Jodie Foster's performance in this movie is my favorite performance by an actress EVER. She was able to show intelligence, fear, bravery, confusion etc all so well! Love this movie!
Yes. I concur. She and Hopkins won an Oscar each for this one. 18:36 That scene... It's great!
Not to mention she nailed her character's accent.
And she does it all mostly low-key, without a lot of hysterical screaming and eye-rolling.
She should definitely be on that list of strong women in movies alongside Ripley and Connor.
Accused and Taxi Driver she's incredible.
So glad you've watched this. A classic. Stellar performances from Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster. The voice of "Bill" is what Seth Green in part based Chris Griffin's voice on.
Older movies relied more on acting and making you feel, and less on effects. They had to. And some did a fucking awesome job if it. Anthony Hopkins was fucking terrifying in this. Even in Australia it was obvious he was a gem. Hell, I grew up seeing him play the doctor in the Elephant Man, and that movie was .... interesting
Anthony Hopkins holds the World Record for Winner of the Best Oscar Actor with the least screen-time.
He's in this film for roughly 18 minutes.
Oh this gonna be good! 😂🤣😂🤣
Cant wait to see her reaction to Miggs! #LookAtTheBlood! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Her face at "I can smell your 🐈" 🤣🤣🤣
@@LordVolkov🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Finally getting to watch this! 🤣😂 Miggs didnt disappoint! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂
Lecter:
The famous Buffalo Bill tuck dance never gets old 😂
Maple gets it! ALL women should conceal carry & do so on their body every day. Women are at a severe disadvantage when it comes to being attacked by men. No fight for your life should be fair against the violent offender. Also, don’t carry a stupid revolver, get as big of a handgun you can comfortably carry with as many rounds as possible, minimum of 10 rounds, but go for 12+. Train a lot because when the time comes, you want instinctual proper fundamentals & muscle memory to kick in.
Maple (syrup) you were shakin' like a leaf on a tree!!! Imagine being at the movies to see this from the original release. I was!!! 😬🤗
No bullshit, this has been my favorite movie since I was 4yo. This one & Misery. I still love watching both movies lol
You should do a reaction to Manhunter from 1985. This was the first Hannibal Lector film, with Succession's Brian Cox as Hannibal and also William Petersen, Joan Allen , Dennis Farina and Stephen Lang. Directed by Michael Mann.
I can't believe that you all got Mapel to watch this. She did really well though and I really enjoyed watching along with her reaction. 😊
It was her request actually :D
“It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again” haha super unhinged omg
26:24 "I love this song." Not anymore. 😅 The moment you said that sentence. I felt bad for you immediately because I knew what was coming. That song has been forever tainted for me ever since the movie came out. Anyway, thanks for a great reaction to an all-time classic. This movie put Jody Foster & Anthony Hopkins on the map.
I'd say Jodie Foster has been on the map since her Oscar nomination for Taxi Driver (1976) and certainly since winning the Oscar for The Accused (1987), even aside from the whole John Hinkley debacle.
@@shallowgal462 All true.
Ha! Goodbye Horses is famous because of this movie.
Both Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster won the Oscar for Best Actor and Actress for this film, which also won Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and, if that wasn't enough, Best Picture.
Anthony Hopkins is probably one of the best actors of his generation and this is one of his best performances. Consider that he only appears on screen for about 20 minutes and every shot of him is disturbingly iconic.
Anthony Hopkins only has about 16 minutes of screen time, and he created one of the most highly regarded iconic screen villains of all time.
Sort of like how Darth Vader only had just over 9 minutes in Episode IV. I know, it’s hardly fair, though. After all, Vader had access to Force mind tricks, while Lecter could only use non-magical mind tricks. 😉
Mad Mikkelsen was a much better Hannibal imo.
The 16 minute figure is a myth. What makes it believable, other than having reputable sites blindly repeat it without checking, is that Hannibal is completely absent for extended periods of the movie twice, once for almost 20 minutes and another for over 25 minutes. Also his first appearance isn't until almost 12 minutes in.
The ten scenes he's in counting from when he's first seen/heard till he's last seen/heard in each actually add up to 34 minutes, 54 seconds (not counting the end credits sequence).
Here's the breakdown from my DVD giving start - end timestamps = duration (running total):
11:55 - 18:38 = 6:43 (6:43) "May I see your credentials?"
