This is the gold standard of psychological thriller films, it was when it came out and still is today
Agreed! 👍
Definitely, considering reaction channels are still checking it out!
Absolutely...more precisely its sub-genre is considered as psychological horror...!! Indeed the last & only one in it's category to win 5 academy awards...!!
She heard him pulling back the hammer of his gun that’s how she knew where he was.
It's amazing how many people miss or don't acknowledge that the old friend he was having for dinner at the end was the psychiatrist from the prison. This is one of those near perfect movies in all aspects.
So, Hannibal did like Starling. It's why he took out miggs (without touching him!) Which to me has to be one of the coolest off screen kills ever. It just lets the imaginiation try and think about how well he knows psychology. He was a psychiatrist and actually did help starrling by giving her psychiatric care. He found her polite and interesting. Hannibal abhors rudeness even in the book. It's why he likes Barney because Barney treats him with respect. I love the artist plot "silence of the lambs" "well Clarice? Have the lambs stopped screaming?" "I have no plans to call on you I hope you can extend me the same courtesy." Saying he enjoys the world more with her in it.
Your face when Hannibal took off the cops face was priceless great reaction man!
Exactly. And Hanibal respected, and may have even, Starling. Most people get creeped out when he touches her hand, but it was the only gesture he could make to her, since he was behind bars. He was communicating with her in a non-verbal yet direct, way.
As I understand, in the novel Hannibal Lexter and Clarice end up lovers, due to the mind games Lecter played on her.
@@SimoExMachina2 ew
@@SimoExMachina2 That is almost a spoiler. Or at least my intended reply would have been.
Agree especially about Barney. The movies are cool and everything but the books are mind shredding.
Edit: Yes in the novels Hannibal and Clarice do end up more than... well you know.
25:07 The bugs represent the transformation he was trying to achieve. From a bug into a butterfly - from a man into a "woman".
Buffalo Bill's revolver is a huge frame double-action, which is commonly cocked before being fired given the large trigger weight. Clarise got the drop on him because she heard him cock the hammer and had the reflexes to spin and unload before he could get off his shot.
Colt Python. Not sure I'd call it 'huge' - There are/were well bigger revolvers. But it's still quite healthy-sized indeed.
That said, FBI/police training generally taught to fire revolvers in double-action, there's even a deleted scene from this film showing this. So it's a combination of having those reflexes and having them honed and conditioned so one is able to have the advantage in such a situation.
@@stang5755 yeah, that's what i meant -- it's huge compared to her S&W Model 13. And even though that's also a double action, they've established earlier that she's excellent with it, when they hard cut to her on the range. Reflexes are still reflexes even if you've trained to develop them. Also worth considering that Bill killed at least 5 people with the Python, so he probably thought nothing of cocking it to, in his mind, easily kill one more. Cocking a hammer seems like no big deal, until you're essentially in a quick draw scenario against someone who hones their reflexes daily. One of my favorite little details is immediately after she shoots him -- her eyes are full-on panicked, but her hands have already dumped the spent cartridges and reloaded by the time she even seems to catch her breath. The training totally took over. Fantastic performance by Jodie Foster.
In the book it is mentioned more than once that the students have firing drills where they are to shoot every round in their guns as fast as possible and then reload and repeat.
@@Dylan_Platt I agree. The point is not about the size of the gun, but the manner in which it was deployed. Bill's (literally) fatal mistake was cocking the hammer rather than just firing it double action because the sound gave him away.
The red dragon is a great prequel to this movie with Edward Norton.
Manhunter is better.
I hope he does a reaction video to either Red Dragon or Manhunter
@@44excalibur William Petersen is amazing in that movie
The whole series is perfection manhunter ,sol,hannibal, hannibal rising and red 🐉
Normally I don’t like sequels, but Red Dragon was🔥🔥🔥
I love the entire Lecter series, even the TV shows.
