    What’s really unsettling is that he is waiting for her. He’s not caught off guard. He’s not scrambling for answers or anything. He is in complete control. The camera angles that make him appear taller than Clarice also drive in that fact. And then he stares at her. Rather he stares at us. Breaking that ever so sacred 4th wall

      And control of the scene is illustrated visually in the amount of the screen the character takes up. The "no, you ate yours" moment caused the camera to pull back from Lecter as they jockeyed for position.

  • @LokRevenant

    I love that he adopts her accent. It’s such a power move.
    And identifying prey based on scent is SUUUCH a predatory thing to do.
    Ugh. Hopkins was so good in this role.
    Edit: It’s fascinating that Lecter is both a psychiatrist and a cannibal. He feeds on his victims both literally and psychologically.
    Edit edit: Even though she’s still a trainee, Lecter calls her “Agent.” Love that.

    @Ferenczys 2 года назад +191

    I had a very different interpretation of the final scene. You desribed it as Lecter perhaps taking a protective role over Starling, but I don't think that's what's happening.
    In the moment, Clarice has just experienced two very upsetting events in quick succession: dismissal by Lecter and being assaulted by Miggs. She's at her absolute most vulnerable at this point, and what does Lecter do? He shouts for her to come back, and extends for her an unexpected olive branch.
    He's not trying to protect her; he's taking advantage of her emotional state to set himself up as someone she can trust. He offers his help. He uses his raised voice to cut through the chaos of the moment and provide her some direction, and she obeys.
    I do agree that part of this is sincere. Lecter abhors rude people, and what Miggs did clearly violated his sense of propriety to the point where he later kills him, but it's hard for me to look at this situation and not see Lecter being supremely manipulative.
    Great video. Loved the analysis.

      This is a very good take on the situation and it seems likely this may have been what he set out to do, but as the book/movie and even series continues, he does fall into that protective role. With Lector, you will always be guessing :P

    • @kellharris2491

    I love that technically he did the same thing as Miggs, smelled her intrusively and got off on what info he got then degraded her. He just did it "politely".

  • @mikegould6590
    @mikegould6590 2 года назад +64

    I think the reason Dr. Lector calls Clarice back after their failed dialogue has been revealed in your own argument: He viewed Clarice as his "guest". Hannibal is all about culture, manners and courtesy. That's his charm. He sees himself as the apex predator among the other predators - and such could not tolerate having someone he dismissed attacked, insulted or harmed. She was HIS charge, and such rude conduct could not be tolerated. So, in that moment, he's the mob boss. He's the samurai lord. He's the dragon. This is his domain, and there are rules - and woe betide those who insult or break his trust. Thus went Miggs. Thus went Dr. Chilton. Thus went Krendler.

  • @Sinewmire
    @Sinewmire 2 года назад +34

    My favourite part is his line starting "No, no, you were doing fine..."
    He dissects her conversation, shows that he understands exactly the techniques and conversational traps she was using, and shows them to have been ineffective.
    Were Starling a less perceptive person, she must have been feeling quite good up until this point - she's successfully used the tools she has been given as a trainee, and Hannibal The Cannibal was even opening up to her!
    Hannibal brutally tears away any illusion she might have had that she was doing well, and shows her manipulations for the clumsy beginner's moves they were.
    That she can recover from this is testament to Starling's strong will and psychological fortitude.

      I feel there's almost a playful sense to this: "I see what moves you were making, didn't work but nice try" but there's also the almost unspoken encouragement to try harder, a "hit me with your best shot"

    Dr. Lechter has been one of my favorite villains since I first saw this in high school. He wasn't a twirling mustache, or a Darth Vader. He was a refined, dignified, maniac, aka an everyday person.

  • @fabrisseterbrugghe8567
    @fabrisseterbrugghe8567 2 года назад +21

    One thing that no one seems to pick up on is that Lecter tells Clarice the answer to her question even before its asked. Buffalo Bill is in Belvedere, Ohio and he emphasized that the angle of his drawing was from the belvedere. Most of his sketches we see later are of belvederes.

