    Everyone knows quote "“I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.” But most of us didn't realise that hannibal make a medical joke there.
    Lecter could be treated with drugs called monoamine oxidase inhibitors - MAOIs. As a psychiatrist, Lecter knows this.
    The three things you can’t eat with MAOIs? Liver, beans, wine.
    Lecter is a) cracking a joke for his own amusement, and saying he’s not taking his meds.

    I think that scene with Clarice in total darkness, and Buffalo Bill in there with her, wearing his Night Vision Googles had to be one of the most tense scenes ever filmed..I had so many knots in my gut after that scene , that I couldn't eat for several hours after the end of the movie. That movie kept you in suspense for almost an hour and a half straight. Well paced, and fantastically edited, the movie was able to keep the audience at the edge of their seats for so long , it became an endurance test for tension building, right to the bitter end.

    Surprised they missed the biggest little known fact about this film. The scene where Hannibal escapes and kills the guards. One cop is suspended above the bars and drapery is seen behind him. The script actually called for Hannibal to cut slits in his back, then pull out his lungs, draping them on the bars as to appear that he is an angel. Sick huh?

    They also made Hannibal’s main holding cell out of clear plexiglass with holes so that they could fill him without having to work around the bars. It also made him more intimidating to watch since at times it feels like there is nothing to physically separate him from you.
    And the face eating scene the two actors bit down on a fake tongue to make the facial tug of war look more convincing

      According to the "Making of" feature, they didn't want to cast a shadow. The light was directed straight at the actress, so that the shadow is hidden directly behind her. On the other hand cinematographer's job is to make an idiot out of a viewer, so I wouldn't believe the "Making of" video itself, and neither I'd believe this very CZcams video I am commenting on here. It's just entertainment. If I want truth, I'd buy nightvision goggles myself, or simply try out my camcorder nightvision feature.

    Another thing not widely known: "Silence of the Lambs" is technically a sequel to "Manhunter" (1986) which starred William Petersen and Brian Cox as Dr. Lecter (Lecktor in Manhunter) But the filmmakers sought to make "Silence of the Lambs" as much as a stand alone film than a true sequel, however, the book "Red Dragon" on which "Manhunter" was based was later made into a connected prequel in 2002 with Anthony Hopkins reprising the roll of Lecter for the 3rd time after appearing in the sequel to Silence of the Lambs, "Hannibal" in 2001.
    I offer this tidbit to help make up for the fact the night vision goggles do in fact create visible shadows.

      @Clo J That's what makes Mads better. He doesn't want you to see that he is a tarantula. He's a far more accurate portrayal of a psychopathic serial killer. Not only that, Mads is also a more accurate version of Hannibal Lecter from the books than Hopkins. Read the books and you will see. Hannibal Lecter doesn't act over the top like Hopkins does in the books.

    • @greenaum
      @greenaum Před 6 lety +14

      Yup. "Starlight scopes" can use, well, starlight, as an illumination source. This is handy on the battlefield, because if your goggles have an enormous IR floodlight attached, anyone wearing a similar pair will be able to see it.
      But they wouldn't work in a cellar where there's just about no light at all. So Jaime would need to be wearing an IR illuminator. Whether that's visible in the film I can't remember, I'm not well familiar with the design of them.
      In that case, it depends where the illuminator is, relative to the gun. IRL it was presumably shot with an ordinary camera in ordinary white light, and tinted green / had the levels messed with afterwards. The light would usually be above and behind Jaime's shoulder.
      And I'm not going to buy T-shirts off some chancer who thinks by just stealing tiny pieces of a copyrighted film, he can get away with making money selling them. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for copyright theft, but you're a dick if you charge someone for it. There's dozens of companies doing these, reproducing logos from cult films, or inventing their own for companies in films. Pathetic imagination-free shysters.
      Great film though!

      Not Blinking makes others uncomfortable, I'm a master at it myself, and only blink ever so often, back when I was in school I used it to disturb my schoolmates.
      It's a very easy skill to learn. It will irritate your eyes if you're not used to it. And if you smile just ever so slightly while doing it, will make others really really uncomfortable. Highly recommend learning it, just stare at the point on your face that joins the nose and the forehead, that will automatically keep your eyes open, and is a good way to train keeping them open as you literally can not blink while you do it. However the actual trick is to get used to it and then just stare at other people...

    • @52Ford
      @52Ford Před 4 lety +1

      If it's pitch black, at least with the night vision that I've used, you need an IR illuminator. With the NV that I currently own, it has a built in illuminator that puts off a bit of visible red light. It's not mil-spec stuff - maybe they have better filters on the illuminators or work off of lower bandwidths. In any case, if you don't have light you can't see. You can see better in low light with night vision but you still need light. If you don't use an illuminator and you're in, for example, a cave and you have night vision, you still won't be able to see. Outside hunting with a quarter moon - you can see just fine.

  • @lozoft9

    His gun can cast a shadow in total darkness....because total darkness is very bright.

    Night vision allows you to use infrared light for the goggles to pick up. This means you can cast shadows with an infrared light, a light that you normally can't see very easily. This is certainly not a mistake.

