Silence of the Lambs really is a masterpiece. Having read the book before I watched the film, I can say I was surprisingly pleased with the film adaptation. I can’t say that about most film adaptations unfortunately.
On the Move Real Estate Photography I agree wholeheartedly. I peasant surprise. Her roommate helped her a bit more in the book if i remember but I could be wrong
On the Move Real Estate Photography I read the book before seeing the film too. Question for you - how did you feel about the senator’s daughter when you read the book (as opposed to the screen version)?
Its a little known fact that the line about the wine and the beans was a subtle hint to clarice. See, at the time the kind of meds used on doctor lector had 2 things that you could Not consume while on them without risking your life. What were they? Fava beans and alcohol. He wasnt telling her a story of when he ate someone. He was telling her hes off his meds, and that he was still very, VERY dangerous Edit: make that 3 things. Liver too.
There are other differences: 1) In the book, the moth was a Black Witch, not a Death's Head. 2) Cut from the film is a scene in which a Johns Hopkins doctor berates Crawford for stereotyping transexuals. 3) Lecter has maroon eyes in the book. 4) Gumb had a habit of watching a video of a woman he claimed was his mother before killing his victims. 5) In another case of time condensing, Catherine held Precious hostage for much longer in the book. Clarice arrived and dispatched Gumb just as he had pieced together that Catherine had no intention of hurting his dog. 6) No mention of Precious's ultimate fate: one of the firemen who was called to get Catherine out of the pit decided to take her home with him. 7) Gumb did manage to choke out a death rattle before dying: "How does it...feel... to be... so beautiful?" 8) Gumb's killing methods started out much more sloppily: initially he would slip a rope around his victim's neck after luring her upstairs, then he'd push her back down. 9) The makeshift key Lecter used to escape was a project he'd been working on from the beginning of his incarceration. He collected bits and pieces left behind by careless orderlies, and by the time Barney took charge, it was too late. 10) When Lecter called Clarice back and gave her some info after Miggs threw his semen at her, he started out as being loud and indignant, but then calmed down and gave her the clue with his usual demeanor. It wasn't a shouting match from start to finish. 11) Cut from the film is a scene in which Clarice searches Catherine Martin's apartment, finds some shady materials, and gets into an argument with Senator Martin about her daughter's life.
also, when Lecter was interrogated by Senator Martin, Lecter gave them false hint. 1. In the movie Lecter said that the killer's name is LOUIS FRIEND (anagram for IRON SULFIDE, also known as Fool's Gold, which means Lecter's clues are useless). 2. In the book Lecter simply said that the killer's name is BILLY RUBIN, which is a word play for Bilirubin, the pigment contained in feces, and the color of Chilton's hair is similar to feces.
One of the things I loved about the movie is that the changes to the book were made smartly and the scriptwriter made sure to fill in the potential plot hole created by these changes. However, the biggest change for me was the relationship between Clarice and Crawford, and the changes made to that made sense in the movie. What a masterpiece. PS: Who else thinks that Ted Levine is super underrated???
Dewey Salazar Well, in season two they fake her death with the burning chair; in season three Chilton takes her 'session' with Dolarhyde, right down to the whole 'eating his lips' thing. Poor TV!Chilton, this dude's just a punching bag for Bryan Fuller at this point. HDQO101 Yeah, although I doubt that was Fuller's reason I can definitely hear the cries of 'misogyny' as I sit here. Mujtaba Ibrahim Fingers crossed that Fuller manages to get NBC to either renew the show or hand over at least partial rights to the show's usage. He's been trying for three years now.
Dewey Salazar wow, I disagree, I think, the soundtrack perfectly suits the mental state of Will and sets this sick atmosphere. "Love crime" at the very end is one my favourite songs ever written to the series
Yes. I fucking miss Bryan Fullers Hannibal. There is still some hope though for season 4. Madds and Hugh really brought Hannibal and Will alive in such a extravagant way. And i won’t even mention how beautiful the cinematography was- i’ll start crying
I've read the book and honestly, this is one of those rare cases where I prefer the movie over the book. The book very good and all, but the movie is spectacular
I would like to point out that the Chianti, which Anthony Hopkins had to have someone pronounce for him as he had never before heard it spoken, is a joke during the movie. The anti-psychotics Hannibal is on during the film has a warning in regards to what to consume it with and it expressly forbids Chianti due to adverse side-effects.
