Hopkins used to go to theaters showing the movie, sneak in when the lights were off, and sit behind people.. When the film was over and the lights were coming on, he would say in Hannibal's voice, "Did you enjoy the film?"
That's hilarious! I thought I knew most of the trivia about this movie!
That’s amazing that’s hilarious I love that
I don't care if that's true, because that is awesome.
I think most people would have shit themselves.
@@DougMcHeadI would have been the first one lmmfao!
The reason for Clarice's lamb story, Ash, is to show that, even as a child, she wanted to protect the innocent from violence. However, after she was caught trying to run off with the one lamb she was able to get out of the pen, the lamb was slaughtered anyway and Clarice was traumatized by what she saw as her failure to save it. And that failure - symbolized by the screaming of the lambs that she heard when they were being slaughtered - has haunted her ever since (and likely drove her to pursue a career in law enforcement). This is why, earlier in the film, Hannibal says to Clarice, "You think if Catherine lives, you won’t wake up in the dark ever again to that awful screaming of the lambs." Then, later, when Clarice has solved the case, killed Buffalo Bill, and saved Catherine from the well, Hannibal asks her, "Well, Clarice. Have the lambs stopped screaming?" i.e. Now that you've succeeded at saving an innocent, does that ease your feelings of guilt for not being able to save the lambs?
Symbolisms
Kinda interesting how the title of the film is literally describing the ending is a sense.
Yeah. We all got that part.
@@Santino3989 ash didnt
@@KIll74Nwhich one is ash? The brother or the sister?
When he says “love your suit” it’s his tongue-in-cheek at knowing full well what Bill intends to do with the senator’s daughter, telling her exactly what’s going to happen without them knowing.
Hannah's point also makes me think it was both this AND what she said, about her being too good looking for the moment. Good stuff on that observation.
@@Mk-gk3wv I know. After seeing this several times, this was actually a NEW observation for me, and I am here for it.
Anthony Hopkins absolutely nailed this role. Both him and Jodie Foster definitely deserved their Oscars for this movie, they were both amazing.
Fun fact: Jodie Foster said while making the film she tried to avoid Hopkins as much as possible because he was “really scary.” On the last day of filming she told him that and Hopkins’ response was “I was scared of YOU!” 🤣
That's really adorable and gentlemanly response. I mean, I think we can reasonably imagine that he wasn't, but that's a rather paternal and mentorlike perspective to carry onto such a young actress.
Or maybe I'm completely wrong and he was scared, but either take has a rather nice sentiment to it.
@@gnoath5684 Hopkins seems like a genuinely really nice guy. He's failed to plan awards speeches (or even attend) multiple times because he never thinks he's the one who should win, and he starred in that Transformers movie just because he thinks Transformers are cool 🤷♂️
@@JBWinter I believe that he is also autistic, not that that is...in any way comparable to whatever Hannibal has.
N'awwwwh. Sweetheart. Haha
@@JBWinter He should have been in a better Transformers lol
Sir Antony Hopkins was onscreen for less than TWENTY MINUTES. that's all he needed to win an Oscar...
My wife and I now go around yelling "SYMBOLISMS!" throughout the day. Also, she CAN NOT stop saying "That peppercorn action!" while flicking both wrists together obscenely. It's amazing.
😂😂😂 HANNAH read this comment to earlier and I swear it made my day!!
@@davidnorton6400 Whine, whine, whine. _You_ give it a rest. Fucking baby.
@@davidnorton6400Found the Karen everyone!
Relatable. This comment brought me such random joy lol.
This is legit the first time I heard her sneeze and that scream was adorable terrifying and funny all at the same time lol 😂 😆 @@justtrustash
The sheer horror and indignation of Hannah throughout this whole reaction is a testament to this movies power. It's truly terrifying and disturbing yet it's so fascinating.
FACTS!!
@@justtrustash - If you want to watch another movie that features the character Hannibal Lecter, there is an Excellent movie called "Manhunter" and trust me, it gives a lot of really intense atmosphere moments, different story, but same Universe I think.
@@ArthaiusRed Dragon is the remake of manhunter
I think one of the creepiest overlooked details is that when Billy is screaming down the hole to Katherine, he isn’t mocking her. He’s trying to imitate her. He’s trying to replicate sounding like a woman.
Hence him pulling the front of his shirt imitating having breasts.
Mate this is chilling..wow
Oh wow I never knew that, thanks
Yep, which is why trans people are kinda scary in general.
