*THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS* WAS SO GOOD (AND DISTURBING) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@motherofcats2712]

Great reaction! Fun fact: Jodie Foster wanted this part after reading the book. The director absolutely didn’t want her and instead offered the part to Michelle Pfeiffer, who turned it down. Then he offered it to Meg Ryan who also turned it down. Finally, he gave it to Jodie who then went on to win an oscar. He also won best director. There’s some interesting interviews on yt with the director.

[@floraposteschild4184]

Michelle would have been okay, but I can't fathom how much Meg would have been wrong. Overall, Jodie was the best choice.

🔥 Please react to : _Hannibal Trilogy_ - The Silence of the Lambs (1991) - *Hannibal (2001)* - Red Dragon (2002) _BONUS TRACK_ 🔥 *The Bone Collector* (1999) || starring Denzel Washington & Angelina Jolie 🔥 *Law Abiding Citizen* (2009) || starring Gerard Butler & Jamie Foxx 🔥 *Seven (Se7en)* (1995) || starring Morgan Freeman & Brad Pitt

[@mztweety1374]

Hannibal rising. They say it’s not all that great but it does explain the beginning… the poor child had more issues than playboy.

[@mztweety1374]

Suspect zero is also really good

[@sebastianandres8781]

yes please! i agreed +2

[@nancydup]

12:01 I have been working for a funeral home for nine years now. I have seen some disturbing things, things that have made me cry and want to quit, but there is a rewarding side to it. I never thought I would say that when I started working there all those years ago, but, if you have the gift of empathy, you can do a lot of good helping to console the families who have lost their loved ones. Thank you for saying you have respect for people in this line of work. And, as always, thank you for your reaction videos. I’ve been following you for a while now, and I adore you! 👏🏻

[@Keedeeg]

Thank you for your service.

[@SadieMccollough-mf3jl]

Isn't it sad that some of the hardest jobs, that require so much heart, are the least respected?

[@BigGator5]

"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." Eww... Fava beans. Gross. 😝 Fun Fact: The rules for speaking with Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Sir Anthony Hopkins) is the same as the rules for speaking with Ethan Powell in Instinct (1999), a role also played by Hopkins. Awards Milestone Fact: This is one of three movies to win the top five Oscars: Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Picture, and Best Screenplay. The others are It Happened One Night (1934) and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1975). What Script Fact: Jodie Foster claims that during the first meeting between Dr. Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling, Sir Anthony Hopkins's mocking of her southern accent was improvised on the spot. Foster's horrified reaction was genuine since she felt personally attacked. She later thanked Hopkins for generating such an honest reaction. Law Enforcement Cooperation Fact: The real-life FBI's Behavioral Science Unit assisted in the making of this movie. The FBI saw it as a potential recruiting tool to hire more female agents. They were very impressed by this movie's accuracy in depicting criminal investigations, serial killers, and their victims. However, they disagreed with Clarice (Jodie Foster) discovering Buffalo Bill (Ted Levine) on her own, because inexperienced agents would never be sent out alone on dangerous assignments.

[@FreeDonaldTrump1]

I worked the census a couple times 2010 and 2020. It sucked especially the 2020. No one likes strangers showing up at their door in the modern day. but at least no one ate my liver! So if you don't like strangers showing up at your house then send in the damn form! You send in the form and more than likely you are good.

[@violentlycreamy]

30+ years later, this film is still amazing

[@ethanself2667]

Your reaction reminded me of how I felt watching this for the first time. You would be so fun and cute to watch movies with 🥰

[@jamiewilson9280]

‘His eyes are that of the devil!’

[@julieschuler2575]

I was in 11th grade when this came out and I used to go to the mall or the movies every Friday or Saturday night. I absolutely loved it and told everyone to go see it. After this I wanted to see everything Anthony Hopkins was in. I didn't think I could love him anymore than I already did until I saw him in The Remains of the Day. Give it a whirl. He can convey so much with such great subtlety,

[@craz4rock]

You definitely should give Seven a try! It’s one of my favorite psychological thrillers and soooo good!

[@ABoomerReacts]

I second Se7en. You absolutely should react to that.

[@maggiemm8867]

Third

[@mamakat114]

This is a movie I can watch over & over again! Btw. At the fire pit during family Reunions, we always quote the "lotion in the basket" whenever someone has to pass something to anyone else😂

[@ElsieValentin-p2z]

This won 7 Oscars both Hopkins & Foster won for the best actor/actress, best film, director, etc. One of my fave films & actors. You need to watch part 2 HANNIBAL you will enjoy it....peace ✌️

[@ukulele_cheri]

Have you seen 'The Lovely Bones'?