26:54 - 30:20 = 3:26 (10:09) "Your bleeding has stopped."
50:03 - 55:20 = 5:17 (15:26) "Quid pro quo"
57:17 - 58:20 = 1:03 (16:29) "His first name is Louis"
58:49 - 1:02:10 = 3:21 (19:50) "Where will it tickle you?"
1:04:03 - 1:10:45 = 6:42 (26:32) "Good evening, Clarice."
1:11:23 - 1:15:10 = 3:47 (30:19) "Mind the drawings please."
1:16:52 - 1:19:31 = 2:39 (32:58) "Talk to him!"
1:21:13 - 1:21:33 = 0:20 (33:18) "Pulse 84."
1:47:26 - 1:49:02 = 1:36 (34:54) "I'm having an old friend for dinner."
Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins deserve all the praise for their performances, but I’d also like to highlight Ted Levine. He gave a riveting, utterly creepy performance as Buffalo Bill, and he could easily have been typecast. However, in his subsequent career, he escaped typecasting, and he has had a successful career since.
Agreed. Anyone who has seen him as Stottlemeyer on Monk but never as Buffalo Bill will be shocked by how frightening and chilling his performance in the film was.
Fun fact: The actor who plays Buffalo Bill played the police captain in the t.v. series "Monk". When I figured that out I could never see him the same way. I would crack up hoping that in one episode he would say to Monk, "It puts the lotion on the skin." 😂😂😂
He did have one episode in which he was without his mustache and he did look almost like a slightly older version of Buffalo Bill.
Same 😂
He also played Bosko in Michael Mann's "Heat".
The fact that the scariest person in the movie is constantly either in a cage, or physically restrained shows how incredible Hopkins is, as an actor, and how well the character is written. It’s also a fun psychological dichotomy.
And the part with the mask hones in how so much of it was the eyes. What a performance!
Hopkins gets all the flowers for this movie but Jodie Foster is just as good. Their chemistry is off the charts and it's amazing that the serial killer is the only one who treats Clarice like a person and not a piece of meat.
both of them got an Oscar for their performance in the movie , so i guess she got more than flowers
The two best acted scenes in cinema history, IMO, are the scene where she's telling Lecter about the lambs. And the scene with Donny Wahlberg from The 6th Sense.
Great scenes but that 6th sense one isn't even the best of that movie.
@alyberop1 IMO means In My Opinion
Love the way you worded that. A cannibal being the only man who doesn't treat Clarice like "a piece of meat." Well done.
Jody Foster was on The Graham Norton show and said she avoided Anthony Hopkins for years after this movie. He scared her that much with his performance.
I thought it might have just been that she wasn’t a fan of heavy metal. Hopkins is.
Around 15 min in, you asked if a size 17 is large . Today 17 is kind of normal . But since this movie was made the Average women have gained about 20-30 pounds. Where the Average man have only gained about 5 pounds .. So Normal have changed .=)
Jonathan Demme was such a unique filmmaker who, a lot like Steven Soderbergh, could make pretty much any kind of film.
Those centered close-up/POV shots in particular are a Demme calling card that make some of his films SO impactful.
Somehow he made this movie, stop making sense, and rachel getting married, all classics
"Rachel Getting Married" is so good
There's a little trick he uses in a lot of the scenes with Hopkins and Foster when they are interacting. Hopkins is always shot close up and slightly lower, while Foster is shot from a distance and slightly higher. This gives the subconscious idea that he's larger than her and more domineering.
The way Hannibal absolutely takes control of every scene he's in is both incredible and terrifying.
The 90's had some great thrillers this movie along with se7en is probably at the top of most people's favorite from that decade.
Kiss the Girls, Copycat as well
@@OneArmedRetroGamerCopycat is in need of reactions. Fantastic cast.
@@OneArmedRetroGamer yep
“What’s in the box man???”
@@Fmanzo10 lol one of the greatest endings ever
If you haven’t already, watch the best Classic Thriller, Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock. It’s a must.
