We are watching The Silence of The Lambs (1991) For The First Time Ever! Clarice Starling, a standout pupil at the FBI training program, is portrayed by Jodie Foster. Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath serving a life sentence for several murders and cannibalism, is the subject of Jack Crawford's (Scott Glenn) request that Clarice interview him. Crawford thinks that Lecter might have information on a case, and that Starling, a beautiful young woman, might be the perfect lure to entice him.

In the novel, as Buffalo Bill dies, he asks Clarice "What does it feel like to be so beautiful?" because that what he wanted to be. The abuse that Lecter said turned Bill into a killer filled him with so much self loathing that his dream was to transform himself into someone completely different - into a beautiful woman.

The story is inspired by the time the FBI asked Ted Bundy to create a profile for the green river killer and when they finally caught him they realized that Bundys profile was pretty spot on. The scene where Bill kidnaps Catherine is also inspired by bundy who would fake having a broken arm and pretend to be struggling to get something in his car to get a woman to help him and he would hit her over the head and push her in his car. The character of Buffalo bill was inspired by several serial killers including Ed Gein who when he was arrested was found to have stolen recently buried body’s and made things from peoples skin like a lampshade and a pair of gloves, he also made furniture with peoples skulls and bones. I recently found out that the actors who played Buffalo bill and Catherine actually dated while making the movie.

You guys picked up on the fact that Hopkins never blinks in the movie. He used that tactic to make himself be even scarier and menacing. This was to give the feeling that his gaze was penetrating your soul at the deepest levels. This technique took loads of practice from For Anthony Hopkins to achieve full-on acting with nuance while maintaining complete control of his facial features. Especially at the airport scene when he has the mask on. Hopkins has to act with just his eyes and eyebrows.

@chrisg9196 Год назад

🎯👁 At 11:17 Lector gave Starling what she wanted most: "advancement, of course." So instead of feeding her the solution, he guided her along. Mentoring her in how to reason through evidence, so that she would advance in her career going forward. Lector took a liking to her because of the mutual trust/respect during the initial encounter. Lector later called her a "clever girl" stating to Starling "you don't know how close you are to catching" Buffalo Bill. Later, Lector quipped, "People will say we're in love" and "the world is more interesting with you in it." For all those reasons, Lector gave Starling what she wanted most: "advancement, of course." (NOTE: Lector's wince and grimace when Starling tells him how her father died. Showed Lector has a degree of compassion for young Starling's loss and pain. He's evil, but there were signs indicating motive for helping Starling. Also, Lector intentionally sent the other officers on a red-herring by giving false information, thereby, giving Starling more time and opportunity to find Buffalo Bill before anyone else.)

@@chrisg9196 Exactly! It sounds so weird to say he actually ‘likes’ someone, the way a ‘normal’ person would, but I guess what we saw was how Lector makes friends. Lol. But that question of whether a psychopath can have actual friends is the real riddle. Its like when Clarice said he would never kill her because he would consider that rude. Even she had trouble describing their ‘friendship.’

@kristianh.pedersen2 Год назад

At their first encounter Lecter wievs her as a career-climber, and he has no sympathy for that, so he dismisses her. But when Migs assault her, so to speak, he feels responsible because she is a guest in his home. His quaint wiev on the situation. So he gives her a tidbit. If she's not smart enough to figure out what 'in your own shelf' means, then too bad. Later, when he finds out she is not driven by ambition, but rather by the trauma of her fathers death and the slaughtering of the lambs, he develops a genuine sympathy for her. He does not know the details from the start of course, but he soon senses that there is more to her than mere ambition.

@chrisg9196 Год назад

@@kristianh.pedersen2 Good observations. Also, it appears to me that Lector coveted delving into Starlings mind: a sort of mental intercourse, evidenced by the creepy and chilling finger caress while handing the case file back to Starling through the cage bars. The exchanged consummated by the cathartic "Thank you, Clarice. Thank you" from Lector. The dialogue in this movie is so well done. The acting, superior. I cannot think of any recent movies that have been done as well as this.

@dabe1971 Год назад

Hopkins played the role in 3 movies: This, it’s sequel Hannibal and it’s prequel, Red Dragon. Red Dragon is a remake of “Manhunter’ that you mentioned in the intro. Brian Cox played Lector in that and was chilling in his own way as he seemed so ordinary, not the monster that Hopkins plays him as.

@Cbcw76 Год назад

And the serial killer (Tom Noonan) in MANHUNTER is sooo much more powerful, as is William Peterson compared to milquetoast Edward Norton. MANHUNTER is an on-steriods/volume-11-setting version that was years before SILENCE. One other issue about RED DRAGON - weak Ralph Fiennes just can't match Tom Noonan's serial killer, and all the actors (Anthony Hopkins, etc.) are significantly aged when RED is a prequel so their additional weight and flab is, well, a visual problem.

