The Silence of the Lambs great scene - Clarice & Hannibal's first meeting 

He did it to unsettle the audience as it would be totally unexpected..... Certainly helped ramp up the creep factor for me! 🔥

@@CharliePetricor Yeah I heard him say he did that once too! 😳😂 😌😂

in the novel i think he was supposed to be on his cot...much the same way he greeted Will Graham in Red Dragon ;)

Now that's acting. Not that whole "staying in character" nonsense. This is the stuff that leaves its mark. "Method actors give you a photograph. Real actors give you an oil painting." - Charles Laughton.

There was a chair before she came

You can see Hannibal is even taken back. He looks away, probably looking back to all the "good times" he got to have dinners of his choosing.

@@RockSmithStudio When Starling said that, I always took Lector's downward glance as a bit of shame. Not ashamed that he ate parts of his victims, but as if he's slightly (playfully) embarrassed by Clarice knowing about it/bringing it up. He always found her so noble and worthy of respect.

@@FarocheCouture Remember that Hannibal Lecter is a psychopath, meaning he literally can't express guilt(at least not in the way doctors define "guilt"). Also remember this is the first time he met Clarice. At this point, she's just one of Jack Crawford's pawns. He's clearly insulted that Jack sent a trainee to him and takes it out on her by calling her a rube. He doesn't start respecting her until she starts revealing her childhood, and he realizes that this woman is actually good hearted and does this work for what he considers a noble reason.

@@FarocheCouture I agree hes embarrassed but I think as to why is that he likes being classified as " other". When she brought up that he also took trophy ( he just ate them ) she reduced him to a garden variety serial killer. I believe that's why he attacked her so harshly . She wounded his ego

@@MM-hf6om Good point. Perhaps she wounded the ego, and she's /only/ a trainee. Such an amazing scene/film.

lmao!

@@musicandpoetry_8 my guess is their prolonged time in their jail cells, when you’re in a certain space 24/7 I’m sure they start to easily notice new things

I like the bit about him eating another guy's liver

And with his freakish sense of smell, you know he most likely can. He's just being polite.

People always talk about how charming Hannibal is. Yet when I try stealing his "I can't smell your c*nt" rizz I never seem to get a 2nd date

Which cuts right to the core of Starling’s as well as Foster’s psyche: ambition.

I love actors who understand their characters enough to improve like that.

Her character doesn't look pissed off to me and neither does she. It looks like she's caught in the memory, the way she moves her head is just phenomenal acting. That slight move with her head definitely made the scene.

He smelled her

@@IamKindness everytime someone talks like this I imagine the movie "the lighthouse"

As soon as I first saw this I know what it was right away

It's a damn shame she was replaced in the sequels

Apparently the way Hannibal mocks Clarice's accent wasn't in the script and so Foster thought that Hopkins was making fun of her acting for real, but she pressed on with the scene and it gave it a lot of realism.

Jay Napier She was only replaced in the sequel and it was due to scheduling conflicts if I’m not mistaken since she was shooting another movie at the time. Red Dragon was a prequel and Clarice wasn’t in it, or even mentioned in it. And Julianne Moore did a great Job, she played a much more mature Clarice that had grown a lot since her time as a trainee in the first movie.

@ is correct

@@GameGloryful Julianne Moore is an excellent actress, but Clarice Starling only Jodie Foster

@@drivingintothedesertuntilt3202 Not for Miggs, evidently.

It was. The score adds to it. The theater was dead-silent. If SotL revival is playing on the big screen near you, do yourself a favor and see it.

It was

I worked at a theater back then, saw it for free and had to go in from time to time to get kids out, etc. Later saw the one with him and his sister. That was vastly worse but you realize why he went mad. He was highly intelligent mixed with madness brought on by extreme cruelty and evil.

Most infamous serial killers are like this

Hannibal Lecter IS a son of Lithuanian Count.

it`s weaponized form of help. Noting is given from Hannibal that not have a high prize. And the Charm and sophistication are just " smoke and mirrors" to hide his sadistic, insanity from his victims. Often naive who thinks " high class" = automatic good intentions

❤Precisely it's that contrast that is compelling

A-Town Alex lol he was mocking her West Virginia accent

She didn't seem to be trying "desperately" to hide it though.

