[@DocMicrowave]

Could you imagine the Doctor's face when Hannibal meets up with him? "Dr. Chilton, can I call you Frederick? Which do you prefer, red or white wine?"

[@waterbeauty85]

4:33 The smiling inmate with the mustache who says "Hi" when Clarice passes his cell is listed in the end credits as "Friendly Psychopath." That's got to look great on his acting resume.

@@waterbeauty85 It's a good line when all you have is words, but when you have images and music, you don't need it. The film made the right choice, I'd say. A good example of why high quality adaptations often deviate from their source material.

My wife asks me why I watch this film so often. It’s because it is so effective and well-made. It is truly a classic. Its 5 Oscars back me up.

[@maplenutsreact]

It's true, so well made. Hard to watch, but that's how you know the movie accomplished what it set out to do.

[@frankiek2269]

It’s the last movie to win the Oscar trifecta. Best Film, Best Lead Actor and Best Lead Actress.

[@AdamFishkin]

Remembering the first time I saw this, thinking, "okay so this is the only horror film to win the Best Picture Oscar, hit me with your best shot". What I've always appreciated is that it doesn't aestheticize the murders or bestow the main killer with godlike powers. Buffalo Bill is just a messed-up guy who's processed his issues in an unhealthy way, and the FBI agents (rather than being heroes of an epic nature) are just people who all have to follow procedure ... the one time Crawford bends the rules for the greater good ends up backfiring. In the end they catch Bill not by exercising brute force, but by collecting information until the entire picture of Bill's rampage becomes clear. There's also Dr. Lecter, who seems larger than life but is really using tactics he learned as a psychologist to make his victims' own minds do the work for him. Then you have Dr. Chilton, a severely unprofessional man whose ego endangers lives as much as the killers do. It's not a hyper-realistic film but it's closer to the truth than what audiences are given by most slashers and thrillers. No jump scares. As you pointed out (at 4:03) the most disturbing moments are when you don't see what happens. Because a lack of information is how a killer remains at large.

[@I_ll_beer_back]

Two of the best acting performances I've ever seen (by Jodie Foster and Sir Philip Anthony Hopkins). The directing (Jonathan Demme) is also fantastic. The whole movie is a magnificent, suspenseful masterpiece

[@maplenutsreact]

I totally agree! We both felt so tense the whole time... that's powerful movie making.

A master class performance from Anthony Hopkins deserving of his Oscar. A masterpiece suspense thriller !

[@dsmith8937]

Great reaction. Refreshing to see someone actually watching the movie, engrossed in the movie, instead of someone acting like they are watching the movie, but wanting an audience, and talking, and being animated, for the "camera". Really nice to see you both react authentically.

[@user-td6fq7or8d]

Right! lol you're spot on with some of these "reactors".

[@XYtotheZ]

Agreed. I found this reaction to be genuine. Unfortunately "reaction videos" are now a dime a dozen with all sorts of absurd fake melodramatic reactions or fake crying, etc. Some of the female reactors even have links to their so called OnlyFans page in one last desperate attempt at garnering attention before they age out into their late 20's and early 30's.

[@treetopjones737]

Anthony Hopkins often played doctors and professors, intelligent men, so this role was a natural for him, combined with his skills to play both charming and creepy.

[@3lipalm3r]

The lotion bit of bill yelling wasn't scripted. The actor said he felt genuine sadness and was almost brought to tears by the girls performance, so he screamed his line so as to not tear up.

[@jodi2847]

Love how they let Clarice have flaws to overcome, like not checking corners and getting corrected and embarrassed by her superior. It makes Lecter's reverence and belief in her all the more potent.

[@matdow4470]

Fun fact : When the lights in the movie theater came back on for the audience, Sir Anthony Hopkins would startle viewers by sitting next to the them and hiss (mimicking when Hannible hisses at Clarice when talking about the census taker).

[@maplenutsreact]

What!!! Omg that would kill me! Haha

[@Serai3]

Direct address (where the actor looks and speaks into the camera) is Jonathan Demme's trademark. You'll see it in every film he made.

