@@Sarah_Gravydog316 Hannibal was creepy. He took advantage of people with emotional and mental problems. He was a manipulator and killer. He also ate people. Buffalo Bill was creepy. He also tortured and killed. He took people's skins. Both were villains in the extreme sense. Chilton was an egotistical fool with delusions of grandeur. Trying to advance at the expense of others. Creepy, not so much. Villain? Maybe, but nowhere near the level of the others.

[@AdamFishkin]

Remembering the first time I saw this, thinking, "okay so this is the only horror film to win the Best Picture Oscar, hit me with your best shot". What I've always appreciated is that it doesn't aestheticize the murders or bestow the main killer with godlike powers. Buffalo Bill is just a messed-up guy who's processed his issues in an unhealthy way, and the FBI agents (rather than being heroes of an epic nature) are just people who all have to follow procedure ... the one time Crawford bends the rules for the greater good ends up backfiring. In the end they catch Bill not by exercising brute force, but by collecting information until the entire picture of Bill's rampage becomes clear. There's also Dr. Lecter, who seems larger than life but is really using tactics he learned as a psychologist to make his victims' own minds do the work for him. Then you have Dr. Chilton, a severely unprofessional man whose ego endangers lives as much as the killers do. It's not a hyper-realistic film but it's closer to the truth than what audiences are given by most slashers and thrillers. No jump scares. As you pointed out (at 4:03) the most disturbing moments are when you don't see what happens. Because a lack of information is how a killer remains at large.

Anthony Hopkins often played doctors and professors, intelligent men, so this role was a natural for him, combined with his skills to play both charming and creepy.

[@jodi2847]

Love how they let Clarice have flaws to overcome, like not checking corners and getting corrected and embarrassed by her superior. It makes Lecter's reverence and belief in her all the more potent.

[@freemansteinslab]

I have always believed that Clarice became immediately suspicious of Bill as soon as he told her his name. Her demeanor visibly shifts upon entering, even before she sees the other clues. Crawford literally just told her that Bill's real name is Jame/Jamie Gumm aka John Grant...then Bill introduces himself to her as Jack Gordon. It's very common when people choose aliases, to choose a name with the same initials as their real name, as it's easier to remember and less likely to mess up...hence both his pseudonyms also have the initials JG...and I think she picked up on this.

[@3lipalm3r]

The lotion bit of bill yelling wasn't scripted. The actor said he felt genuine sadness and was almost brought to tears by the girls performance, so he screamed his line so as to not tear up.

[@CanadaBoardGame]

Fun Fact: The slurping sound Hopkins makes after saying "fava beans and a nice chianti" wasn't in the script. It was just something he did, and they kept it in the movie. I recommend you watch the video on KZbin about the making of this movie. It's very good.

[@deckofcards87]

Great reaction. I read the Thomas Harris book in high school and it stuck with me in long time. One of the greatest novels ever written, imo. Foster and Hopkins were beyond perfectly cast for the movie! It's interesting how Lecter, in a sense, nurtures and trains Clarice almost like a father figure (you get more of a sense of this in the book though). He wants her to catch Bill by essentially offering her a theraputic breakthrough which advances her career. Yes, it's ultimately for his own selfish gain but because he finds Clarice intriguing and respects her enough to leave her alone to live out the rest of her life. These are complex characters and Frued-ian themes. The sequels aren't nearly as smart unfortunately. 'Hannibal' the book, however, isn't a bad follow up and 'Red Dragon' which is the first book in Harris' serial killer series is very strong. Michael Mann's 'Manhunter' (1986) is an adaptation of Red Dragon, with Brian Box as Dr Lecter. You should check that one out it isn't as masterful as Silence but a good crime movie in it's own right.

[@maplenutsreact]

You're so right! I really love how you explain the relationship between Lecter and Clarice

The book is fantastic too. It sets things up so well and then never lets up. The film really captures the spirit of it, notably the slow introduction of Lecter. He's like a mythical being almost, and then by the time he escapes, even though he's been sat in a cell the whole time, we know he's an absolute monster that's gonna unleash havoc.

I'd imagine you've seen at least a few of them.

[@DanJackson1977]

The first movie in this seires was "Manhunter" (1986) by Michael Mann, based on the book "Red Dragon"... Brian Cox of Sucession plays Lechter in it.. much different take on him... more 'realistic psychopath', less over the top monster like Hoskins. Brett "Rush Hour" Ratner remade it under the books name in the early 2000s with Hoskins but definitley check out Manhunter first

[@scouseofhorror104]

Fun fact the Belvedere rabbit picture in the first scene with Hannibal was Hannibal giving the town that buffalo bill is living as he was found in Belvedere by Clarice. It shows that even from the very first instance Hannibal was in total control of everything

[@SG-js2qn]

This is such a classic movie. There had been a little bit about serial killers before, but this is what turned it into its own genre. And now everybody knows what a serial killer is. In terms of career roles, I compare Anthony Hopkins' performance here to Val Kilmer's in "Tombstone." Completely different films, of course, but career roles for both of them as supporting actors.