Your beef with Crawford when he didn’t do anything wrong other than make some dumb mistakes gets funnier as the movie goes on 😂
Exactly! I'm like, "Why doesn't he like Crawford?" 😳😆
Right? Crawford is even better to Starling in the novel (or perhaps it gets implied in the follow-up novel because Starling's career gets stalled after Crawford retired and Senator Martin left office - its been a while since I read them, so I cannot remember exactly), but I am trying to think what in the film made the reactor dislike him. Crawford:
1. Has enough faith in Starling's intelligence and ability to, in essence, put her on a high-profile serial murder case with him even before she graduated from the academy.
2. Has displayed no abuse of power towards her or inappropriate sexual interest of any kind.
3. Selects her as the point person for obtaining help from Lecter - something that the FBI must have desperately needed since they were having difficulty solving the case with their own profilers. Crawford evidently believed that Starling could not only handle herself with Lecter (i.e. not allow him to break her), but also be able to build enough rapport with him to get him to cooperate.
4. Gets Starling into the field to conduct the autopsy (which is actually a bit odd since Starling is not an MD. While there are autopsy techs to help a medical examiner with the actual cutting and removal of organs, the person doing the examination of the exterior and interior conditions of the body and its component parts itself is usually a licensed physician with a specialization in forensic pathology. The point of all this is that the training, experience, and credentials are important to allow the ME to testify in court as an expert and therefore be able to render an expert opinion as to cause and manner of death). If I remember correctly, in the book, Crawford left Starling alone with the locals while he dealt with inter-agency politics because both he and Starling knew that she would be able to deal with the local cops more effectively by using her "poor white trash" West Virginia background to better influence them. Crawford wasn't cutting her out because she is a woman, Crawford and Starling are dividing up the task of dealing with local authorities in a way that best utilizes their respective advantages. This is present in the film, but it is subtle - note how much thicker Starling's accent becomes when she talks to the police the get them out of the room.
5. Cares about Starling enough as a person that he got to know her and why she wants to be an FBI agent.
6. Has Starling tasked with interviewing witnesses and looking for evidence on her own (as opposed to with another agent), meaning that she would be *the* FBI agent that would be testifying in court with regard to these things; Crawford has made her essential to the successful prosecution of the case - she is not just doing the equivalent of a ride-along. Furthermore, it was not all assigned; some of this fieldwork occurred only because Crawford trusted Starling's judgment enough to allow her leave to follow up on what she believes to be a lead.
7. If anything, he is helping her career by including her on the team investigating a serious case of national interest and importance.
I am also not convinced that Crawford made any dumb mistakes. When he made the phony offer from Senator Martin, he was taking a calculated risk - something that would have paid off had Dr. Chilton not been so hungry for fame as to interfere with it and inject himself into the investigation. Crawford did raid the wrong address at the end, but there is no indication in the film that this was a dumb mistake rather than following a trail of evidence that led to nothing. I suspect that, had there not been a time crunch due to the life of the daughter of a U.S. Senator been at stake, the FBI wouldn't have conducted the raid but would have probably done more investigation of the target house to ensure that they arrested the correct suspect rather than risk looking incompetent (it was a high-profile case after all - the public would be following it).
@@hanng1242 I sure hope others actually read that long detailed response u wrote
@@hanng1242 read the book a long time ago and I agree with all your points. Although I think there's a passing mention of Crawford and Starling having an affair (not sure if in Silence or another book in the series), I never had a sensation of power abuse. She always felt like a strong character who made her own choices.
The Caped Informer gets stuff wrong a lot. It's understandable, because he sees these movies through the lens of the current culture. The movies he watches now are the giants on whose shoulders many new movies and tv shows were made. I'm glad he manages to enjoy them. I don't know if I could had I not seen them back in the day.
