The Silence of the Lambs is Great! - Talking About Tapes

Tony and Johanna review The Silence of the Lambs. In this Podcast / Movie Review of The Silence of the Lambs they will talk about the things that make this movie fantastic! Stuff like the excellent casting, how it adapts the source material, and the top notch cinematography.
Jodie Foster stars as Clarice Starling, a top student at the FBI's training academy. Jack Crawford (Scott Glenn) wants Clarice to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath, serving life behind bars for various acts of murder and cannibalism. Crawford believes that Lecter may have insight into a case and that Starling, as an attractive young woman, may be just the bait to draw him out.

I watched this with my family at 7 years old...Tony isn't alone

[@seraphim_croc]

Every time Tony calls his mom he has to make sure that his mom knows it’s Tony from Hack the Movies.

[@ashleyp3662]

Fromhackthemovies is his second name its Italian

[@smalltownfilms]

She's also sorry she's not Italian

[@TVsMrNeil]

"Hi, Mom. It's your son, Tony From Hack The Movies." My new theory is that FromHackTheMovies is just his last name. So his mom, whose name is Mom, is Mom FromHackTheMovies.

Hello. My name is Tony from Hack the Movies. You killed my Rental Reviews. Prepare to Talk About Tapes.

[@midnightsoftware1904]

wow great equation, mine is like Hack which could just be a variable or x of whichever hack or movie nerd delves into a film or any art form really, "The" is a variable which represents that exploration into a specific medium but is the exploration itself into whatever x is lol and "Movies" takes on a shape similar to like a Kundalini serpent and completes what the equation sets up in its namesake lol but also like insert any name or "Hack" into a review retrospective, and blamo nice meta joke to boot :)

Hi Tony from hack the movies

[@MrWalksindarkness]

I thought Tony died in a kumite like a year ago, super happy to see you're still alive

[@futuremovieactor]

Actually with 2002's Red Dragon-and for the record, I haven't read any of the books yet, you get a very fascinating arc for Crawford: his pushing Graham to use his empathy skills to reconnect with Lecter and solve the mystery of "the Tooth Fairy" while The Silence of the Lambs has him desperate to protect Starling-young idealist kind of cut from the same cloth-from Lecter in that he doesn't want him to screw Starling up the same way he did Graham. On the flip of that though, Lecter while resenting-or rather being disappointed with-Graham was wanting to lash out at him for both capturing him and rejecting the desire to become like him, he was not wanting to physically harm Starling while also wanting to coax her to his side. Interesting how while Starling in the film version of Hannibal doesn't ultimately give up her principles in a system she knows was badly compromised and corrupted and yet is not too upset that Lecter got away, she in the book version is swayed to his side because she ultimately does accept how broken and unworthy that system is in the end and that's it's no longer worth fighting for too.

[@josephstaszczyk409]

Tony you need to do more movies you love. You were gitty as a kid on Xmas reviewing this. One of your best vids so far in my opinion.

[@JoshuaWeirdo]

Brilliant! Keep on being awesome you guys.

[@nickmesogianes4638]

Hannibal and Clarice love and fear one another. I love how this movie captures that idea with their interactions and subtle facial expressions. Not to mention in the books, there was a line about how Clarice is the only woman hes ever feared and loved, the way she let him into her life. Its hard to explain everything but thats my take and im sticking to it

[@theitfactorjameswheezer2852]

Well they literally do fall and love and runaway together in Hannibal and she becomes a cannibal like him in the book.

[@milksands]

Good film, good video.

[@TheSlasherJunkie]

So Dino actually had nothing to do with this, which is why we have all the sequels and prequel and the tv show. Dino lost so much money on Manhunter that he passed on Silence, where Orion picked it up. Because Silence wound up being such a phenomenon, he made Hannibal (the movie) trying to recoup his losses. In doing so, the only actor who wouldn’t come back was Jodie Foster. The TV Show lists De Lorentis as an executive producer, and Brian Fuller wanted the fourth season to have Elliot Page as Starling hunting down Lecter and Graham prior to the events of Silence. Since that relied on getting the rights to Silence, he simply moved on to Star Trek, where he met Alex Kurtzman. With this handicap, Kurtzman went to a different network and approached them with the idea of bridging the gap between Silence and Hannibal 97- which should be interesting because pretty much the whole of that movie is already in season 2 of Hannibal. From what I can gather, the only connection between the two shows is Characters created by Thomas Harris. As an aside, the Colt Python is a Single Action / Double Action, so it CAN function in both capacities but double action simply cocks the hammer with the trigger. That clicking is going to happen regardless.

[@javaly78]

It’s interesting that right at the scene where they talk about the officer talking to the other officer without the face, Tony jumps to talking about the Krooger actor from Seinfeld, when he just missed that the actual officer was the Sidler character also from Seinfeld.

[@eatsnme]

Don't worry Tony I was also into batman and silence of the lambs mad early in my life. Batman since 3 years old and silence of the lambs since 7 years old. It made us appreciate good films and cinema in general. My parents couldn't afford baby sitters so the agreement was I'll rent u whatever u want if u listen stay home and do your homework till I get home from work.

Not gonna lie, Tony pushing for the Alien 3 review is definitely working on me

[@floyd2386]

A few weeks ago I got together with my friend, his wife and one of her friends and had a "few" drinks. I don't know what started it, but I busted out my Ted Levine impression and started talking like Buffalo Bill and Rusty Nail (from Joy Ride) to creep out my friend's wife. I lost my voice the next day, but it was worth it.

[@heisensaul5538]

Glenn Scott was going to be Clay Morrow in Sons of Anarchy and they even shot the pilot with him in it. It was then reshot and the part of Clay was recast to Ron Pearlman. Loved the series, so it was an upgrade imo :) Johanna if you want to watch a show where the "portagonist" makes Tony Soprano likeable by default, you should check out The Shield. Vic Mackey is ummm..... something and his tactics as a police officer are questionable at best. I'll leave it at that lol