[@emwa3600]

When you rewatch this movie, we see that Hannibal is standing over the beaten guard, looking on the floor for something. Ah there - a small penknfe.. white handle. "Ready when you are, Sgt Pembry." That short blade, in a surgeon's hand, can cut around ears, noses, eye-sockets, jaw and chin lines. Perfect for mask-making. Also... HANNIBAL (2003) is the follow-up film and we are treated two lessons. The first - an exploration of disembowelment in history, particularly one certain Italian family's history. And we're treated to a meal that reminds us that some of the finest restaurants have the chef visiting the patrons' table, preparing the steak right there, over a portable flame. Mmmm... how delicious!

[@emwa3600]

The first Hannibal film is is 1986's MANHUNTER with William Petersen, Dennis Farina and the awexome Tom Noonan as that film's serial killer. THAT film is another masterpiece of suspense, and a powerful closing magnus opus as the climax. This film was remade in 2002, replacing 1986's powerful cast with lesser but bigger named 'stars'. I consider it the far lesser film but it's interesting to see how milquetoast characters (like Edward Norton's thin, bleached out personality compares to powerful William Petersen ultimately, how a weaker villain compares to Tom Noonan...

[@TheTerryGene]

I recommend Manhunter, a film by Michael Mann. This is the first version of Red Dragon, a book that introduced Hannibal Lecter (played by Brian Cox). Also, I suggest 1955’s Night of the Hunter with Robert Mitchum in a great performance as a crazed, murderous preacher in the 1930’s south.

[@waterbeauty85]

17:03 In the book, Clarice tells Hannibal her father was a marshal who was killed when he surprised two burglars and that he couldn't stop them from shooting him because he accidentally disabled his shotgun by shortshucking it when he racked it. When Hannibal asks her why her father didn't have a pistol he could use to defend himself when the shotgun was disabled, Clarice reluctantly tells him that her father didn't have a pistol because he was a NIGHT WATCHMAN. Then she defensively insists that he REALLY WAS A MARSHAL because the want ad he answered to get job said "NIGHT MARSHAL." This and how testy she gets when Hannibal discerns the truth about her coming from "poor white trash" during their first meeting, show that Clarice feels embarrassed by her family's poor background and is very sensitive about status and socio-economic class. It's a secondary and disposable part of her character motivation in "Silence of the lambs," but it explains why her character has chanced into such a different person in the sequel "Hannibal."

[@Tateorsomething]

Hands down my favorite film. Saw this in theaters with my cousin when I was 14, and I've loved it ever since. Another creepy thriller/horror film you may "enjoy" is Seven (Se7en) from 1995.

Regarding the last shot: I had a wonderful opportunity to attend a special screening of "The Silence of the Lambs" at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, hosted by director Jonathan Demme and legendary film critic Pauline Kael. As Lecter strolled off into the distance in casual pursuit of his "dinner guest," Kael jokingly asked Demme if he'd forgotten that the camera was still running.

How about a movie that I think *should* have won the Oscar? The Talented Mr Ripley It was the only time I'd ever seen any Oscar nominee prior to the actual ceremony... and I'd seen two of them: the one above and American Beauty. American Beauty won but, although that was a good film, I still think the Talented Mr Ripley should have won. Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow and that guy who played Truman Capote (I can never remember his name). It's a thriller, and that's all I will say. If you haven't seen it you might want to put it on your list. I don't know if you can watch it for free anywhere but maybe you can't because not many people have reacted to it.

But the real joy is watching the Netflix series, MINDHUNTER. This is the story of John Douglas, the man Jack Crawford (Jodie's boss) is based on. He goes into prisons around the country and interviews serial killers - a true story of the beginning of the FBI Profiling Division. The interviews are amazing and taken from the transcripts. Real Hannibal Lecters, chilling, crazy, smart, dangerous, they are all different. He is using this new method to track down serial killers with his partner. Based on his book.