Chianti is not the joke, In the book the meal is specifically made up of elements that are incompatible with many antipsychotics. Fava beans are famously known for interacting and causing favism etc. The wine did not need to be changed but was as it was thought the audience would not know what amerone is.
"Chianti" is usually a very cheap wine which is considered to be an "every day wine" in Italy, often served alongside lunch or dinner, it´s basically just a beverage to flush down the food. Amarone literally means "the Great Bitter" and it´s a much more refined wine supposed to be savored instead of just being used to flush down food. So it´s obvious that a distinguished and sophisticated cannibal like Lector would rather choose an Amarano than a "cheap" Chianti.
The thing is, Clarice (like the audience) would be far more likely to know a cheap wine than an expensive wine so he may have just said it was a Chianti to get his point across of "don't mess with me, look what I did to someone who messed with me".
You’re all wrong. Liver, fava beans and chianti are three things not to eat on certain medications Lecter would be supposed to be taking. He’s telling a cryptic joke. He’s happier off his meds.
Thoughts so far, Lecter, out of all of the men in the movie, is ironically the only one that really recognizes and respects Clarice. The psychopathic cannibal killer is courteous to her (mostly), trusts her, wants to help her and think she is capable enough to succeed. Its kind of mind blowing but he actually comes across as a crazy father figure. Like causing the other immate to kill himself after assaulting Clarice, he feel protective of her and vengeful when someone wronged her. He becomes a mentor in some way. On the other hand, the rest of the men don't respect her, don't see her abilities and are all trying to get down her pants all of the time. I feel like there is more to explore with this idea but it hasn't hit me yet.
Surprised you didn't mention how Ardelia (Clarice's roommate and best friend) is reduced to a footnote in the movie, presumably to give Clarice more obstacles and less support.
YES! an art of the scene on the final act would be brilliant. You could even start at the moment when the police break into the house to show how they built up even more tention for the final confrontation between Clarice and Buffalo Bill
please do a what's the difference on Punisher the show and kitchen Irish or Warzone and kitchen or season 2 Daredevil and kitchen Iirish just do kitchen Irish what's the difference please I'm begging you
Woah...Hang on...there's two of you??????? I thought these were always narrated by one dude. Now there's two who sound exactly the same??? Well I'm confused.
Yes, there's two of them. No, it's not new. You may be confusing their "book vs film" series with some of their other series which do have one narrator.
I'm writing a psychological thriller antinovel based on the works by Thomas Harris named The faith of the beguiled. And the main character of the story is phisically based off Jessica Chastain and psychologically based off Hannibal Lecter named Jianne Delavastore
Good breakdown! I think the movie seems to be a lot better at effectively portraying the multiple underlying themes. A perfect example of how the elements that can appear in visuals only can help elevate an already exciting story.
3:00 "let us know if you want us to do a video on the male gaze in SOTL" YES PLEASE. 4:08 wouldn't that make the strangest sequel to SOTL? A movie about the horse? PS: love the idea of Mowgli, Annie and Bruce Wayne getting pony rides... which I guess would explain how the horse lived a full, comfortable life: Annie's dad and Bruce Wayne bankrolled the orphanage.
The capture of the atmosphere and inner dialogue through direction and camera work is extraordinary. It's really one of the best translations of book to screen. Both highlight the individual mediums benefit while being complementary.
Biggest difference that comes to my mind is the basement of the asylum in which Lecter is incarcerated. In the book he is a modern cell, brightly lit with (I believe) white walls. In the movie it's some kind of medieval brick-walled dungeon, which of course gives a great first creepy impression, but doesn't make any sense if you think about it.
You should definitely do the video you said you should do. Always do the video you think we want. Always. These movie lists make me look like a pro in Cinema class.
I haven't read the book since the movie came out, but at one point Lecter writes a note to Chilton and modifies the name "Chilton" with a series of numbers and symbols that turns it into the formula for the chemical that makes feces brown. A brilliant and humiliating detail that didn't find room in the movie, as I recall.
at that point Hannibal had told Chilton and the Senator that Buffalo Bill's real name was William (Billy) Rubin. The chemical bilirubin creates that particular colour.