@@justtrustash
You two have to react to the sequel “Hannibal”
Hannah might be right about Hannibal wanting to hurt Clarice…or maybe…Ash is right about how he doesn’t want to hurt her… 🤷♂️☺️ guess you’ll have to watch to find out. 🥺
The Red Dragon shows exactly how Dr. Hannibal got caught. The actor that plays the detective that caught him is Edward Norton, from Fight Club. You both would love that movie! It's really good!
@Geoffrey Gizzard They're both good. Maybe watch the Michael Mann one first?
@Geoffrey Gizzard Really?? I'll have to check that out! I'm a suckered for original movies!!😊😊
@@croydonpiratesbaseball3748 I need to do that!
@@jodiedehart3314 Manhunter is absolutely the better film. Brian Cox, the original Hannibal actor plays him amazing.
@@Robot666House I'll have to find that and watch it, everyone is saying it's better, I need to check it out!😊
11:25 A big part of Clarice's personality is that she's very class and status conscious. It's a major motivation and a major vulnerability for her. The book makes this aspect of her character much more clear, and the dramatic shift in her personality in the sequel book and sequel movie only makes sense if you understand that about her.
What do you mean she's class and status conscious?
@@Veneficus1996I think it means she wants to look good around people. Not really in a sense of vanity, but more like she desires the respect and confidence that comes with higher class n status. I mean we've seen how some of the men treated her in the movie, so she's pretty self conscious of how she portrays herself in order to assert herself so there's no room for someone to undermine or look down on her.
Okay, Ash doing the mock throwing of the ... well, you know ... followed by Hannah's gagging was just priceless. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. And then I laughed harder when she gagged just looking back at the movie screen.
Hahaha mate honestly it kills me every time I watch it
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love how ash instantly read that Hannibal didn’t want to hurt clarice, as well as correctly predicting that he was helping her the whole time. Crazy good reaction ash!
SYMBOLISMS!!!
Symbolism Gods truly blessed me in this reaction 😂
@@justtrustash seriously f*** your symbolism s*** Ash...
...but yes you are truly blessed by the symbolism gods!
@@justtrustash You really called it at every corner, knew he wanted Clarice to match him
Hopkins won the Oscar for Best Lead Actor despite only being on screen for 16 mins.
His acting was THAT impressive.
Shouldn’t he have been the supporting actor?
this is one of only 2 movies to get both leads Oscars. points for any that knows the other
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?
@@stephenwest6738 it Happened One Night Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert!!!!! I’m a huge Frank Capra fan he had another movie that almost did it again! The Philadelphia Story James Stewart won and Katherine Hepburn should have!!!
@@stephenwest6738 Actually there were five movies that won for both best lead actor and lead actress: It Happened One Night in 1934 for Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in 1975 for Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher, Coming Home in 1978 for Jon Voight and Jane Fonda, On Golden Pond in 1981 for Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn, and this film in 1991.
Three of those films won all five (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay) of the major Oscars. Those were It Happened One Night, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and Silence of the Lambs.
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 interest 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 motifs (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.
Always loved how they focus on the story of Hannibal assaulting a nurse, and his heart rate not going over 85. When the EMT in the ambulance reads off his vitals, what is Hannibal's heart rate? 84.
Anthony Hopkins got his "Best male actor" Oscar's with just 25 minutes of screen time, I suppose that's still a record, phenomenal.
Guys, if you want another thriller to watch, I strongly recommend Martin Scorsese's "Shutter Island". Best Leonardo Dicaprio role ever in my opinion, and the plot is just mind-blowing.
15 I think.
@@yohanespaskal9352 24mins, 52 seconds
The actor who got the Academy Award for least screen time was Beatrice Straight for Best Supporting Actress in the movie Network, clocking in at five minutes and two seconds. I strongly recommend that movie, not least because of the fact that it was released on the day I was born. It talks about crazy people in the news media, which is pretty relevant these days.
@@davidblauyoutube This is true.
Quality over quantity.
Hannah's gag reflex is always the funniest friggin' thing of every reaction.
And Ash, you brought up a cool point that I have NEVER thought of. When Hannibal is talking to the Senator. I never understood why he said that stuff... it was rude. And Hannibal doesn't like rude people. And making reference to the suit within that context... it's as if he knew that they maybe had a strained relationship. Or maybe even that the Senator used it for political gains... wow. how crazy. Have NEVER thought of that.
She is a senator. Perhaps Hannibal doesn't like slimey politicians and was exercising his democratic rights?
Lecter is a cold-blooded psychopath who likes to show off his superior intellect by toying with people by pulling at their most sensitive psychological levers.