  • @KazPIII
    @KazPIII 2 года назад +24

    Really enjoyed this assessment. Should be mentioned that Dr. Lecter's compassion and interest in Clarice likely stems from his relationship with his little sister, which is explained thoroughly in the 'Hannibal' novel. So much of who he is is exceptional..and yet so much of his direction is guided by a very NORMAL quality we all share...our vulnerability to being shaped by TRAUMA. He also enjoys being in command, because it makes him feel less vulnerable, which is his true obsession. I believe this to be the true reason he goes after Miggs. Miggs' actions upset his control of the situation..and reminds him of his inability to protect Clarice, same as he could not protect his sister. Being in command, in his mind, allows him a sense of control of his reality..enabling him to prevent and even undo his traumatic experiences..possibly even the loss of his sister. He is a monster.. and yet, so human... Thank you for such a great video.

  • @mroberts673
    @mroberts673 2 года назад +27

    Loved this analysis. Thank you for sharing.
    Thought about your question as to why Lecter helps Clarice: Here's a quote from the movies sequel 'Hannibal' from Mason Verger: "... to make [Clarice] attractive to [Lecter] let him see her distressed. Let the damage he sees, suggest the damage he could do."
    He sees her in distress, and suddenly she's more attractive and interesting to him which leads to their 'relationship'.
    In their first conversation Clarice talks about things that COULD be distressing, but she doesn't get distressed. Lecter sends her away. Then Miggs throws his *ehem* at her, that is distressing and Lecter helps her.
    Later at the makeshift gym prison, he refuses to tell her anything and she opens up about the spring lambs, she is visibly distressed from that memory, and he both helps her and thanks her as she is being dragged away.

    Miggs' assault was a direct personal attack on Dr Lecter's control of the situation. He had been insulted and dismissed her, but he wasn't taking the person he just chastised and throwing her to the wolves. It wasn't Miggs' kill, and the assault was like defecating on the chess board he was using to toy with Starling.

    Also, getting her to come closer to show him her credentials tests whether she's willing to "break the rules." He surely knows that nobody is supposed to approach the glass, and he tests her willingness to do that.

    I love your analysis of Lecter.
    He’s such an interesting character. I am really impressed by how Hopkins’s acting, Demme’s directing, and Harris’s writing all came together to make such a terrifying villain. The thing that scares me most is, like many psychopaths, he seems calm, nice, and almost attractive at first…until it’s too late and you realize the true horror that gazes upon your face.
    This is the first video of yours that I have ever seen. It’s really well done! I am subscribing.

    What always fascinated me about these types of analysis videos is that we are talking about people pretending to be someone else and, on top of that, saying things that were written by people that they may not have ever met. The ability of good actors (and/or their directors) to take on a role and make it so believable such that psychologists can dissect them in videos like yours is truly mind-boggling.

    I've always found it funny that he claims he can't smell her.... yep. But then proceeds to tell her exactly what skin cream she uses and so on. It adds an extra layer to how unsettling it is.

  • @motorcitymangababe
    @motorcitymangababe 2 года назад +15

    Hot take- giving someone something after denying them that thing makes them feel disproportionately grateful and puts you in a position of power. Clarice was just dressed down, toyed with, threatened and dismissed like a disappointing student only to have what amounts to a second chance or a consolation prize.
    Imo lecter is in for a long game here and wants her to come back, even if its just to alleviate his boredom. If he completely crushed her she wouldnt want too- this way he firmly places himself in a position of power and stakes setting and gives her enough to make her want to come back. (This is also with the books and other movies in mind where he does have a distinct predatory fascination with clarice)
    Also... Would anyone else love a take on the Harley Quinn origin story with this vibe? I can see it.