This is in my opinion, one of the top three movies of ALL TIME. It won the big five at the oscars, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Picture, and Best Screenplay. Phenomenal work of art with amazingly complex characters and Jodie's portrayal of Clarice is something we will never see again - Clarice Starling is a very complex and relatable character who isn't overpowered, impossibly strong for her size- but rather an intelligent individual who is relentlessly embracing her femininity. Through her pure intentions and authenticity, Jodie's character became a symbol of divine power motivated by pure desires to save weaker individuals in her world. Despite the fact she will never be as physically strong as the men who tower over her, she preservers because she sees saving other innocent lives as a parallel to saving the lambs. The whole point Jodie was trying to make was that in the past, since women didn't have the strength or "heroism" that could compare to men, Hollywood often resorts to crafting lazy, unrealistic female heroines (i.e marvel women) who possess unfathomable qualities and don't come across as relatable at all. Besides this, often the only redeeming quality of women's characters in film is their attractiveness, or their relevance is limited to being as the love intrest to their male costars. The Silence of the Lambs changed that when Clarice Starling appeared on screen. The producers took the time to flesh out Jodie's character, Clarice, thereby allowing this talented actress to portray an authentic female role who embodies the characteristics of someone motivated by a well-developed moral compass rather than such trivial, one-dimensional(a relief for audiences). She is then juxtaposed against her male colleagues, almost all of whom are motivated purely by advancement rather than the cause itself.
One of the greatest suspense thrillers ever made. I saw this in the theatres; after that, as far as I was concerned, Sir Anthony Hopkins WAS Hannibal Lecter for the next 20 years.
I saw this movie when it first came out in the theatres. My sister and I ended up running the last blocks home, we were so freaked out! This is one of the movies that is better than the original novel. I never get tired of rewatching it, I must have seen it more than 100 times...
The 2 killers in this movie was based upon a real serial killer Ed Gein
They were a combination of at least three killers, with Gein only being one of them.
@@jmsmys13ify yea that's true
Throw in Ted Buddy too. Using a fake cast and asking women for help at his car.
Buffalo Bill, Psycho, and Texas Chainsaw are all facets of Ed Gein...
Great reaction but you are reading Crawford wrong. He was extremely supportive of Clarice. He was mentoring her to a large extent.
.
Indeed
Hannibal was attracted to Starling, but his 'quid pro quo' was giving her free personalized therapy. He got some satisfaction out of spending time with someone other than Dr. Chilton. "Manhunter" with William Peterson is also excellent. I didn't care for the other movies.
yes Brian Cox was also good as Lector
I preferred "Hannibal," the movie, to the novel.
red dragon is great
Yesss! Thanks for reviewing this, excellent pick, man! Anthony Hopkins gets so many accolades for this film, but I also have to give a shout out to Ted Levine, who was amazing as Buffalo Bill. 😎👍
Yes, it was unfortunate that he didn't get AMPAS attention for his "Jame Gumb" role or the "Goodby Horses" dance.
Another interesting film aspect of this one is the camera work. All other characters in the movie look directly into the camera when talking to Clarice. It makes us feel like we are Clarice. But when she is filmed she looks just off camera. And how all of the secondary characters and extras either leer at her or are presented as towering over her in height--making her different and underestimated. Just makes the movie so intense with a such a simple concept.
Also, Hannibal looking away from the camera. Classic psychiatrist technique. You don't make eye contact, because it makes the subject more open/comfortable.
It IS in many ways a film about how men look at women...
Another great reaction - I always feel like I'm watching a film for the first time when I see your reactions. This is definitely one of the all time great psychological thrillers.
Anthony Hopkins is so good at this stuff. Give him a watch in the movie 'Fracture'
My favorite of all time. Hannibal manipulated everyone, including Clarice. He wanted freedom and knew his new location would make a mistake and he could escape. Clarice was driven to save victims. As a child she saw the lambs as victims. Bill’s victims were being slaughtered, silenced, and skinned, like the lambs. This was her second chance to save just one.
"Oh how can she not feel or hear anything?"