[@XionDarkblood13]

I have said this before on other reactions but I’ll keep saying it, Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal lecter is the PERFECT gold standard of how a traditional vampire should be. He’s obviously not a vampire but he is a monster. The facade of humanity to hide the true monster is PERFECT! Vampires have always had a very sexual subtext and the stealing of something personal. It’s blood for vampires but for Hannibal it was trauma. Something very intimate that should only be shared with someone you trust is exactly what makes vampires so evil. His sophistication and intelligence, his absolute obsession with propriety and manners are the perfect combo for a vampire lord. His disgust and hatred of others of his kind as animals, multiple miggs for Hannibal and the vampires who are just power tripping fools playing at being a monster are a perfect parallel. How easily he killed miggs is the kind of thing a noble vampire would do to another, lesser, vampire who would be so rude to a guest. It shows the power difference and authority so well, that he is grouped in with these people by technicality, but he is far more than those feral beasts. More sophisticated, more intelligent and far more dangerous. In this Hannibal is a prodigy but it could be so easily transferred to how long vampires can live and the sheer amount of experience they can draw on. If I could get a dream series, it would be prime Anthony Hopkins starring as a vampire lord in a Game of Thrones style show set in the “Vampire: the Masquerade” universe or something similar. All the rules and politics of that setting would be such a great series. Get fucking Matt Smith to be an unhinged vampire villain again, now with his House of the Dragon experience and *chefs kiss*!

[@myroselle6987]

The book is brilliant and the film is brilliant. The subtlety that the film makers employ does justice to the characters and the story without the blatant gore and shock factor that they could have used. Lector is such a deep character. I’m not sure that “evil” is the proper word to use in regard to him. He’s more of a force of nature…like a tornado or a flood. The relationship between Clarice and Lector cuts through everything and reaches the humanity that’s in every human being regardless of the circumstances. The humanity that Clarice touched in Lector is the heart of the story. The details in the book that would have been impossible to film flesh out all the characters but the film certainly does a respectable job of it as well. This book/film has always meant a lot to me for many reasons and I’ve truly enjoyed watching it with you all.

He is best known for his roles as Jame Gumb in the film The Silence of the Lambs (1991) and Leland Stottlemeyer in the television series Monk (2002-2009). Levine's other notable roles were in the films Nowhere to Run (1993), Heat (1995), Bullet (1996), The Fast and the Furious (2001), The Manchurian Candidate (2004), Memoirs of a Geisha (2005), American Gangster (2007), Shutter Island (2010), Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018), and The Report (2019). After his breakout role in The Silence of the Lambs (as primary antagonist Jame Gumb), there was a period where he was typecast in villainous roles. Levine was able to gradually branch out into other types of roles such as a member of Al Pacino's police unit in Heat and astronaut Alan Shepard in the HBO mini-series From the Earth to the Moon. In the drama Georgia, he played Mare Winningham's husband, one of his most sympathetic roles. In 2001, Levine performed as Paul Walker's police superior Sergeant Tanner in The Fast and the Furious. His résumé also includes an uncredited role as the voice of the sociopathic trucker "Rusty Nail" in Joy Ride, also starring Walker.

I remember when this came out and I was a kid my mom didn’t want me watching this movie. When I got older as a teen I was at my friends house. I told him I never seen the movie. He let me borrow the movie. I love this film and so good. I forgot all about the movie and bought it on Bluray last year and watched it. The actor that plays Wild Bill was also in Fast and Furious. I didn’t recognize him but I will always remember that deep voice lol

Good reaction. As you noted, this is an incredibly powerful and well put together film, with stellar performances from both Hopkins and Foster (and in fairness, from Ted Levine too, portraying the frighteningly unhinged Buffalo Bill). Although it definitely has gory moments, it manages to be far more horrific and jarring than any actual gorefest horror film. I think it's true that part of what it makes it so much more scary is the relative realism - that there really are people as inhuman as "Buffalo Bill" (with his love for his dog but not for other humans) and Hannibal (with his intellect coupled with twisted reasoning and outbursts of sudden but calculated, brutal violence). On a tangent of lighter relief: if you like comedies and parodies, you really should watch National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon - as the name suggests, it's a parody of the Lethal Weapon series (so good to have watched at least the first two of those too first) but also various other early 1990s films, and there is a hilarious scene parodying the famous segment where Clarice visits Lecter in that stone prison corridor. Knowing how shocking the original is (as you've just seen), it makes the parody even funnier. Loaded Weapon is under-rated and not enough KZbinrs react to it, IMO.

What a great film! Both Hopkins and Foster were of course incredible, but the rest of the cast did a really great job as well! Jodie Foster's portrayal of Agent Starling ended up influencing Chris Carter when he created Special Agent Scully of "The X-Files" fame. In the early episodes, Scully even has a similar hairdo. 😄 Thanks for the reaction!

"Love your suit" is one of those great lines that only becomes so amazing when you know what Bill is actually up to, then realize Hannibal knew too and was taunting the senator with it. Its amazingly layered too, when you consider the feminist and gender role undertones of the movie.

Seven & 2 Korean films, "I Saw the Devil" and "OldBoy". I highly emphasize the Korean version of oldboy and definitely not the american remake.

[@beatmet2355]

I’m a fan of the series, Monk, and it blew my mind that Stottlemeyer was Buffalo Bill

I love the fact that Lector would never hurt Clarsie Funny but he seems to respect her.
