“People will say we’re in love.” Creepy yet flirtatious simultaneously, Hannibal is such an interesting villain.

[@georgefisher8610]

You probably already know this, but Hannibal is quoting a chorus line from the musical "Oklahoma," by Gordon McCrae. That's what makes this line so delicious, because of Hannibal's wide interests and his refined cultural tastes. He's listening, not to hip-hop or rap while incarcerated... he's listening to Bach.

[@schrire39]

This is one of the most brilliant stories ever. Clarice lost her dad when she was young and so she feels drawn to certain father figures, namely Jack Crawford. I think Lector can sense this and tries to fill that role himself, taking her under his wing and helping her solve the case. It just makes him that much more terrifying, the way he can read people and manipulate them.

[@StuUngar]

@dani cali In exchange for his escape. She slipped him escape. She feels guilt and continues searching bc she knows he escapes because of her. He had to play a long game. He loved Clarice because she tried to save the lamb, like his sister did for him. He sees that as the ultimate good. So he manipulates her all the way from Jack Crawford bringing him in. (Ed Norton), which didnt work, to him sending Starling.

Clarice Starling: He kills women. Dr. Hannibal Lecter: No, that is incidental. What is the first and principal thing he does, what needs does he serve by killing? Clarice Starling: Anger, social acceptance, and, uh, sexual frustration … Dr. Hannibal Lecter: No, he covets. That's his nature. And how do we begin to covet, Clarice? Do we seek out things to covet? Make an effort to answer, now. Clarice Starling: No. We just… Dr. Hannibal Lecter: No. We begin by coveting what we see every day. Don't you feel eyes moving over your body, Clarice?

You know why those movies are considered classics? While Clarice tells her story later on, in today's movies there would have been a flashback scene, extremely disturbing and action-filled. While here we are tremendously moved by Jodie Foster's phenomenal performance that makes Clarice's memory also ours. Not one use of CGI but spectacular in every way. ALSO, no romantic interaction at all, yet the chemistry is palpable. Although I loved them together, I so appreciate that Jodie didn't return for the sequel, which proves how seriously she takes her job and how she's focused on the artistic side of it. Her Clarice would never fall for Lecter.

[@victoriaburroughs8399]

The edge in Lecter's voice is not necessarily because he is angry or frustrated with Clarice. It's more like a teacher-student/apprentice relationship. He's spent enough time with Clarice to know that she is smart enough to solve this case and is therefore worth Lecter's time. However, Lecter also knows that time is of the essence. He could have let Clarice chases her tail, but that would mean that all the information and time he's provided her would be worthless. So, he prompts her with more useful insight into Buffalo Bill's psychology. And when she inevitably fumbles while he's grilling her with his questions, he sternly tells her the answers. Lecter desperately wants Clarice to understand and comprehend the information he is giving her so that she can solve this case, so that's why he gets so stern and intense with his mannerisms.

Whole thing is shot and paced so beautifully. There's a cage between characters, and at times it seems like Hannibal is the one who's on the outside. And psychologically he is kind of in position of power in the scene.

Funny thing his total screen time is like 17 min or something, but when we think of this film we go right to him.

[@futuremovieactor]

Eight minutes. He had eight minutes of screentime.

[@tomnorton4277]

@@futuremovieactor 8 minutes of screen time and yet this performance is still celebrated 3 decades later.

Hannibal is reading poetry before mentioning people will say we're in love.

[@epic9203]

1:24 The way he says "NO" reminds me of Palpatine when he tried to zap Mace Windu with his force lightning

[@innertubez]

They both knocked it out of the park in this film

[@michaeltruthson6262]

"People will say that we are in love" how true it was as the books ended with Clarice and Dr. Han running off together Joker and Harley Quinn like.

One person was a census taker that tried to test Hannibal.

He ate his liver, with some Fava peans and a nice chianti.

The whole scene gives feelings of a promising student with a knowledgeable professor - he doesn't give any straight answers, he guides her. Only difference - the professor teaches his student how to find one of his own: a killer with no mercy and empathy. Truly chilling

I really shouldn't post this, someone i know might see it but I think anthony hopkins' hannibal lector is the sexiest man ever!

[@TakersMissy]

Yes! Once I got over my initial fear of this oh-so-scary genius, I was crushing big-time. Of course, Anthony Hopkins was a handsome man himself, too. Crazy, aren't we? lol

[@luthienrocks]

TakersMissy yeah we're completely wacked haha ;)

[@MIKEYPOOHBEARJACKSON]

Agreed

[@Akilroth234]

Yes, he will certainly eat you out (sorry)

[@TomCatFromMA]

Anthony Hopkins is so exquisitely devilish in this film that even though his character can be callous when he murders innocents and heartless and gruesome as when he took the police officer's face off, somehow I cannot escape his charm and intelligence. His voice is almost melodious and certainly mesmerizing. To watch these scenes so many years after the debut still can make me giggle with giddiness. He's just so flawless and the lines are a delight. I love a great villain. I just came here because I been haunted lately by the way he utters the word, "Yeah" after Clarice admits to her despicable ruse. I'm going to record it so that I can play it as a sarcastic "yes" to tickle some of the people in my life. Yeah. Thank you, Sir Hopkins.

[@rexoates3353]

He’s just too good at this character. lol

[@TheRealKing-ti1gk]

Anthony Hopkins.....Simply Perfect!!!

[@mo0onlight921]

Once upone of the time .. when Hollywood used to make movies .. real movies

[@Shucksofficial]

The way he speaks is so calming and relaxing. He’d be great at asmr

[@holliswilliams8426]

he does some poetry reading on youtube if youre interested

[@Fitchy-ke3wz]

When he turned around in the chair it occurred to me that Anthony Hopkins would be a great Bond villain.

[@milindkakodkar4995]

Very intelligent Doctor. A deadly combination.

I wish Jodie Foster would have came back in the sequel

[@MaxinIsaac]

He is literally so freaking calm