*5 seconds later hears the gun pull back*
"Alright, I call bs, how'd she get the drop?" lmao
When this came out the van trope wasn’t as much a thing as it would become. How do you think these things get started? 😎 btw, the body in the tub was Old Lady Lippman.
Kasi Lemmons who plays ''Ardelia Mapp'', FBI colleague of ''Clarice Starling'' directed an incredible beautiful (also quite disturbing) movie, ''Eve's Bayou'' (1997). P.E.ace from overseas, The Netherlands.
One thing they changed from the book that I think would've improved the movie: the intro. In the book, Clairice and her friend are training, with her friend playing the bad guy. Her friend pulls the hammer back on her fake revolver, which gives Clairice the chance to turn around and shoot, after which she tells her friend not to pull the hammer back on a double-action revolver. THAT'S how she got the drop on Buffalo Bill; he did the same thing, which gave Clairice a split-second chance to turn and fire.
Jody said that Anthony Hopkins scared her so much that she even stayed away from him off camera.
Winner of 5 Oscars including Best Picture!
It was the first and only Horror Thriller film to win!
Miggs should have got an award. Only on screen for 5 seconds, but what an impact. lol
Everyone raves about Hopkins performance, and rightfully so but Foster's is at the same level. You need to know some of the technical aspects of the movie to appreciate her performance. The scene in the basement was filmed using normal lighting with the night vision effects added in post production. That means she could actually see everything all around her including the hand about a foot away from her face and she had to act during that scene like nothing around her existed. Also during her monologue about the lambs a technician dropped a wrench in the background. It wasn't picked up on the audio but the actors could hear it when it happened. When the scene was finished the first thing Foster said to Jonathan Demme was "What the hell was that?".
Buffalo Bill was pretty much a modern Ed Gien though like Dahmer was product killer, not a process killer like Lecter. Also that cop was more or less Blood Angel'd. It was a supposed form of sacrifice in Nordic Mythology.
Enjoyed the reaction but to make you understand where Crawford is coming from, he brought in Starling after no one else could reach Hannibal and was trying a long shot. Hannibal is literally the most vicious killers ever written. When Buffalo Bill speaks to his victim in the well, you seem him start to show sympathy for her which is why he yells to stop himself from getting empathetic. Crawford was constantly trying to protect Starling, like a father figure. The real villain is Chilltan.
Excellent reaction. That finale with the night-vision goggles was something to behold in the theatre -- the people in the audience were losing their minds - me included.
Yes! My boy watching one of my favourite movies! I'm settling down with snacks 🙂
Best reactor because you actually want to watch and appreciate the movie ❤️
After this you've got to watch *The World's Fastest Indian (2005)* to get a real sense of Hopkins' acting range. It's also a great movie.
Good movie, but probably terrible for RUclips views.
shadowlands is my favourite and a good one to react to.
@@maxducoudray Neither is Remains of the Day, my favorite Hopkins film. 😅
FYI This is the SECOND appearance of Hannibal Lecter. The first was in a underrated film called MANHUNTER and he was played by the always great Brian Cox. Also worth watching.
Great movie 👍
Masterpiece!! Plain and simple
I think you need more credit for your stellar deconstruction of the film after the reaction. You totally got it and had some very deep insights. Top tier stuff dude.
The sound when they pull the cocoon out of her throat and the air escapes... Genius!
I remember watching this with my Uncle a year or two after it came out, I'd seen it once he'd not seen it yet.
When Crawford said "He weighted the first one, that's why it was found first" and "He got lazy" my Uncle just said. "More likely he knew her personally" He was only a Constable, but he knew his craft.
Hannibal to me is the anti villain the real villain is the owner of the hospital. Such a great movie Jodie foster is such a g and Hannibal Anthony an OG. Also the movie came out in 91 same year than when Jeffrey was arrested so while filming he was still active.
The weirdest thing about this film happened, for me, years later when I started watching Monk. Such a nice, funny, feel-good cozy mystery series. With Ted Levine playing the most normal character in that ensemble.
