[@MrDevintcoleman]

The terrifying symbolism of Lecter being the most powerful character in the whole movie while, almost, constantly being completely restrained is enormously effective.

[@royalewren]

"The scenes between Lecter and Clarice are basically seduction scenes. They play, oddly enough, as if they were lovers. They only touch one time in the entire movie, in their last scene when he says goodbye to her- when as he hands her back her notes, he touches her finger. And it's almost a shock to the audience, when they touch. But these scenes, you would approach almost as if you were writing a sort of courtship between two lovers." - Ted Tally, Screenwriter for The Silence of the Lambs

[@GarytongueBetz-vl1fu]

Did he not read Hannibal? They literally become lovers in that book. Thomas Harris ALWAYS "shipped" them! This is why Jodie Foster refused to do the sequel even though Ironically they don't *spoiler** end up together in the Hannibal movie.

[@astragalusson]

At the end, she got a name called mrs litman or something from the 1st victim's friend and went there to talk to the woman who knows her. It's because she figured out he had to know his 1st victim personally, she was investigating her acquaintances to ask them if they've met or seen a man fitting the description or possible names of Buffalo Bill. Clarice was there to ask that Mrs Litman the same things.

[@treetopjones737]

Buffalo Bill was inspired ( as was novel & film "Psycho" ) by real life killer Ed Gein.

[@blakewalker84120]

23:12 "I think it's funny that they still call him 'doctor'. He is a doctor but he is a prisoner now. I think they wouldn't call him doctor." Yes, they would. One of the first priorities of any GOOD corrections officer who is in charge of keeping prisoners is to make sure the prisoners stay calm. One of the best ways to do that is to offer simple dignities, like using proper titles for them. it's a tiny sign of respect but it goes a long way to keeping calm and cooperative prisoners. Corrections officers who don't understand that are the ones who don't last long in their jobs.

[@AvilaDreamer]

I watched this movie in the theater when it came out - I couldn't sleep at night for a week. It still creeps me out today. Jodie Foster has said the reason she wouldn't act in the role of Clarice again in the sequels was because the first movie terrified her so much. She actually didn't spend much time filming scenes with Anthony Hopkins (that was mostly editing) and even avoided him on the set because his character creeped her out so much. Amazing actors and roles in this - and terrifying. Great reaction to this psychological thriller, Evie! See you again soon!

[@jonmcnabb6421]

actually i think its because in the book shes suppose to have love affair with cannibal even though holly wood didn't portray it that way Jodie felt that to go against the way the movie was made would betray the character of clarise

[@NoKoolAidForMe]

I saw this in the theater when it first came out... the whole audience erupted into cheers and applause when the camera turned on Dr Chilton and we all realized that HE is going to be dinner!

Wrong, they didn't communicate in character. Most of "their" scenes are shot of of them talking to camera.and not actually to each other.

[@dabe1971]

Re: The misdirection with the door - the best misdirection in history BTW. Crawford thinks he's solved the case and so his ego completely disregards her information assuming he must be right. But he should've know what Lector knew - that Bill wouldn't be stupid enough to stay at the same address as his moth cocoon's were being shipped to once the FBI intercepted the package. He relocated to Mrs Lippman's house who Starling had found out the river victim used to work for as a seamstress. The fate of Mrs Lippman herself is a little confused. In the novel she died of natural causes but left the house to Jame Gumm but in the movie it's long been believed that he killed her and it's her corpse rotting in the bathtub in a very quick shot as Clarice pursues him into the house. Only when they find themselves at the wrong address does Crawfords ego crack and he realise that Clarice may in fact be the one who solved the case - and is in mortal danger as a result.

[@kellifranklin4432]

Lecter gave clue after clue during this whole movie. When he tells the senator "love your suit" he's telling everyone what BB is doing. Genius!

[@eviereacts]

ohhh that's good!

[@dk240996]

Another one he drops to Clarice almost right away, saying "That's the Duormo, seen from the *Belvedere*". The newspapers would definitely mention the first victim being from there, so Lecter must have suspected Bill was from there as well.

[@leeswhimsy]

"He didn't even call her to tell her all this?" - This was before cellphones. She didn't have a "cop" car with a radio....Also, as far as the killer knowing all the girls, No he didn't. Hannibal said We START by coveting what we see every day.

[@hdtripp6218]

Cool thing director did was have men look directly into the camera while talking to Clarice, giving us her point of view and how uncomfortable she feels

[@eviereacts]

So true!!

