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.

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.

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

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 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.

"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.

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'.

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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

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.