Stottlemeyer. 👍 I had been watching Monk for a long time when I realised Billy is actually Stottlemeyer. 😱 A bit unpleasant find as I really liked Stottlemeyer.
“I feel like he knows what he is, and he’s not looking for acceptance.” A highly unusual and genuinely brilliant observation expressed with acumen and succinctness.
"Love your suit" - was quite a punch, because the senator was neatly dressed, with makeup and all, despite her daughter's kidnapping.
That was what the comment was about.
He figured that the senator was more interested in what the public thinks than about her own daughter. Sure she cares about her, but she's still second place in politics.
I’m pretty sure the “Love your suit” line is a cryptic clue, referencing the woman suit Buffalo Bill is making.
Agree with the above commenter. Love your suit is a jab/clue about the woman suit her daughter is about to become.
@@jbrock8129I think so too. He's the type of jerk who enjoys being (thinking he is) smarter than his audience.
The cop in memphis hanging on the cell is loosely based on a blood eagle execution. A viking ritual.
They simply don't make films like this anymore...this film and se7en were incredible thrillers. They've never been matched.
Uh-oh, a Cool Dude is about to enter Lechterville. I read the book before I saw the movie, so I thought I was prepared. Then Clarice Starling walks up to Hannibal Lechter's cell and I am shocked. Just standing there, he exudes Menace, looks at people as potential prey, doesn't blink his "dad shark eyes," and gets into Starling's head toot suite. 11:17 Vicks VapoRub, to counteract the "rotting corpse" smell. I did that "below nostril smear" when I was called to recover items borrowed by a college classmate who had died of a heart attack and wasn't found immediately. 25:07 You missed the significance of "the butterfly/moth = metamorphosis" talk that Hannibal Lechter made about "Buffalo Bill." 27:28 Mrs. Lippman, I presume. 28:07 Lesson learned. 29:03 Remember the ambulance + paramedics' fate at the airport? Hannibal killed a tourist and got all the papers and money. Have YOU ever "had an old friend for dinner"?;)
I really enjoy your reactions. You seem to emulate a chill Eddie Murphy like vibe :) ...your voice would lend itself well to narrating an audio book ;)
"Have the lambs stopped screaming." - Hannibal Lector
I have no idea why you hate on Crawford, he's just old school FBI trying to do his Job. Chilton and the US Marshal service had Lecter in custody, Chilton and that SWAT screwed up and underestimated Hannibal! 🙄
Fun trivia : supposedly Jodi stayed away from Hopkins during the filming because she actually felt fear...
You are so great about paying attention to carecters and you understood them.. You are a great commentary on movies.. This is my first video that I watched of yours and I am subscribing. Thanks for your reaction
I love the ending scene. Dumb doctor Chilton knows Hannibal escapes and is trying to flee the country. He didn't do to well 🤣
This movie, Psycho, and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre are all based off the Ed Gein case. Look him up on Wikipedia. If you haven’t seen Psycho, you really should.
I saw this movie in the theater in 91’. I was 12. It’s just as good now as it was the first time I saw it. Good stuff!
Lector never tells Clarice Buffalo Bill’s name, but you have to remember she broke the deal first with the bogus transfer offer..
I got hooked on this character, and loved the other two movies: “Red Dragon”, and “Hannibal”. There’s also Hannibal Rising as an origin story, but not Anthony Hopkins.
Although controversial, I absolutely loved the tv show as well, and if you’re looking for a mind-f*** of a ride -absolutely watch those. Even if you don’t do “reactions” for them
Loved your insight on this!
Only three films have ever won all of 'The Big 5' Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Leading Actor, Best Leading Actress and Best Screenplay. This was the third of those films, 30 years ago.
I like how you used the scenes other reactors don’t use, brings a lot more subtext into it.
Dahmer never used a van. Or even owned a car. Btw, this was an excellent book.
