in 1939 than 1940s films are from 1970s films), I don't have enough knowledge to dig through all the key features.
I saw that at the theater when it came out. It was one of those rare movies that left you awe-struck. We’re getting less and less of those these days.
Yeah. Too much superhero movies.
I agree. Just watch single white female thinking we dont get good stories anymore all cgi
@@iamshadowbanned699 wrong genre my dude. I'd say it's too many horror films filled with jumpscares and cgi demon faces. It should be creeping tension and hinted at horrors and concepts that keep us up at night, not sudden loud bangs and yet another little girl getting possessed by something.
The movie came out about a year before I was born so I didnt have the privilege of seeing it in theaters but it was a childhood staple. My mother took a keen interest in people like Albert Fish so cannibalism always intrigued her. So we watched it a lot growing up although it isn't kid friendly and it's too much of an abstract concept for a child to grasp.
But the reason we dont get that same feeling from movies today is due to the lack of unoriginal ideas. As time progresses, it's harder to come up with something new. This is why movies that are the "first of its kind" are so popular. For example Saw and Paranormal Activity/ Blair Witch Project.
But then when you see a "traditional" idea that is developed into something different like Cabin in the Woods, you renew that idea of movies being able to give off that WOW factor.
I'm so tired of the same thing. I like creativity. I loved Quiet Place because it was so different. I want my socks blown off in the theaters
Joker is the very movie that was that for me.
I'll never forget the moment in the theater when it dawned on everyone she was at the right house. I'm not sure if there is a sound of everyone wanting to hide under their seats but EVERYONE wanted to at that exact moment and you could just feel it throughout the entire theater.Good times.
Yes!
@Stephanie Logan I was in the front row when The Crying Game happened to me. 😖 🥒 x 30'. It was still 1,000% better than what The Happening, did to me- which I watched PPV. Sometimes cinema has issues but it's still one hell of a war story for those who live through it.
@Stephanie Logan It's like Deadpool 2. Amid everything else going on, & Wade getting ripped apart, you have never experienced a happier crowd leaving an R rated movie- guaranteed! No one left that theater feeling upset. It was a beautiful American experience. Everyone left cheerfully smiling, everything else in the world was forgotten for that time. These are the times I think we like to remember most, when we're together, together watching the same thing and loving it even if it's disturbing. I hope movies aren't finished post-wuflu.
Then the moment of recognition when she spotted the moth - chills....
Its one of the few movies that gets me to sit at the edge of my seat no matter how many times I watch it.
There's no way that Silence of the Lambs is a horror movie. It's a psychological thriller.
Jeff Beck how could that guy next to him swallowed his tongue 👅 after he said it🤷🏼♂️
Thank you! (I have the same thought every time I hear it referred to as horror. At most, it's psychological suspense with horror undertones.)
It's not a bloody horror movie...
Agreed. Psych thriller.
I know, eh‼️ I love, love, love that horror movie 😂😂‼️
I happened to be at a book store very the day Silence of the Lambs first arrived and, having read Red Dragon, I immediately bought it, reading it twice quite quickly. I wrote a complimentary note to Thomas Harris (care of the publisher), and a couple of months later received an extremely cordial hand-written letter from him, thanking me. Among other things, he advised that Red Dragon took three years to write, and Silence took five. That's a lot of reasearch and wordsmithing.
Ted Levine is one hell of an actor. He was absolutely great as Starbuck in the TV-movie remake.
I know Hannibal gets all the love and rightfully so, ur buffalo bill honestly was the creepiest killer I’ve ever seen in a mainstream movie. Just how subtle he is that final scene where she goes to His house your Stomach must Turn knowing who he is, that guy did such a good job he didn’t go over the top either. Even in the lotion on the skin scene he still didn’t go that over the top..look at how he said everything so precise...chilling
I meant but* buffalo bill not ur*
He played a police captain in that Monk TV series for years
nationofmillions he was also in Shutter Island.
The "Buffalo Bill dance was impromptu" gave me chiiiiiilllls.
Ted Levine is a magnificent, irreplaceable piece of this film.
Truly amazing acting.
I suggest reading the book. Gives much more backstory and details to Gumb's motivation and inspiration. And his final words in the novel, will make you wish they used it in the movie.
