The Silence of the Lambs is one of the most referenced films I've seen when we watch other films, Curtis had never seen it and always missed out on them; I got him to watch it so he can finally start to understand! Also, shout outs to our editor Eduardo who loves this movie, dude edited in the fastest time I've ever seen!
I really don't like you guys talking over / having a conversation while leaving the movie running and completely ignoring it. I wanted to see your reaction to the perverted psychologist hitting on her.
THANK YOU EDUARDO!! ❤❤ I would sugguest watching the other Hannibal films. 😊Hannibal (2001), Red Dragon (2002), Hannibal Rising (2007). (The origin story of Hannibal.) Edit: Precious (Darla) was also in Batman Returns, The Burbs and Pee-wee's Big Advenure
Wanna have your mind blown? When Hannibal meets Clarice, he shows off a drawing he made of the Belvedere in Florence. Where does Clarice find Buffalo Bill? Belvedere, OHIO. Hannibal knew from the VERY FIRST meeting what she wanted and where Bill was living. He wasn't just two steps ahead of her and everyone else. He was playing a whole different game and they never even realized it.
Well, I mean, he Is a genius. He's just crazier than a poop house rat. He's Joker-esque in that the more insane he is, the more focused his dark intelligence is. And strong, too. It's why Hannibal Lechter has become such an iconic character and villain
It's been a while but I feel like that's a detail that's actually mentioned in the book? Maybe I'm misremembering; it's been about 20 years since I read them lol
@suemiller2522 Yeah, no, it was mentioned in the book. It says, both somewhat from lecter's perspective, and later confirmed by Jack Crawford I believe, that he knew who Bill was and where he was from their first meeting.
Fun Fact: Jodie Foster said while making the film that she tried to avoid Anthony Hopkins as much as possible because he was "really scary". On the last day of filming she told him that and Anthony Hopkins' response was "I was scared of YOU!" Also, Anthony Hopkins was only on screen for less than 20 minutes and gave one of the most memorable Oscar-worthy performances of the decade. I'm glad you guys finally got to experience this film!
@@blakerh Well, it was interesting news to me. MOST people like "'fun facts." You don't like them, don't read the comments. Go Troll under a bridge. It doesn't make you edgy or cool to insult someone. It makes you a jerk.
@@blakerh It happens with almost every reaction video. People read something on a video and then cut and paste it to a channel reacting to the same movie. The desperate need to get Likes is not to be underestimated. On the other hand, it sucks if the person posting is the one who actually found out the information and gets accused of cutting and pasting, though. haha
Just when you think the reactors' community has mined Silence of the Lambs to exhaustion, Curtis steps up and adds the term "nut-by" to the franchise canon. Well done, sir, well done.
@shanepye7078 Ewww! DON'T say web sling! YES I KNOW it's actually a real term but I'M an international prisoner and human rights advocate for OVER 40 years and trust me. It IS a thing that's said behind the wall. You JUST made me FUCKING snarf cold water out my nostrils! Bwaaah Haaaa! 😂 #NYGenXBIKERLady #FormerLIFERSWife
“Psychiatrist” is a doctor, went medical school, just like a dentist, eye doctor, etc. prescribes medication. “Psychologist“ is more of a therapist, focuses on working through the problem long term.
Psychologists aren't necessarily therapists or counsellors, they're just scientists analysing the way the brain works. Psychologists often don't see patients at all.