God, I hope Fuller manages to get the series renewed for the second half of the story - seems like everyone's on board except NBC. The teacup has shattered - here's to hoping that it comes back together. If only NBC didn't have exclusive rights, we might have it aired on a different network, or Netflix or one of the other places Fuller has went to for help. Still, here's to hoping! *raises glass of wine*
This video really inspires me to seek out the novels. I still remember the movie experience thought. Some movies just spellbind you for an hour or so and you get so absorbed you forget your surroundings. An English teacher showed us One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest. He said the entire movie theatre was silent at the end of the movie because of how powerful it was. I was watching Silence of the Lambs in the Bitown theatre in Ottawa with a friend. It had already been seen by a lot of people before. Still...at the last scene with the night goggles. I looked around and observed that every single person was silent...hardly breathing. That sort of tension and suspense seems to be lost in a lot of the more modern thrillers.
Appreciate great episode. The film wouldn’t be the same without Ted Tally’s adaptation work. As far as I concern, the best adaptation effort in the history of cinema. Every film schooler or who has desire to become one needs to check all three, a book, a screenplay, & a film as whole.
This is a good example of how to cram narrative at a high rate of speed but have the restraint to use pauses so the viewer can process. Unlike many millennial narration on RUclips that just has one stream with the entirety of each pause edited out.
I agree. Dolarhyde's backstory and fully realized worldview makes him almost totally understandable and relatable. This is something you almost NEVER see in book/screen villains, especially in crime dramas proceeding the publication of Red Dragon. If only Buffalo Bill could've had the same depth afforded to him, right? Then Silence (the book) would be perfect.
Strangely enough, I actually watched both _Manhunter_ and _Silence of the Lambs_ last night with a friend who had never seen either before. Will Graham _is_ mentioned in SotL, but its very easy to miss & doesn't really matter: in the beginning when Clarice is walking through the FBI office she passes someone who says the name "Will Graham." That's it. Also, yes, I want to see the eyes video.
In the movie, every single male character makes a move on Clarisse, which further builds her character as a strong female trying to make it on her own in a world of domineering males. Even her commanding officer, Jack Crawford is included in this, symbolically. Lecter asks Clarisse the question of whether she thinks Jack Crawford has sexual feelings for her, and this completes the pattern of having every male in the film make advances towards her.
At around 1 hour mark in the movie, Chilton leaves his pen (not intentionally) and Hannibal is eyeballing it, so I assume that's where he got the pen to free himself. A few minutes later in the movie, Chilton wants to sign a document, but can't seem to find his pen.
In the book it is slightly more plausible as well. In the book he has six fingers on one of his hands, and hides his makeshift key between his fingers on the other hand. When guards are putting handcuffs on him they are distracted by the six fingered hand and don’t notice the small metal key
This was great. The unsung hero of this comparison is Ted Tally, who did the screenplay adaptation and won the Oscar for best adaptation. He's an absolute genius at compressing the complexity of a lengthy novel into a two-hour run time without losing any of the substance. He does the same for the 2002 Brett Ratner version of Red Dragon. He pretty much squeezes every drop out of the book and gets it into a very streamlined screenplay. I'd love to see a tri-fold version of What's the Difference between Red Dragon the novel to Manhunter to Red Dragon the movie.
Very good comparison. However, I'd like to point out that in the book, Lecter had six fingers on his left hand, not his right. A small nitpick, but still I wanted to mention it. Also, I noticed that in the book, the moth cocoon found in the girl's throat was actually a Black Witch moth, while the Death's Head moth cocoon was found in the mouth of the guy's head Clarice found in the storage shed. On that note, another minor difference was that the head was not Benjamin Raspail, but his casual lover, Klaus. Jame Gumb killed him out of jealousy, and Lecter killed Raspail for his own reasons ("his therapy was going nowhere", possibly?). I feel like the changes really helped the movie keep its excellent pace, and prevents confusion for the viewer. Still, excellent video about an excellent film based on an excellent book. PS: Red Dragon? Maybe a three-way comparison between the novel, the 1986 film Manhunter, and the 2002 remake? Also, Hannibal (the book/2001 film)?
What an awesome movie and what an awesome video. I'd love to see anything else you'd have on silence of the lambs or the other parts in the Lector series.
Love the detail about Pilcher's eyes: "Pilcher had a long friendly face, but his black eyes were a little witchy and too close together, and one of them had a slight cast that made it catch the light independently."
The Shining? The Godfather? Outright untrue, dude. Movies and books are different mediums with different strengths. A straight adaptation of a book with heavy prose is going to be a very literal and boring movie
I've seen the film a thousand times... and I love it every minute! As for the book, I'm presently reading it and indeed... the differences are SO minor!
Scott, if you’re the editor, why did you guys stop showing the actual physical dvd and book next to each other when “what’s the difference” is said. I really miss that. Why did you guys stop doing that?