  • @thathighguy6980
    @thathighguy6980 2 года назад +10

    I can be completely wrong... But I think that last part is more than just a singular thing. Yes, it's about the disrespect she just received. And Dr. Lector is a high class gentlemen first and foremost. Even beyond being an elite psychologist. But I also think a kennel of respect had been formed and seeing her completely vulnerable did engage a protective instinct. Like a weird version of "I can pick on my siblings, but no one else can". But more of a she's my guest and my toy to manipulate. How dare you disrespect her in my presence. And to compensate, threw her the bone and kills Miggs for his transgression

  • @camipco
    @camipco 2 года назад +23

    I love this scene, and this was a fantastic read of it.
    I am surprised you didn't mention gender, which is a huge part of the scene in general, and specifically with Miggs. Miggs' line is an attempt to reduce her to the most objectified and socially stigmatized aspect of her womanhood, and comes with a threat of sexual violence. Lecter knows Miggs, so when he asks Starling what Miggs said, he knows it's probably something misogynistic. The expectation is that a woman would be ashamed to say the word, humbled by being objectified, and afraid of the threat - that's what Miggs wants - placing her into the role as prey. But in a spectacular delivery by Jodie Foster, we see Starling firmly reject that role, summoning all her strength to repeat Miggs' line as matter-of-factly as she possibly can. She's saying "yes, Miggs went after my gendered vulnerability, and no I will absolutely not be vulnerable."
    So that gives me a different reading of Lecters' "I myself, cannot". Starling has impressed him, has proven herself above Miggs' crude mindgame. And immediately, he's affirmating her decision, he's saying "agreed, I will not mention your genitals". Lecter is among the very few male characters who does not try to treat Starling as a sex object at any point in the movie, and that's established here.
    He responds in two ways at once. First, as you say, he now launches his attack via an impressive psychological read - he leans in, he grins, he flexes his power. She's proven herself a challenge worth pursuing, a prey maybe worthy of him.
    Second, she nows has his respect which is his most important currancy. I read "I myself cannot" as, in a way, generous. It is reassuring - by then demonstrating his olfactory prowess he's saying "don't worry, if there was anything to smell, I would have done so". I like to think this is when he decides Miggs will die - he's demonstrating his respect for Starling by avenging her. Had Starling failed the "what did Miggs say to you" test, he wouldn't have called her back at the end, wouldn't have offered, as you say, protection in the face of Miggs' discourtesy.
    Great video, thanks!

  • @Psiberzerker

    "Sit down." It was stated as an offer, but more power-play. The entire scene is power-play, and beautifully filmed. In cinema, you're not supposed to look at the camera, it's "The fourth Wall," but in that basement, he only has 3 walls. From the moment Barney lets her in, she's trapped. She has this obligation, this willingness to succeed, and please Jack Crawford. Dr. Chilton's slimyness, Miggs being Miggs. All of these are set up to make her feel trapped in here, with them. The last friendly face she'd seen was Barney's. "Closer... Closer?" As it switches back, and forth, Hannibal is looking down, and Clarice is looking up. The camera zooms in with each cut. Face to face, until there's nothing but his eyes, and mouth. 5:55. A lot has been said about how he manipulated her, but this scene is hypnotic to the Audience. We get sucked in, the only friendly face in this house of horrors is HIM. Hannibal. The forced intimacy, we're put through that, too. The exposition written in here by Thomas Harris is great too but somebody should point out how this scene is shot.

    • @Psiberzerker
      @Psiberzerker 2 года назад +3

      His posture at the beginning, and the end are both part of his institutionalization. He's standing in the center of the cell at attention. Then, when he dismisses her, he turns around with his hands behind his back. These are subtle clues that he is a prisoner there, and is suffering some Institutionalization. Also a reminder for the audience, before and after you're made to feel trapped in there with him. 13:16. There's even a bar right over the offset subject to drive that point home.

    I like how just a bit of psychology goes into my profession in sales.
    Masking another's level of accent (I work close to Atlanta, while in Atlanta I tend to mask my accent, when doing business with someone from south Georgia I relax a little and then on par to how they speak) also mimicking another's body language in the first few seconds of us sitting down tends to break down the first set of barriers that are up when meeting with someone new.
    Also when they go into detail of how they are unhappy with who they are using, I lean forward, look intently and just listen while taking notes. Even if what they have to say I really don't care about, it allows them to open up more.
    This may sound like manipulation, but I genuinely do care about my customers and see how to fix any issues they are having.

