[@JoshuaMartian-go3tm]

9:08 the women act like that never happened to them before. haha 🤭😜

[@JoshuaMartian-go3tm]

Right before Dr. Chilton leaves the cell, he says "clean him up and get him ready to go" to the orderly. Which suggests he was released from his restraints and allowed to shower and or change clothes. So that would have been the moment Dr. Lector stole the pen Dr. Chilton left on his bed.😉

[@anthonyhudak9363]

25:35 Chilton left the pen in the cell because he's an idiot Also fun fact: The one wall eyed bug scientist is in the book and by the end, him and Clarice start dating

[@FarikoWishless]

Realistically there's no easy answer for what do when you see something shady just as the women want to get home to their family so do we. Many of us have stopped another man for being creepy or aggressive. But many men and women just stand there recording and yelling for someone else to do it due to crowd psychology. But when you're alone its even more hard to know when. Wish it was easy to know what needed attention and when we could crowd jump someone lol. Men feel fear of dying on the way home unless you have the ego to feel safe in an area you know but if its unfamiliar those types feel far less confident anyway. Women unfortunately have a different layer of fear that's not just death although (in America) that's scarily statistically more likely with someone you know already. So awareness in all life is needed it takes effort to not be afraid of everything yet be aware sadly. PSA Just as a tip men and women please don't think men are invincible they are murdered far more than woman for a few reasons. Even if one might be there to help be ready to fight. We are often raised to help people but women saying they wont help for fear and we should feels dismissive to how risky that mindset becomes with how many men got shot or stabbed. If he goes down you still need to live. EVERYONE needs to carry something even if its a knife some people are actually IMMUNE to pepper spray don't only rely on it I tell my sister the same thing. AND FIGHT DIRTY. Eyes bones anything LIVE! USA has so many guns that you should simply get your own by this point but learn the discipline for when to use it. Too many people whip them out for simple arguments. Of course if just faking being someones friend will save them though we all should do so.

[@anthonyhudak9363]

Fun fact: During the scene where Clarice is telling Hannibal about the titular “silence of the lambs” the point where she says “I thought I could save just one” you can hear something hit the floor behind them. A crewman accidentally knocked a wrench over and the director panicked that it would ruin the scene, but Foster remained in character until the scene was called cut and she immediately shouted “What the hell was that?!”

But he doesn't do it *for* her, it's not a gift or flirting. He wants her to feel comfortable coming back. He doesn't want her to have to walk past Miggs to again.

[@theeLonelyRedPanda]

It could also be that Clarice never once tried to mislead/lie to hannibal once. She was a straight shooter from the jump, talked with him idk if equal is the right word but she talked with him as a person, and him being a former therapist that probably just did wonders. with the test she asked him straight up although he called her out for asking to early tho. That one agent literally told her if you had an agenda he'd know. Fast forward to the deal" pretty sure she didnt know but i think hannibal knew it was bs and his face could be interpreted as they mofos really tryna play me or damn they really playing you starling to play me.

[@stephenhumphreys9149]

@@theeLonelyRedPanda Well, she absolutely did lie to him about the offer that she said was from the senator! She even helped make it up - Hannibal called her out on the disease research centre bit being her idea.

The point of Clarice getting chastised about not checking the corners, is due to it was in HER zone.

It did however receive four nominations for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress (two in each category). Pretty sure it's the only film in history to receive four acting nominations for women. There are only three movies in history to win the Big Five Oscars: The Silence of the Lambs (1991), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), and It Happened One Night (1934). Everything Everywhere All at Once came pretty close, but it fell one short and missed out on Best Actor. It wasn't even possible for it to win the Big Five, because there were no nominees from the film in the Best Actor category.

Yeah, regardless of what anyone might think of him, and his actions, he still earned his doctorate. It’s also a matter of respect, and courtesy, which Dr. Lecter values. He may consider himself above a great many petty things, but he still seems susceptible to some degree of flattery (as long as he detects the proper sincerity behind it). Is he always aware of that susceptibility? Honestly, I’m not sure.

Hannibal had no romantic feelings for Clarise. He got human contact from her, as well as respect. She always called Hannibal Dr. Lector.

I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that he had "no romantic feelings" for Clarice. He clearly he had romantic feelings towards her. He also had respect and an intellectual curiosity. Their interactions had a lot of elements that led him to feel drawn to her, but there was definitely a romantic element for him. You don't even need to read the books to pick up on it, as they are distinct works from the films. I think the movie is pretty clear without beating you over the head about it.

[@TriXJester]

So fun fact, the asylum prison corridor set is actually located at the Hollywood Museum in Los Angeles, and you can walk through it and into Hannibal's cell.

The whole Dungeon of Doom exhibit is pretty neat really.

[@かまさき-i5s]

80% just joking around, 20% talk about the movie

[@allmightylowercasejay1138]

The framing of scenes with Jodi Foster was done to show she was in over her head. You have remember she was still a trainee, Clairce is a POV character and severing as the Avatar for the audience. As always Micky is reading too deeply into something he doesn't fully understand, When clearing a room you are responsible for your own Zone which she fails to do because she's still in Training!!! It wasn't a way to show she was some how less than as a woman it was to emphasize SHE'S STILL LEARNING THE ROPES BECAUSE SHE'S A TRAINEE!!!! This is a basic storytelling tropes its not rocket science and you don't need to dig that deep. You establish she's bad at something then when you get to the showdown with Buffalo Bill the scene is more intense playing into what Pat pointed out she she wasn't clearing the rooms right and now you earn your victory when she defeats the villian and is rewarded at the end.