[@Haldurson]

Manhunter was the 'original' Hannibal Lecter movie, and is way underrated and absolutely fantastic. Silence of the Lambs is definitely a great film, so I don't mean to downplay that. But you called this film the 'original' and it's actually the second film.

[@De5O54]

Brian Cox was brilliant in the original. (He is from Dundee) Extremely highly rated actor. I like him, he came from hard beginnings. The telephone/ stick of gum scene is so well done, a stand out performance.

[@Cbcw76]

And the climax of MANHUNTER is so powerful, as is the scene of the 'loaded' rolling office chair. ahem.

[@moonlitegram]

True. But Manhunter was a complete flop at the box office and was virtually unknown when this came out. This was the film that solidified the series in the cultural zeitgeist and its one of the main reasons Manhunter grew in popularity and is more well known today.

[@GarytongueBetz-vl1fu]

No, manhunt us extremely over-rated.

[@movieman1556]

Exactly! Brian Cox nailed it. He played Hannibal with just the right amount of tension. Very underrated performance and film!

[@MrHritz]

The movie you saw in the early 2000's was Hannibal Rising, which is the most recently made movie, but a prequel to the story shown in the three "main" movies; Silence of the Lambs, Red Dragon, and Hannibal.

[@damon6126]

Wonderful reaction, Evie. Seeing your face when Lector removing Pembry's face in the ambulance was awesome! I absolutely believe you'd love the books from where these characters originate. Author Thomas Harris first introduced Hannibal Lector in this 1981 novel Red Dragon, which was later made into a movie called Manhunter, which was then remade taking the novel's name Red Dragon, starring Hopkins, Edward Norton, and Ralph Fiennes. As great as the Silence book is, Red Dragon is even better, in my opinion. Knowing you like true crime and the forensic field, I've no doubt you'd thoroughly enjoy those books as well as their "sequels" Hannibal, and Hannibal Rising (which tells the origin of Lecter). Can't wait for your next video. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go grill some lamb chops. 😄

[@treetopjones737]

A movie was made of Hannibal Rising ( the origin story ), with a different, younger actor.

[@KT926]

She found the house because Buffalo Bill used to work as a tailor for Mrs Lipman just like Fredericka Bimmel (the first victim) and she spoke to the girl who also worked for her. The girl told her about Mrs Lipman and where she lived, it turned out that Bill was now living in Mrs Lipman's house. It was confirmed for Clarice that he was Bill when she saw the moth settle on the cotton reels.

[@Cbcw76]

That little penknife Hannibal picks up in the cell has a small blade, perfect for a skilled surgeon (or butcher) to slice around noses, eyes, nostrils, lips, etc. "Ready when you are, Sgt.Pembrey!" The follow-up film to this - HANNIBAL - offers a greater lesson in Disembowelments and their place in history. Especially in one Italian family's history. I think of many evenings I strolled in Rome after dark. Without an umbrella. Well... no more...

Don’t ever say “shoot for the leg”. You shoot center mass because you’re way more likely to hit under stress, it doesn’t move around as much and a wounded person can still kill you. Even a shot to the leg can kill someone anyway.

She found Buffalo Bill because he took over Mrs. Littmans house and that's who she went to go see, was Mrs. Littman. The FBI went to Biffalo Bill's known residence that he no longer lived at. That was Mrs. Littman in the bath tub.

[@TheinterfaceTvSeries]

She talked to Frederica's friend who told her about Mrs Litman. So she went to Mrs. Litman's house not knowing that Buffalo Bill was living there.

[@janekotoole8751]

To clarify the climax: So how Clarice and Crawford end up in different places is they're following two leads: Crawford and co. are going to the address Bill used to ship the moths to, but becuase he's not an idiot, he obviously used a fake address. Clarice is following Hannibal's correct assertion that serial killers often start local, so she's reexamining Frederica's case specifically. After she finds out Crawford's raiding a different location, she wants to go join him, but he tells her to keep looking into her lead to gather more evidence.She didn't know he was going to be there, but she was going to knock on every door for info so she'd almost certainly have come across him eventually. Also, shoot the leg is a terrible move. Movies and TV have convinced us that being shot in a limb is, like, a minor inconvenience, but plenty of people have died from being shot in their extremities, and even if it's not fatal, the wounds can lead to lifetimes of problems. You do that to an innocent person, that's your career, plus you get to carry it on your conscience forever.

[@jacobjones5269]

Lector is fascinated with Clarice from the beginning, and needs to know what drives her.. And that’s what the movie is really about.. An unstoppable force in the form of a 5’3” female..

