"I'm having an old friend for dinner."😅 That line is epic
But what did he choose for the wine?🍷🤔
Could you imagine the Doctor's face when Hannibal meets up with him?
"Dr. Chilton, can I call you Frederick? Which do you prefer, red or white wine?"
@@DocMicrowave so good that Hannibal is supposed to be a villain, but Chilton is much worse & more creepy
@@DocMicrowave
@@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.
Clarice was an open honest person with a good heart. I believe that’s why Hannibal saves her. He meets so few people like that.
Yeah, no. She lied to him throughout most of the movie (and more in the book). He fell in love with her because she defied his expectations. He thought she was a rube, but she was brave and intelligent. She fell in love with him because of his intelligence and the fact that he was open with her. What you saw is what you got, instead of the politics and corruption at the FBI.
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
"Marathon Man," starring Dustin Hoffman, Roy Schieder, and Sir Laurence Olivier.
I think you would really enjoy "The Others" (2001) starring Nicole Kidman.
Good to know, thank you for the recommendation!
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!
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...
Buffalo Bill is played by the same guy that plays the Captain in "Monk" (Ted Levine).
Yes, and He was in the Horror Movie : The Hills have Eyes . The New one. A very Intense Movie , too......
the year this swept the Oscars- Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, Screenplay, Billy Crystal was the host of the show- for his intro, he was wheeled out with the face mask and straight jacket ala Hanibal Lector- so funny.
I'm assuming you've seen 7?
But my favourite psychological horrors are Jacob's Ladder and Stigmata!
The serial killer stereotype is one who is cruel to animals, but the opposite definitely also happens. Empathy for animals does not necessarily translate into empathy for all humans (or the other way around). Hitler was famously as dog lover who reportedly loved his own dog and treated him quite well.
there is a second film but not with jody foster but with julie anne more
"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.
Alfred Hitchcock movies are very good. Psycho and Rear Window are good ones to start off with.
When do we get The Two Towers???
Please react to the Harold & Kumar trilogy 🙏 those movies are hilarious
"world-renowned forensic psychiatrist" and "cannibal" are two things you never want to hear in a description of one person.
I think the follow up movie Hannibal is a superior movie yet isnt as well known.I hope you check it out.
SEVEN is another neat serial killer movie....
4:33 The smiling inmate with the mustache who says "Hi" when Clarice passes his cell is listed in the end credits as "Friendly Psychopath." That's got to look great on his acting resume.
Hahaha what a funny credit
@@maplenutsreact It makes me want to start a rock band called the Friendly Psychopaths.
I did a deep dive on this film a while back. Pretty sure that guy is an ild school American stand up comic. Roger Corman also has a cameo aswell. The guy who phoned Jack and said well she's mad as hell. Roger corman! Famous movie producer 😊
@@doughyjoey_8742musician Chris Isaac is the lead man on the SWAT team.
I thought he looked like Oliver stone. I thought he did a cameo. Turned out it wasn’t him
The fact that Anthony Hopkins NEVER blinks when the camera is on him gives those scenes a seriously high "creep factor".
@@guitarfreak342He wasn't blinking. He was taking a power nap.
Two of the best acting performances I've ever seen (by Jodie Foster and Sir Philip Anthony Hopkins).
The directing (Jonathan Demme) is also fantastic.
The whole movie is a magnificent, suspenseful masterpiece
I totally agree! We both felt so tense the whole time... that's powerful movie making.
She is good in the 4th. season of True Detective show
Sweep the Oscars😎
Seven (stylized as Se7en) 1995 is another movie of this genre that is very good..with Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt...
Thank you for the recommendation!
I saw Se7en in the theater and it was so disturbing that I haven't watched it since
Seven is a Fantastic film.
Highly recommend
Sev7n is the only film on par with silence of the lambs for psycho serial killer disturbing type film. I didn’t see zodiac but heard that’s good.
"What's in the box?"
In the book, Buffalo Bill asks Clarice "What does it feel like to be so beautiful?" as he dies.
Oh wow... I'm surprised they left that out of the movie.
@@maplenutsreact I thought it punctuated why Bill wanted to transform himself, but the filmmakers may have thought it was redundant or corny.
R maybe it humanized him somehow
@@waterbeauty85 It's a good line when all you have is words, but when you have images and music, you don't need it. The film made the right choice, I'd say. A good example of why high quality adaptations often deviate from their source material.