Fun fact: the movies are based on a series of books, and the writer was loosely inspired by a Mexican doctor. The author went to a prison and met him, and only after talking with him and asking about him to the prison staff he realized he was also an inmate. He was pretty educated and polite. (Edit to add) The doctor was there because he killed his male lover, but he didn't eat him.

Great reaction as always you two. Frankly I’m shocked you both hadn’t seen it. Anthony Hopkins got the most acclaim for playing Hannibal Lecter but man, Jodie Foster as Clarice & Ted Levine as Buffalo Bill were absolutely incredible in their roles. Apparently Ted Levine was so convincing & scary at his first audition that director Johnathan Demme hired him on the spot after one go. I mean, their work was iconic as scenes have been referenced multiple times while Hannibal & Buffalo Bill are quoted to this day. Also, this is a great example of a strong female lead. Clarice overcame childhood trauma & tragedies which she channeled into positive things. She achieved at school & distinguished herself in her FBI training. She displays intelligence, resourcefulness & an ability to adapt & ivercome. She has no super powers & isn’t flipping 250pound linebackers across the room. The message is subtle & oblique instead of an explicit feminist agenda being not so discreetly pounded over your head. She is the anti-Brie Larsen/Captain Marvel. Agent Starling is a hero & role-model everyone can rally behind. Not to mention, she isn’t a one-dimensional hero archetype but an inherently interesting, complex & deep character who has far more allure & redeeming qualities than many other characters of the same vein irrespective of gender, sex, race or ethnicity. But that’s just like..my opinion, man… “It puts the lotion in the basket…”🥴😵😵‍💫🫤😦

@eduardo_corrochio Год назад

Mikkelsen, although fantastic in the 2013 NBC series, does not truly pay homage to or mimic Tony Hopkins' movie performances as Dr. Lecter, at least in my estimation. Hannibal in SOTL is often approaching camp with his wry asides and witty bon mots (although, of course he is very frightening overall because of his evil ways and tendencies) ... while Mads' work on the TV show was so much more subtle and mysterious. Mads chose to portray this serial killer as someone who seemed like the devil himself-- that's how he found motivation for Hannibal's demeanor and look and behavior. And Mikkelsen made a rather dashing and dapper devil at that. Also, I'd say the following to anyone curious about the television series: The NBC show is worthwhile to say the least, although it's a bit too heavy and dark for binge sessions. You don't need to know the films or characters, just jump in and enjoy. (Admittedly, it's fun to compare the movies with the TV series though). I watched "Hannibal" during its debut run-- was sad when they cancelled it during its third season-- and could not believe this was network programming; it was twisted and delicious and beautiful and ghastly. Not for the faint hearted, natch. Its writing, acting, locales, music and cinematography were all extraordinary. Sometimes the scenes were genuinely mesmerizing especially if two characters were just having a conversation (particularly Gillian Anderson's scenes; she started as a recurring character and became a regular). I've watched the series again, three more times since my initial viewing in '13.

He also has a bit of Ted Bundy in him too. The way he abducted that woman was one of Bundy's best known methods: fake a broken arm in a cast, get sympathy from a woman to assist him with a task at his car where they'd both be alone and then beat her into unconsciousness to load her into the car and drive away. Now that I think about it there is another similarity between Buffalo Bill and Bundy, neither one wanted to think of their victims as people cuz it would make killing them much harder.

Sir Anthony Hopkins put on the performance of a lifetime. He may not have had a ton of screen time, but he made it count. Absolutely magnificent job by him. And Jodie Foster really did well for her role as well. When she finally mentioned the lambs being slaughtered it sounded like she was really trying to keep her emotions in check and you forget that she's playing a character. What a damn good movie.

@88wildcat Год назад

Her performance in that scene is even more impressive if you know that while they were filming her monologue about the lambs a technician dropped a wrench in the middle of her speech. The microphones didn't pick it up but the actors heard it when it happened. The first thing Foster asked Demme after the scene was "What the hell was that?" Watching it there is no indication of her breaking character and reacting to it at all.

@lethaldose2000 Год назад

Anthony Hopkins was asked by the director why he chose to be standing in the center of his cell. For the scene of him meeting Clarice. When the director asked him why he was doing that, Hopkins said “I’m waiting to greet her.” How do you know she’s coming, Hopkins said “I can smell her.” Now that is next level messing with your mind.

Just to clarify: the books, films and TV series follow different chronologies. This is the second film made, based on the second book. The first film, 'Manhunter', also had Lecter already caught, as in the first book, 'Red Dragon', and with a completely different cast and crew. There's also a third book, which was made into a film with a completely different ending, 'Hannibal'. He also wrote a book about how Hannibal came to be the way he is, 'Hannibal Rises' , but that more has Hannibal as the hero. None of the books deal with the capture of Hannibal, which is only ever referred to in past tense. To add to the confusion 'Red Dragon' has also been made into a movie as a prequel, which could be considered a a remake, but it's more of a reboot in that it matches in with the style of the rest of these films.