He was doing it to f--k with her, not because he has some sort of morality about her being dressed professionally.
And he makes the comment about loving her suit because his moral compass is so absent that he thinks the rest of what he just did as friendly banter, as well.
So, no, Ash totally whiffed on that. She wasn't dressed up because she didn't care about her daughter. She was dressed up because she was one of the most powerful politicians in the USA, with the army of "handlers" to make sure she'd never go on TV looking like she was completely destroyed. And why would you give a psychopath THAT much of a rush of power of letting them know you're completely destroyed? That would doom her daughter that much faster, I'd think.
I WAS DYING at Hannah's reaction/gagging at that part! 😂 😂 😂
@@AndyMatts44 Agreed!
It was an interesting idea by Ash, but people in these comments are really projecting a lot!
There's no indication that Senator Martin and Catherine had a strained relationship. Even in the book, which I have read, they didn't really say that.
Also all the stuff about her being a corrupt politician...um, how would they know anything about her professional ethics?
Is the reason she was dressed nicely because she's a Senator and is used to being image conscious even in stressful situtations, and has a staff who's job it is to make sure that she's prepped and put together at all times? Yes, of course! Because that's how the world works when you're a public figure!
That isn't some indications that she doesn't love her daughter and doesn't give a shit that she was abducted by a serial killer.
FFsake, grow up.
Besides, this is a lose-lose thing for her, because if she did appear in public in dirty sweats with her hair a mess, bawling her eyes out, people would say she's overdoing it and probably is just putting a show to garner sympathy.
He said "Love your suit", because he knew exactly what Bill was doing - turning her daughter into a suit.
The vastly different reactions at 37:50 perfectly encapsulate why you guys are so entertaining lmao. Ash jumping up in joy and Hannah is traumatized 😂 Love your banter too.
Absolutely priceless.
He said, "fly, fly, fly", because a starling is a type of bird.
EASILY the thing I was most looking forward to in this video was Hannah’s reaction to the Multiple Miggs scene and she damn sure didn’t disappoint. 🤣
The one in 12:00?
I don't think she'll be able to handle one or two scenes from Hannibal if they do that one.
@@ciaranconlon84 at LEAST 2 scenes for sure.... omg... 🤮🤮
Multiple Migs is SPIDERMAN!
@@mmor7380 Haha, yeah. 💦
Fun fact about the movie, when she told the story about the lambs, the director originally wanted to put a back flash scene while she was telling the story but the actress eyes was so good they just left it as it is. Her eyes told the story better.
You saying "back flash" instead of "flashback" really fucked with my brain for some reason. Just never heard it said that way before I guess.
@@YouOnlyIiveTwice haha. I didn't even snap until I read ur comment
There's a reason this is still the gold standard for psychological thrillers. Still to this day Anthony Hopkins talks how hard it's been to disassociate himself from the role because it was so iconic.
I always wondered why Hannibal teared up at Clarice's lamb story. Is it because he missed empathy and she made him feel that after a very long time? Is it because he missed deep human connection?
He misses leg of lamb with Chianti.
Never made that conection before, but after reading the main comment it clicked just now. I have watched the movies and read the novels years ago, when they first were released. Protecting and saving the innocent was what drove Clarice. The one thing Hannibal couldn't do - saving his little sister. She was slaughtered and eaten before his eyes by hungry soldiers when he is only a boy. If I am not wrong, his whole family is killed during WWII in Russia. At some point the hunger there were so bad because of the occupation, that people started to eat the dead. I think Tomas Harris based Hannibal on several serial killers, one of which is Chikatilo, who was also a cannibal with over 50 victims. It is assumed that he has witnesed cannibalism or even ate human meat when he was a child. I think Hannibal sees in Clarice the savior, the pure soul, that he needed to save his sister... Dunno. I am just assuming.
he realizes its the last time he will ever see clarice! so sad :(
I think it’s because he is a psychiatrist and has been locked up for years. He got to have a breakthrough with a patient after years of not being able to do something he is exceptional at. While a monster, he still has part of him that is human.
He had a genuine emotional connection with Clarice. He has feelings for her
Red Dragon answers the question of who caught him, and Hannibal answers the question of whether or not he'd hurt Clarice. Both good in their own way, but this one is the best by far.
Red Dragon is a reboot of Manhunter. They made the first book into a movie twice.
yeh when ash said "who caught him , originally?" i was like "i hope we get to see you find out"
I want them to watch also Hannibal Rising because it tells you so much about the character
Manhunter is the 1st movie in the series. Way better than red dragon
I prefer Manhunter.
