Right before Dr. Chilton leaves the cell, he says "clean him up and get him ready to go" to the orderly. Which suggests he was released from his restraints and allowed to shower and or change clothes. So that would have been the moment Dr. Lector stole the pen Dr. Chilton left on his bed.😉

[@FarikoWishless]

Realistically there's no easy answer for what do when you see something shady just as the women want to get home to their family so do we. Many of us have stopped another man for being creepy or aggressive. But many men and women just stand there recording and yelling for someone else to do it due to crowd psychology. But when you're alone its even more hard to know when. Wish it was easy to know what needed attention and when we could crowd jump someone lol. Men feel fear of dying on the way home unless you have the ego to feel safe in an area you know but if its unfamiliar those types feel far less confident anyway. Women unfortunately have a different layer of fear that's not just death although (in America) that's scarily statistically more likely with someone you know already. So awareness in all life is needed it takes effort to not be afraid of everything yet be aware sadly. PSA Just as a tip men and women please don't think men are invincible they are murdered far more than woman for a few reasons. Even if one might be there to help be ready to fight. We are often raised to help people but women saying they wont help for fear and we should feels dismissive to how risky that mindset becomes with how many men got shot or stabbed. If he goes down you still need to live. EVERYONE needs to carry something even if its a knife some people are actually IMMUNE to pepper spray don't only rely on it I tell my sister the same thing. AND FIGHT DIRTY. Eyes bones anything LIVE! USA has so many guns that you should simply get your own by this point but learn the discipline for when to use it. Too many people whip them out for simple arguments. Of course if just faking being someones friend will save them though we all should do so.

[@travistaylor2980]

Micky is wrong about the training scene. In these teamwork situations, you only clear whatever position you're on. Her partner was on the right, so that's the area he checks. So it 100% falls on Clarice for failing to clear her side.

The point of Clarice getting chastised about not checking the corners, is due to it was in HER zone.

@@RolandDeschain1 All About Eve won 6 Oscars - Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, Best Art Direction, and Best Sound Recording. It didn't have any nominees for Best Actor, so it wasn't even possible for it to win the Big Five after the nominations were announced. It did however receive four nominations for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress (two in each category). Pretty sure it's the only film in history to receive four acting nominations for women. There are only three movies in history to win the Big Five Oscars: The Silence of the Lambs (1991), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), and It Happened One Night (1934). Everything Everywhere All at Once came pretty close, but it fell one short and missed out on Best Actor. It wasn't even possible for it to win the Big Five, because there were no nominees from the film in the Best Actor category. It did however win the Oscars for both Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress, and is the only film in history to win 6 above-the-line Oscars (Big Five + Best Supporting Actor/Actress), and one of only three films to win 3 out of the 4 acting awards.

[@Patrick-jd1ku]

I'm not sure if it's because he's infatuated by her, but Hannibal can't stand rudeness.

Hence why Chilton is his ideal target. Someone deeply rude, classless, and disrespectful.

[@blueyeshadow2738]

I think it’s both. He likes her but you can tell by his manner that he values respect

[@17thknight]

I thought about it for a long time, why he killed Miggd. He is intrigued by her, but he hasn't decided if he likes her yet. But he wants to talk to her again. But he doesn't do it *for* her, it's not a gift or flirting. He wants her to feel comfortable coming back. He doesn't want her to have to walk past Miggs to again.

[@theeLonelyRedPanda]

It could also be that Clarice never once tried to mislead/lie to hannibal once. She was a straight shooter from the jump, talked with him idk if equal is the right word but she talked with him as a person, and him being a former therapist that probably just did wonders. with the test she asked him straight up although he called her out for asking to early tho. That one agent literally told her if you had an agenda he'd know. Fast forward to the deal" pretty sure she didnt know but i think hannibal knew it was bs and his face could be interpreted as they mofos really tryna play me or damn they really playing you starling to play me.

[@stephenhumphreys9149]

@@theeLonelyRedPanda Well, she absolutely did lie to him about the offer that she said was from the senator! She even helped make it up - Hannibal called her out on the disease research centre bit being her idea. But I'd say that Hannibal is smart enough to realise that she lied where she had to in order to get her job done, but not about anything that was personal to her. So I suppose he respected that.

[@thedernboy]

Navi: why do they keep calling him Dr Basically Hannibal: It's Dr. Evil, I didn't spend six years in Evil Medical School to be called "mister," thank you very much.

