lets be real, it was one of the greatest performances of all time

Were you forbidden to talk to him because he was autistic and it would make him uncomfortable or because of his status as a celebrity? I'm genuinely curious =)

[@kinkane5566]

@@andallthatjazz5796 Most likely the latter as the business wants him to feel comfortable to dine in their establishment without fear of getting harassed by fans. It sounds strange but sometimes this level of actor just wants to be able to go to a restaurant without any fuss over who he is. The restaurant knows this so they institute a rule of "no talking to the actor", good on him however for still being friendly. What a gentleman, if only the rest of us would aspire to be like Sir Anthony Hopkins.

The audience reaction was based on four things: “Silence of the Lambs” cleaning up at the Oscars - rare for a horror/thriller; a Best Actor award for a 16-minute performance; the film had been released earlier in the year when they are often forgotten come Oscar time; and the sheer greatness of Anthony Hopkins. It really is one of the great film performances ever.

[@potatoface1041]

30 years later, it is still a masterpiece! Timeless. Finally, I watched the silence of the lambs and I loved every minute of it. Psychological thriller at its best! Anthony Hopkins deserved this Oscar!!!! The screenplay and cinematic shots were phenomenal!!! I am starting a new list, "Movies to watch before you die" and this is on number 1!!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed Jodie's reaction, but the standing ovation really takes the cake. Hopkins' performance was one of the greatest in film history, and the audience and fellow colleagues knew it.

Sir Anthony Hopkins is one iconic legend.

[@miggy25]

Definitely a well-deserved Oscar for an exquisite performance. Anthony added such nuance and layers to Dr. Lecter that made the character that much more chilling and frightening. The role easily could've been hammed up, but Hopkins was extrodinary!

Hayley Comet Same. It’s absolutely riveting. It’s also, for me, the one movie where the score music looms so large throughout the film, that it’s almost a character itself.