If you watch Hannibal, the sequel, you'll see a huge contrast in how these movies were filmed. This is a masterpiece. Nothing is overdone. In a horror/suspense thriller, it's just as important what you don't show as what you do show. Sometimes subtlety can be really important. Nobody explicitly in this film says "we think you're less than us because you're female," or "you're just a piece of ass," but there's just a creepy vibe to how it's filmed. Jodie Foster constantly has men staring at her, like she's a piece of meat. And not all the gore is shown, so when something is shown, it has a lot more impact. It's not just a gorefest. Hannibal is quite different, with a different director. I recommend seeing all the films in the series, including Red Dragon, which isn't as good as this, but much better than Hannibal. It's a prequel, so you see Hannibal before he was captured, and how he was captured. Highly recommended.
Especially see MANHUNTER (1986) which was the first Hannibal film. It was remade into RED DRAGON but both films are worthy of watching.
I read the book. The movie stays very, very faithful.
The prequel to this, which was later remade as the movie “Red Dragon” starring Edward Norton, was a movie called “Manhunter”. It was the first time the character Hannibal Lecter was seen and he was played by Brian Cox. Watching “Manhunter” and “Red Dragon” back to back would make for interesting reactions.
Thank you. I'm more inclined to Manhunter than Red Dragon. Manhunter was more darker and edgier than the slightly slick Hollywood remake.
Okay Maple .. now you REALLY have to watch "Hannibal" the series! It´s soo good! Mats Mikkelsen is such a formidable bad guy .. you will love it!
One of the things that the director did with this, that was kind of based off the books. Was that he used to camera angles and edits to make the audience feel uncomfortable when Jody Fosters character was interacting with most males. It was to express the discomfort of the "male gaze" which is something that get referenced alot in the books. And then you'll notice that whenever Hopkins is in a scene the camera feels. . .different. it was actually really genius
"How many of you felt weird about mannequins?"
Oh, there's other movies for that Maple 😅
Mannequin, with Kim Cattrall, or either version of Maniac (the Elijah Wood version is particularly good)
There is good acting then there is Anthony Hopkins level.
For a movie that gives a lot of good exposition, it also shows a lot without telling you. We have a few different sequences throughout the film where Agent Starling is having an experience and there is little to no dialogue whatsoever. The entire film just hits all the right beats and is among my favorite films of all time. It's dang near perfect!
That FBI cake always looks so goddamn delicious.
The book is good too! It goes more into detail with the investigation and while Anthony Hopkins knocked it outta the park with Dr Lector, in the book he’s just as chilling
lol at the commenters triggered by her conceal and carry comment
The acting in this film has got to be top 5 all time. I know that's a subjective statement but Hopkins puts on an all time performance here. And Foster frankly, is not far off either. Even Anthony Heald put on a lead like performance in a supporting role.
"The Dance" becomes exponentially worse when you realize that's not a wig he's wearing but the scalped head of one of his victims
"The scenes between Lecter and Clarice are basically seduction scenes. They play, oddly enough, as if they were lovers. They only touch one time in the entire movie, in their last scene when he says goodbye to her- when as he hands her back her notes, he touches her finger. And it's almost a shock to the audience, when they touch. But these scenes, you would approach almost as if you were writing a sort of courtship between two lovers." - Ted Tally, Screenwriter for The Silence of the Lambs
0:43 I have read 2 books of the series, Red Dragon and The Silence of the Lambs. Both are really good, I would recommend them if you like this film. One thing I enjoyed about the books in relation to the film is that you get to read some of the characters' thoughts.
the best of the Red Dragon movies is *_Manhunter_* from '80s starring William Petersen (CSI tv show).. it is directed by Michael Mann of _Miami Vice_ in the '80s
Due to all of the overt and implied sexual violence towards women, this movie scares men but it scars women.
Yep se7en and for a SciFi morality twist Exmachina
World's Worst Drinking Game - Take a shot every time Hannibal blinks.
You'll be stone cold sober.
..Does a wink counts? x)
@@MidnightHowling Survey says,"Hell Yes it does."
@@ClichéGuevara-2814 So depending on the drink choice, you might be slightly buzzed at the end of this. X)
@@MidnightHowling I do bong hits, instead. But...whatever blows your hair back is an acceptable alternative. Drinking Game is just cultural shorthand.
@@ClichéGuevara-2814 To each his/her own, but, yeah, simpler to say "drink" nowadays. ;)
Let me guess, you can never hear Goodbye Horses again without think of this movie?