Everyone was Hannibal's puppet the entire movie. He hated Jack Crawford and made sure to rob Crawford of any credit in capturing Buffalo Bill. 35:11 "Clarice!" - This was the moment Jack Crawford realized he had been played by Hannibal to go to the wrong house while accidentally sending Clarice to the right house. Hannibal knew Crawford was using Clarice the whole time. Hannibal made certain Crawford would pay for using Clarice as his 'grunt investigator' while he attempted to take all the glory for himself. By sending Clarice to the right address, Hannibal knew one of 2 things would happen 1) Clarice captures Bill and gets all the credit - or 2) Bill kills Clarice and Crawford receives heavy public backlash while Clarice is honored for dying in the line of duty. PS: Hannibal knew the beach offer from Clarice was a lie. He hinted across in their dialog that he can tell when she is lying. PPS: Hannibal broke off the pocket clip from Dr. Chilton's stolen pen to pick the handcuffs.

[@swagromancer]

Both Clarice's Smith & Wesson Model 13 and Buffalo Bill's Colt Python are double-action guns, which means they would not need to be cocked separately before being able to fire. However, they _can_ be cocked manually if desired by the user. I think buffalo Bill just did it to draw out and savour the act of killing Clarice, because he's a deranged psychopath. Clarice, being a trained professional, just pointed her gun and pulled the trigger, without any theatrics.

[@sublimetulii23]

Fun fact, shooting someone in the leg can be just as deadly as shooting someone in the chest because of the arteries running down the legs can cause serious blood loss. Bullet trajectory can change once it hits the clothes & or skin. Bullets can ricochet off bones & pieces of bone fragments can cut arteries. Shooting at the legs is more difficult because they’re smaller targets. Shooting someone in the leg doesn’t necessarily stop someone from moving or still being deadly either. If you’re going to shoot someone, it’s because the person is an immediate deadly threat or causing serious bodily injury to you or others & you want them to stop immediately. You keep shooting until the threat stops. The best way to stop deadly threats is shooting them in the chest area. One shot to the leg can be used against you in court as an unjust shooting because it will be argued you didn’t actually think they were a deadly threat. Also, shooting unarmed people in the back isn’t smart unless you can verify for a fact they’ve committed recent violent crimes, are a danger to others & currently threatening other’s lives with a deadly weapon. Based on her knowledge at the time, she couldn’t shoot him when he ran.

Something to perhaps keep in mind; prior to this point in time, women rarely had jobs in law enforcement beyond desk jobs and meter maids. Female FBI field agents were pretty damned rare. So, on top of the whole serial killer aspect and the fact that Starling is a smaller person, there's an extra layer of vulnerability to her character simply because she is one of the early women to be breaking into a formally all male world.

I read the book before I saw the movie, but when Clarice Starling walked up to Hannibal Lechter's cell, I was stunned. Just standing there, he radiates Menace, looks at people as potential prey, doesn't blink his "shark-dead eyes," and gets into Clarice's head toot suite. Actor Ted Levine should have gotten AMPAS attenion for his "Jame Gumb" role and "Goodbye Horses" dance. 39:28 Have YOU ever "had a friend for dinner"? I see that you "walk on the dark side of the street" when it comes to movies. How about something lighter? Romance: "Casablanca" (1942), the animated Life: "Up" (2009), trying to get someplace else: "October Sky" (1999), facing your legacy: "Galaxy Quest" (1999), making a friend: "The Iron Giant" (1999) and taking stock of your life: "Wreck It Ralph" (2012).

[@veggiesaremurder]

The "shoot him in the leg" thing often comes from people who know nothing about firearms. Even the most well-trained person would find it nearly impossible to hit that small of an area, on a moving target. It's also often more deadly to shoot someone in the leg than other areas of the body, because the largest artery runs through it, the femoral artery, which causes a person to bleed out in a matter of a few minutes. She also couldn't legally have shot him at that point, because he was unarmed. Police can only shoot someone who is an imminent threat: running toward you with a knife, pointing a gun at you or a member of the public, trying to take your gun, etc.

[@GarytongueBetz-vl1fu]

Wrong, dumbass. First off the femor is a human BONE. Second, she most definitely could shoot him unarmed, police have a lit3ral license to kill, plus it was just the two of them. No one could prove the circumstances in which she would have shot him. He is a serial killer. No one would care and assume he attacked her.

