Welcome to our first-time watching as we react to The Silence of the Lambs (1991).
This psychological thriller masterpiece was directed by Jonathan Demme and stars Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins. This film follows FBI trainee Clarice Starling as she seeks the help of the brilliant but twisted Dr. Hannibal Lecter to catch a terrifying serial killer.
The film gave us some outstanding performances! One of our favorite elements in this film was Hannibal's chilling dialogue and the terrifying yet magnetic cat-and-mouse game both Clarice Starling and Dr. Hannibal Lecter engage in. It's a battle of the minds and we absolutely loved how the cinematography depicted that.
We hope that you enjoy our reactions, commentary and review as we discuss why this movie was extremely effective in how it utilized all of it's elements to deliver some impeccable storytelling. Most of the horror was delivered by focusing on the horrified expressions of those seeing the actual horror but it was so well done there was no need to show much in order to creep out the audience.

Also, you're very respectful to each other, never interrupting when the other is talking. I love how when Denise already knows the movie, but never spoils anything for Ari. She always lets him figure it out on his own. I think this happened with The Sixth Sense. When Ari noticed that Lecter was above her, even though he’s the one in prison-brilliant!

He can't take all the ccredit for that. You could just read the screenplay without seeing the movie, and Lecter is still the most memorable thing. The story is just set up to make it that way. And then there's the way the movie is made. His cell is the only one with a glass wall. There's the things other characters say about him. Even the way he's shot and lit. Everything about the movie says "This guy is a seriously badass motherfucker and you should be afraid of him". Hell, when he's outside of his cell, he's strapped to a trolly, with a mask over his mouth. That alone tells you he's someone you don't want to forget about.

Another great analysis, guys! Silence of the Lambs fully deserves the title “masterclass,” in every department. It’s also one of the few films that focuses on the effects of the Male Gaze, by having virtually every character look directly down the barrel of the camera whenever they’re talking to Clarice. The audience feels her discomfort as she’s assessed by the men around her, feeling their lust, condescension, judgement… she’s a woman in a man’s world, but she’s able to overcome that by her professionalism and strength of character. As for Hannibal, we’ll. one of my favourite scenes is the one between Hannibal and the senator. He’s playing it fairly straight and then can’t resist a little dig by saying what Bill had done. When he sees the senator recoil slightly at the thought of what might be happening to her daughter, he immediately attacks, exploiting out her fears in the most crude and monstrous way possible. It’s almost like Hannibal can’t help it - he even risks the deal he’s got to inflict pain. It’s his “thing.” As the young cop said, he really is some kind of vampire - an emotional vampire. Throughout the film, he does it, using his skills at reading people to cause pain, homing in on their vulnerabilities, exploiting them and then revelling in the emotional torment he’s caused… except with Clarice. Sure, in their first meeting he does it, mocking her upbringing, her aspirations and her attempts to better herself… but as she gains his respect that changes. By their final scene together, he’s actually using his skills to help her by dragging out her innermost motivations so she can gain power from the revelations.

I was going to leave a comment about all the staring from the men in the movie. Probably one of the reasons why this movie continues to give me the creeps even though I've watched it so many times but I love it so much because Clarice is such a great character and great role model. I heard the amount of women applying for the FBI increased after this movie was released. ❤

I'm here for Denise's side eyes! Terrific reaction. I read somewhere that Hopkins had a little fun on set one day. As several folks joined him in the elevator headed out for their lunch break, just as the doors closed, he slipped into character voice and said from the back of the car, "Thank you all for joining me for lunch today." Needless to say, it creeped everyone out and they felt like they wanted to claw their way out of the elevator car!

This film inspired my closest friend to become a forensic psychologist. It's her favorite movie. A bit of trivia -- Brooke Smith, who played Katherine Martin, and Ted Levine, who played Buffalo Bill, became good friends during production. They were having lunch one day and she told him that the studio wanted her to gain weight for the role. He told her she should get a credit card from the studio to buy food with. She did, and said that was one of the primary reasons the production came in over budget.

Deserved one in her early days for Taxi Driver too but Hollywood was notoriously sexist & racist at the time, she also could well have received one for Panic Room but there were too many superior movies that year which diminished her performance, it’s annoying when that happens; some performances are overlooked because the movie isn’t as good as other movies - despite the acting being superior.