You trying to dissect me with this blunt little tool?

@@MissPieish even if she wasn't he was getting in her head. It's like that Seinfeld episode where Elaine's boyfriend or someone says she has a big head and she denies it but starts like hitting it on everything or people comment on it, granted that's a satire and this moment of him making fun of her accent is allegedly improvised. Another way to think of it is if someone came up to you and implied you were fat and you denied it at first and then it kept bugging you all night and you want to ask a friend if you really are or not, the person who insulted you "wins" if they were trying to throw you off guard because they've said something that you let yourself be affected by and that shows a level of control they have over you because you care about what they think for whatever reason to some extent

true. psychopaths often ask favors of their interrogators to achieve dominance in the situation

The dilemma is that she has to gain his trust, and that entails humoring him from time to time. If she had refused he might have rejected the conversation altogether.

You got that from another RU-vid video dissecting this dialogue

she completely breaks all the safety rules after Lecter helped her find Raspel's head. She sits next to the glass and accepts a towel from him

I thought the same thing, asking the see the credentials was just a way to test her discomfort. She already seems on edge and stood rather than sit until asked, he probably knew she was new before he saw her badge and only asked to see it to see if she would keep her distance or approach to show him. Not only does she hold her position, she doesn't even extend her arm toward him. Once she obliged the first request, he knew he was running the show.

Yeah. To be honest at first I thought he displayed embarrassment, but since most psychopaths have virtually no shame, that's most likely not the case. Now I think his looking down and away seemed like he recollected all of his murders in a flash, and then the way he softly says: "You send that through now", looking away again, is him realizing it's all in the past and he misses it. He's sad for a second there.

How did he do that?

​​@@kiracrystalmanipulated Miggs's mind so he kill himself

Talks him into swallowing his tongue in the book, IIRC.

He eats men and cares about women.

His backstory is pretty fucked up so it makes sense

magnificent huge words truly spoken there ayy fellow big brain

He is sexy as hell. Attractive face and enchanting voice. Just stunning.

Hopkins also improvised being stood up in the middle of the room too as he thought the audience wouldn't expect it and it would add to the creep factor....genius!...... It certainly worked for me! One of my absolute favourite movies!

You can teach that

And the sound he makes when he says a nice Cianti? That was improvised in a rehearsal by Hopkins, apparently Foster visibly recoiled when he did it the first time so they decided to keep it

I know. You can tell Clarice is nervous and Lecter tries to toy with her mind.

Random-dumb question, but do you know what the original script had him doing instead?

@@ddthewolf No not 100% but I think he was just going to be sitting down inside the cell if I remember correctly? 🤔 ....dont you just love it when something that becomes iconic, was originally just improvised and left in? 🤗

@@ddthewolf From the book: 'Dr. Hannibal Lecter himself reclined on his bunk, perusing the Italian edition of Vogue. He held the loose pages in his right hand and put them beside him one by one with his left. Dr. Lecter has six fingers on his left hand. Clarice Starling stopped a little distance from the bars, about the length of a small foyer. "Dr. Lecter." Her voice sounded all right to her. He looked up from his reading. For a steep second she thought his gaze hummed, but it was only her blood she heard. "My name is Clarice Starling. May I talk with you?" Courtesy was implicit in her distance and her tone. Dr. Lecter considered, his finger pressed against his pursed lips. Then he rose in his own time and came forward smoothly in his cage, stopping short of the nylon web without looking at it, as though he chose the distance.'

I read that the original script had him eating when Clarice reached there, Sir Antony changed it. His idea was also to do that with his limps after he said about the leaver. Amazing actor!

@@panosoldgus3952 Yes indeed mate! 🤗

It's ironic that Dr. Lecter is literally the only person in the film who treats her as an equal. It's also sad, cos you see the way everyone else treats her and talks to clarice and the frickin serial killer is the one decent person to her lol

That's why - in a twisted way- they are perfect for each other and that's why it makes sense they got together in the books.