Gene Hackman is one of the finest film actors of all time but I cannot imagine even he could have done as good a job as Anthony Hopkins.
Agreed. No one else but Anthony Hopkins owns this role.
@Lord Brain Oh man! You're so right. I didn't think about Peter O'Toole.
@Lord Brain I was 16 when I first watched Lawrence of Arabia. I didn't think his acting was particularly great. I watched the movie the 2nd time in my early 30s, my perspective of his acting has ever been changed since.
No Hopkins has that voice that no one else has and the way he can speak as to draw out the drama and suspense no other has
Brian Cox was good as Hannibal in Manhunter, but not as great as Hopkins.
Imagine if the movie had just been nothing but a lot of footage of some really quiet lambs
Now that's spooky. 🐑🐑🐑
HAHAHAHA
The remake
Scary

"Billy is not a real transsexual, but he thinks he is. He tries to be."
It literally says it right in the movie. As someone in the LGBTQ+ community, it baffles me how people will sometimes try to make issues over nothing. He was not transsexual, he was disturbed and insane.
Edit: I'm talking psychology, not politics. Please try to stay on topic rather than bashing people for their political preferences. The whole point of my comment is the fact that people make issues over nothing, and here you are making issues over nothing.
Ashley Spratlin exactly. Big big difference.
I agree
As far as I can remember Clarice even states that transsexuals aren't known to be violent right before that exact quote, and that a transsexual wouldn't fit the profile for that reason.
In the book it goes into details about why people might be denied the surgery and that is one of the main leads he gives Clarice
It's traditional with the Mainstream Media and Champagne Liberals to pretend to be Shocked at something and then Champion the poor and helpless(talk about condescending)
Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster made this movie what it is 🥰
Don't forget Ted Levine!
I hope that’s a joke, as the name it was mentioned at the start. Absolute classic
BUFFALO BILL
What would have made it better was letting Hannibal give Chilton what he so richly deserved.
Honestly, I would have been very happy to have seen Clarice Starling played by Laura Dern
Demme said he knew Jodie Foster was the right one for the part when she came to see him in person and "I saw this determined little figure striding up the corridor toward me". She really is an amazing presence; strong, brave and determined, but with an underlying vulnerability.
Background information like this creates a greater appreciation for how the casting worked out. Anthony Hopkins is by far the most intriguing of villains in cinematic history. Secondly, a huge commendation to the actor Ted Levine. He suffered through many years of "black listing," if you will, after he portrayed Buffalo Bill. No one will ever forget him in this role no matter what roles follow. Very, very brave actor.
LaGuan Hayes Ted Levine has had all kinds of roles over the past 30 years.
Oh, wait... Is she a great big fat person?
I think she was a size 14. That was the size he was looking for. So she's not a thin person, but far from an obese person.
To some peeps, if you aren't skin and bone... you're 'Fat'... 🙄🤷♂️
"She rubs the lotion on her skin! She does this whenever she's told!"
@@pinkfreud62 Oh pinky, that response is just morbidly obese...
This was made in the 90’s...people weren’t as big back then. Now a days being overweight is considered normal. Size 14 IS big. Although today it’s not considered big because it’s become the new normal.
I had such an obsession with this movie I ended up reading all the books. Definitely recommend them! Also Sir Anthony Hopkins is such a great guy
I ordered all 4 books, because this is one of my favourites.
Anthony Hopkins is a marvelous actor. Ted Levine was truly amazing in this movie. I saw the movie once, and that was enough for me. It’s spectacular and very scary.
Oh how glad are we all Anthony Hopkins got that roll!!!! 💯
I am so glad he got the roll!
How far did he roll?
Was it white, wheat or cinnamon raisin?
But what would the movie be with a different Buffalo Bill? The weiner tuck dance is what makes the whole movie
Spring roll or egg roll?
I'm surprised they didn't mention how terrified Jodie Foster was of Anthony Hopkins during filming. She only saw him when filming, and was genuinely really frightened by his performance, to the point where she couldn't look at him, and would still avoid him afterwards. She's said so in interviews. Says a lot about Hopkins' convincing performance!
He has piercing eyes 👀
There WAS NO other Clarice but Jody Foster. The sequels were really not good.