    I believe he recognized himself in her. The two of them are very much alike (especially in the books, if I recall correctly). He is grooming her as both a predatory act and as an affectionate one. His trauma (again, going to the books) is what created his drive just like her trauma created hers.

    Isn't Lector also showing that he's in control from the start, by standing a couple of steps away from the physical barrier? That gives the illusion of him being in control, because he can move in any direction.
    If he had started closer to a wall even leaning or touching the "plexiglassswall" it would have been much more evident that he was confined and limited how he could move. Someone else was controlling him, giving him boundaries he was allowed to move within.

    Brilliant character analysis as always, Georgia Dow. SUCH insights into the human experience. You should carry a recorder with you, and you could write a book and have it finished sooner than you think. Speaking of gray pieces, it reminds me of that song from "Pirates of Penzance", A Policeman's Lot - quote: "WHEN A FELON'S NOT ENGAGED IN HIS EMPLOYMENT (his employment) OR MATURING HIS FELONIOUS LITTLE PLANS (little plans) HIS CAPACITY FOR INNOCENT ENJOYMENT (-cent enjoyment) IS JUST AS GREAT AS ANY HONEST MAN'S (honest mans)" Close quote. (I was actually a "pirate" in that one =) Thus, I think you are correct about him wanting to protect Clarice. Have you seen the TV series? The Clarice character...in the season finale...without a gun herself...vulnerable and seemingly defenseless...talks one demented bad guy into killing another, and then talks him into killing himself.

  • @Xehanort10
    @Xehanort10 Год назад

    8:55 In the book when Clarice asks Lecter why he's the way he is he says "Nothing happened to me Officer Starling. I happened. You can't reduce me to a set of influences." Basically saying he was born like that and chooses to be that way.

    The tradition of hospitality is extremely important to our psyche; see the disrespect to the Freys in GoT/ASoFaI. To reassert some control of the situation where Lector could not stop the assault of a guest who was given the right, he was forced to offer compensation. It is a way to regain the feeling of being dominate and civilized.

    After scrolling through he playlist I was getting bored with comic book villains. And then there was this video. It's a great scene. Hopkins won the Oscar probably for this scene alone. And this video breaks down why. Looking at all the little subtle things like Lector does as if he was a real person. Which is what make the performance so good. Those were (mostly) choices by Hopkins.
    I'm actually going to put this on my re-watch list cause I don't know when the last time I watched this movie was. I remember seeing it at the theater as a teenager, cause I worked there and got away with that. Maybe on cable once or twice since then?
    It also highlights something I've begun to recognize about "great acting" which is the performers understanding of the subtle non-verbal communication that isn't obvious unless you're paying real attention to it. And that is skill by an actor to portray that.

    I wonder if the character of Doctor Lector really wants to see Clarisse advance and triumph over her fears and doubts... something of a flashback to being a practicing therapist? It appears in direct conflict with his other persona of Hannibal the Cannibal who, as you so aptly applied, is playing with his food.
    What, if I may ask, is it like to experience this character as a mental health professional? Is there a dark and manipulative corner of the mind which understands the why and how of human thoughts that is a little bit perversely pleased to be able to say 'yes, I can do that, if I want to?'

    Why do I get shades of Apt Pupil from this one? I think what you might be sensing is a more teacher/student sort of dynamic, possibly even paternal in a sense. Granted, the professor is an evil git, but that's beside the point. And if we're being brutally honest, taking a class given by this professor would be decidedly interesting, the threat of cannibalization not withstanding. He's not lording over her, but more leaving a trail of breadcrumbs, coaxing her towards his "truth". That's most of their interactions, Starling playing catch-up, trailing behind Lecter. Then again, if you're sane, it makes understanding insanity difficult by definition. That and the vibe I get from Agent Starling is that she's making a deal with the devil and she knows it.