According to Urban legend
Anthony did attend a screening of the movie in a cinema and sat all the way back, just behind a woman.
He heard the woman saying to her friends that Hopkins performance was creepy and really made her sweat cold sweat.
When the credits started rolling he leaned in next to the woman's ear and said in his Hannibal voice/tone "Well did you enjoy it?"
According to witness the woman screamed so hard that she was heard outside of the cinema/room.
It's true he mentioned this happened once in an interview.
- God, I would love to have seen that, not gonna lie, I probably would have shat myself if I was the one he did it to, but still funny AF.
The dynamic between these two is the best thing ever.
Proper compliment, thank you mate ❤️❤️
They remind me of my grandparents screaming and laughing at each other all day.
54 years they were together
Buffalo Bill is a composite of several real serial killers. That bit where he fakes having a broken arm to lure the girl into the van was based on Ted Bundy.
Yeah..the Wisconsin guy, what’s his name..Ed Guin..sp is probably wrong..
You might call him creepy, but the guy with the eye issue was the most genuine, honest, respectful offer she got the whole movie. He smiled, asked her to a nice middle class outing, and when she asked if he was hitting on her he smiled and said yes.
After it was over I would probably pop by for a cheeseburger.
With the stresses of the case and having a cannibal psychiatrist be attracted to you, cheeseburgers and beer would sound fantastic.
The difference b/w the tech guy and cops in dead body inspection scene is that cops don't look at clarice with desirability, but with sense of "what the fuck this bitch doing here!".
Clarice is an intern and a women. Most cops think she is crawfords mistress, even lector points that out. And in the end, we see there is some truth to it, crawford does seem interested in her. Yet we see how brave and determined clarice is, despite her shortcomings bite her many times in the movie.
The purpose of all those creepy stares is different. Jailor & crawford look at her with intent to exert their power over her, cops look at her like some diversity hire meddling in their business, and tech guy is infatuated with her.
In the book she does go for cheeseburgers
But most importantly he respected her and treated her as an equal.
@@ReallyGoodandKind she doesn't go for cheeseburgers in the book. She accepted when he invited her over to come stay at his cabin.
12:45 OMFG!!! HANNAH'S GAGGING HAS ME LAUGHING SO HARD I CAN'T BREATHE!! HOLY FUCK, I'M DYING!!!
OH CHRIST, I HAVEN'T LAUGHED THAT HARD IN A WHILE!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mate legit I was laughing the whole time editing it 😂
@@justtrustash AND YOU TRYING TO MAKE HER BARF ALL THE WAY!! OMG!! THAT WAS STOMACH LAUGHING EPIC!!!
This is my first time watching the two of you. This one of my top five favorite movies. I’ve always thought Dr. Lector’s comment about the senator’s suit was random, but it’s not. It was about the fact that she’s still well put together considering her daughter has been abducted by a serial killer. Most people wouldn’t care at the moment.
The TV retelling of a story with the same characters called Hannibal is really worth checking out. It's quite a bit of episodes but I'm sure you guys will like it.
I always took Hannibal saying to the Senator "nice suit" as him giving another clue as to what Buffalo Bill is doing to the bodies because Buffalo Bill makes woman suits. You're right that he respects Claurice and typically goes after people that he perceives as rude with some exceptions.
What he said to the senator was pretty rude, though.
Another subtle clue he gives which I love is when he tells Clarice to think about first principles: "simplicity". "Simplicity" is the name of one of the world's biggest manufacturers of sewing patterns and accessories.
@@ArnoldTohtFan Lecter is a hypocrite.
I think in a way he disrespects all of them because BB has already done his evil deeds to a couple of girls but only when a senator's daughter is on the line, they take it seriously. He obviously does not care about the girl or her family or that they are considered more important than others, he is the authority now. He gives Clarice all she needs to crack the case because she is the underdog and he wants her to do it alone or die trying.
Nah you over-read it, he just has an eye for fashion
Something to remember; this was set at the end of the 80's. The glass ceiling was only recently cracked. Women almost never became FBI agents before this, so Starling drew a lot of stares from men in law enforcement. It adds to the feeling of danger for her, as well as emphasizing the idea of her being isolated and that she has to work extra hard to prove herself.
Plus, all those stares at her were the men "coveting" her.
"They covet what they see every day"
It's how Clarice realized that Buffalo Bill knew his first victim.
Early 80s.
1983.