The first very brief mention of Lector is Dressed to Kill, by the great director Brian DePalma! U will see many themes in that movie, repeated here. Next movie where u see Lecktor is, Manhunter, by the magnificent Michael Mann!! Then this, then Hannibal, then Red Dragon, which was really a remake of Manhunter.
A Perfect Murder and The Game, both with Michael Douglas, are really good psychodramas.
The source material was fabulous and the film held that up beautifully. Hopkins just chewed the scenery, pun intended. Deserved ALL the Oscar's.
Buffalo Bill was the cop who was shot and killed during the bank robbery in the 1995 movie Heat. He was also a cop in the movie Switchback and The Fast and the Furious. 🙂
Watch Manhunter by Michael Mann (wrote and directed Heat). Based on the first Thomas Harris novel Red Dragon, Hannibal Lecter's first appearance. Brian Cox plays Lecktor (spelling for some reason) and he is chilling. Scarier than Hopkins in my opinion.
Really nice editing, CI. All the clues.
The 2-season show "Mindhunter" makes a perfect companion to this.
Also check out Brian Cox's performance as Dr. Lecter in 1986's Manhunter.
"I´m having an old friend for dinner". They should´ve stopped right there. A perfect ending. Chilton comes back for the sequel! And Clarice / Foster gets replaced by Julianne Moore.
One of the only movies that can really get into your psyche. Scared the crap out of me the first time I saw it. On the level with The Exorcist. IMO
I've been to the FBI academy multiple times. All scenes at the fbi were actually filmed on the grounds. And the elevator scene in the beginning is true, majority of recruits in the FBI, are large men with muscles on muscles.
Good reaction.
9:36 - "Jefferey Dahmer handbook" That is impossible because of 3 very important reasons.
1 - Jeffery Dahmer killed and ate teenaged boys and young men only.
2 - Jeffery Dahmer didn't have a van. Many of his victims were guys he picked up in gay bars.
3 - The Silence of the Lambs came out on February 14, 1991 and Jefferey Dahmer was caught on July 22, 1991.
Just so that you know, they based the kidnapping of the girl with the fake broken arm on Ted Bundy who used this tactic over and over again to get women into his vehicle.
25:07 - "What are the bugs for?" Hannibal explained that earlier in the movie. The cocoon represents change. It's his signature card. He wants to be a woman so he makes a woman's suit out of their skin.
I think he didn't notice WHO the "old friend" for dinner was
It's great that you picked up on what Demme (the director) is saying through the camera angles. That technique of direct address (where the character talks straight to the camera) is his signature trope - it appears in all his films. But here he uses it very deliberately, to put us in Clarice's place so we can see what she sees, what she deals with every single day of her life. Which is what EVERY WOMAN deals with every single day of her life. All those looks and leers and stares, the smarmy grins and the visual undressings, the constant threat that lies under the surface of all that "attention". This is not unique to Clarice. We ALL have to deal with this, every day, every week, every year, for our whole lives. It's relentless, it only stops when we're old enough not to be fodder (and even THEN it doesn't really stop, it only goes silent). it's exhausting, painful, humiliating - and Demme captures it perfectly. The only difference between Chilton and Miggs is the degree to which they're willing to say/do what they're really thinking. That is why Lecter strikes Clarice so differently: on the one hand, he is unfailingly courteous and in his way, kind; on the other, he very clearly wants to consumer her, though he politely restricts himself to consuming her memories and refuses to go any further. In a world of men constantly presuming they have a right to her, Lecter must have come off as a unique presence in her life - a man who respected her humanity, her integrity, and her intelligence. It's just ironic that that man is a cannibalistic monster.
4:42 ha!! God, I love this movie😂
Always good to see the Deputy, Ops.
Where ya at “Wire” fans?
On to the sequel!
The other great Lecter movie is Manhunter (later remade as Red Dragon, but Manhunter is much better). Manhunter is a Michael Mann movie, the same filmmaker who made Heat and Collateral.