[@JLamstudio]

The dialogue in this film is amazing. Beautifully written.

[@axr7149]

Anthony Hopkins is such a great actor. He can play terrifying characters as effectively as sweet, kind-hearted ones. This deservedly won him his first of 2 Oscars. I highly recommend checking out his 2nd Oscar-winning performance in THE FATHER (2020) as well as an Oscar-nominated performance in THE REMAINS OF THE DAY (1993).

[@SteveLeicht1]

A little like Ian Holm in "Alien" and "The LOTR."

[@SteveLeicht1]

[@IChooseJesus9091]

I don't know about winning any awards - but I loved Anthony in Audrey Rose (1977). A movie adapted from a book. The premise rests on the idea of reincarnation. Which I don't seriously believe in. But I have still always loved the movie.

[@John_Locke_108]

If you haven't seen Manhunter then you need to watch it. It's a fantastic movie. Brian Cox plays Hannibal Lecktor and he's terrific.

[@kellifranklin4432]

We all know that Hopkins created an iconic Hannibal but Brian Cox delivered an equally chilling Hannibal that was terrifying because he played it without emotion at all. A real psychopath.

[@RealBLAlley]

I've always found Cox's portrayal far more unsettling due to his passive approach to making deeply sinister suggestions.

[@letmadora28]

[@IChooseJesus9091]

😆

[@xensonar9652]

The book is fantastic too. It sets things up so well and then never lets up. The film really captures the spirit of it, notably the slow introduction of Lecter. He's like a mythical being almost, and then by the time he escapes, even though he's been sat in a cell the whole time, we know he's an absolute monster that's gonna unleash havoc.

[@maplenutsreact]

Watching this for 2 hours and feeling so tense the whole time was a lot... I couldn't imagine reading the whole book! I bet it's amazingly written though

[@freemansteinslab]

I have always believed that Clarice became immediately suspicious of Bill as soon as he told her his name. Her demeanor visibly shifts upon entering, even before she sees the other clues. Crawford literally just told her that Bill's real name is Jame/Jamie Gumm aka John Grant...then Bill introduces himself to her as Jack Gordon. It's very common when people choose aliases, to choose a name with the same initials as their real name, as it's easier to remember and less likely to mess up...hence both his pseudonyms also have the initials JG...and I think she picked up on this.

[@deckofcards87]

Great reaction. I read the Thomas Harris book in high school and it stuck with me in long time. One of the greatest novels ever written, imo. Foster and Hopkins were beyond perfectly cast for the movie! It's interesting how Lecter, in a sense, nurtures and trains Clarice almost like a father figure (you get more of a sense of this in the book though). He wants her to catch Bill by essentially offering her a theraputic breakthrough which advances her career. Yes, it's ultimately for his own selfish gain but because he finds Clarice intriguing and respects her enough to leave her alone to live out the rest of her life. These are complex characters and Frued-ian themes. The sequels aren't nearly as smart unfortunately. 'Hannibal' the book, however, isn't a bad follow up and 'Red Dragon' which is the first book in Harris' serial killer series is very strong. Michael Mann's 'Manhunter' (1986) is an adaptation of Red Dragon, with Brian Box as Dr Lecter. You should check that one out it isn't as masterful as Silence but a good crime movie in it's own right.

[@maplenutsreact]

You're so right! I really love how you explain the relationship between Lecter and Clarice

[@terryv2006]

Clarice was an open honest person with a good heart. I believe that’s why Hannibal saves her. He meets so few people like that.

[@user-te2zq6tb9k]

Yeah, no. She lied to him throughout most of the movie (and more in the book). He fell in love with her because she defied his expectations. He thought she was a rube, but she was brave and intelligent. She fell in love with him because of his intelligence and the fact that he was open with her. What you saw is what you got, instead of the politics and corruption at the FBI.