It wasn't so much of a glass ceiling, it was that women did not typically desire jobs like that back then, and it was weird when they did.
Clarice in the books was far more ferocious than she is portrayed onscreen in either of the movies.
She was an anomaly.
Exactly, making Lecter, ironically, the safest man for Clarice to be around.
OMG. The 12:00 gag reflex moment had me in stitches!! Hardest I've laughed this year!!
It’s an absolutely incredible film. My dad has an old friend of his that actually worked on the production of this film. I can’t remember her name cause it’s been so long since she came over, but holy cow she was one of the coolest people I’ve met. It takes so much creativity to produce masterpieces like this it’s unbelievable.
Everybody was playing checkers and Hannibal was playing chess. Psychological drama is way better than pure gore. These are two great performances. And to think they were never in the presence of each other for this movie. That just blows my mind.
Ted Levine’s underrated performance as Buffalo Bill was also excellent.
The serial killer helping to find another serial killer was based off a true event. Ted Bundy had offered to do a profile on a serial killer that was on the loose and was fairly accurate in describing what to look for.
Ted Bundy was also known for trying to trap girls by faking an injury and getting them to help load a chair into a van.
This isn’t accurate. Although he had spoken to the FBI about ideas on the Green River Killer, little was accurate and what was could only be interpreted after the fact and was clearly nothing more than an educated guess. More BS to make a terrible human seem like some super being. The man was certainly no Hannibal Lecter, just like he wasn’t half as handsome as public sentiment remembers him. He was just another loser murderer.
@@MojiBeau So what do we do with the investigating detective's (Reichert) credit to Bundy for helping get inside the mind of Greenriver? It was not Bundy's fault that investigators did not listen when he said to stake out the bodies since (as part of his profile) the killer would return to visit the bodies. They could have stopped him long before he was actually caught.
you´d love the netflix series "mindhunter"
8:14 37:30 a lot of people don’t notice but when the warden in the beginning states his heart rate never rose above 85 when he attacked the nurse was foreshadowing. When he murders the cops and the EMT in the ambulance, right before Hannibal took off the face the EMT reads out his pulse as 84 BPM. Nice little touch.
47:08: Yes. There are 4 other movies. Manhunt came out before this one (but that one has Brian Cox, the guy who played Striker in X-Men 2, as Hannibal). The other 3 take place in the same universe as this movie: Hannibal is a direct sequel except with Julianne Moore as Clarice, Red Dragon is a prequel and Hannibal Rising, as the name implies, is Hannibal’s origin story.
I think the prequel was actually called Manhunter.
@@JeanIsaac-jk5fp - Thank you.
You see Hanna and Ash what makes Hannibal so intriguing and more deadly than just a gorefest character, is that he is absolutely calculated and methodical in his approach to tearing someone apart physically and psychologically. You must watch the Hannibal TV series. It's absolutely amazing starring Mads Mikkelsen ( one of my favorite actors).
Yup, TV series is fun. I'd say they have to adjust it to watch a few parts per episode though.
Seconded, the "Hannibal" TV show is great and beautiful; masterful acting as well.
I was blown away by Mr Mikkelsen's interpretation of Lecter. He was absolutely fantastic. The visuals are both horrific, and stunningly beautiful.
Every time she has a “gag attack” I cry laughing… my abs literally hurt lol
Bro, I blacked out during Seven. Seriously, I got like an aneurysm in my head from laughing.
It's 1:35 am and I'm laughing so hard I'm about to wake up my kid. 🤣😭😂
Poor Hanna!
At this rate they will be able to release a short video with nothing but Hanna's 'greatest hits'.
Ted Levine is such a versatile and dedicated actor. Criminally underrated.
i'm crying man lol
12:00 to 14:00.. already repeated a couple times just to see Hannah's reaction..
i swear i been laughing without breathing for about 30 secs xD
amazing reaction you two hahaha
P.S. sorry Hannah for laughing at your pain lol
The little quips and smiles after she prods Ash, they are so fn cute. You can tell how much they put up with each other. And have such fun doing it. They're adorable. Stay strong you two! And a simpleton of a fan as I will enjoy your content!