Yes, however most psychiatrists during this time and all the years prior did psychotherapy as well. It's only a recent phenomenon where psychiatrists have moved away from psychotherapy, and into almost exclusively writing prescriptions. This happened because of pharmaceutical companies ramping up their sheer numbers of medications to sell to doctors, and pumping out medications incredibly faster than they used to. It's a shame because psychiatrists have a much deeper understanding of the human brain, how our thoughts, behaviors, diets, medications, and beliefs impact our brains, and all are still taught psychotherapy in medical school. I was lucky enough to find a psychiatrist who still did psychotherapy and who knew a variety of methods (ACT, CBT, DBT, etc.). He was the single best therapist I've EVER had. He legitimately changed my life in ways that no other psychologist or therapist could ever do, and I'd been seeing therapists since I was 12. I'm now 36. Not ONE has had a fraction of the insight or expertise that the doctor had. I learned more from him in 2 months than other therapists taught me in 2 YEARS. I saw the doc for 4 years until Obamacare started, and he opted out of it. Every once in a while, I save up to go see him because it's that worth it. He's constantly researching the latest studies and breakthroughs in things like supplements, therapeutic techniques, diet, and even environmental adjustments to the clinical space (how the mind can be affected negatively or positively based on the way the office is set up). He's a legitimate genius. We need more doctors in general who are passionate and focused on patient wellness, vs. what new drugs can temporarily ease symptoms of a larger issue that they don't even try to address. If you can, find a psychiatrist who also practices psychotherapy.
Hannibal was giving them a clue when he said, "Love your suit" to the Senator. It was a double-meaning, actually. He was commenting on how put together she looked for someone whose daughter was kidnapped by a serial killer, but he was also subtly telling them what Buffalo Bill was doing with the skins. That was the key to catching him. When Clarice discovered that the first victim was a seamstress, that's what led her to Buffalo Bill.
Precious was played by Darla. She was in a handful of movies from mid 80s to early 90s. She also played in The Burbs, PeeWee’s Big Adventure, Batman Returns, and Eerie Indiana. Not bad for being an older dog. She was born in 1975.
I mention this all the time with this film. One of my favorite moments is a tiny moment of acting by Anthony Hopkins in a scene that goes by VERY fast... but so much happens in it. Clarice finally confesses her secret about the lambs to Lecter. Lecter, in appreciation of her honesty is about to tell her the information she needs to know, but at that exact second, he senses Chilton enter. At that moment... watch... Lecter is furious that Chilton entered at a point when he was about to make good on his promise to Clarice. Not wanting to reveal anything to Chilton he feels frustration because he can't make good on his promise and he then feels guilt about going against his own word after she had been so forthright and honest to him and then he is sad about the situation.... and then he goes cold. It all happens in a flash of an eye, but you see Hopkins going through a collection of emotions - anger, frustration, guilt, sorrow and then nothing... it's an amazing little moment filled with power. Followed by that scene where he touches her finger... the closest we see Lecter being caring to ANYONE So many great little moments in this movie - which is already a fantastic film.
It's one of these rare films that won the big 5 Oscars: best picture, best (adapted) screenplay, best director, best actress, best actor (although considering his screentime, Lecter is basically a supporting character, but Hopkins made such a performance you don't even notice he's not in it that much).
Hey guys. Welcome back to the classics. The Silence of the Lambs is a classic. Here's how these movies go in order 1. Hannibal Rising 2. Manhunter 3. Red Dragon: the remake of 2. 4. The Silence of the Lambs 5. Hannibal Now you have to watch the other 4 movies. I look forward to seeing you watch and react to them.
I remember the first time I saw the last movie, *Hannibal* . I have a pretty high tolerance for horror, "the creep factor," macabre-ness, scary stuff, etc in movies... but there is a scene in *Hannibal* that shocked the everlovin' daylights out of me. I am *SO* looking forward to you guys watching that movie, down the line. 😁
I remember watching this in the theater as a kid. When the lights get turned out at the end, I heard everyone in the theater GASP! So guuuuuuud. Thank you Clarice, thank you.
I think both Hannibal and Red Dragon are decent additions to the franchise. Manhunter is absolutely better than Red Dragon, but I still prefer RD solely for marathoning because of Hopkins consistency. Hell, watch ‘em all!
