[@SS4Luxray]

Obviously Sir Hopkins gave an all timer performance, but we can’t overlook Anthony Heald’s performance as Dr. Chilton. His facial expressions and mannerisms are so good. The way he shows off Dr. Lecter, almost like he’s a science project. Great acting from Heald.

[@Danleesixoneonetwofive]

I love this film more and more. Jodie Foster is immensely talented as well. I love how she is able to portray a strong woman but not make it distasteful and overbearing.

Heald has played a couple of disreputable characters. He does this with that smile and the glint in his eyes.

[@stefanmovieflixtomasi]

The GOAT 🐐 of Hannibal franchise

[@BingoLumpkin-u4v]

The scene is brilliant. He’s basically just toying with the both sides while feeding them tidbits of useful information. He blames Jack Crawford and Clarice making them look accountable for wasting precious time, toys with the Senator, insults her, feeds her a little bit of hopeful information, and then compliments her suit all for his own entertainment. He’s literally playing a game with these people.

I like how that part of the conversation doesn’t really produce much beyond Lecter managing to annoy everyone and enhancing his own sense of amusement :)

[@Global_Pivot]

Dr Lecter looks completely unimpressed that Dr Chilton could not find his pen. This is worse than all the terrible treatment he has received from Chilton. Lecter can’t wait for an opportunity to have him for dinner as a punishment for clumsiness.

[@alertgasper]

Lector knows where the pen is, but hides the victory well.

[@sgtpepper3161]

I feel like Dr. Lector hates that Chilton calls himself a "Psychiatric Professional" Like he gives the true understanding of human psychology a bad name. A shame coasting on certifications with no real knowledge nor care to understand. Just reaping benefits.

[@kb4903]

The jet sound in the background is great addition.

[@arkay238]

For a man who loathes rudeness, he sure went after the senator, who was otherwise being very gracious with him. She didn’t understand it was part of the quid pro quo game he likes, so of course she was immediately offended. In Clarise’s case, she understood the ‘rules,’ so was more willing to tactically share personal details as a way to extract information.

[@cristiansegovia9058]

Exactly

[@pukeachu]

This was before Harris and Hollywood torched Lecter's character, by trying to turn him into some sort of anti-hero. This scene showcases his hypocrisy and remorselessness

PHILLY

[@patrickc3419]

Have there ever been any instances, at least here in America, where there have been criminals who are so dangerous in which such major security measures have had to be implemented? (the full restraints, surrounded by numerous armed men, etc.) Or is it hyper-exaggerated for horror/thriller movie effect?

[@jayphurs-stuff]

Ted Bundy, Timothy McVeigh, Eric Rudolph, Richard Ramirez, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, El Chapo and terrorist detainees for september 11th. yes

[@jayphurs-stuff]

to name a few

[@evelynwaugh4053]

Yes, it's just a fictional representation. One of the problems during trials is the lack of security precautions partly because it's considered prejudicial to the defendant and partly because custodial staff can get complacent doing the same procedures over and over. They deal with evil people so much that they can underestimate their dangerousness; evil starts to seem almost normal. Bundy escaped from custody twice, and Israel Keyes managed to commit suicide in custody.

The thing about this scene that bothers me is he looks NOTHING like he does in other scenes. His hair is darker, significantly, and he is thinner. Which makes me think this scene was filmed after primary filming concluded.
