Silence of the lambs is one of only three films in history who have won all the five big Oscars, best male and female, best director, best script and best film. The others are One flew over the cuckoo's nest and It happened one night.

Jodie Foster is a genius. A straight-A student and valedictorian of her 30-member class at L.A.’s rigorous Lycée Français, Jodie applied to Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Berkeley and Stanford. Eventually she found out she had scored a collegiate grand slam. Astonishingly, she was accepted by all of those schools. she's simply the best

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

Perhaps the greatest irony of The Silence of the Lambs is that some people believe that this movie about the marginalization of women was stolen by a man. And sure enough, Anthony Hopkins gave an iconic performance as Hannibal “The Cannibal” Lecter, a slithering serial killer whose good manners give way to despicable violence. But this rich and filling motion picture - one of my very favorites - is not his movie. It is Jodie Foster’s. It is Foster we see running the FBI training course at the beginning of the film, proving herself worthy from the opening frames and then spending the rest of the film showing her work. Every eye is upon her, lascivious or pitying, condescending or predatory. It says a lot about the world of The Silence of the Lambs that the only man in the movie who doesn’t view her as “less than” for her sex is a homicidal maniac. (And that is, if you think about it, the only reason we truly like Lecter at all. Only he and the audience can recognize Clarice Starling’s finer qualities.) Jodie Foster plays her role in The Silence of the Lambs like a master chess player, always on the defense and always on the attack. She knows when to make sacrifices and she knows when to stand up for herself. She grows in confidence over the course of the movie, as one mentor fails her and another, more unlikely mentor gives her the strength she needs to carry on. And she does it all while fighting back a hint of an accent. Clarice Starling is a real person, and she is also an act, and she is acted by one of the greatest of all actresses, operating at the peak of her abilities, giving a performance for he ages.

I thought it was dreadful. A lack of suspense, and it totally demystified Lecter. And don't get me started on the 'brain eating' scene... Did you like it?

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

HackneyShark I've never seen it, but I agree that Lecter has lost his mystique since HANNIBAL, HANNIBAL UPRISING (which recounted his woeful childhood/youth), and the recent HANNIBAL TV series. I hate the trend of trying to justify or redeem villains, e.g. Wicked Witch of the West in WICKED, Maleficent, Michael Meyers in HALLOWEEN remake, etc.

Hannibal was a fantastic movie. It followed the books except it should've let clarice and hannibal run away together at the end ;)

[@LiberianStreetwalker]

+HackneyShark I totally agree with you. She didn't want to work in Hannibal because she felt that she would be betraying Clarice by doing this piece of trash and playing such a different character. I also admire her even more for that. And I agree with everything you said, she's definetely one of the greatest.

Everyone knows Jodie was a gifted child and is smart and highly intelligent and that always reflected on her choice of roles. Even as a young actor from her teens she did films like Taxi Driver, Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane and then as a young adult when actresses of her age like Demi Moore or Meg Ryan were doing fine but somehow stupid romantic comedies, she was doing The Accused, The Silence Of The Lambs, Nell and then she was directing as well which was seldom those days to see a young female + actor to helm a film as a director, she's a complete genius and a role model everyone should have, her extraordinary career is something to behold and her cerebral qualities are to be worshiped, I hope she gives acting more time now like she gives to directing.

[@nomhrs3314]

I agree but she's pretty & strong. was just looking up what she was in everything from television to movies. so much. I like Nell & Silence of the Lambs im not sure but they may have thought she very young ok lets make her just out of the academy might have been a role for a woman 5 or 10 years older. very innocent and evil is the silence of the lambs.

[@cityofchamps66]

winning 2 academy awards allows someone the right to pick and choose different roles-Contact, Anna and the King, Nell, Panic Room, Inside Man and The Brave One are pretty solid performances, you could say the same thing about Hiilary Swank

I'm literally in love with the way she gets up from her seat and proceeds towards the stage, even her she exhibits she's a genius with such rapid reception

This woman is complete perfection and Hollywood secretly envies that

Yet they also rewarded her with a stellar career in it. Hm...

I’ve loved Jodi Foster ever since I first watched Silence of the Lambs when I was 13, I’m 42 now. The film scared me shitless but I knew she was a phenomenal actress.

[@aaronwilkins3511]

they should have stood for her as they did Anthony Hopkins. as always here she just oozes grace and incredible confidence and humanity in speaking to a room. she is just amazing and in my opinion no actress has been as consistently powerful in their acting since she was in her prime

[@LiberianStreetwalker]

Aaron Wilkins Very much agreed.

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

👍👍 but they only stand for blacks or old grandpa

[@TimeIdle]

It was her second Oscar is 3 years, so they might have felt that she's enriched enough.

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

Aaron Wilkins so true but in the end they no she's superior to all of them and it can be sidelined coz she's young

Jodie Foster la plus française de mes actrices américaine préférées ;)

She's so humble.

I swear she is the best at giving a speech so gracious,articulate and yet humble , and she doesn’t take up al, the time to get it out , love her ❤️💜

Susan Sarandon rolling her eyes at Michael Douglas will never get old.

[@loveanimals6981]

Jodie Foster was brilliant in this role! I heard that director, Jonathan Demme, was initially interested in Michelle Pfeiffer for the role, but Jodie ended up getting it. I love Michelle Pfeiffer but Jodie Foster was born to play this role. I would've loved seeing Susan Sarandon winning here a few years earlier than she did (because I love her, too... and especially in Thelma and Louise), but there's no disputing Jodie's win as being deserving.

[@shihlin1]

Love Animals Michelle Pfeiffer was first choice in those days to play a lot of great roles. Turning this one down probably came back to haunt her.

[@peshmadscientist1833]

Jodie seems to like these macabre films like CONTACT, SILENCE of the .. ETC and i think michele PF. would somehow take away from the seriousness of the film. I think she can turn any piece of crap into something noteworthy just by being there.

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

Love Animals weirdly, Jodie Foster and Michelle Pfeiffer were the first choices to play Thelma and Louise, with screenwriter having written the role of Thelma with Jodie in mind but Ridley Scott found her a bit younger for the part

[@shihlin1]

@@peshmadscientist1833 You should rent "The Brave One", Jodie was even BETTER than Silence. But the movie tanked at the box office, so her performance went unnoticed.

@@siddharthnaagar7028 He's right, she was too young for the part.