It took me watching this movie multiple times before I realized that Lecter was dropping a big clue when he told Senator Martin that he "loved her suit."
My wife asks me why I watch this film so often. It’s because it is so effective and well-made. It is truly a classic. Its 5 Oscars back me up.
It's true, so well made. Hard to watch, but that's how you know the movie accomplished what it set out to do.
I agree. It's an absolutely perfect film. I've probably seen it 30 or more times.
Same, it’s beautiful done, I love introducing it to younger family members. It’s an absolute masterpiece.
It’s the last movie to win the Oscar trifecta. Best Film, Best Lead Actor and Best Lead Actress.
What's truly amazing is that Anthony Hopkins is only on-screen for like 16min of the whole movie! And still won an Academy Award!
Quality over quantity 😎
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.
A master class performance from Anthony Hopkins deserving of his Oscar.
A masterpiece suspense thriller !
Great reaction. Refreshing to see someone actually watching the movie, engrossed in the movie, instead of someone acting like they are watching the movie, but wanting an audience, and talking, and being animated, for the "camera". Really nice to see you both react authentically.
Right! lol you're spot on with some of these "reactors".
Agreed. I found this reaction to be genuine. Unfortunately "reaction videos" are now a dime a dozen with all sorts of absurd fake melodramatic reactions or fake crying, etc. Some of the female reactors even have links to their so called OnlyFans page in one last desperate attempt at garnering attention before they age out into their late 20's and early 30's.
great reaction. The movie Seven is a must
Thank you for the recommendation!
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.
If you haven't seen Manhunter then you need to watch it. It's a fantastic movie. Brian Cox plays Hannibal Lecktor and he's terrific.
We all know that Hopkins created an iconic Hannibal but Brian Cox delivered an equally chilling Hannibal that was terrifying because he played it without emotion at all. A real psychopath.
I've always found Cox's portrayal far more unsettling due to his passive approach to making deeply sinister suggestions.
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.
Another haunting must watch?
Seven from David Fincher for sure.
Sounds like a common favourite! I'll try work up the courage haha
Plus, they share the same composer.
@@maplenutsreact One more classic that comes to mind is American Werewolf In London (1981)
Fun fact : When the lights in the movie theater came back on for the audience, Sir Anthony Hopkins would startle viewers by sitting next to the them and hiss (mimicking when Hannible hisses at Clarice when talking about the census taker).
What!!! Omg that would kill me! Haha
@@maplenutsreact I saw an interview where Hopkins said he was sitting behind a couple, and when the movie ended he leaned forward and said to them in Lector's voice, "So, did you like the movie?"
@@InsaneRabbitDaddy yes & the woman screamed
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.
You're so right! I really love how you explain the relationship between Lecter and Clarice
A lot of people will tell you to watch more of this series and include Red Dragon (2002) but I personally feel that Manhunter (1985) is a much better film. They are both based on the book Red Dragon.
I'm with you, i love Manhunter and the soundtrack is fantastic. Michael Mann picks some great music for his movies.
I love Manhunter. More than Silence Of The Lambs.
@@John_Locke_108 I also recommended "Manhunter." I'd put them both at the top of the series.
Guys, great, sincere reaction.
A must see is "Manhunter" from 1986, where the character of Hannibal Lector first appears. An excellent 80's film directed by the great Michael Mann.
Red Dragon.
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.
Cape Fear w/ Robert Deniro
I've heard of that movie! I've always been too scared to watch it though haha. Perhaps this will be the year
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.
Direct address (where the actor looks and speaks into the camera) is Jonathan Demme's trademark. You'll see it in every film he made.
Best Actor Oscar, Best Actress, Best Movie! Job Done! Sequel brilliant too! Forget 3! 😂
Would you guys keep Buffalo BIlls white poodle like Katherine did??
That's a good question! I guess those two went through a lot of trauma together, so it makes sense they would have a unique bond. But I don't think I could, because the little critter would always remind me of that horrible time. I love your question... it's really making me think
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 RUclips about the making of this movie. It's very good.
18:35 "It's actually getting to him" People always mistake this scene. He's not breaking from empathy, he's breaking from rage.