[@0okamino]

Yeah, regardless of what anyone might think of him, and his actions, he still earned his doctorate. It’s also a matter of respect, and courtesy, which Dr. Lecter values. He may consider himself above a great many petty things, but he still seems susceptible to some degree of flattery (as long as he detects the proper sincerity behind it). Is he always aware of that susceptibility? Honestly, I’m not sure.

[@thedarkknight2221]

*Fun Facts:* Anthony Hopkins actually based all of Hannibal’s famous mannerisms on animals. His cold yet alluring demeanor, his disturbing stares, his ability to attack with surprising speed, all based on spiders and crocodiles. He also had input into his outfits, he said that Hannibal would want his jumpsuit almost tailored to him and that his hair should be greased back like a rat. During the famous scene of Clarice telling Hannibal about the lambs the script originally called for a flashback of Clarice’s story, but the director wisely decided to have the scene focus entirely one Anthony and Jodie’s performances, saying “I feel like would be kicked out of the Directors Guild if I cut the camera away from these two during this scene”.

[@anthonydanna6069]

When Hannibal says “love your suit.” To the senator i think maybe he is implying that she is more concerned with her appearance and image and not so much about her daughter

So fun fact, the asylum prison corridor set is actually located at the Hollywood Museum in Los Angeles, and you can walk through it and into Hannibal's cell. The chair used by Jodie Foster is actually much shorter than it seems. I got to walk through it once because my graduation from makeup school was held in the building. The whole Dungeon of Doom exhibit is pretty neat really.

I believe earlier they show you that Clarice is the fastest in her class, and later in the movie we see her reflex at the end and gets the drop in Jame Gumb. And she was at fault for not clearing the room in that exercise. You're meant to clear the side of the room you enter. So she's good, but still learning. EDIT: also i believe Clarice in the books does kinda date that bug guy who was staring. don't quote me on that though

[@KingApeiron]

Bug guy was sweet, showed genuine interest in Clarice, and asked her out for hamburgers. In the book it is implied they're dating at the time of her graduation.

[@genida951]

33:43 - If I recall correctly, Hannibal Lecter was a trauma surgeon before he became a psychologist. He's also depicted as being a very skilled cook. So yes, skinning someone's face off with a pocket knife seems feasible. Had to be hell of a sharp knife and the mangled result was probably an intended and welcome side effect, so quite a bit of acceptable margin.

My brother in law is very jumpy, and rarely watches horror movies. We convinced him to watch SoTL, with the lights off. Knowing the basement scene was coming up, I sat silently in the kitchen for half an hour so that he could forget I was there. When the basement light shut off, and Bill was about to reach his hands around the back of Clarice’s face, I snuck up behind him and timed it just right to reach my hands around his peripheral vision. Years of watching him play basketball, and I had never seen him jump that high. 🤣🤣🤣 Took him 20 minutes to calm down enough to finish the movie. I never scared him again.

The framing of scenes with Jodi Foster was done to show she was in over her head. You have remember she was still a trainee, Clairce is a POV character and severing as the Avatar for the audience. As always Micky is reading too deeply into something he doesn't fully understand, When clearing a room you are responsible for your own Zone which she fails to do because she's still in Training!!! It wasn't a way to show she was some how less than as a woman it was to emphasize SHE'S STILL LEARNING THE ROPES BECAUSE SHE'S A TRAINEE!!!! This is a basic storytelling tropes its not rocket science and you don't need to dig that deep. You establish she's bad at something then when you get to the showdown with Buffalo Bill the scene is more intense playing into what Pat pointed out she she wasn't clearing the rooms right and now you earn your victory when she defeats the villian and is rewarded at the end.

I scrolled down to make sure someone commented on this. My stomach hurt at her reaction! I had to watch it several times.

(About Hannibal) "I was expecting more out of him" Yeah, it's funny, isn't it? Hannibal is SUCH a compelling character, and has such an amazing presence in this movie, and yet, he's only in less than 15% of the movie. Anthony Hopkins got an Oscar for his performance, and he was barely in the movie. And yet, he's the first thing anyone thinks of when they think about this movie. Very iconic. Definitely earned that damn Oscar with that performance.

[@LemGray]

Scott Glenn, the actor who plays Jack Crawford, plays Stick in "Daredevil." Also, the actress who plays Clarice's friend, Kasi Lemmons, is married to another actor on the show.