And that is a theme that run throughout the movie. All the other men either indifferent to her, flirt with her or act misogynistic. Lecter is the only one who treats her with respect, despite being a cold-blooded serial killer.

@lkctom2546 I agree l haven't even read the books yet but am excited to these two are so interesting.

​@@lkctom2546Wait what?

🤣🤣🤣

lol me too. “You look like a rube. A well-scrubbed, hustling rube. With a little taste.”

what is the master scene in your opinion?

No, but I am going to go back and listen again.

No I didn't hear that.

No, he was shouting "Hannibal the Cannibal!"

They all knew what Hannibal was capable of!

Ive heard that he got offended himself and for her thinking of her as his guest and like his "roommate" was rude to his "guest". So he manipulated him to kill himself for it. But just something i heard. I would've thought he'd have him do it sooner seeing how for a guy like Hannibal it must being annoying and frustrating being stuck next to that lunatic. Though he does like to look into peoples minds so maybe a case study to pass the time before he was done with him

Nah her response to the "rube" insult is rather childish, changing the subject of analysis pointlessly to Lecter (instead of Buffalo Bill) but Hannibal still respects her considerable potential as she's a top student. And Lecter's attack is preceded by "Do you think you can dissect me with this blunt tool?" A blunder to hand over what apparently contains a test for Lecter himself. It's what infuriated him in the first place, probably just as insulting as having the pompous, incompetent but ambitious Dr Chilton as head of his treatment. Clumsy, clumsy Clarice, tut tut.

@@FlorisDVijfde Tbh they were both being childish

Her response was literally "no u"..nothing profound about it.

Heh... I like how even with the movie being about men never giving Clarice the respect she deserves these replies are just dismissive of her. Yeah, let's see how well you banter with a convicted cannibal serial killer who can smell stuff you aren't even wearing that day. Her response was fine. Hannibal all but walked right into that. Her response reminds me of another Hannibal, actually. "I don't curse on stage!" "Well, yeah you're a rapist so..."

I actually believe he was hoping she would be strong because he wanted a worthy opponent to tell about Jamie Gumb.

She was so sorely missed in the second film (third if you count Manhunter)

​@@visionist7Silence of the Lambs and Manhunter are my favorite movies in the Hannibal Lecter filmography.

Dr. Lecter is a British gentleman - who happens to eat people. No humor intended, that's who he is.

It's so funny when you recognize those same techniques in Stop Making Sense, the Talking Heads concert film he directed.

Rip Mr demme

Those close-ups are just painful and boring in the long run!

The scariest kind of guy is the kind that can control you with mere words. Hannibal is a master of manipulation. He’s terrifying!

@A Frustrated Gamer In the book anyway he talks Miggs into killing himself.

He sure was obsessed with her.

I think he was more intrigued, rather than obsessed. I’d imagine the only thing he would be obsessed with killing.

@@ajaxdgonzo7263 agreed. But I do feel "intrigued" isn't quite the word for the level of almost-obsession I perceive him having for Starling. Maybe an Electra Complex infatuation? Because you're damn NEAR obsessed if you paint a beautiful detailed and SUGGESTIVE painting as he did. Not to mention involving her story about the lambs with the lamb she's holding, further proving he took her personal story to heart and has maybe a weird love for her.

I think Hannibal would have changed his mind (or was thinking about it), but Miggs attacking her was what confirmed it.

In the Books she actually reminded him of his little sister that was killed and eaten in front of him as a child. It wasn’t until Clarice showed Hannibal she wanted him sexually that he saw her as a possible lover.

More creepy than the sound he makes after talking about eating the liver and fava beans

Tailor, not taylor.

Yeah I was always under the impression the he knew exactly who Buffalo Bill was the whole time, but was just toying with Clarice making her work for it.

There's a theory that this scene here is the start of Lecters Prison Break. By meeting Raspail he had already met Buffalo Bill and knew he would eventually kill one day and all Lecter had to do is sit and wait for the opportunity

And she runs to him like a child to her daddy without fearing him at all

yep this scene for Anthony and the screaming lambs monologue for Jodie