[@valkyrie1066]

Hi there! When my daughter was still a toddler, we didn't really bother to censor what she watched, and this movie particularly fascinated her. We went to blockbuster (speaks to how long ago this was) for her to pick out a movie. Two adoring elderly people were watching her, and saw her with a copy of Silence of the Lambs. "Oh, NO, little girl, you don't want to watch THAT movie....." She proceeds to tell them that she's already seen it and that they found the killer because he put a special moth in the girl's throat. They were HORRIFIED. Well, she'd worked her way through all the Disney ones...a very down to earth and practical child, she felt free to ask questions. About EVERYTHING. Serial killers? Yeah. WHY? She asked. I told her that's the point, that we've been trying to figure out why. Don't give up, Migs gets his comeuppence. Rude boy. I want a bumper sticker that states "Eat the rude." Ted Bundy would get girls to help him by wearing an arm sling. Male dominated; yes, upon discussion with a real agent...I told him I was aware they chose her as BAIT, but added that it worked, though she made several critically stupid moves. He was disueding me against the fantasy of being a female agent. Not to worry...I don't want serial killers knowing my name and face, thank you. I'm more of a labwork/research person. The staff showed her little respect, she was...disposable. Still liked the movie! And Jodie's just hot. Really wish she had done the sequal, though I understand her hesitation about taking the role. NOBODY wants Precious to get killed! NOT THE DOG screams the entire movie audience. I love the way he plays Hannbal Lector. The man is cool, articulate, educated, suave, intelligent, fascinating, compelling......and TERRIFYING. You know he's going to mindrape you. Thank you for sharing your reaction! I've seen it dozens of times but I love sharing it with someone who hasn't seen it. ❤

[@jameshunt9208]

Indeed, and it's great, because they didn't try to make this beautiful woman stronger than men or any of the other weird stuff they do nowadays. She was incredibly intelligent, proficient with a firearm, and had the bravery to do what needed to be done. Starling (and Jodi herself) used her talents well and it's inspiring to see.

[@maggiemm8867]

I was one of those girls like your daughter! I loved this movie as a child bc it was like the psychologist had superpowers.... understanding another person's motives... I loved it!!!!!!

[@jeffreymatthews6051]

Awesome reaction. If you liked this you will love the movie “Seven”. Keep up the fantastic work. If you want something older but still wonderful check out “Fatal Attraction “. It was so big back in the 80s. Love and prayers

[@hallaburger]

one of my favorites!! got my little snicky-snack and turned you UP!

[@hallaburger]

a++ for clocking chilton as the freak he is in like 30 seconds 😂 one of the nastiest characters in the hanniverse

[@larrybell726]

“That actor”…. Yes, that would be Sir Anthony Hopkins, one of the finest actors on the planet…. Ever 16 minutes on screen in this movie and he won the Oscar that year for best actor. Great reaction, loved it! Glad to subscribe.

[@jc296x]

I always took the title as ... her not being able to rescue her lamb as a child and that screaming haunting her. Then later in life she has a chance to save something/someone and keep her from getting killed and she hopes that memory that haunts her goes away.. pretty much exactly what Hannibal said to her. Btw another edge of your seat thriller with incredible acting ... "Misery" .

[@Jodie.DeHart]

I knew you'd love this! I voted for it:) You're so perceptive with reactions, Mike, and you were on top of this movie every step! Only horror movie to win 3 Oscar ( or Academy..?) Awards! And the most amazing thing to me, no special effects, no CGI. I watched this at the theater when I was 19.. you could hear a pin drop in that theater, everyone was so invested! I believe it was 1991. Good laaawd, I was jusssa baby back then!😂😂😂🎉🎉

[@christopherschreiber5805]

No one ever forgets the first time they see him in the back of the ambulance bc everyone pretty much does the same thing. You go "how?" and then it clicks, and you literally almost jump out of your chair. Masterpiece. Glad you enjoyed.

[@mezmerized4lifejay654]

One of the best serial killer movies! You need to watch “SEVEN” next. It’s just as good and severely twisted

[@italoblu]

That door switch rocked EVERYONE’S worlds when this came out.