    Dear Georgia, maybe you can elaborate on the therapy sessions between Dr. Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham in the "Hannibal"-TV show (2013-2015)? Portayed by Mads Mikkelsen (Lecter) and Hugh Dancy (Graham) they play a very interesting cat and mouse game, where one wants the other to commit a crime and become a serial killer or admit and confess that he is a serial killer.

    Even though he does not care about actual morals, there is an exception to courtesy, dr. Hannibal lecter dispises people not being polite and that anger and hate comes back at him when he feels that he did something not polite, actually maybe even to the point where there is 5% empathy towards people who has been victims of extreme disrespect in terms of politeness only like this scene where he removed his emotionless feature and put her feelings putting himself in her place, and felt that she had been greatly offended in terms similar in damage to terms when his ego gets offended...

    As a responsible gentleman myself with no criminal record and also I am both mentally & physically stable which makes me so glad that I am a normal human being who has self-control & self-discipline which all humans must have around the world. There are some humans in this world that includes boys, girls, men and women who behave like monsters & they are most likely mentally ill which makes them extremely dangerous. Psychopathy is the most dangerous disorder ever because these types of human beings are very charming, deceitful, emotionless, intelligent and violent which makes them very terrifying because when you talk to psychopaths they seem so normal in public but in private they are very cruel so be very cautious with those types of people in this world. This is the reason why we human beings need to take mental illness very seriously before it is too late or else it could lead to so many innocent animals, innocent boys, innocent girls, innocent men and innocent women who would be murdered for no reason. I send my love and support from all the way from Lakemba, New South Wales, Australia for anyone in this world that suffers from any mental illness. As human beings we should all follow the three principles of life compassion, empathy and love to have a more perfect union.

    I always thought the reason Hannibal called Clarice back were as complex as the character himself. I think on one hand it was a matter of her being disrespected and Hannibal is a refined man who believes in the niceties to a point. Clarice was his guest and was to be treated with respect while she was in his "home." I think also it has to do with Hannibal enjoying playing with his food. He isn't just a predator but one like a cat who enjoys watching his food run about before eating it. He saw the chance to play with someone new who wasn't wise to his manipulations. And lastly, I think it was also a way for Hannibal to prove his superiority to Migs. Hannibal may have made Clarice uneasy displaying his keen sense of smell and threatened her in subtle ways but he didn't sexually assault her because in his mind that kind of behavior is beneath him as a refined individual. Migs sexually assaulting Clarice made Hannibal want to show her, and the other inmates, that he was better than they were.
    Have you seen the tv show Hannibal? It really goes deeper into his psychology and how manipulative he his. He gets off on inviting people to dinner parties and serving them exotic meats.

    Georgia I loved your video. My take on your question is this: A woman standing up for the task, back in those days, would have been at least entertaning for him. Then there is the quastion of villains. I am just guessing here but a guy like him wouldn't ever think of himself as neither Heroe or a villain, those titles are beneath him. There are only humans and history and laws. That being said, I think he just liked her. Like professors have their favorite studensts and parents have their favorite sons. And it didn't hurt either that she was gorgeous. Let's forget psychology for a second and remember that we are animals. Like you said, we work better in a group and all his knowledge can't surpass our genetics. By the way, hahhahaa I am digressing. He called her back because he liked her. But, my guess is: he liked the way she saw justice in the world. He did the same, whatever the courts said and she was interesting. A guy that smart must be really bored with the world. So when a human being acts like an animal he is disgusted with it and therefore its nothing more but an animal. no more than cattle to be consumed. And she is not. In his mind, she's worth it. She is a real human being.

    Nice color commentary on this battle of wills. The Joe Rogan of PJJ (Physiological jiu-jitsu)! ... I do think that he likely sized Clarise up right at the beginning and then looked for confirmation or not to his thoughts as the conversation develops. The insults he throws at her later were not likely off the cuff. Only reason to mention this as it isn't a novel observation but interesting watching the clip again keeping in mind his thoughts about her already mostly formed as revealed later heightens how much a game he is playing. On a related people watching perspective this video of this women being questioned in court is wildly interesting.