Pamela Wing yeah, this is the only one that’s good. “Hannibal” is terrible. I’m not a fan of Julianne Moore.
but red dragon was good
MontcomHorror I like the actress very very much, and she portrayed a 'stressed-out' FBI agent extremely well, but what insulted me the most was that they actually attempted to pass her off AS Clarice Starling...literally shoved that down our throats whether anyone like it or not, when they could've simply wrote her in as ANOTHER FBI agent...possibly a 'protege' of Clarice after she was 'booted off the case' or something similar. I use the example of the two 'Bosleys' casted between Charlies Angels 1 & 2...clearly Bill Murray avoided the sequel due to 'creative differences' between himself and Lucy Liu, so when the other actor was cast, they made sure to explain to US that 'Bosley' was'nt a person, but rather the JOB DESCRIPTION of whoever is hired to intercede between Charlie & his Angels. A real shame a similar story-device was'nt used for the sequel to SOTL. Given his unquestioned mastery of filmaking, one would think Ridley Scott would've tried harder in this respect, given Jodie Foster's inability to commit to 'Hannibal'.
@@sjames5694 I think Jodie didn't WANT to do it because of the script and the story line. It's been many years but I believe she refused the offer.
I'm glad because I never could believe that Clarice would become how she was portrayed in the second movie. JMHO
Pamela Wing She's been through alot in her life, and I'm willing to bet her next Oscar that "there's NO way in HELL" she would've allowed herself to be picked-up & carried in Sir. Hopkins' arms, the way Julienne Moore (clearly) had ZERO problems with. Yeah, Miss. Foster is'nt 'comfortable w/creepy'...lol...and who can blame her ? Honestly, she excells in 'touchy-feely' roles...'The Beaver' totally blew me away...especially how she backs Mel Gibson 210%...so that says something for her not just as an actor, director AND producer...but as a HUMAN BEING. Truly...I think it WOULD be 'quite something to know her in private'....lol
I didn't realise Jodi Foster won an Oscar for The Accused. That film haunted my thoughts for months afterwards.
Sean Connery as Hannibal Lecter would have been HILARIOUSSSSSHHH
😂😂🤣😂😂
“Hmmmmm... That is very scccchlippery of you, Agent Sccchtarling.” Nope. Doesn’t work for me, either 😆
Tell Me Clarishhhh, what did Migshhh shhhay to you?
Shaken but not stirred.
It just would not have worked. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I didn’t realize until years after this came out that Buffalo Bill is Captain Stottlemire. I can’t watch Monk the same way anymore.
Ted Levine. His best role was playing Mickey Rourke's brother Louis in Bullet. Also had Tupac in it as the bad guy.
I was never into Monk. One day it was on TV in the background and I heard Levine's voice. I shuddered.
Same reason I can't hear Goodbye Horses without needing a shower afterwards. Makes me feel dirty.
I first heard him as the voice of the trucker that went by Rusty Nail in Joy Ride ... "Candycane ..." in theaters. That was the most memorable thing about that movie I remember.
He also played Casino gangster Frank Holman in the tv-series "Crime Story (1986-1988)"
Ted Levine with mustache =good guy character without mustache =villain character 😎😁🤔😉 he is a versatile actor!
the scene when Hannibal escapes the cage by "wearing" the guard
was filmed at the Russian Tea Room in the top of the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial
on the campus of The U of Pgh.
Amazing to see the difference in colors and what lighting can achieve.
Clarisse running through the woods in the beginning of the movie was filmed on the
island at North Park Lake, just north of Pgh.
In high school this was my hood and enjoyed seeing it made.
“Are You About A Size 14?!?

@@1Skorpia By the way, love your suit!!
are you hitting on me professor ?
Ted Levine is a genius actor. Great in every role. They really don't make movies or actors this great anymore. Hopefully this generation of actors will get more serious about their craft.