[@royalewren]

This is in my opinion, one of the top three movies of ALL TIME. It won the big five at the oscars, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Picture, and Best Screenplay. Phenomenal work of art with amazingly complex characters and Jodie's portrayal of Clarice is something we will never see again - Clarice Starling is a very complex and relatable character who isn't overpowered, impossibly strong for her size- but rather an intelligent individual who is relentlessly embracing her femininity. Through her pure intentions and authenticity, Jodie's character became a symbol of divine power motivated by pure desires to save weaker individuals in her world. Despite the fact she will never be as physically strong as the men who tower over her, she preservers because she sees saving other innocent lives as a parallel to saving the lambs. The whole point Jodie was trying to make was that in the past, since women didn't have the strength or "heroism" that could compare to men, Hollywood often resorts to crafting lazy, unrealistic female heroines (i.e marvel women) who possess unfathomable qualities and don't come across as relatable at all. Besides this, often the only redeeming quality of women's characters in film is their attractiveness, or their relevance is limited to being as the love intrest to their male costars. The Silence of the Lambs changed that when Clarice Starling appeared on screen. The producers took the time to flesh out Jodie's character, Clarice, thereby allowing this talented actress to portray an authentic female role who embodies the characteristics of someone motivated by a well-developed moral compass rather than such trivial, one-dimensional motifs (a relief for audiences). She is then juxtaposed against her male colleagues, almost all of whom are motivated purely by advancement rather than the cause itself.

[@rabooey]

Yeah, she ate the lamb. All that lamb-screaming made her ravenously hungry so she stole one to butcher for herself in private, so she could start slicing it up and eating it while it was still alive and kicking. You cracked the case, amazing detective work!

[@gunmetal2890]

I don't believe with side arm training police and other agencies are taught to shoot anywhere else but the biggest mass of the body (chest) mainly because the chance of missing the target can be higher most expect, even at relatively close range. It is easier to miss if aiming anywhere else. It would seem to make sense to shoot the legs but when every bullet fired has to be accounted for, could mean your career or worse, but when in crisis hold aim at the chest and fire only if/when necessary.

[@skyhawksailor8736]

If you shoot someone who has a gun in the leg, they can still shoot you. The object is to stop the threat and law enforcement is taught to shoot in the body mass for several reasons. One of the main reasons is being hit in the chest most times will cause the person to fall backwards, but at the least put them off balance. Trying to hit a moving target on a small part of a moving body, such as a leg is hard under stress of life or death. Also hitting the femoral artery might stop the advancing bad person with a gun, but the person will still die in as little as five minutes.

Of course they’d still call him doctor!

[@De5O54]

The word ‘doctor’ literally means ‘teacher’.

[@De5O54]

Very well made film. Well paced, edited and outdoor photography. Jonathan Demme directed version of the Thomas Harris book. Hopkins has real acting chops. This is the only fine acting role i have seen ever of Jody Foster - other than the overhyped but fine film Taxi Driver. Probably 15 years earlier. I just found your channel. Well done. *_/Thumbs up/_*

Cannibal Dad Jokes are the best.

Props to Ted Levine for his portrayal of Buffalo Bill. Hard to believe he is also Stottelmeyer on Monk.

"Did she eat the lamb?" That was adorable.

[@eviereacts]

Was very worried about the lamb for a hot second there 🐑

[@vermithax]

@@eviereacts Hah! Well, eating a lamb is pretty good way to silence it.

Though not the first movie to include Hannibal (Check out Michael Mann's Manhunter, an adaptation of Red Dragon from the 80s), Silence is the most acclaimed and the first to use Hopkins as Hannibal. Hopkins reprises the role in Hannibal and Red Dragon. When your TV schedule opens up, I highly reccomend the show Hannibal, with Mads Mikkelsen as the titular character. It's 3 gorgeous seasons.

[@Cbcw76]

1996's MANHUNTER was the first, five years earlier. It's most highly recommended.

[@onepcwhiz6847]

It made that click sound when he tucked. It's in the unrated version.

36:31 I could be mistaken, but I think they teach them not to shoot unless there is an immediate threat, I don't think it is considered appropriate for them to shoot otherwise. And when there is they teach them to shoot in the torso, no the leg, for several reasons. One is that if someone is attaking you or someone else you don't want to risk missing the shot and giving them time to attack, so they go for the bigger part of the body. Another reason is that even shooting them in the torso doesn't always stop the person immediately, the adrenaline of the moment (and maybe even illegal drugs) sometimes prevents people from feeling the pain immediately, so they keep going. I saw a police body cam video in which a guy was running towards a police officer (if I remember correctly he had a knife), and the officer shot him like 6 or 7 times in the torso, but the guy kept running as if he was fine. It took a little bit for the guy to drop. Shooting them in the leg is even less likely to stop them, and if you shoot them in the femoral artery by mistake you might kill them when you just wanted to immobilize them. And killing an unarmed man who wasn't attacking her is probably not great for her, even if the guy is a murderer.