[@deenormus1975]

Yaaaay! I knew u’d love Silence! I saw this in the theater for my first date w/an upperclassman in HS. I was obsessed w/this guy & he finally asked me out. He let me choose the movie and since I’d read the book & LOVED it, I chose THIS. Come to find out-he scared easily & REALLY hated anything suspenseful(😂) or serial killer-y. 😃Poor guy was terrified the whole thing🤭. He ended up being my high school sweetheart so it worked out, but funny he was 2 years older & scared af. And I was all into it🥹

[@jameshunt9208]

I'm glad it worked out.

[@hallaburger]

you should check out the hannibal tv series next~ it's excellent, and the casting is Perfection

[@ellie.v9765]

Jodi Foster is amazing in another older film called Panic Room! All the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mztweety1374]

This movie, psycho, and the Texas chainsaw massacre are all based on one dude. His name was Ed Gein, and he was definitely a mamas boy. He only killed two people technically, but what he did with their bodies and those he dug up.😮😮😮😮

[@auxaus4613]

Great reaction but I subscribed at 9:01 when you hilariously butchered those lyrics 😂

[@jennifergrove2368]

Can you do the sequel?

[@ProfDanielVargas]

I agree! He should do the trilogy, both the sequel and prequel, they're great!

[@whendays659]

Great reaction! I strongly recommend the Hannibal TV series to add to your reaction channel. Sooo good.

[@PhoenixFit2024]

What’s bizarre is in the books Hannibal and Clarice become lovers. 😊

[@warrenjohns3194]

time to do nightmare on elm street

[@t.j._fury]

I don't think our sweet baby boy was ready for this movie! ❤ lol 🎉🎉

[@auntydale]

This won Oscars for best actor, best actress, best director, best adapted screenplay, and best picture.

[@Kenyon712]

The victims were like the lambs Clarice tried to save as a child. They were being slaughtered, silenced, and skinned. Clarice had to save at least one. She didn’t let fear or danger stop her from what she needed to do.

[@Kenyon712]

He found her intriguing. She was a little female and she was relentless in trying to save victims. She ignored all her fears and the disrespect and sexism of being in a male dominated field. He wanted to know why she was who she was. He got to know her upbringing and trauma. It was satisfying to him.

[@jameshunt9208]

Indeed, and she didn't try to "outman" the men. She used her own skills and bravery to do it despite not being as physically large or strong as a man. This movie portrays her story awesomely.

[@SummerSolstice621]

Great cinema stands the test of time. Great reactions too. And yes, Mr. Hopkins indeed ate! 😂😂❤

[@littleboxesmadeoftickytacky]

👏 Sir Anthony is amazing in everything he's in 😊 .... I think you'll love Se7en for sure and some older thrillers like single white female, the hand that rocks the cradle and fatal attraction 👌

[@eighthdoctor]

Great film choices; don't think I've seen anyone react to _The Hand that Rocks the Cradle_ at all!

[@littleboxesmadeoftickytacky]

@eighthdoctor midnight reactions reacted to it a few weeks ago but no I've not seen anyone else do it and it's such a good movie!

[@GreenBayPack]

Such a great film. It doesn't seem like much, but the way Jonathan Demme shot a lot of the scenes, especially through Clarice's perspective, with very up close and personal camera angles made the scenes that much more uncomfortable. Almost giving you the feeling of being violated. Brilliant.

[@francesmacdonald2234]

Any movie that Anthony Hopkins is in is amazing. He is a shapeshifter. Look them up.

[@Kenyon712]

The pen was left in his cell. After they left, they took the restraints off before they got him ready to leave.

[@mamakat114]

"Love the Suit" I take that as, you're Daughter has been kidnapped & you took the time to do your hair, make up & put on a suit" if my Daughter was missing, I'd run. Out the house in sweat shirt& pants, hair in a loose bun. Anything to nit delay ti.w.

[@Lilith6416]

Watch Alien

[@lincolnlewis6979]

I actually syt through this twice (back to back) when it opened, and didnt quite grasp it fully. I didn't realize how great this movie was until i watched it again and again over 20 years later..it is a masterpiece.

[@Rayray-kj9cc]

Such a classic!! Great reaction!!!

[@SmileyAdventures]

Another great reaction again! I’m so happy I subscribed to your channel because your genuine work shows in your reaction. You seem so sweet and down to earth! Do you take suggestions or have a Patreon where we can vote for movies for you to watch? ❤

[@turnupthemike_]

i remember seeing this comment and couldn't forget to come back to it! you are too sweet, thank you so much! i do take suggestions and often do polls on my community tab so lookout for those and feel free to share any suggestions in the comments! 😊

[@Keedeeg]

My slightly less-than-fine azz is having a non-sober fine day. Albeit, I used to be fine a.f., but something about being almost 60 just did something to my metabolism...and why am I talking about this; could be because I'm less than sober. It's a really good movie. I hope you enjoy it. I'm sure I'll enjoy watching your reaction. PS. Not a criticism. I've watched all your Game of Thrones reactions and it just dawned on me that you ask a LOT of questions. I suppose we could answer them now since you've seen the film. I'm just so used to not answering anything lest I spoil something for you. I'm gonna back away from the bar/meds now. Again, enjoy!!