[@genida951]

33:43 - If I recall correctly, Hannibal Lecter was a trauma surgeon before he became a psychologist. He's also depicted as being a very skilled cook. So yes, skinning someone's face off with a pocket knife seems feasible. Had to be hell of a sharp knife and the mangled result was probably an intended and welcome side effect, so quite a bit of acceptable margin.

good job, rana, for noticing how they shot the men. i forgot which reactor noticed how creepy the guys all came off in her POV. i didn't even realize it, just that it felt uncomfortable.

It’s just a POV shot, they shoot her roommate and other women the same way too. The only guy that was being creepy towards her was Chilton. You guys have some unresolved issues.

My brother in law is very jumpy, and rarely watches horror movies. We convinced him to watch SoTL, with the lights off. Knowing the basement scene was coming up, I sat silently in the kitchen for half an hour so that he could forget I was there. When the basement light shut off, and Bill was about to reach his hands around the back of Clarice’s face, I snuck up behind him and timed it just right to reach my hands around his peripheral vision. Years of watching him play basketball, and I had never seen him jump that high. 🤣🤣🤣 Took him 20 minutes to calm down enough to finish the movie. I never scared him again. Figured there was no topping that.

Mickey, she didn’t check her corners. She was in the wrong. When clearing rooms each person has their own section of fire, Clarice overstepped and was covering the section of fire of her partner (the guy to the right). She should have been covering the left section of fire and corner which was her responsibility. This is standard protocol for room clearing.

"It's odd seeing Anthony Hopkins in a scary role." Oddly, back in the 90s, for the audience it was the other way around. After this he did stuff like Remains of the Day and it was hard to shake Lecter from our minds when we saw him in anything else.

[@snowdenwyatt6276]

He's had a few scary roles but this one stands out. "Magic" is probably his second best scary role and it lags pretty far behind - although his voice work for the ventriloquist dummy is pretty cool.

[@st0n3p0ny]

Was worse for Ted Levine as Bill. It killed his entire career. Same thing happened to Geoffrey and Malfoy. They nuked their career by being too good in a particular role.

[@BJMurphy]

​@@Square-ow7oqnews flash: thrillers can also be horror. Not all serial killer thrillers are horror, but when it involves fictional cannibals, that's a very specific subgenre of horror.

[@Square-ow7oq]

@BJMurphy i saw your other condescending comment. And idk why you want so bad to call this a horror film. Maybe because you like the genre and this movie is so prestigious, you want so bad to the genre to be validated or something. Horror is my favorite genre, but this is not a horror movie. This is a thriller. News flash, Having a cannibal is not an automatic way to classify a movie as horror. Bones and All is not a horror film.

[@Zeik56]

This is definitely way more of a thriller than a horror movie. Having cannibals does not automatically turn it into a horror movie, it just makes it a thriller where a central character is a cannibal.

as for the movies: the order is Red Dragon Silence of the Lambs Hannibal (The movie, not the tv show)

[@a.r.t93]

+ The prequel "Hannibal Rising" in 2007. Michael Mann "Manhunter" is a good adaptation of the Red Dragon novel, also

[@spacenerdtrue]

You're right chronologically, but (sticking with just the Hopkins franchise), Red Dragon is after Hannibal in release order. For this specific franchise, I feel like it's better to watch in that order. Although obviously read the books in order.

[@jenk4545]

Hannibal the TV show is a prequel to everything else.

[@snowdenwyatt6276]

@@jenk4545 Due to it being set prior to Hannibal being arrested, yes. However several of the stories of the TV show are "remixes" of the various books and do not follow the books chronologically (for instance they adapted large parts of the book "Hannibal"). The alterations are due to the fact that the studio that owns the rights to the Clarice Starling character (and SotL) didn't want to play ball.

I shudder to think how they would write an incredible woman in the protagonist role today if this were remade. THIS is how you write a great character. Flawed, relatable through experience. Not just ham-handed monologues about "misogyny" or soapbox moments where people literally spell it out for you. WE, the audience get to go through everything Clarice had to go through. This makes her story timeless. The audience gets to 'feel' the discomfort of men judging her with their eyes. Even if you are man watching this, you can relate to it instantly. It's visceral. Masterful filmmaking.

[@johnsmith-nn2hs]

Isn't it a bit odd that she runs off with Hannibal in the book of the same name (changed in the movie version). Such a romantic couple from day one, right? 😂

Hannibal TV show reaction PLEASE!!! It's not reacted to enough and it's SO FREAKING GOOD!

[@floraposteschild4184]

This was a time where there were very few cameras anywhere, let alone in some hotel ballroom. This was supposed to be temporary confinement after the brief meeting with the senator. It would have taken days to set up cameras then. As far as having both guards in the cell in the same time, Hannibal could easily overcome one person, so I assume they thought two was safer.

[@Acorn_Anomaly]

(About Hannibal) "I was expecting more out of him" Yeah, it's funny, isn't it? Hannibal is SUCH a compelling character, and has such an amazing presence in this movie, and yet, he's only in less than 15% of the movie. Anthony Hopkins got an Oscar for his performance, and he was barely in the movie. And yet, he's the first thing anyone thinks of when they think about this movie. Very iconic. Definitely earned that damn Oscar with that performance.