I'm so glad they redid the ending. It would be a lot more cliched and easy to leave us with that kind of a jolt. It also feels more natural and better for me that Clarease is left with this mix of foreboding and respect for Lector that she's been building for the entire film that both unites them and puts them at odds, creating this bitter-sweet creep factor at this point of achievement in her career. It would feel like a really mean slam to the unique story and bond we have with her as a character-- and to women's representation in crime movies in general-- to have this tired plot devise dropped in where, if the main character we're identifying with a tough woman who's trying to hold it all together, the parting shot is that she is entirely a victim after all. If we're now supposed to believe she was being messed with all along and he ultimately has no moral nuance as a monster, why not just watch literally any other much less thoughtful crime/horror/thriller movie?! Luckily we get a this ending where he's messing with her, like he messes with everybody, but there's complex morality going on, which is alway going to be both good and hard for her to live with. So. Much. Smarter.
Can you imagine the celluloid train wreck we'd have if they had cast Sean Connery & Meg Ryan instead ?
Bargain bin material
Once Sean got his false teeth all I can hear is his lisp lol 😝
@@kllwc7772 "Hello ....Claricesh".
digglyda 🤣😂You just made me spit out my coffee and ugly laugh 😂
train wreck
4:58 Buffalo Bill is the example of a broken man who resorts to such a strong difference. It doesn’t mean people who choose to be like that are serial killers or whatever, it’s what a serial killer obsesses over and strives for.
Best part of the movie is when Catherine is singing Tom Petty in the car right before she gets captured by Buffalo Bill. It's one of those scenes where when you watch the movie again you are like, there she goes, singing and enjoying a classic in her car and you want to yell out, "Hey you, RUN, RUN, go the other way. Lookout for the bad guy!" Yet she has no idea what she is up against in a few moments. "After all it was a great big world..."
I've never since been able to hear American Girl without thinking of that scene...
I got to watch this movie when i was 14 years old. This movie made me expect more from film.
The movie has everything you could ever ask for from a psychological thriller. Damn near perfect!
@@salem9631 Know which psychological thriller is even better from that genre (imho), (also) starring Anthony Hopkins, with Ryan Gosling? It's called Fracture.
@@22ergie
Seven is also a favourite.
@@salem9631 Absolutely agree! Psycho Thriller all the way!
Bring back Mads Mikkelsen for the fourth chapter of Hannibal already.
No Name periodt
I can't see anyone else as Hannibal now. Mads was perfection in the role.
FACTS
Wow, I'm glad they didn't go with that alternate ending.
Wow, I've seen this movie hundreds of times - with commentary tracks - but didn't know any of this. Great stuff!!
Hannibal, the sequel movie, is a far cry from Silence, but offers quite a few shocks to keep you interested. Demme gave the world his best and I feel the same is sort of true of Scott, Hannibals director. Its a shame it finished the way it does.
Yeah it wasn't the best but the pigs really freaked me out, and that one scene toward the end during the drugged up dinner, yknow the one, had me feeling a bit faint. If only it hadn't pushed for a weird pseudo-romance.
@@BoxOKittens Gary Oldman, his startling appearance, the explanation of why he was so disfigured and the pigs really take Hannibal to places I wasn't ready for. The Ray Liotta dinner scene is icing on the whole cake.
It'd be hard for a series to get Claresse right, but I hope it does. She struggles in a way that feels very real to me -- which isn't always the way either with "strong woman" female detective police characters or women in these movies in general. She isn't a man in a woman's body with every skill ever, but she isn't just there to remind us how vulnerable even the best woman is. We also don't see her subplot revolving around children and romantic interests, which makes more sense to me for a character as driven as her. What's great about that appraoch to her is it doesn't drag our emotions around cheaply. We like her because she's exploring and grappling with things emotionally and intellectually alongside us, not just tieing sensationalistic plot points together being dangled arround for cliff-hangers. Tough stuff for TV to do justice to, but I hope they manage.
Hands down Rutger Hauer could have played that role too
Yup. Totally agree on that one.👍
I’ would never forget Hitchhiker with Rutger Hauer, he scared me for life. Masterpiece!
@@ginaalek6151 As a teenager I watched that movie about 50 times
@@randallpetroelje3913 ty!
@ItsStillRealToMe DamnIt I love anthony hopkins, and it's hard to see anyone else in that role. I just happen to think he could have played it quite well too
Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter is a joy to watch. He’s so intense, intelligent and calm! I thought I would never like another actor as Hannibal Lecter...until I saw Mads Mikkelsen. He’s not as good as Hopkins, but is still absolutely marvelous in the series. Sich a pity there is no season 4...instead they’re making a new series...makes me kind of angry:(
I LOVE Mads he was perfect for the TV role
The Chops is a great movie, but Manhunter deserves so much more love than it gets.