Not usually an Oscar type of movie but this one won all the major awards, and deservedly so. Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director. I heard Martha Stewart actually dated Hopkins a year or so ago and couldn't get the Hannibal image out of her mind. She had to call it off. Ha!
The author, Thomas Harris, did amazing research for all of his Hannibal books, with Red Dragon and Silence being the best ones. Even Hannibal (not as good) has amazing detail about Italian history and how it relates to the story.
Great reaction to an iconic movie.
cars didn't have bucket seats when I was a kid, it was one long seat in front and back. It really screwed up going to the drive ins when bucket seats came along.
It’s your face at 24:52 for me 😂🤣
At last. Somebody saw how fast Hannibal took charge. Immediately, as soon as he said show me your ID.
Yeah, I'm a bit surprised that I haven't seen any other reactor comment on that.
“Where’d he find the time , or inspiration “ lol
Love all the portrait shots of people looking directly at the lens, gives the film a subtly unnerving tone.
The guy who handed Clarice her badge at graduation was not an actor. He is John Douglas, former head of the FBI Behavioral Science Unit.
the sheep is a lamb and refers to leading her to the saluter like you would a lamb.
Fun Fact. The third asylum patient, the one on the other side of Migs who said Hi to Clarice as she walked by was played by the same actor who played Chef Brockett on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood
Crawford was actually genuine the whole movie. Don't get why you think he was a dick the whole time. Also fun fact the scene where Hannibal talks about eating a mans liver with beans and wine those food and drink are natural counters to the drugs an Asylum might give to some one like Hannibal. Also in the book the wine was an Amarone because that pares better with liver as opposed to Cianti which doesn't but the line was changed because the makers of the movie thought Cianti was more recognizable.
It would be cool if you reacted to "Hannibal" the sequel, it seems pretty rare on youtube for people to react to it. It's missing Jodi Foster, but it's still worth a watch I think. You could do the prequel "Red Dragon" as well. Anyways nice reaction.
IMO "Manhunter" is a better quality version of the red dragon story, with Brian Cox as Lecter
Gary Oldman is fascinating
08:59 The head shake, bahaha
Thanks for sharing this. "The World's Fastest Indian" is a worthwhile and very different Anthony Hopkins movie based on a true story.
The Texas chainsaw massacre was all set was also based on Ed Gein
Sir Anthony is one of my all time favorites, no one else could have played Hannibal, to see the full evolution of Hannibal Lector...watch all of the movies in order.....Hannibal Rising, Red Dragon, Silence Of The Lambs & Hannibal....His character is so facinating....(they were not filmed in order). Great reaction!!!
I saw the house on RUclips. The basement was bare and the owner said that was built in the studio. I will try to find it for you. 😊
ruclips.net/video/MWANjN8V7WU/видео.html
Here’s another RUclips video, new owner and making the basement like the first floor!
The bugs represent metamorphosis - change from an ugly caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly. Buffalo Bill is trying to create his own metamorphosis.
That was awsome 🤪 There's 2 movies who follows this one, (still with Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter) :
- Hannibal 2001
- the Red dragon
😁
1. This thing snagged all 5 of the big OSCARS
2. IRL you're wasting your time trying to pick that up. She doesn't do men.
3. Lt. Boyle also played "Murdock I'm commin' to get you". Rambo II
4. Ted Levine got death threats for the performance he did playing Buffalo Bill.
5. The FBI actually let them use Quantico.
6. The lisping following "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." was ad lib to see if she would freak out. It was the first scene thy did together and it worked.
This movie ranked at #7 in the 100 scariest movie moments on Bravo, cool reaction as always C.I., Peace
He is Dracula, the ultra sophisticated Dracula in some Vampire movies.
Lector had long ago hidden false ID and passport (which would have to be renewed) in the event that he ever had to make an escape. It's in the novel.