[@KD-cd2ck]

Holy crap that is Stick 😂 idk how I never noticed that

[@jp3813]

Definitely check out David Fincher's Se7en (1995) starring Morgan Freeman & Brad Pitt.

as for the movies: the order is Red Dragon Silence of the Lambs Hannibal (The movie, not the tv show)

[@a.r.t93]

+ The prequel "Hannibal Rising" in 2007. Michael Mann "Manhunter" is a good adaptation of the Red Dragon novel, also

[@spacenerdtrue]

You're right chronologically, but (sticking with just the Hopkins franchise), Red Dragon is after Hannibal in release order. For this specific franchise, I feel like it's better to watch in that order. Although obviously read the books in order.

[@jenk4545]

Hannibal the TV show is a prequel to everything else.

[@snowdenwyatt6276]

@@jenk4545 Due to it being set prior to Hannibal being arrested, yes. However several of the stories of the TV show are "remixes" of the various books and do not follow the books chronologically (for instance they adapted large parts of the book "Hannibal"). The alterations are due to the fact that the studio that owns the rights to the Clarice Starling character (and SotL) didn't want to play ball.

[@Lis-iw2zz]

A little Easter egg: One of the reasons Hannibal was able to escape was his low heart rate. In the beginning, it was mentioned that Hannibal's heart rate never rose above 55 even when he ate the nurse's tongue. A true psychopath

[@Zemzam]

One point about the lack of cameras in Dr. Lector's mobile cage setup: This was 1991. Cameras were heavy, large, and difficult to setup. And the picture quality was awful compared to even a cheap GoPro today.

[@JoeKerr019]

It's partially based off real events, mainly focused on Ed Gein

Tennessee is most certainly not in the mid west of the united states lmao

For that matter, Memphis is pretty much the definition of Midsouth.

[@svenskhund3603]

@0okamino I wouldn't even say that. It's mid east if anything. Tennessee sits entirely on the eastern half of the United states. Multiple states lie to its north and south so I can't even say that Tennessee sits in the deep south.

[@0okamino]

@@svenskhund3603 However, enough other people _would_ say that, for it to actually be considered the anchor of the midsouth. I wasn't saying that baselessly.

[@redswetter]

The first time we meet Hannibal Lecter is in the 1986 movie "Manhunter" played by Brian Cox and directed by Michael Mann (Well worth watching). It was remade as "Red Dragon"

[@Stefarooh]

This films climax is super intense. I saw this film in the theatres in 1991 and people were literally hiding under the chairs of the patrons in front of them.

[@jeaneb]

good job, rana, for noticing how they shot the men. i forgot which reactor noticed how creepy the guys all came off in her POV. i didn't even realize it, just that it felt uncomfortable.

[@davidshi451]

I know, right? Weirdly enough, Hannibal is the only one who doesn't come off like that, because he seems to respect her

[@arafat9828]

@@davidshi451 The close ups on Hannibal's face was also unsettling imo, but the was they shot the other men was just creepy

[@poluticon]

It’s just a POV shot, they shoot her roommate and other women the same way too. The only guy that was being creepy towards her was Chilton. You guys have some unresolved issues.

[@6alcantara]

​@@arafat9828yeah, we're not supposed to sympathize with Hannibal just because he respects her while we are supposed to condemn the others just because they seem creepy.

I learned that Anthony Hopkins based his Hannibal voice in part on Katharine Hepburn and I can never unhear it.

[@nico-v113]

Mickey, she didn’t check her corners. She was in the wrong. When clearing rooms each person has their own section of fire, Clarice overstepped and was covering the section of fire of her partner (the guy to the right). She should have been covering the left section of fire and corner which was her responsibility. This is standard protocol for room clearing.

Red Dragon is actually a better movie than Hannibal, but it's a prequel with the agent that caught Hannibal Lecter named Will Graham as the main character.

Manhunter is the best version of that story. Brian Cox chilling as Lecter.

[@BJMurphy]

​@@Square-ow7oqnews flash: thrillers can also be horror. Not all serial killer thrillers are horror, but when it involves fictional cannibals, that's a very specific subgenre of horror.

[@Square-ow7oq]

@BJMurphy i saw your other condescending comment. And idk why you want so bad to call this a horror film. Maybe because you like the genre and this movie is so prestigious, you want so bad to the genre to be validated or something. Horror is my favorite genre, but this is not a horror movie. This is a thriller. News flash, Having a cannibal is not an automatic way to classify a movie as horror. Bones and All is not a horror film.