Also, Ash is 100% right. Hannibal only eats rude people. He respects and admires Clarice and considers her a friend
The use of the Chrysalis is symbolic of 'becoming', just as Buffalo Bill was wanting to 'become' as a Moth emerging from it's cuccoon. Also, did you catch the symbolism behind the man with 'crossed eyes' who was flirting with Clarice who was the only gentleman she even slightly reciprocated with by way of conversation, he was the only one who gave her the respect of being honest and up front with her.. 😉 Also, to 'Covet' is to desire something someone else has. Ash was right, Lecter never desires to hurt Clarice.. coincidentally Lecter only 'eats' people who are disrespectful or have bad manners or are impolite, he is a cannibal with standards.. 😋 The final scene in the basement when Bill has the night vision goggles on and he reaches for her hair, he is 'coveting' it.. he had plenty of time to bash her head in if he so desired but what he wanted was the crowning glory to his suit, her hair, most likely her entire scalp so he could wear it like a hoody..
I'm 13 minutes into this reaction and have laughed so hard I might die thanks to Hannah's gagging. 😂😂😂
Best response ever…: “Depends on whether you want it or not”. -Hannah 🤣🤣♥️
The great thing about this movie is that the characters face directly at the audience in key conversations, as if they are breaking the fourth wall and talking to you instead of at the movie characters.
Anthony Hopkins in The Elephant Man was incredible. First movie I saw with him in it.
I was working on a TV series, “The Golden Years”, which starred Ed Lauter. Now Ed had starred in the film “Magic”, with Hopkins several years before. They were good friends. I get called on set that there was an international call for Ed. So I take Ed from the sound stage to the office so he can take the call. It was Anthony Hopkins calling. I watched Ed talk with Tony, they had a good laugh, Ed congratulated him, and suddenly Ed turned white as a sheet. After he got off the phone, I asked him if everything was ok. He said, “That was Tony Hopkins on the phone. He said he just got cast in this film called Silence of the Lambs. He said it’s brilliant and going to make his career. It’s going to change everything for him. Then his voice changed and I swear to god he became this Lector character on the phone. And the S.O.B. In 30 seconds dissected my mind. He scared the shit out of me. On the damn phone.” Was wonderful. One of my great film career memories. Thought I’d share.
"You can look, just don't flick your Cum at them." Hilarious! Haven't had a belly laugh like that in a while. Thanks you two. Love the channel.
And Ash following it with SYMBOLISM. LOL I could watch you say that all day, Ash.
Hahaha love you mate ❤️
@@MrSuperHappyPants May your day be filled be Great Symbolism to point you in the right direction 😂👊🏽
@@justtrustash - I actually was most amused by her comment "It depends on if she wants it or not" lol
One the funniest reactions to the cell scene I’ve seen. Hannah always cracks me up.
16:44 Can't remember ever laughing that hard during a Silent of the lambs reaction.
There are two more movies related to this masterpiece that I recommend: Hannibal and Red Dragon. Sir Anthony Hopkins is absolutely legendary in every role. Wolfman 2010 also one for the long list of movies you need to see and react. Detectives Ash & Hannah, you've been stunned by the performance which is the only obvious reaction but I am all about these classics and I appreciate you so much for picking them 👍🏻😎.
There is 2 other movies: manhunter, the First Red Dragon movie. And Hannibal Rising with a Young Hannibal. Both without Hopkins.
Forget Red Dragon watch Manhunter.
The directing choice to shoot alot of the film with straight on camera angles is a fantastic technique to get you in Jodie Foster's headspace...and to show Hannibals ability to mentally dominate
I like every frame a painting too. great short on this.
It also makes the audience uncomfortable.
Actually part of the genius of the directing is that Clarice always looks slightly off-centre from the camera, thus distinguishing her from Hanibal & the men in the film who look directly at the camera, meaning a) it makes it clear that Clarice is our central character because everyone else is viewed directly from her perspective, and b) it makes us as the audience feel the creepiness of the men even more because we experience it from her POV, as though they're looking at us.
Mr. Symbolism himself didn't even catch "let me know when those lambs stop screaming." Silence of the Lambs.
Congrats on 50k. Glad to be a part of it.
Honoured to have you on the channel ❤️
You two are great 😂I’ve seen tons of reactions !! I love this movie … you two were great !! 🎉
You had me with Hannah gagging in the thumbnail 😂 I cannot wait! :)
Timestamp please
@@mmor7380 12:13 I believe
AND THE LOOK ON ASH'S FACE DURING THE "TUCK" SCENE!!!
PRICELESS!!😂
Who caught Lecter? Watch RED DRAGON!
What I like is that because Jodi kept away from Hopkins, he was able to genuinely flip her out. And the scene where he hisses after describing eating a liver was apparently just him ad libing and it wasn’t in the script and so freaked everyone out!