I was lucky enough to meet Anthony Hopkins when I worked on the film, The Edge, which was also shot in my hometown of Canmore Alberta. So it was really nice to go home. Anyway, Anthony Hopkins is such a cool guy. The production rented a log house for him. This is a beautiful home, but it is huge. He said he did not want to stay in such a large place. But, he wondered if he could stay in the little cabin on the same property. That little cabin was one of my favourite buildings when I was growing up. I passed it every day on my way to school. It’s probably around 600 ft.². It is cute as hell. A little tiny Swiss style cabin with window shutters and window flower boxes. That’s where he stayed. Instead of the log mansion. He was kind to everyone he met in the grocery store, Marras, Where we bought our candy as kids. He walked around town quite a bit. Canmore is very beautiful. I was introduced to him on the set and I said it’s lovely to meet you, Mr. Hopkins and he said please call me Tony. Everybody just loved him in town and on the crew.

On the Graham Norton a few years back, Jodie Foster said Anthony Hopkins didn't speak to her while filming the movie. Except during their scenes together he kept pretty much to himself. Then afterwards she told him that she was scared of working with him. Which seemed to have shocked him because he told her he was scared of working with her.

Clarice did make one mistake. When she sees the moth land in the house, her instinct was "don't react, be cool and don't let on," but that let BB know that she knew about the moth he planted, and now knows it's him. She didn't respond naturally, like a person who happens to see a huge-ass moth in someone's home. Surprise would have been more natural.

Something I like to think is that Clarice's suspicions were probably raised the second Bill opened the door and they began speaking. Not only does he fit Hannibal's description exactly, he introduces himself as Jack Gordon. Starling already knows that Bill's real name in Jame Gumm and also goes by John Grant...both JG names. Under her FBI training, she would know that when people assume pseudonyms, they very often tend to choose names with the same initials. Also, the Hannibal/Clarice relationship is fascinating... particularly in the books, where there are some real complexities to it.

One of the things that struck me when I first watched this, and I see every time I re-watch, is how cleverly the camera angles are used to make us, the audience, feel uncomfortable. The 'closer than usual' angles on Anthony Hopkins puts him *inside* our personal space bubble. Subconsciously, he's already making us feel defensive. The entire movie, for every shot, he's that little bit closer than everyone else being filmed from the same angle. It's genius level manipulation. Add in the performances from two of the very best actors the industry has seen, and it becomes a benchmark of excellence. There's yet more to be considered. Howard Shore is always outstanding, and the score elevates the film further, and Jonathan Demme lets nothing go to waste. This is one of the instances where the Academy got it right. The Silence of the Lambs *deserved* all the wins and is an example for filmmakers down the ages.

This performance by Anthony Hopkins should be the gold standard for what a more traditional vampire should be. Obviously, Hannibal isn’t but he evokes the “monster in the shape of a man” that traditional vampires should be. You want to empathize and find some humanity in him but all that’s left of that part of him is a ghost. His memory of being human. Which he uses to manipulate and control those around him. He also showed the “sexual” nature of vampires well. It’s not sex but it is something intimate he wants to take from you. Something that you should only share with someone you trust but he wants it, or covets it, and will take it by force in a violating way. That and the sophistication and intelligence. Hannibal is from being a kind of prodigy but it could easily be transferred to experience from hundreds of years of experience. There is a proper way to do things and the niceties must be observed. To be rude or uncouth is insulting and to insult him is a death sentence. He disdains his peers if they are wild animals, like miggs, and will kill them just as easily as his prey. I would have loved to see prime Anthony Hopkins as a vampire lord of a court of vampires playing this game, with the same energy as this performance. Game of thrones meets the masquerade kind of thing.

Everything about that movie is fascinating. It's much more stylized, often feeling like a fever dream, especially the climax. Gotta share, traveling cross country and stooped at a out of the way convenience stores in BFE early in the morning still half dark and misty and nearly deserted. Like a scene right out of a horror movie. I thought "if this was a horror movie the killer would totally waylay victims here." I walk in and Inna Gadda Da Vida is playing (thecsong played in the climax of Manhunter). I carefully watched my back while picking out snacks...

40:31 this bait and switch is so brilliant, and the build-up to it throughout the entire movie is phenomenal. When Hannibal tells Clarice he’s going to help her catch Buffalo Bill, we assume he means that he just means he’ll help her solve the case, but he is able to manipulate the situation so that Crawford ends up at the wrong house and Clarice is given just enough clues to get her to the right address

Very perceptive of you, Denise, when you said he's like a snake. Anthony talks about how he prepared for this character; he embodied characteristics of a snake, tarantula and a crocodile, which added to him as you said, never blinking. As someone who is pursuing acting, he is one who's performances I study when I learned this about him. Using reptile and insect characteristics really changed the way I think about portraying and approaching a role. Number one favorite actor. Tony also reads poetry constantly all the time and memorizes them which he says has helped him with memorizing his lines.