Silence of the Lambs really is a masterpiece. Having read the book before I watched the film, I can say I was surprisingly pleased with the film adaptation. I can’t say that about most film adaptations unfortunately.

Ox Bellows Yep. And she doesn't fucking flinch when firing her gun, unlike most male action stars of the era.

By following Lecter's clues and literally stumbling into finding the killer? She's a rube, and she's used by Lecter and Crawford in the movie.

Police are not as wise as Barney...

Silence of the lambs does make a reference to Red Dragon when Jack Crawford tells Clarice that Hannibal has scared one of his agents before.

Please do "Creepy Eyes and The Silence of the Lambs"... The world needs it, as demonstrated by some of this commentaries...
8:02, This swap of face and scenes following it was comedy gold.
And yes, I would love to see a Film School'd about the male gaze and the use of Tak Fujimoto's cinematography
As i have just rewatched it, perfect timing!
Can we have What's the difference: Battle Royale or Thank You for Smoking, please?
Well those two aren't alike at all...
Both still great tho
Terence Viloria which version of Battle Royale? The novel? The graphic novel?
Dеаth I’ll argue the book has much better details.
I haven't had the opportunity to read the graphic novel yet.
This video really inspires me to seek out the novels. I still remember the movie experience thought. Some movies just spellbind you for an hour or so and you get so absorbed you forget your surroundings. An English teacher showed us One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest. He said the entire movie theatre was silent at the end of the movie because of how powerful it was. I was watching Silence of the Lambs in the Bitown theatre in Ottawa with a friend. It had already been seen by a lot of people before. Still...at the last scene with the night goggles. I looked around and observed that every single person was silent...hardly breathing. That sort of tension and suspense seems to be lost in a lot of the more modern thrillers.
Made me wanna see What's the Difference Hannibal (the 2013 series).
You did a great job summing up why this movie is my go to example for how to adapt a book into a movie
Appreciate great episode. The film wouldn’t be the same without Ted Tally’s adaptation work. As far as I concern, the best adaptation effort in the history of cinema. Every film schooler or who has desire to become one needs to check all three, a book, a screenplay, & a film as whole.
Truly! A gift for the holidays, or he's been back and I'm painfully behind? Either way, I'm with it!
The ending of the book "Hannibal" Lecter & Starling end up together! The move was completely different!
This is a good example of how to cram narrative at a high rate of speed but have the restraint to use pauses so the viewer can process. Unlike many millennial narration on RUclips that just has one stream with the entirety of each pause edited out.
7:25 he has 6 fingers on his left hand
Definitely do more SOTL videos! I wanna hear about that ending you mentioned
I actually ended up liking the book version of Red Dragon better than Silence of the Lambs.
Holy shit! Someone who finally agrees with me.
I agree. I think Red Dragon is the best book of the series, but SOTL is the best film.
Exactly.
I agree. Dolarhyde's backstory and fully realized worldview makes him almost totally understandable and relatable. This is something you almost NEVER see in book/screen villains, especially in crime dramas proceeding the publication of Red Dragon. If only Buffalo Bill could've had the same depth afforded to him, right? Then Silence (the book) would be perfect.
I join you guys in that assumption. I read the books after I saw the movies. It was a first for me. I liked the experience.
Another great video as always👍
Strangely enough, I actually watched both _Manhunter_ and _Silence of the Lambs_ last night with a friend who had never seen either before. Will Graham _is_ mentioned in SotL, but its very easy to miss & doesn't really matter: in the beginning when Clarice is walking through the FBI office she passes someone who says the name "Will Graham." That's it.
Also, yes, I want to see the eyes video.
very good job CineFix thumbs up!i really enjoy your videos!!keep doing it boys,Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina
In the movie, every single male character makes a move on Clarisse, which further builds her character as a strong female trying to make it on her own in a world of domineering males. Even her commanding officer, Jack Crawford is included in this, symbolically. Lecter asks Clarisse the question of whether she thinks Jack Crawford has sexual feelings for her, and this completes the pattern of having every male in the film make advances towards her.
One of the greatest book series and movie series ever made! My favorite!!!
But how does Lector get the pen to free himself!?!
Chilton left it behind in his cell by accident.
At around 1 hour mark in the movie, Chilton leaves his pen (not intentionally) and Hannibal is eyeballing it, so I assume that's where he got the pen to free himself. A few minutes later in the movie, Chilton wants to sign a document, but can't seem to find his pen.