Maple, you DEFINITELY need to watch Red Dragon or Hannibal, you’ll love to see Anthony Hopkins reprise his role and both are wonderful films
True, but also check out 1985's Manhunter. Directed by Michael Mann and starring Brian Cox as Hannibal. He was the first Hannibal Lector before Anthony Hopkins.
Maple must watch the Jay and Silent Bob scene from Clerk 2. (Goodbye Horses song). LOL
I'm thinking Maple and Ariana should check out the 1999 film Titus with Anthony Hopkins.
I love that movie so much. Such a good adaption
I LOVE how you said this is apparently not a scary movie, just a psychological thriller. minutes later... the scene with the head in the jar...
Apparently Martha Stewart (yes, the Martha Stewart) and Anthony Hopkins - playing Lecter in this movie - were borderline dating, but: then Martha Stewart watched this movie, got so freaked out by Hopkins' performance that she ended it. xD
The director having the characters talk directly to the camera on tight shots really puts you in clarice's shoes...making you feel as she would have, awkward
“ ….. big through the hips ….. rrr-ooooo-mmmyyy?”
I SOOOO hope you do a first watch of Hannibal... not that shitty tv show, but the movie
Wow nobody has commented 'fun fact' yet.
Great character actor Ted Levine was so haunted by his portrayal of Buffalo Bill, he only played cops afterwards, except for a voice in the horror series, Joy Ride.
I worked on a tree farm in Plainfield Wisconsin for a season. Home of the original skin suit. Although, it was actually just skin upholstery. Leatherface, Buffalo Bill and others are based on Ed Gein. A mentally handicapped guy who lived alone, was into taxidermy, and eventually started grave robbing and getting "creative"
The house they used for the outside and upstairs scenes was for sale a few years back. Everyone was disappointed it didn't actually have the same basement 😆
The book(s) are great. Silence of the Lambs is the second in the 4 book series. The first is Red Dragon, which takes place a few years before Silence of the Lambs. The third is Hannibal, which takes place 8 - 10 years after Silence of the Lambs. The fourth is Hannibal Rising, which is about how Hannibal became who he is, starting with his childhood. Personally, I find books two and three to be the best written and most suspenseful. But the first book gives you a better understanding of exactly how dangerous Hannibal can be.
According to market research firm Plunkett Research, nearly 70% of American women are size 14 or larger. That means that more than half of American women fall outside the typical sizing range of most mainstream fashion brands, which usually only go up to size 12.
The creepiest guy in this whole movie wasn’t Hannibal Lecter or Buffalo Bill. It was Dr. Chilton at the psychiatric facility. Dude makes my skin crawl!
Noted difference between the movie and book:
In the movie they were going more for the "man's world" sexist angle with Clarice, particularly at the funeral home with all the small town cops where Clarice has to prove herself. BUT....
In the book, it was the exact opposite. Jack Crawford, Clarice's boss, is an educated New Englander who earned his degrees in Psychology while working as a police officer before joining the FBI. When they get to the funeral home to study the first victim, all the small town cops ignore him and refuse to help because they see him as a snobbish, over-educated Yankee. When Clarice speaks up in her small town Appalachian accent, all the cops immediately remove their hats and treat her like a welcomed guest. Crawford ends up having to defer to her to get the cops to help them at the funeral home.
It was hilarious when you were worried about "Goodbye Horses" being ruined by this movie. I love that song because of this movie. Different perspectives.
The books are really good. I forget 3 or 4 of them altogether very much recommend for a Hannibal fan very well written story.
Oh, my! All this time I've never realized you've not done this... What is wrong with me? I'm so excited to watch you wind your way through this one. It's a thing... There's moments... Whew! See you later! :)
Do you actually believe neither of these women have never seen a movie in their life? seriously... "first time watching" do they look like they're Amish or North Korean? i'll never understand this shite
More women should carry firearms
perfect acting, perfect writing. perfect film.
Masterpiece...and a testament to sublime casting,real acting no cgi, movies arent made like this anymore :/
Great reaction to this classic and immense piece of cinema. Loved the conceal carry suggestion. Also you and my dad have something in common - This film almost completely ruined the song 'Goodbye Horses' for him, lolz
Paple understandably shaken at hearing a size 14 girl described as 'a great big fat person.' xD
Chilton definitely lacks chill . . . but he might get _served_ chilled :P
"He's done for." Perhaps well-done for? MWA-HA-HA.