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. If not, I will buy it for you if it wins a poll 😄
Anthony Hopkins is such a great actor. He can play terrifying characters as effectively as sweet, kind-hearted ones. This deservedly won him his first of 2 Oscars. I highly recommend checking out his 2nd Oscar-winning performance in THE FATHER (2020) as well as an Oscar-nominated performance in THE REMAINS OF THE DAY (1993).
A little like Ian Holm in "Alien" and "The LOTR."
Also he was in Galaxy Quest playing a good character. You're absolutely right about his acting ability. Sorely miss him.@@axr7149
I don't know about winning any awards - but I loved Anthony in Audrey Rose (1977).
A movie adapted from a book. The premise rests on the idea of reincarnation. Which I don't seriously believe in. But I have still always loved the movie.
The hissing inmate said: "I can smell your aunt".
sure, let's go with that
😆
see you next tuesday
A similar psychological thriller is Misery (1990) adapted from a Stephen King novel.
Extraordinary psycho-killer movie, the plot and the acting fabulous. The end scene where Clarice enters the killer's house, at first unknowing, is the best edge of the knife passage and almost unbearable to watch to its culmination. It's good knowing the ending when revisiting it!
How to win an Oscar in 17 mins on film! Acting Masterclass by Anthony Hopkins! 😮
The actor who plays Jame (Buffalo Bill) Gumb is Ted Levine. He also played Detective Leland Stottlemeyer on the TV show "Monk".
Seven (Se7en) or Hannibal the sequel to Silence of the Lamb, or the Red Dragon the pre-quel to Silence of the Lamb. Another thriller is Identity with John Cusack and Ray Liotta.
🔥 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
I’m a fan of the series, Monk, and it blew my mind that Stottlemeyer was Buffalo Bill
You should really dive into Jodie Fosters other terrific movies, here’s a few:
1)Nell
2)Panic Room
3)Flight Plan
4)Contact
5)The Accused
6)Hotel Artemis
7)The brave One
I didn't go thru the comments but i did look thru your videos and you're missing The Shining. If i missed it ignore this. But if you want a good follow up to Silence Of The Lambs, watch The Shining. Stanley Kubrik plus a vague adaptation of a Stephen King novel is pure genius.
For more like this try David Fincher's TV show Mindhunter which examines the creation of the FBI Behavioural Sciences Unit where agents visit real world serial killers and develop their first profiles.
The sequel Hannibal by Ridley Scott is worth a watch as is the prequel Red Dragon with Edward Norton. The TV show with Mads Mikelson is awesome too, but WAAAAAYYYY over the top.
If you decide to watch the prequel I strongly recommend the 80s version called "Manhunter". It's way more suspenseful than the remake "Red Dragon".
"Manhunter" 1986 was the first anyone heard of Lector. Not sure why every reactor starts with this one. Manhunter was remade and titled the red Dragon. But the original was great. Starred William Petersen (Grisom from CSI)
Many movies I can suggest but please don’t fade on Evil Dead 2…it’s actually a dark comedy. Complete departure from the first film and a cult classic!
You guys mention the POV shots and dialogue, but in reality, during the filming of this movie even though Jodi Foster and Anthony Hopkins are in so many scenes together, they never actually met each other, during this filming, those were all individual shots.
A real terrifying fact, the FBI figures that there are on average a dozen serial killers at work in the U.S. at any given time.
I love films like this one. Very real and dark concept. It shows you that true monster can be human that are very inhumane. Great reaction I have a recommendation for you a film called "8mm with Nicholas Cage. Deals with situations like this.
At 6:25 . . . The first eeeeew moment,
ME: LOL, there are going to be more of
those eeeew moments! 🤔🤨😆
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.
Watching this for 2 hours and feeling so tense the whole time was a lot... I couldn't imagine reading the whole book! I bet it's amazingly written though
I'm sure others have said it but seven is a great psychological thriller with brad pitt and Morgan Freeman
The dialogue in this film is amazing. Beautifully written.
Another book with Hannibal Lector as a minor character is Red Dragon. There are two movies of that book. One called Red Dragon and another called Manhunter. Both good. And the serial killer will scare you.
Anyway, super reaction. Thanks.
IMHO Manhunter (directed by Michael Mann) is, by far, the better of the two versions.