Brian Cox as Lecter was scarier in a way, in that very clinical white cell. Scarier because he was 'normal' compared to the dungeon master that Hopkins plays, and the way he gets into Will's head, or has remained in his head all that time. He's so damnably manipulative.
Will Graham WAS smarter than Hannibal. In Red Dragon (the book), Graham solved the search for the killer without any real assistance from Hannibal..... he had only visited Hannibal to "get the scent back." The movie Red Dragon constituted exploitation of Hannibal's popularity as a character, expanding his film presence beyond what he'd been in the book.
I went to see John Douglas speak and he talked about consulting on the set.
"It rubs lotion on its skin " 🤲🤣😂
I really liked the television version...so artful.
I once played Goodbye Horses for my ex girlfriend and she hated it. She was a size 14

@@HeartWorX.Creations Yes it is.
I'm 28 born in 91 dam this films almost 30 years old and it's still a dam good film
My first semester in college, I used to listen to the soundtrack for "Silence of the Lambs" on repeat while i slept at night (often in our communal living room).
This was at a Mormon college in the middle of the desert in Idaho, and i had 5 very nice Mormon girl roommates who thought i needed counselling so much that they sat me down for basically an 'intervention' (but in 1994) to discuss the music's effect on my spiritual well-being... and maybe their own nightmares. Ooops :)
🙈 What a wonderfully bizarre experience to learn about! I watched the movie 15 years old with my whole family after two weeks on vacation, in the living room in countryside Denmark! It was just an amazing WIW experience for all of us! The world has certainly changed! 🖤
Oh Rick’s College.
YESSSSS....
I was there the same time as you. (Parents wouldn't "help me with school" unless I went there..)
Going there actually made me more aware how much that lifestyle wasn't for me..solidified my own, personal beliefs.
I feel like I wasted 2 years of being "educated" to only get an associates degree and no credits that would transfer when I went to a "real university".
(We all know most females who go there have reasons other than an education..that wasn't me, obviously. Or you.)
Ricks has claimed another victim. Lol.
To be honest Ted Levine's turn as Buffalo Bill was a masterpiece in and of itself and had anyone else done Hannibal lecter than Anthony Hopkins we would still be talking about how great of a villain Buffalo Bill was because of Ted Levine
I used to play this movie to go to sleep while I was in college. My friend used to tell me I was such a freak... My husband now knows he has to play that movie when I can't sleep Haha... There Is something about the music that soothes me... Definitely my favorite movie.
Am a retired police officer, saw this movie a week before I started, made me work hard to become an investigator.
ItsStillRealToMe DamnIt where I worked in Alabama you had to have at least one year on the job as a patrol officer then you could apply for investigator positions within the department when openings became available.
Finished the series last night. Amazing.
Harris just did an interview where he said he has seen the film and liked it very much. He also said he plans to binge the show "Hannibal".
Not to mention Hannibal gives away the town where Buffalo Bill lives in his first meeting with Clarice when he talks about the Belvedere in Florence.
Irrelevant fun fact: Ted Levine & Scott Glenn have both played astronaut Alan Shepard - Levine in the mini-series "From the Earth to the Moon", Glenn in "The Right Stuff". You're welcome.
Ready when you are, Sergeant Pembry.
I wish they made more movies like this. Other psychological thrillers just fall apart in the middle of the movie. This one just keeps you wanting more.
It aired on national television a summer where I was a kid. We programmed the vcr to record it and watched all the whole family together when we came back after two wee at my uncle's. It was all the talk that summer and we watched it so many times!
Yes. A Jason style half Hockey mask works on so many levels!
I gotta admit. I do wish we could have seen the original scene of Chilton's fate lol but I think that what they went with is still good. Hannibal got his man and Chilton was a creep anyways.
This movies scared the crap out of me! I even had nightmares about it! And Hopkins has creeped me out ever since, no matter what roles he was in later.
The chapters are awesome.
Meg Ryan as Starling! Maybe Hanks could have played Lecter.
Sean Connery? Hannibal would have had a scottish accent like the russian in Hunt for red october
Or in Highlander 🙈
Just try to imagine Connery trying to pronounce chianti and fava beans.