[@JCG52577]

A lot of people will tell you to watch more of this series and include Red Dragon (2002) but I personally feel that Manhunter (1985) is a much better film. They are both based on the book Red Dragon.

[@redswetter]

I'm with you, i love Manhunter and the soundtrack is fantastic. Michael Mann picks some great music for his movies.

[@John_Locke_108]

A similar psychological thriller is Misery (1990) adapted from a Stephen King novel.

[@SG-js2qn]

This is such a classic movie. There had been a little bit about serial killers before, but this is what turned it into its own genre. And now everybody knows what a serial killer is. In terms of career roles, I compare Anthony Hopkins' performance here to Val Kilmer's in "Tombstone." Completely different films, of course, but career roles for both of them as supporting actors.

[@DanJackson1977]

The first movie in this seires was "Manhunter" (1986) by Michael Mann, based on the book "Red Dragon"... Brian Cox of Sucession plays Lechter in it.. much different take on him... more 'realistic psychopath', less over the top monster like Hoskins. Brett "Rush Hour" Ratner remade it under the books name in the early 2000s with Hoskins but definitley check out Manhunter first

[@laudanum669]

The actor who plays Jame (Buffalo Bill) Gumb is Ted Levine. He also played Detective Leland Stottlemeyer on the TV show "Monk".

[@Tateorsomething]

Hands down my favorite film. Saw this in theaters with my cousin when I was 14, and I've loved it ever since. Another creepy thriller/horror film you may "enjoy" is Seven (Se7en) from 1995.

[@IcarusDrowning-gz8se]

How about a movie that I think *should* have won the Oscar? The Talented Mr Ripley It was the only time I'd ever seen any Oscar nominee prior to the actual ceremony... and I'd seen two of them: the one above and American Beauty. American Beauty won but, although that was a good film, I still think the Talented Mr Ripley should have won. Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow and that guy who played Truman Capote (I can never remember his name). It's a thriller, and that's all I will say. If you haven't seen it you might want to put it on your list. I don't know if you can watch it for free anywhere but maybe you can't because not many people have reacted to it. If not, I will buy it for you if it wins a poll 😄

[@ridleysaria]

When I was studying film I had a class where we watched Silence of the Lambs as part of the course one day. I didn't have to stay to watch the film. We could see it on our own time or not at all if we'd already seen it. I was already very familiar with Silence of the Lambs but decided to stay because I wanted to see it again. I came to regret that decision because I didn't consider it was a night class. When we got out of class it was very late and very dark. I had to walk all the way through a poorly lit campus. Then across the student parking lot and to my car at the overflow lot on the other side of the street. The whole time I walked alone with that movie fresh on my mind. Normally movies don't scare me but it got to me that day. 😂

First "horror" movie that won the big 5 Academy Awards - legendary

[@emwa3600]

When you rewatch this movie, we see that Hannibal is standing over the beaten guard, looking on the floor for something. Ah there - a small penknfe.. white handle. "Ready when you are, Sgt Pembry." That short blade, in a surgeon's hand, can cut around ears, noses, eye-sockets, jaw and chin lines. Perfect for mask-making. Also... HANNIBAL (2003) is the follow-up film and we are treated two lessons. The first - an exploration of disembowelment in history, particularly one certain Italian family's history. And we're treated to a meal that reminds us that some of the finest restaurants have the chef visiting the patrons' table, preparing the steak right there, over a portable flame. Mmmm... how delicious!

[@emwa3600]

The first Hannibal film is is 1986's MANHUNTER with William Petersen, Dennis Farina and the awexome Tom Noonan as that film's serial killer. THAT film is another masterpiece of suspense, and a powerful closing magnus opus as the climax. This film was remade in 2002, replacing 1986's powerful cast with lesser but bigger named 'stars'. I consider it the far lesser film but it's interesting to see how milquetoast characters (like Edward Norton's thin, bleached out personality compares to powerful William Petersen ultimately, how a weaker villain compares to Tom Noonan...