You’re right mate, most of the reactors I watch it’s mainly because of the programmes or films they watch why I subscribe to them, with you two it’s mainly because of your energy, your back and forth humour that keeps me coming back. You’re 100% my favourite reactors on CZcams 👍🏻
What a banging compliment mate, mad mad love to you James ❤️
Love how Hannah picked up on Chilton's skeeviness immediately, not that it's hard for most to miss. Talk about behavioral sciences, let's get her into the FBI. Also she identified Barney as a decent guy (at least as far as we've gone so far).
Chronological order of movies/serie from Hannibal (all adapted from novels wrote by Thomas Harris except the 2013 serie)
Hannibal Rising (2007)
Hannibal (TV Serie 3 seasons 2013-2015 need a 4th season but life is a bitch)
Red Dragon (2002) and Manhunter (1986, wich is also based on the Red Dragon book but they did'nt have the official rights of the novel so they use another title)
The Silence of The Lambs (1991)
Hannibal (2001)
“Baby, he’s eating his face.” 😆😆😆
I love how he tries to get a rise outa her haha
This is, by far, my favorite react channel on YT. You and Hannah's chemistry together is great
Love you mate ❤️
Sir Anthony Hopkins is a true British National Treasure. He's won two Best Actor Oscars, the first for this film, and was knighted a few years after this film. He also improvised the terrifying teeth sucking sound for the liver and fava beans scene. How hard this film hit you guys - that's how the whole world was when this movie came out. Thanks for another great reaction.
It’s no wonder that both, Anthony Hopkins, and Jodie Foster won academy awards for this, what a classic!
Her repeatedly gagging had me in tears. 😂
Dude - Good call on the "I'll bet you'd destroy that lamb if it was on the plate" comment! One of my favorite meals was when my mom would prepare for me a leg of lamb with garlic cloves, small roasted potatoes, with mint jelly.
I took part on the 1991 Gulf War, where I was an advisor to the Egyptian Army forces. They fed us goat and rice every day. Goat and rice for lunch ... goat and rice for dinner. Every damned day. When I returned home after the war and made the trip to visit my mom (having been away nearly nine months), she prepared lamb for me.
Apparently, I had a "look" on my face. My mom had to assure me that this was lamb NOT goat.
This is the absolute BEST reaction to this movie, I've ever watched. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!
32:17 --- Ash gets it.. Hannibal would never harm Clarice because she was honest, polite, treated him with respect, and trusted him..
It's like shopping for clothes🤣🤣🤣the dog eating well line...na I'm finished.
Hannah is it? How have you survived this long? 🤣 "Help him" "they look friendly" 🤣
IKR, I'm thinking, Hannah are you mental??? Help this creepy guy PUT AN OLD COUCH IN SOME DIRTY BUS??
I love Hannah's ability to be so sure about things but be waaaaay off lol
During the blackout scene where agent Starling is in pitch black, the book describes every little detail, which is the perfect thing to do for tension build. The author talks about how Bill can smell Clarice's hair. That's how close he was.
Good reload, too. No action-movie crap. shows anxiety and fear perfectly.
Great reaction. The lambs were Bill’s victims. They were being slaughtered and skinned. Bill silenced their screams when he killed them. Clarice had unresolved issues from her childhood. She had a need to help and save victims. Her saving Katherine was like her saving the one lamb she failed to save as a child. This would help her to better move forward in life. Hannibal didn’t eat whole bodies. He ate just an organ or a small part. He targeted people who were rude or he felt were blemishes on the world. Anyone who got in his way was just collateral damage. He was caught by another very talented and genius young detective named Will Graham.
You’ve got a sequel, three prequels ( although one is a remake of another one) and an absolutely amazing series although with a different actor playing Hannibal. One of the best characters eve!
I love Manhunter. Enjoyed it more than Red dragon.
the Clarice series is pretty good too, highly recommend
@@rileyindieman1 Yea me too actually, Hopkins was getting a bit too old I thought at that point to really play the younger Hannibal. I think I'm the only person though who really loved Hannibal Rising! I thougt it was great!
@@HorribleGamingFun Oh wow I didnt even know there was one! How the hell did I miss that lol! Yea i know its heresy but the Hannibal series is just so good that for me Mads is actually the ultimate Lector for me! It was amazing!
Many tactics of previous serial killers were used for this movie. Ted Bundy would pretend to be handicapped (broken arm etc) to get women to drop their defense and it worked, he was able to abduct two women in broad daylight at a crowded lake. Buffalo Bill’s character and his skin fascination comes from Ed Gein who used the skin of his victims to make things out of, a nipple belt, human skin lamp shade…the list goes on. Great reaction, my poor dear Hannah lol you have to give some comedy for the reaction 🤣♥️
Bundy also helped provide information about another killer. And he escaped,too, though not like Hannibal.