    About the night-vision goggles: Many of them have an infra-red light which is invisible to the naked eye, but gives the goggles something to work on in total darkness. On NVG's with an IR illuminator, you could see a shadow like that.

      It does not matter. Even if Buffalo Bill were using S.I.T (Silicone Intensified Target) camera which can be used in near total darkness the small amount of light, below human threshold, still casts a shadow. I have used plenty of these types of cameras in the R.O.V Industry and repaired and adjusted these cameras plenty of times. The glow from a watch dial is enough light to illuminate an entire room. These cameras are extremely sensitive and that is what is used in military grade night vision as the military does not want even Infrared Radiation being used to to illuminate. That kind of advertises someone is using night vision. I.R detectors are cheap.

    When Clarice is hunting down Buffalo Bill in the dark, the music in the background (not soundtrack, but playing in the house) is Hip Priest by the Fall (British band from Manchester). It seems unlikely that he'd be a Fall fan, but it suits the tense amosphere with the soft kick drum and taps on the cymbals.

  • @embracethesuck1041
    @embracethesuck1041 Před 4 lety +4

    Minor point if contention. Many/most night vision devices use infrared emitters to brighten up the surroundings which is invisible to the eye (or emit a slight red glow). They do indeed cast shadows just like any other sort of light.

  • @zanethomas6865
    @zanethomas6865 Před 2 lety +2

    It was filmed in the Pittsburgh, Pa., area. A few local actors appeared in this and Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. The FBI agent during the forensic pathology scene and the creepy leery inmate who Clarice first sees were both actors who shared the small screen with Fred Rogers on his show.

    #7 is fine, night vision amplifies light up to 40,000 times. If there's no light at all they don't work. So most NVG's have a small IR light built in to create it's own light. So the shadows are realistic.

    #7 For anyone who knows about night vision devices, knows that many have an IR projection setting. It's like a flashlight that can only be seen by certain types of night vision devices. And such a setting actually does cast shadows. The shadows are where the IR light DOESN'T hit. What the lens captures is the reflection of the IR bouncing back into the lens.

  • @vilmarmoccelin
    @vilmarmoccelin Před 8 lety +10

    Actually night vision can generate shadows in the image. If the scene intended was 100% dark a passive NVG couldn't work, an active NVG uses an infra red emiter to light an area, and this "IR ilumination" CAN cast shadows like any other combination of light and sensor to pick up the light, even with softer shadows as you increase the distance of the light source.
    So, the shadow isn't a fail.

  • @davidsmith-uq7fr
    @davidsmith-uq7fr Před 8 lety +26

    Night vision goggles project infrared light. You can't see it with the naked eye, but the goggles can pick it up. They do this so that things nearby will be brighter, appearing lit up while looking through the goggles. So, the shadow is probably due to this. I wouldn't be surprised if the camera was fitted with a NVG attachment. If you look at Clarice's eyes, her pupils are dilated as if she is actually in the dark.

    • @absalonboriarty7301
      @absalonboriarty7301 Před 8 lety

      How the maker of the video would suppose one person can see without any source of light? That's nonsense for me. The scene, of course, is full of shadows... I can't figure out how one person would see regardless any play of shadow and light.

    • @Thoddius
      @Thoddius Před 8 lety +1

      +Herman Munster Human eyesight does not include the infra-red spectrum, which is why it is used for IR devices. If you have a remote control that has to be pointed at the device you are controlling then it is using IR, which means you will not see a beam emitted because humans cannot see that wavelength of light. Many NVG/NOD sets use light amplification (aka starlight) to function in low light conditions. When there is not enough ambient light to function well then IR lights are used which work in conjunction with the light amplification. If you are somehow able to see the red light emitted by an IR emitter/light then you have an X-Men level mutation and should be working as a clandestine operative for a three letter government agency.

    • @goochI034
      @goochI034 Před 8 lety

      Thoddius I don't know the difference but my security cameras use IR at night and if you look directly into the camera, you can see the red lights. They aren't very bright but bright enough to easy notice them the closer you get. No idea if that is the same as night vision goggles or not however. I figured it was since their range is very similar.

Note: Don was proped up against the prison bars in Silence Of The Lambs. He had a role in almost every major motion picture filmed in Pittsburgh, till he died in '95 or '96 of a heart attack - the onset of which was triggered by a heated argument Don had with his production partner regarding whether to launder or dry clean a batch of costumes.

    In regards to the night vision: There will NOT be that heavy of a shadow in near darkness (they only amplify light, so in total darkness you still wouldn't see anything). However, if it has an infrared light on it (which a lot do) it will cast a shadow just like the one seen but, being IR, it can only be seen by the goggles. So, is it a mistake? There's not enough information here, but it's a pretty picky mistake if you count it.

      +Star Blaster When CZcams sends its people, it's not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems; reaction channels, prank channels, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing spam. They’re bringing harassment. They’re rapist. And some, I assume, are good people. #LetsMakeCZcamsGreatAgain