[@Zeik56]

This is definitely way more of a thriller than a horror movie. Having cannibals does not automatically turn it into a horror movie, it just makes it a thriller where a central character is a cannibal.

I have to insist you guys react to the Hannibal tv show now that you've mentioned it. Truly S-tier television

[@williamjones6031]

1. The lisping sound Hopkins makes after he says, 'I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." is the first scene he and Foster did together and he wanted to freak her out, so her reaction is real. 2. Ted Levine/Buffalo Bill was so disturbing that he received death threats after this was released. 3. The FBI actually let them use their Quantico facility to film. 4. In the book Crawford did have a "thing" for Clarice. 5. "I'm coming to get you Murdock". The late😇 Charles Napier/Lt. Boyle played Murdock in "Rambo First Blood II". A great first time/share. 6. Everybody is hitting on Clarice but IRL hitting on Foster is a waste of time and effort. She doesn't fly that way. She has been married to a woman since it became legal in Caliphony. 7. In the book Crawford did have "a thing" for Clarice. 8. Dr. Lecter was treating Clarice 9. Others will pass this to you as well but: This movie won ALL 5 of the big Oscars.

[@francisco5434]

It was a good question about Dr Chilton’s pen: how did Dr Lector get it, while restrained in a straight jacket and restraint carrier? Since Chilton’s pen was later missing and the object from Hannibal’s mouth appears to be the pen clip, he got it nonetheless. Hannibal could only move his eyes and mouth when Chilton was in his cell. Hannibal had to outthink Chilton by distracting him as he later reached for his paperwork and pen. No doubt with a hint of knowledge of how to solve the case or who the serial killer was. Chilton clearly desired fame and it would have gotten his immediate attention. If he was paying more attention to Hannibal than the paperwork, the pen could have fallen to the floor to be collected by Hannibal after his restraints were removed. The small sound of the pen hitting the floor could be masked vocally or by a sudden jerking in his restraints. It could be in a seeming rage that he would never tell Chilton that detail, to make him angry and storm out without noticing the missing pen. A long shot that requires intelligence, good timing, and masterful manipulation, but very possible.

[@prestonpastor9503]

Both The Silence of the Lambs and Mindhunter were both filmed in Pittsburgh. My office building is basically on the grounds of the hospital where Hannibal was held. The house at the end is now a bed and breakfast can stay at.

The story was actually inspired by Ted Bundy being interviewed by the FBI to get his help to catch the most infamous serial killer in American History. Gary Ridgeway (The Green River killer) because they both hunted in the same area in Tacoma and Seattle Washington.

They should watch the Hannibal TV series after they do all the movies.

[@generalmortars7557]

Saw this almost 30 years ago and the scenne where Clarice is in the room with the deputies staring at her while towering over her still lives with me. That and the face in the storage facility. Twice she goes in alone without backup, Clarice is literally the "let's split up, well cover more ground" type of character. Please watch The Mist next, it is SO good!

[@francisco5434]

Fun fact: the backing track in dungeon scene of Buffalo Bill dancing is “Goodbye Horses” by Q Lazzarus & Garvey, went kind of viral and movie collectors drove the prices into the stratosphere. Ebay prices for the album and later CD, go for over $300! But it’s also on the “Clerks II” movie soundtrack for under $15.

[@gracelannister]

So I would suggest watching the tv show Hannibal after this or after the Hannibal movie. The book order was Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, and Hannibal Rising. The first movie made of the series was an adaptation of Red Dragon called Mind Hunter in the 80s with Brian Cox as Lector. They released Silence with Anthony Hopkins which did very well and was followed by the Hannibal movie and then Red Dragon. Then they made Hannibal Rising which is not a good movie and I suggest skipping it as it was a prequel cash grab. NBC's Hannibal takes place before Red Dragon and is set in modern day. You only have to have seen Silence and know who Hannibal Lector is to watch it. It has 3 seasons and stars Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal, Laurence Fishburne as Jack Crawford, and Hugh Dancy as the investigator Will Graham. The show doesn't have Clarice Starling as a character because a different company/network own the rights to the character. I personally think the Hannibal show is a masterclass. The cinematography blows me away and I am so surprised such a show could have been on a network channel. It has many twists and some really fun characters.