One of the most amazing pieces of acting happens in seconds before your eyes. After Clarise admits to her story and Lecter thanks her for her honesty, he is about to tell her the information, except that Chilton steps in. Lecter knows it the moment it happens - and he doesn't want Chilton to know... and he's furious that he can't repay her honesty as he promised and this adds to his hate for Chilton and he can't explain WHY he won't give the information because that would only clue Chilton in... and you can see all that frustration, rage, anger and regret in a moment's bit of facial acting before he goes stone cold and lets Clarice know that Chilton has come into the room.

Manhunter was remade as Red Dragon (the name of the original book) with Anthony Hopkins and the third movie was also called Hannibal. Brian Cox played Lecter in Manhunter. Lecter's role is expanded in Red Dragon because of Hopkins.

The TV series Hannibal is also excellent, literally the best material of the character, and so is Mindhunter which is based on the real story behind the character of Jack Crawford and the creation of that section of the FBI.

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

@JamesDavis-sh9gh Год назад

Ted Levine, who plays Buffalo Bill is also the same guy who plays the gruff police captain on Monk. Quite a 360 degree change of pace when you think of it.

@rafaelgiovani4014 Год назад

IMO you guys are the best at reacting to movies!!

@nadeeml9276 Год назад

Just like they say on a multiple choice test, Anthony, go with your first instinct lol, you were right!! Wow, Im impressed, you totally called it, that, evidently WAS Hannibal! I love calling out/predicting things, but honestly, I never saw it coming when I first watched it. Excellent reaction btw, loved it when Kacee thought Migs said "I can smell your guts" LMAO LMAO HER LAUGH AFTER lmao! Would you guys, since it's October, consider reacting to more popular scary/horror movies? Would love, love, love to watch some of those. Thank you for an entertaining reaction!!!

Martha Stewart was dating Sir Anthony Hopkins at the time the movie came out. His performance was so chilling, that Martha left him soon after seeing the movie. She thought if he had that in him as an actor that must be buried somewhere in him as a person. She couldn't see him as anything other than Hannibal. And expected him to eat her liver at any time going forward.

@Missjunebugfreak Год назад

I had no idea those two even dated. That's wild.

I truly must admire your ambition in becoming film reactors given the profound and extreme challenges both of you face in perceiving, interpreting, and understanding even the most basic and obvious points of plot, character, and event in a film. Good for you.

@pattyploid6328 Год назад

I wonder if you guys might like Hannibal the tv show that was on NBC. It follows Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter, which is the story of how Hannibal got caught the first time. Great reaction!!!!

@thedarkknight2221 Год назад

PLEASE let this be a prelude to these two watching the Hannibal series on Hulu. That show is perfect for them. Fun Facts about this movie: Anthony Hopkins came up with how he should look in the cell, he said he wanted his prison uniform to look almost tailored to him and have his hair greased back like a rat. And his acting technique for Hannibal was to act like a crocodile or spider, being almost motionless but ready to strike in the blink of an eye.Also if you look closely there is no door to his cell, they had to drill in the plexiglass in and out over and over so he actually was trapped in there. This is also one of only a handful of movies ever to get the big 5 at the Oscars, best screenplay, best actress, best actor, best director and best picture. The coolest fact is that the scene when Hannibal and Clarice have their final face to face the script originally called for a flashback to happen but the director (R.I.P. Jonathan Demme) said that the actors were so damn good that he thought the directors guild would kick him out for cutting away from that scene.

Yes, they need to watch the series

@filmfangirls9163 Год назад

Oh that would be AWESOME. Hannibal is such a good show!!

Now this horror film is a great choice for this Halloween season. 🎃 Great reaction! 👍🏿

@sparks5063 Год назад

I have always thought Ted Levine doesn’t get enough credit for his role as Buffalo Bill, he plays the part so creepy, and his voice is just so recognizable (especially if you have ever seen Joy Ride…hey there Candy Cane)

@icarus7217 Год назад

Hi, this is a pleasant surprise, this is such a great movie, oscar winning performances for best actor and best actress. I really liked the qid pro quo scene as Hannibal Lecter probes Jodie Fosters agent Starlings mind. Nice reaction. ✌

Never seen two adults giggle so much like children.

@AmelBenSalah Год назад

One of the best film in my list, a masterpiece 📽 Anthony Hopkins and Jodie foster deserve their oscars 👌❤

It’s pretty hard to believe so many of these UTers haven’t seen so many of these block buster movies🤔

@daggaboom Год назад

I know it’s said too often but the books put you right inside Lecters mind and the writing is phenomenal. Can’t put the book down it’s that good.