It is important, my mother used to say, always to try new things... 🐑🐗🍴🍸🍖
There was a part where you said "interesting" in a way that made me think of my sister. It took me a while to figure out that when she is watching something or observing something, when she says "interesting", it means she doesnt understand what is going on. Do you use it this way. I havent told her I figured it out because I dont want her to change it up so I know when she is confused.
The terrible things they found in serial killer Ed Gein's home fueld the writing of several movies, this of course Texas chainsaw massacre.. psycho 😮
Fun fact Anthony does the narration for The Grinch Stole Christmas.
The editor has good taste in music, playing Meshuggah😂😂
Every woman should have at least a 22 caliber pistol on them, at least in my opinion.
I would skip Hannibal and go straight to watching Red Dragon.
Massive respect for knowing Goodbye Horses before seeing this film.
Watch the original next, 'Manhunter' directed by Michael Mann.
🔥 i recommend you react to the whole trilogy
- -->The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
It rubs the lotion on the skin maple or else it gets the hose again! 😂 I love this movie so much.
I've read two of the Hannibal Lecter books, The Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal by Thomas Harris. He's a great writer, highly recommend them.
the subtitles lol
"hey guys welcome back to diet jesus"
Ever notice how when chicks are scared they always pull their sleeves over their hands and then cover their face? There must be some psychological science to that; it's so common. Great reaction, Maple. Enjoyed the hell outta that.
Movies like this are scary because monsters like those portrayed do really exist in our society. They're ordinary, on the outside, people who could be your neighbor, a co-worker or even a love interest.
Fortunately, the probability of encountering an active serial killer is generally very low (significantly less than 1%, though any non-zero chance is still too much for my liking). The chances of encountering or having encountered an inactive serial killer, or a murderer who isn’t necessarily a serial killer? Well, that’s a different matter.
BEAUTY OF A COMMENTATOR. LIKED IT. LOVE YOUR HAIR
"It rubs the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again." What a dark, creepy, unsettling and brilliant movie...
A few other excellent suspense/thrillers:
"Copycat" (1995)
"Kiss the Girls" (1997)
"Along Came A Spider" (2001) sequel to "Kiss the Girls"
"Eye of the Beholder" (1999)
"Fatal Attraction" (1987)
"Basic Instinct" (1992)
"Jade" (1995)
"Sea of Love" (1989)
Manhunter (1986)
What a fantastic reaction.. I really enjoy it.. thanks.. You are a star girl.. What an immersion.. Best reaction I ever seen.. 🖤
GOOD EVENING MAPLE. ITS GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN
Fun fact: The giant cage was in Pittsburgh's Soliders and Sailors building on UPitt campus. I attended a few sorority formals there.
An absolute must watch film. Great on so many levels. Acting, screenwriting, directing. Just a great film.
1990 JACOBS LADDER with TIM ROBINS would be a good watch.
I always get a lil frustrated when u guess the plot twists just before they happen, which is still impressive, but seeing you realise he was in the back of the ambulance as he took the face off was so good.
You’re freaking out when she was abducted. We all learned from this scene and that’s why you’re so shocked. We know better now. The character in the movie acts like an idiot because she didn’t see this movie.
It's literally because of this scene and Ted Bundy that guys who "need help" are immediately suspect.
Maybe it's because Ted Bundy was local(attended my HS), it always seemed to me like people knew about this type of ruse used in abduction. He actually lured a friend of my older sister halfway to his car at the Tacoma Mall before she felt something wasn't right. And then we had the Green River Killer going on for years and years locally. The movie though is definitely before the true crime craze that's around today.
Then there’s Rodney Alcala, who was a contestant on an episode of _The Dating Game,_ and won. Fortunately, the woman on that episode (Cheryl Bradshaw) ended up getting a weird feeling about him, and did not go on the date.
Do you actually believe this?
The Meshuggah in there! Rational gaze
Mission Impossible 6 CHAD?
Anthony Hopkins is brillant
Foster and Hopkins won an Oscar each for this one. 18:36 That scene... It's great!
This is a truly great movie, from the writing, to the cinematography, to the brilliant acting!