@@SimoExMachina2 😂😂😂
the horror!! (I swear he must have a lisp besides the Scottish accent..)
I’m so glad Anthony Hopkins played Dr Lector, I don’t think anyone else could of done the role justice. He was perfect.
Best Looper episode. Great research on the controversy, handled well. That wasn't easy!
Truth is Lambs weren’t all that silenced
They cut all the lambs throats when Clarice was a girl ?
Me: "It puts the lotion on its skin."
My friend: "Isn't that from Joe Dirt?"
Me: -_-
"Say it. Don't spray it, brother."
I was shocked to discover the same actor that played Buffalo Bill plays Capt. Leland Stottelmeyer on "Monk".
'Hannibal,' the tv series was brilliant. It was one of the best shows on the air at the time. For the life of me, I'll never understand it's abrupt cancellation.
I agree, I'm gutted we didn't see how they would handle the Buffalo Bill storyline.
"Silence of the Lambs" is 100 %
My Fav Psychological Thriller of All Time! Pitting two completely opposite, archetypal, dramatis personae, with an incredibly written storyline and the cloaked undertones of larger societal moral themes, combined with superb supporting roles, a dramatic musical score, poignant editing and maximum emotionally driven and extraordinary talented Cinema adaptation and directing, brings this Fictional Hero/Villian Movie Eternal Legendary Status! The sweet, but tough, courageous but vulnerable, innocence and goodness of Jodie Foster's Brilliant, Novice FBI Investigator Clarice Starling, juxtaposed beside the terrifying Hannibal Lecter, Anthony Hopkins's psychotic, wicked intelligent, unique, pure evil character is absolutely Iconic and is one of the most unforgettable movies in the World! @ladyk_love
KirstiStephenson Absolutely! SotL is the best book to movie adaptation I’ve seen. There are some minor differences but they stuck to the source material and turned out a great film!
I’m disappointed they didn’t stick with the much creepier ending.
I disagree. Try swimming in deep water, it's what we don't see that frightens us!
I wrote a stupidly long post above about why I very much disagree. The other ending where Clarise is a victim would feel contrived to me and just reinforce that there is ultimately no more nuanced role in crime drauma for women than victim. She isn't superwoman, but she isn't stuck in that stupid box either.
@@Allangulon agreed fully. it's watching him slowly fade into the background, out and free in the world, blending into the crowd, that's truly scary. Makes you think about how you can never know who around you is secretly a monster, what they've done, and what they're gonna do.
They did use the much creepier ending. The alternative ending would’ve been an example of everything that’s wrong with studio movie’s these days, where everything has to be spelled out for audiences, leaving nothing to the imagination. This ending is perfect.
This is the first movie I saw in theaters without aid of subtitles after learning English... I was 13.
Perhaps it was the times and place, or maybe I was young and impressionable... But movies now days just didn't have the impact and gravitas as older films
Silence of the Lambs, this movie and it's characters are definitely a classic that I hold in high esteem
your music always makes me cry for some reason ?
I'm trans female and never had any issue with Buffalo Bill, as we can't expect all representations to be idealised, some people don't relate to these aspects of themselves in a helpful manner.
I always saw this as a critique of societal conventions, never as a critique of LGBTQ people 😳 that's a completely novel idea to me! Guess it's seen differently in different places? love from Denmark 🖤
@@jakobraahauge7299 As far as I'm aware some LGBT objected to Buffalo Bill due to is being viewed as a negative representation. I have always taken issue with this asperation as suggests we should only ever have positive representations of minorities, which would also ignore the possibility of people developing poor mental health responses due to how societal processes treat them.
@@spacemonkey4811 And as aforementioned - LGBTQ is not a at the heart of the matter. That would societal conventions, as is currently seen! 🖤💔
@@jakobraahauge7299 That as may be, though that does not speak to the outrage the film caused in the LGBT community when it came out.
@Blind Bob And that's the whole point, so good for you!
I will never watch Clarice... They r going to ruin her like everything else...
Exactly
Jodie will always be my Clarice. She is such an underappreciated actor.