@@arisucheddar3097 yup😉, he helped catch the Green River Killer, Gary Ridgeway.
LMFAO her face @ 27:10 made me laugh so hard + his taken aback reaction to it. im dead. she legit looked like she was in pain for a moment
You guys are genuinely so funny.
Winner of 5 Oscars including Best Picture. It was the first and only Horror Thriller film to win Best.
Meryl Streep, Laura Dern, Meg Ryan and Michelle Pfeiffer were considered for Clarice.
Louis Gossett Jr Forrest Whitaker Robert Duvall, Ed Harris, William Friedkin, Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino and Sean Connery were almost cast as Hannibal Lecter.
Crazy to think one different casting changes the entire movie.
Streep was never considered if I’m not mistaken
The scene where Leckter escapes after he bites the cop in the face and beats the other one to death was on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments.
HANNIBAL (2001 film) is the sequel to Silence of The Lambs. RED DRAGON (2002 film) is the prequel, but the last movie with Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter.
I’m not even 10 mins in and bustling laughing 😂 you both crack me up!!🤣🤣🤣
Manhunter 1986 is a film adaptation of the first novel in this series and also features Hannibal Lecter. The protagonist is the detective that caught Lecter and it is discussed in the movie.
In my opinion, Red Dragon is a better version of that same story - and features Hopkins as Lecter.
@@CraigKostelecky I prefer Michael Mann's version
panic room with Jodi foster is always reaaaaly good
The scene with Bill and Clarice in the basement traumatized me. How unbelievably terrifying would that be? 😳 A near perfect film in every way.
You want to know who caught him, watch Red Dragon. The performances in that are Amazing, and it answers a few questions.
So excited that the two of you watched this movie. I was especially looking forward to Hannah’s reactions.
You also have “Red Dragon” (2002) - how he got caught, but mainly about a different villain - “Hannibal Rising” (2007) - his origins and how he became a serial killer - and “Hannibal (2001) - a continuation of “The Silence of the Lambs”.
These characters and ideas are a rather big and popular franchise of movies and teevee. SOTL is a tricky flick because it pulls the rug out from us, at least once. Also, the scenes between Jodie and Anthony are sublime acting, particularly the one where Starling bares her childhood/lambs memory to him; no musical score, nothing fancy, just two powerhouse actors excelling at their craft and holding the viewer spellbound and enthralled.
I'd suggest a reaction to the delicous and dark 2013 American television drama series _Hannibal_ which took a different take on the character of Doctor Lecter, less campy and not as much chewing the scenery as in this movie here. Clarice is absent; they didn't get a chance to explore the novel "The Silence of the Lambs" in the three seasons that aired on NBC, only "Red Dragon" and "Hannibal" for the most part, focusing on the dynamic between FBI man Will Graham and our esteemed -cannibal- psychiatrist. The show was cancelled during its third year due to a drop in ratings/viewers and ended on a cliff-hanger which annoyed some fans because nothing was truly wrapped up in a tidy finale. While this was an NBC network show that was broadcast at 10pm each week, the themes and visuals often were much more like an HBO crime drama. The photography and design is often gorgeous and artsy, and the story is addictive and sharp. Well worth one's time. I've watched it three times. And FWIW, the third season final episode (which would be the last one filmed) actually serves as a fine ending to the show. Strangely enough, it leaves you wanting more story but also feels like a very good place to stop the drama.
Warm regards to you both
from Northeast Pennsylvania, USA ❤
lol The part where Hannah starts gagging had me dying of laughter
Rewatched this lastnight. What a movie!
Yeah, full of great ideas and visual intricacies.
@@powerofberzerker9487 also the soundtrack is insane
Arguably one of the greatest horror films ever made. Great reaction! 👍🏿 This film is pretty much a perfect movie.
You guys could literally watch almost every U.S movie produced in the 90's and it's an absolute banger.
1. This thing snagged all 5 of the big OSCARS
2. IRL you're wasting your time trying to pick that up. She doesn't do men.
3. Lt. Boyle/Charles Napier😇 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 thy did together and it worked.
You guys are the fucking cutest and best reaction channel ever! You guys are amazing and hilarious! 😂❤️😂
Let’s gooooo mate!! Mad love to you cesar ❤️
@@justtrustash likewise to you both beautiful human beings ❤️