Thomas Harris has only written four Hannibal Lecter novels, all of which have been adapted for the screen; one of the novels has been filmed twice. 1) Red Dragon (1981) - The first novel focuses on the character of Will Graham, who captured Lecter, and how he must turn to Lecter to catch a new killer. This was filmed twice. The first is called Manhunter (1986), directed by Michael Mann, starring William Petersen (of CSI fame) as Will Graham and Brian Cox (Succession) as Hannibal Lektor (they changed the spelling). The second adaptation was Red Dragon (2002) starring Anthony Hopkins as Lecter for his third time in the role, Edward Norton as Graham, and a supporting cast including Ralph Fiennes, Emily Watson, Harvey Keitel (as Crawford)...and it brings back Anthony Heald as Dr. Chilton and Frankie Faison as Barney. 2) The Silence of the Lambs (1988) - The second novel. 3) Hannibal (1999)-This is the third novel, and the film adaptation was released in 2001. The film was directed by Ridley Scott and was Hopkins' second outing as Lecter. However, Clarice was recast with Julianne Moore. The supporting cast includes Ray Liotta, Giancarlo Giannini (Mathis from Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace), Frankie Faison (returning again as Barney), and Gary Oldman. 4) Hannibal Rising (2006)-This is the final novel and film. It is a prequel novel about Hannibal as he becomes who he is. French actor Gaspard Ulliel played the young Lecter in the 2007 film, directed by Peter Webber. However, there are two TV series based on the novels and films. - Hannibal (2013-2015) ran for 3 seasons on NBC and starred Mads Mikkelsen as Lecter and Hugh Dancy as Will Graham. It is set before the events of Red Dragon/Manhunter, with Lecter being a consultant for the FBI. - Clarice (2021) ran for 13 episodes on CBS. Set between the events of Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal (the book/film), it focused on Clarice and the events after Lecter's escape.

Yaaaaay!! A movie that lives up to the brilliant book it’s based on. One of my absolute favorites. In the book there’s an amazing passage where Lector asks Clarice if she thinks he’s evil. She explains that she thinks he’s destructive and that, for her, that is evil. He goes into an explanation of how God must feel about evil. Brilliant! What’s wonderful here, in my opinion, is that these two people recognize the “humanity” in each other. When Clarice shares the story of the lambs it touches something very deep in Lector that makes him feel “human”. I’m so happy to be watching this with you!

This is my Christmas movie. For some reason, others don't agree. What a lot miss is all those fleeting micro-expressions in the eyes, the very slight turns of mouth at certain times, perfectly timed. As an actor they allow Hopkins to communicate such a lot that can be found about Lecter's character if you've read the book. Those sorts of things are always, at least in my opinion, far more impactful than straight up gore. And of course... that state of calmness he exudes. Again, far more intense than seeing visuals, leaves your own mind entirely free to roam into... well, all sorts of places. Howard Shore's soundtrack behind it is just perfect for the melancholy atmosphere. Love that you're reviewing it, you've both always got many totally on-point observations and pick up a lot nuances others don't. ENJOY!

Hey Denise and Ari, Martha Stewart was dating Sir Anthony Hopkins at the time the movie came out. ---- His performance was so chilling, that Martha left him soon after seeing the movie. ---- She thought if he had that in him as an actor that must be buried somewhere in him as a person. ---- She couldn't see him as anything other than Hannibal. And expected him to eat her liver at any time going forward.

Hello again, awesome Media Knights! You guys have truly been recommended an AMAZING option for a horror movie that isn't your typical horror movie. Tension, psychological horror, suspense, and a calm collected nature of Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter.....truly the best performance Hopkins has ever put on the big screen. If you like this as much as you did, then I'm sure Denise (if she has watched it) would have no problem showing the TV series "Hannibal" or the other movies involving Hannibal Lecter. The TV series has Mads Mikkelsen playing the cannibal psychiatrist, so I'm certain you'd have a nice time watching his performance. Once again, as I've said before: keep up the great work ❤

As budding filmmakers you should study this movie. So many layers. So many details you miss on previous watches you catch upon rewatching it. For example, there’s a subtle underlying theme throughout the film regarding women in a man’s world. Clarice is constantly under scrutiny from men, which belies the times when the book and film were made. The filmmakers show it perfectly even though it has nothing really to do with the plot. I’ve seen this movie probably 20-25 times, but until recently caught the fact that Precious the dog even looks like a little cute baby lamb. Katherine clutching that little dog as they take her out of the house, just like Clarice was probably doing in Montana. SOTL is an epic movie as was your reaction to it. Keep up the great work.