Sad but true. It seems like Hollywood these days has movies and TV shows block. It seems like they can't come up with ideas for movies and TV shows. It must be the worst feeling in the world for them. I just don't understand why they remake movies and TV shows instead of just leaving old movies and old TV shows alone.
@@MattWolfe1019 Sponsors is why.
@@MattWolfe1019 Because they made so much money the first time they figure they'll try to wring every dollar out of the franchise possible... unfortunately, they don't realise the tarnish they put on the classic originals...hard to see it through those dollar signs, I guess
There are some Hollywood characters who should never be replaced. Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter, is as perfect a match as I have ever seen. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine is next closest match
Very informative!
One of the most suspenseful movies ever. Jodie and Anthony Perkins were perfect together
Hi It’s Anthony Hopkins not Perkins , Anthony Perkins played the lead in Psycho 👍🏻
Agreed. And they both stayed at the Bates motel together with Captain Bligh and The Elephant Man.
This movie and book were absolutely amazing! The End!!
Wow I have no idea about the story behind the movie. I absolutely loved the movie and I would not change a thing. 100% classic amazing movie 💗💗💗
You know about dr Balli a doctor who kill his lover and cut int PIECES and the writer know him in a mexicana jail, a educated Man he thinl ws the jail doctor
Excellent! Thank you.
Ed Gein - not a “serial killer”.
Correct
Thank you and amazingly he is the inspiration for so many serial killer movies.
Thank you! I hate when people get that wrong.
Oftentimes, "serial killer" is used to describe someone who not only kills, but who kills for abnormal psychological gratification. He did only kill two people, but considering he had a love for grave robbing, necrophilia, and cannibalism for the other nine bodies, I definitely consider him a "serial" killer by definition. AKA: repeatedly committing the same offense and typically following a characteristic, predictable behavior pattern.
He was a serial grave robber and rapist that merely dabbled in murder.
Looper Silence of the Lambs is a crime thriller not a horror film.
I remember reading Silence of the Lambs and picturing John Hurt as Hannibal Lector. I had seen him play a killer in the movie "From the Hip". It was so vivid in my mind, that when the movie came out, I couldn't get into Anthony Hopkins playing the character. I've now seen Red Dragon and Hannibal and like his acting, but a part of me still wonders how John Hurt would have played the character.
Hhmm I didn’t know it was considered horror.
When I worked at a video store, way back in the day;
We always put it in the thriller/ suspense category.
Oh wow I can’t imagine Gene Hackman.
💥 if you binge watch serial killer documentaries. scary movies aren't going to be that scary to you peace and love to all
Ever since that cat jumped out of a locker in Alien, all horror movies are just that to me.
Ooh, gotcha! The only thing worse than a terrible script acted by attractive young people interspersed with jump-scares are the gorefests like Saw, which I haven't seen & don't plan on seeing.
I haven't bothered with anything but Stephen King's last miniseries in years.
.
Love your handle, fook trump indeed!
@@devodavis6454 the Saw franchise is actually intriguing, not just a gorefest.
@@uncertainsubscriber4815 Agreed!!! DEVO is obviously a non=thinking dickhead if he likes that handle
@@devodavis6454 The first SAW film is actually really good. As with all sequels they get sillier and sillier. The first one is not a gore fest like the others are.
I've done that..
I still think Manhunter starring William Peterson was a masterpiece.
George Thompson because of the director it looked like “Miami Vice.”
William Peterson. Yes! Let's CSI about that😄
I've been watching Clarice 👀 its been good so far . Renewed my passion for silence of the lamb .
One of the most chilling horror films and one of my favorites 💯
I Can see Philip Seymour Hoffman as Hannibal Lecter, he can play an Evil man. R.I.P
Enjoyed that..straight to the point classic movie
One of my favorite movies. I made my date take me to the movies for the opening on Valentines day. He was 40 years older than me and, thankfully, got a little creeped out and decided that I was too much for him. I was 18.
Ew. Lol
Well yeah....lol.
They did have a scene of Lector in the metal hockey mask
I think it was in Red Dragon right?
@@GLASSB182 no I specifically remember him in Lambs where he was on a dolly of some sort with the metal hockey like mask on. I'll find it
3:27 Hector?
Can't wait to watch Clarice!!
Silence of the Lambs is one of the movies that I watch every time is on tv, iconic movie...