[@solomoon3083]

Hahahaha. This is the best comment ever.

[@jameshunt9208]

Hope you feel better soon. 🤷

[@turnupthemike_]

you still fine as hell, i dont wanna hear it! and yes, i do process out loud a lot by asking questions lol but usually get the answers by the end. if i dont, pls read me in!

Please react to "Seven" thriller with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman

[@sallyramirez8938]

One of my favorite movies! You should read the book, it's an amazing read. ✌️

[@jodyalaniz]

Please watch the sequels!

[@IsmaelSilva7]

Great reaction Mike!, watching this movie is such an experience. Please react to more detective thirllers they're so cool: Prisiones (2013), Seven (1995), The Bone Collector (1999), The Game (1997), Knives Out (2019), Shutter Island (2010).

[@eighthdoctor]

Great picks, especially _The Bone Collector_ - I haven't seen anyone react to that one yet and it's so underrated imo.

[@turnupthemike_]

thanks friend! couple of these were actually already on my list!

[@fabianbianchi9159]

You should react to the Hannibal series with Danish Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal Lecter... that is awesome.

[@ShelbySays]

Loved watching with you. This movie is fantastic. Foster and Hopkins are impeccable

[@HopelesslyBenedicted]

I was only 7 or 8 when this came out, so I didn't see it until nearly 10 years later when I was in high school. But I have always been into mysteries and thrillers so I thought it was amazing. I went on to read the book series, but in a weird order (I read Hannibal first). I think my favorite film in the series is Red Dragon though, Ralph Fiennes is AMAZING in that one. Would love to see your reaction to it! Thanks for the reaction, and I'll add to the many comments who have suggested Seven as a film you might like! It's darker and grittier than this one but Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt are great in it. Keep up the great work!

[@7BearSarah]

This is my favorite movie of all time. I’ve always had a fascination with true crime but cannibalism really turns my stomach (as it should) so I never watched this movie until my early 20s when I was hanging out at my parents’ house and my dad was like “you have to watch this. It’s a classic” and he was right. Anthony Hopkins is an absolute icon. Any time anyone mentions fava beans or Chianti, my while family does the little teeth sucking thing Hannibal does.

[@Maybetomorrow22]

Omg my favourite film! I’m so excited to see this reaction

[@ShelbySays]

Anthony Hopkins is in "The Mask of Zorro" with Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta Jones. It's a another wonderful 90s movie you'd enjoy!

[@solomoon3083]

I just love your attention to detail. Especially with this CLASSIC!

[@alexkuball2593]

How can you not love this guy? GREAT reaction. I had so much fun watching with this guy😊

[@maggiemm8867]

Lolol this movie was part of my childhood. I remember actually having to give a speech at school on what you wanted to be. I reference this movie.

[@Spida_Chapplliinn]

LETS GOOOO MY NUMBER 4 on my list of favorites

[@Fairygrl_TW]

Hey M, Hoping ur fine a$$ is having an amazing day also. Both guys r terrifying, but Hannibal is one who draws u in with his brilliance so makes him much scarier to me. Great film, great reaction. Thanx so much darlin', take care, Peace

[@williamjones6031]

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.

[@annephillips8494]

When I saw him in Flubber I Lmao.Love Ted, fair play to him.👏👏👏

[@TimL-nr4hr]

This is the first time you've seen Anthony Hopkins? I'm just now watching him in King Lear on Prime, but he's been in a ton of stuff. Titus for more bloody things, but also Thor. He played Odin (and in Thor 3 he played Loki for about 14 minutes). Granted, he's not acting like Hannibal Lector in other movies. He's also cool in Lion in Winter which is an older movie. He plays King Richard. I don't know if you can react to the Hannibal tv show (I believe that one has a serious copyright ban hammer going on) but that's another take on the character - it's basically every Hannibal story except this one put together.

[@reginastogner9535]

The sequels and the prequel to this movie are actually pretty good. You might want to consider them for future reactions.

I read the book before going to the theater to see the movie. "I need some candy because I am gonna throw up!" I had to subscribe to you :D