36:31 The paths of bullets can be unpredictable, and legs have femoral arteries. When Hannibal Lecter stabbed Roger "Gnocco" LeDuc in the femoral artery, he died quite quickly. I don't think it would be a good idea for FBI agents to go around shooting people in the leg just because they _think_ they might be a bit naughty.

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. Dr. Lecter was treating Clarice 8. Others will pass this to you as well but: This movie won ALL 5 of the big Oscars.😎 Levine should have gotten best supporting.

Law enforcement coperated with a real serial killer: Ted Bundy. He offered them help in the Green River Killer case, since both had been active in the same area and both had done, let´s say disturbing things with the bodies of their victims. Some information Bundy provided was useful, but after a time, the authorities had the impression, that he was playing for time and ended the cooperation. They even show one of Bundy´s methods of overwhelming his victims. He feigned an injured arm and ask young women for help transporting something. If the agreed, they never were seen alive again. Fun fact: the captain of the SWAT team is the singer and guitarist Chris Isaak.

[@GarytongueBetz-vl1fu]

Wrong, dumbass. Hopkins and Jodie weren't even in the same room.together during that scene, dumbass. They are speaking directly to camera, not to each other.

[@onepcwhiz6847]

I don't understand why the Senator would be mad. They were trying to save her daughter's life.

[@merlin9943]

The FBI went to Gumbs home. Clarice went to, Fredarika Bimmels home,NOT realizing the killer was there when she knocked on the door.

[@Alex.P1]

Definitely in my top 5 favourite films of all time 😁

8:17 A "Rube" is like a country bumpkin.

[@De5O54]

Beetroot (slang colloquial term) for that word. Yes a rural non-urbane ‘country bumpkin’.

[@GarytongueBetz-vl1fu]

No, It is an unrefined Hick.

[@foxpaw1]

she didn't know they were going to the wrong house. the fbi director told her see what she could find in Belvedere to link the 1st victim to the suspect they wrongfully thought it was following Lecter's misdirection

[@glen1ster]

22:58--Roger Corman

[@GarytongueBetz-vl1fu]

Yes, it's the second book's adaptation of Hannibal. Also second film with the character in it.

[@USCFlash]

"He threw...that was semen, right?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sure seemened so!

[@tfpp1]

36:32 - I'm not an expert, and perhaps others can chime in, but the problem with that approach is that the leg is a much skinnier target to accurately hit, especially when it moves very quickly as someone runs. Plus, you'd be surprised how far sheer adrenaline can get you, sometimes a bullet doesn't really slow a person down. Like, I get where you're coming from and I'm sure your heart is in the right place, but it isn't always that simple, though I wish it was.

[@kusarigama7899]

Not only that DonutOperator did a whole video on the subject and it drives me nuts when people say shoot the leg. It is just like the people who say, "Shoot the gun out of the hand!" The leg not only is smaller and is moving like you are pointing out but the leg has a lot of veins in it. If you miss the veins and say hit the femur on or with a glancing blow those fragments would then, most likely, shred the femoral artery at bare minimum which would cause life-threatening blood loss. Edit: I should point this out for people who will then go, "Shoot the arm then!?" Arms have a main vein as well. This is why police shoot center mass 1) Less chance of overpenetration 2) In the event that a mag dump (which a lot of departments are trained to do) has the highest chance of a person surviving.

[@newffer]

You NEVER shoot to wound, if you have to shoot make it count.

[@johnprater8191]

its sounds like you might be similar to me in that we both like true crime i wanted to be a forrensic investator when i was younger but i was not smart anoth i have always found this kind of think very interesting . its whats in the mind that is scary and utterly facinating . i loved your reaction to this and i could tell from your reactions at times what you were thinking great job. karisse was following a lead from the girl she spoke to and was going to speak with Mrs lipmen who i think is the one in the bath tub . its when she sees the moth in the house that she puts 1 and 1 together and relizes who he is. I dont know if you have seen the SAW movies but they are great and its more whats in your head than whats being shown. if you like antony hopkins i would watch the fastest indian the subject matter might not be your thing but its a little film and shows how great of a actor he is. and it shows a little about New Zealand my country.