@sethfrego6333 5 месяцев назад

When the agent meets Hannibal for the first time he called her back to make sure he leaves the biggest impression on her. That’s why in the movie he whispers in the man’s ear all morning that threw that on her and he ends up swallowing his own tongue.

@marcella6969 Год назад

FUN FACT: Psychiatry is a specialty in medicine. Since Dr. Lecter is a psychiatrist, he is an M.D. and therefore possesses basic surgical skills.

@winstonmarlowe5254 Год назад

7:11 He was caught by an FBI profiler named Will Graham, who was nearly disemboweled in the process and retired shortly thereafter.

@rowenatulley852 Год назад

"I'm having an old friend for dinner." Best line in the movie . . .

@crimsonda Год назад

I hope you watch Red Dragon (2002). Shows how Lecter was captured and not only has Hopkins reprising his role but Edward Norton and Ralph Fiennes as just some of the great cast. 🎃

@rjwilley9164 Год назад

For more Anthony Hopkins I recommend Meet Joe Black, World's Fastest Indian, The Mask of Zorro, Fracture, and The Elephant Man!

@Otokichi786 Год назад

I remember seeing a young Anthony Hopkins in the fall of 1973. He introduced PBS viewers to Dr. Jacob Bronowski's miniseries, "The Ascent of Man." The episode, "Knowledge or Certainty" clearly outlined the difference between these two world views in an improvised segment at Auschwitz: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ltjI3BXKBgY.html That segment has remained with me for decades...

@TT-wh4dd Год назад

When choosing how Lecter would speak Anthony Hopkins took inspiration from the computer “HAL” in the film “2001: A Spece Odyssey”

@monsomnia Год назад

You should definitely watch the series too it's so good

@williamjones6031 Год назад

1. The lisping sound Hopkins makes after he says, 'I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." is the first scene he and Foster did together and he wanted to freak her out, so her reaction is real. 2. Ted Levine/Buffalo Bill was so disturbing that he received death threats after this was released. 3. The FBI actually let them use their Quantico facility to film. 4. Hanibal was treating her. 5. "I'm coming to get you Murdock". The late Charles Napier/Lt. Boyle(RIP) played Murdock in Rambo First Blood II. A great first time/share. 6. Everybody is hitting on Clarice but IRL hitting on Foster is a waste of time and effort. She doesn't fly that way. 🙄 7. Others will pass this to you as well but: This movie won ALL 5 of the big Oscars.😎 Levine should have gotten best supporting.

Manhunter was an adaptation of the book Red, Dragon, which takes place before this story, but this movie was made to be a stand-alone movie. Manhunter was later re-made and named Red Dragon as a prequel to this movie

@zzzroxyzzz Год назад

A classic, this and seven go hand in hand for me I can't seem to watch one without watching the other.

@charleslee8313 Год назад

Maybe, in the *censored* version, Miggs said "I could see your guts." The actor who played Buffalo Bill is Ted Levine; he was also Capt. Stottlemeyer in the show Monk.

@waterbeauty85 Год назад

7:36 The credits call this guy "Friendly Psychopath." I love that.

@panakobe Год назад

Damn, I remember when this came out in high school. So many things I didn’t catch as a teen watching this brilliant movie.

@frankiek2269 Год назад

This was the last movie to win the trifecta. Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Actress.

Before he became a psychiatrist, he was a surgeon They explain all this on the show Hannibal

Jack Crawford is loosely based on the FBI agent who kind of brought profiling to the Bureau, John Douglas. The Netflix show "Mindhunter" is based on him.

Hanmibal from 1st appearance to last: 1. Manhunter (the only film Hopkins did NOT appear in) 2. Silence of The Lambs 3. Hannibal 4. Red Dragon (remake of Manhunter) 5. Hannibal Rising (fictional biography)

@anonmg1 Год назад

Ok, here’s the timeline: - Chronologically, the first book/movie is Hannibal Rising. A late-teen/early 20s Hannibal was played by Gaspard Uliel, who sadly died in a skiing accident in January 2022 at age 37 (RIP). It was the last book written and last film produced featuring Lecter. - Chronologically second book is Red Dragon. It was the first Lecter novel written, and the base for both the first and fourth film adaptations. The first was Manhunter in 1986, where Lecter was played by Brian Cox. The remake of the film with Hopkins as Lecter was made in 2002. Saw it in theater, it was insane! - Third book chronologically, second book written, and second film adaptation was Silence of the Lambs - Last book, Hannibal, was both written and adapted third Not-so-fun-fact: in the foreword of Silence’s 25th Anniversary Edition, Thomas Harris wrote that Hannibal Lecter was loosely based on a real person, a murderous MD who was an inmate of a Mexican asylum where Harris did interviews for a story he was working on in the late 70s (he was a journalist at the time).