Kjleed13 Barney must have helped him.
In the book it is slightly more plausible as well. In the book he has six fingers on one of his hands, and hides his makeshift key between his fingers on the other hand. When guards are putting handcuffs on him they are distracted by the six fingered hand and don’t notice the small metal key
I always liked this interpretation. Barney and Hannibal had quite an amicable relationship.
alright guys, this was great. I'm subscribing. I look forward to more videos like this. Well done. Thanks for your hard work.
I would love a video about creepy stares in Silence of the Lambs!
This was great.
The unsung hero of this comparison is Ted Tally, who did the screenplay adaptation and won the Oscar for best adaptation.
He's an absolute genius at compressing the complexity of a lengthy novel into a two-hour run time without losing any of the substance.
He does the same for the 2002 Brett Ratner version of Red Dragon. He pretty much squeezes every drop out of the book and gets it into a very streamlined screenplay.
I'd love to see a tri-fold version of What's the Difference between Red Dragon the novel to Manhunter to Red Dragon the movie.
Very good comparison. However, I'd like to point out that in the book, Lecter had six fingers on his left hand, not his right. A small nitpick, but still I wanted to mention it. Also, I noticed that in the book, the moth cocoon found in the girl's throat was actually a Black Witch moth, while the Death's Head moth cocoon was found in the mouth of the guy's head Clarice found in the storage shed. On that note, another minor difference was that the head was not Benjamin Raspail, but his casual lover, Klaus. Jame Gumb killed him out of jealousy, and Lecter killed Raspail for his own reasons ("his therapy was going nowhere", possibly?). I feel like the changes really helped the movie keep its excellent pace, and prevents confusion for the viewer. Still, excellent video about an excellent film based on an excellent book.
PS: Red Dragon? Maybe a three-way comparison between the novel, the 1986 film Manhunter, and the 2002 remake? Also, Hannibal (the book/2001 film)?
Happy to see this. One of my favourite book series.
I have bought many of the books that you did videos on such as the shining and psycho
Thanks for my request! :D
You should do a video for Hannibal! Cut out one of the main characters, and completely changed the ending.
Great video from a great channel. Thank you!
Do Full Metal Jacket
Oh yes! I was waiting so much for this video !
Omg pls do the other books/movies
What an awesome movie and what an awesome video. I'd love to see anything else you'd have on silence of the lambs or the other parts in the Lector series.
Are Clint and Michael the same guy? They sound so alike!
Love the detail about Pilcher's eyes:
"Pilcher had a long friendly face, but his black eyes were a little witchy and too close together, and one of them had a slight cast that made it catch the light independently."
When movies stay close to their inspirational books they always become masterpieces. How come this is something that hard for directors to grasp?
There is a whole lot of movies that made a lot of changes an are masterpieces as well.
Who framed Roger Rabitt for example.
I would have gone with The Shining but ok.
Most books cannot fit into a 2-hour runtime
The Shining? The Godfather? Outright untrue, dude. Movies and books are different mediums with different strengths. A straight adaptation of a book with heavy prose is going to be a very literal and boring movie
There was one Tom Cruise movie that didn’t
I've seen the film a thousand times... and I love it every minute!
As for the book, I'm presently reading it and indeed... the differences are SO minor!
3:53 - Pumped his shotgun incorrectly, allowing the burglars to get the drop on him - Like Buffalo Bill does with Clarice at the end. Clever!
Yes. I would like to see that video, about the use of camera shots, angles and set ups, to evoke mood, emotion and themes 👍
yes!!!! please!! the men looking into the camera video!!!!!!!
Anthony Hopkins' acting is so good, he can easily grow a sixth finger if instructed so for the character.
hell yes to creepy eye videos!!
YES! Do as many videos about Lambs as you can
please do one more with TV Hannibal
YES I want to see !!! I want to see a WTD on ALL Lector material!!!!!!!!
Would you be willing to do the differences between Edge of Tomorrow and All You Need is Kill?
I believe they have already did.
John Doe we did that one. I’m the editor on all these
Scott, if you’re the editor, why did you guys stop showing the actual physical dvd and book next to each other when “what’s the difference” is said. I really miss that. Why did you guys stop doing that?
just re-formatted the intro and changed a few things.
3:13, hell yes I want to see that. Bring back Film School'd already!
Please do battle royal
do you mean battle royale?
Epic. Yes we need that episode of film school'd!