[@cuyhater]

Regarding the last shot: I had a wonderful opportunity to attend a special screening of "The Silence of the Lambs" at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, hosted by director Jonathan Demme and legendary film critic Pauline Kael. As Lecter strolled off into the distance in casual pursuit of his "dinner guest," Kael jokingly asked Demme if he'd forgotten that the camera was still running. Demme laughed and said that he honestly didn't know how to end the shot, so he just let it roll on....

[@waterbeauty85]

17:03 In the book, Clarice tells Hannibal her father was a marshal who was killed when he surprised two burglars and that he couldn't stop them from shooting him because he accidentally disabled his shotgun by shortshucking it when he racked it. When Hannibal asks her why her father didn't have a pistol he could use to defend himself when the shotgun was disabled, Clarice reluctantly tells him that her father didn't have a pistol because he was a NIGHT WATCHMAN. Then she defensively insists that he REALLY WAS A MARSHAL because the want ad he answered to get job said "NIGHT MARSHAL." This and how testy she gets when Hannibal discerns the truth about her coming from "poor white trash" during their first meeting, show that Clarice feels embarrassed by her family's poor background and is very sensitive about status and socio-economic class. It's a secondary and disposable part of her character motivation in "Silence of the lambs," but it explains why her character has chanced into such a different person in the sequel "Hannibal."

For recommendations of movies you should definitely see: -Schindler's List - Chernobyl mini-series -Gladiator -American pIe series (besides being a great comedy series, the first had a great impact in the late 90's early millenium) - Final Destination (the second movie in particular traumatized that whole generation)

I didn’t really know him, played ball with some of the guys from the Steppenwolf theater in Chicago and he came out a few times. I did get to say, “It hits its free throws or it gets the hose”

One of the parts adressed in the book is when Buffalo Bill is stalking Clarice with the night vision goggles. He thinks she has beautifal hair (which is why he reaches out to it) and he is picking where to shoot her so it doesn't damage her scalp because he intends to use it for the wig of his skin suit. So probably good for her that she got the drop on him!

You guys mention the POV shots and dialogue, but in reality, during the filming of this movie even though Jodi Foster and Anthony Hopkins are in so many scenes together, they never actually met each other, during this filming, those were all individual shots. A real terrifying fact, the FBI figures that there are on average a dozen serial killers at work in the U.S. at any given time.

Hi Jordan & Chandra!😊 I had to watch a few comedies before this one, as it is on the intense side.😉 This film highlights the fact that there were not many women in organizations like the FBI and law enforcement 33 years ago, when this film was made. There is a cameo by famous director Roger Corman as the FBI Director on the phone. Hannibal rarely blinks which makes his character even more creepy. Great reactions to this intense psychological thriller, Maplenut Kids!!! 🎬👏👏👏👏

8mm - Nicolas Cage. Very gritty, very dark. Hannibal - The TV series elevates the story of Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter to a new high! It is simply stunning to watch, a visual masterpiece.

[@adrianfuegoscuro6308]

Lol. At first I though that You two R too adorables to watch this Film , but thanks for doing this, Great the Reaction

[@maplenutsreact]

Awww thank you so much! ❤ I'm not going to lie, it was a hard watch... but it's so masterfully made that I can still appreciate it!

Michelle Pfeiffer was first asked to do the role but passed thinking it was too dark. It went to Yale educated Jodie Foster instead which was a brilliant choice and nabbed her Best Actress. I would recommend these horror films from independent and commercial: Let’s Scare Jessica to Death, The Reincarnation of Peter Proud, Night of the Demon(b/w, classic film), Village of the Damned(b,w),, Megalomaniac, and from the French Extreme: High Tension, Inside, Martyrs, and Frontier(s). Eden Lake from the UK is also quite chilling.

The Hannibal Lector character was inspired by a real Mexican doctor named Alfredo Balli Treviño who killed and dismembered his boyfriend in 1959. The author of Silence Of The Lambs, Thomas Harris was a reporter at the time and was assigned to the story.