0:11 This beautiful couple looks cool, the girl look like *_Julia O'Hara Stiles_* and the dude looks like young *_George Lucas_* 🤣
Enjoyed the reaction. A couple of movies I'd like to see on the channel are "Heat" from 1995 and "Primal Fear" from 1996
I couldn’t watch Monk without hearing “it puts the lotion in the basket”😅😅
"...or it gets the hose again."
"Love the suit" - a clue. "Simplicity" - another clue.
It isn't just simplicity. There are literature references to the psychology of the clothes that we wear. Electrical analyzing the senator Lecter is psychoanalyzing the senator Lecter is psychoanalyzing the senator psychoanalysis everyone he meets psychoanalysis everyone he meets
Haha, swoosh over your head. Simplicity is a name brand for dress making patterns. @@blindlemonpledge2556
For more of Hannibal Lecter, I highly recommend Hannibal and Red Dragon. Both very good films. Hannibal takes place after the events of Silence Of The Lambs and Red Dragon takes place before Silence.
Top-10 i wish you to see:
1. Lives of Others (2006)
2. War Horse (2011)
3.Judgement at Nuremberg (1961)
4. Love Story (1970)
5. Godfather trilogy (1972, 1974, 1990)
6. Gone With the Wind (1939)
7. Kingdom of Heaven (2005)
8.Ben-Hur (1959)
9. The Hustler (1961)
10. The Leopard (1963).
Something about this movie....makes me want to have an old friend for dinner. Er, over, an old friend OVER for dinner!! :P
Yooooo upload LOTR already! Pleeeease
There is a sequel "Hannibal" 😅😅
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.
watch the entity
🤘😎
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."
Besides the two other Hopkins's Hannibal - Red Dragon and Hannibal - I recommend checking out Silence! the musical based on this movie. You can find the songs here on youtube. For recommendations of movies you should definitely see:
-Schindler's List
- Chernobyl mini-series
-Gladiator
-American pIe series (besides being a great comedy series, the first had a great impact in the late 90's early millenium)
- Final Destination (the second movie in particular traumatized that whole generation)
Great movie, great reaction! :)
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.
Watch ''THX 1138'' I think our society is headed in that direction.
By design.
It is. I think that's why it was a complete Bomb back then, discouraging people from watching it so people won't wake up.
HEAT, ROADHOUSE, Gleaming The Cube, Rad. There's Something About Mary.
I would say that Stephen King's IT from 1990 is worth watching. Similar feel as this, but obviously less realistic.
Try V for Vendetta
Good will hunting, saving private Ryan, Shawshank redemption, tropic thunder (comedy), braveheart, gladiator, green mile, Forrest Gump
Misery, Exorcist, An American Werewolf in London, The Shining, Black Christmas, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, The Amityville Horror, Psycho, Peeping Tom, Jaws, Duel, The Dead Zone, Cujo. So, so many.
I recommend Dead Calm 1989. I think this was Nichole Kidman’s breakthrough role.
Anthony Hopkins movie suggestion - "The World's Fastest Indian".
Awesome twosome 😎
Great reaction
Check out: HANNIBAL, RED DRAGON, MANHUNTER, and, HANNIBAL tv series.
SEVEN is also a great film.
Great video, keep it up 👍
Great reaction. Please watch Limitless, Looper, The Last Days, Passengers, Shot Caller, Surrogates, Let The Right One In, Wanted and Daybreakers next. Thanks.
I encourage you guys to watch the prequel to this movie, named Manhunter (1986), starring William Petersen.
You want haunting with ghost scares? Try THE CONJURING... :)
I have a handful of criteria for watching reaction videos… 1) have they seen it before… STRIKE 1… 2) How often do they overuse the words ”like” …or “crazy”… in 30 seconds… STRIKE 2!! NEXT!!
The scene with the Fbi ringing the doorbell was indeed a great fake-out.
Some suggestions for you 2
In the Thriller/Horror direction.
The Birds (1963)
Copycat (1995)
Primal Fear (1996)
Cube (1997)
More must watch? LA Confidential (1997) and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003).
Well, for horror movies there are several that have certain "quirks" that make them epic. Misery, The Mist, The Invisible Man (2020), Hereditary, Poltergeist (1982), The Exorcist (1973), The Thing (1982), Alien, and An American Werewolf in London are great choices. I'd imagine you've seen at least a few of them.