Meryl Streep, Laura Dern, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Meg Ryan were considered for the role of Clarice Starling, but they all turned it down as they learned it was going to be a dark and violent movie. John Lithgow, Louis Gosset Jr, William Friedkin, Forest Whitaker, Jack Nicholson, Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman, Morgan Freeman, and Robert Duvall were considered for the role of Hannibal Lector. Harrison Ford, Gene Hackman, and Michael Keaton were considered for for Jack Crawford.
I always thought Holly Hunter would have been a good Clarice. But Jodie Foster nails it, and there'd probably be too much Ed from Raising Arizona comparisons.
There are references to Ed Gein and Ted Bundy, 2 infamous American serial killers, in this movie. The way they blended their crimes into the storyline is really scary and all too real. Btw it wasn't a compliment Lecter was giving the senator when he said he loved her suit. He was dropping a big ass clue lol.
In the book, they have a chapter early one where Clarice is working on rapid fire and how long it takes her to empty her pistol and reload... and it really pays off in her reaction time the moment she hears the hammer being cocked in the book,
I saw this movie on VHS in 1991 at 10 years old, when my oldest sis, who was 17 had a movie night with her friends. It was the first time I understood why I couldn't hang out with the "big kids. "This movie changed my perception of the world forever, because before this movie, I didn't know that this type of killing, serial killing and all it entails, was a thing. That someone could kidnap another person then ritualistically take another human apart for their own gratification. This was also the last day I was actually scared of any classic horror film, because after this I knew that real monsters could be a neighbor or that quiet guy who lives down the street. You just never know. It's another reason why we should all just treat each other with common courtesy, because it could actually save your life.
Your original reaction to Silence of the Lambs is the first reaction I ever watched on your channel, and I enjoyed it so much I kept watching your other reactions. Great choice to watch it again with your bro!!!
"No, not Precious! NO!!" I don't know why, but that set me off giggling. Also: the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist is the latter has about 4 extra years of schooling so they can prescribe medication. They are also more likely to deal with cases of more severe and complex forms of mental illness than a psychologist often would. Fun video, as always, guys!
@@sparky6086 I'm aware they are medical doctors, hence the part of my comment where I reference the 4 years of schooling and ability to prescribe medication.
Another way of saying it might be - A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specialises in mental health A psychologist is a therapist who typically spends more time talking through thoughts feelings behaviours . Both require significant time at college/ university
One of the best suspense movies of all time. Sir Anthony Hopkins Oscar was well-deserved and it remains one of the shortest screen times (16 minutes and some change) for any actor to win the Oscar for Best Actor.
A true modern day classic, so exceptional on so many levels. Every time I'm channel surfing and I come across this movie, I'll watch it again from that point on. I love the reactions of people who have never seen it.
@@OctoKrool then chest because it’s Monday - universal chest day. I think y’all would approve of my Arnie’s Gym shirt too. Now let’s watch Hannibal and Red Dragon!
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. In the book Crawford did have a "thing" for Clarice. 5. "I'm coming to get you Murdock". The late Charles Napier/Lt. Boyle played Murdock in "Rambo First Blood II". 6. Everybody is hitting on Clarice but IRL hitting on Foster is a waste of time and effort. She doesn't fly that way. She has been married to a woman since it became legal in Caliphony. 7. In the book Crawford did have "a thing" for Clarice. 8. Dr. Lecter was treating Clarice 9. Others will pass this to you as well but: This movie won ALL 5 of the big Oscars.
Thank you Chris for not spoiling anything for Curtis. Just watched a different channel yesterday, and the guy spoiled EVERYTHING in The Terminator for his partner. I was so mad. Thanks for the great reaction guys.👍
The Lamb Who’s Mute would be a great feel good movie. A mute lamb who overcomes his adversity by saving the herd from evil lamb thieves by making a bond with the farmer’s also mute daughter. A lamb therapy study buddy while she struggles and learns sign language to warn her father about the evil lamb thieves. The mute lamb is hero, the mute girl gains confidence and her father understands his daughters struggles and really connects with her and he treats the farm animals with love. Then the farm is prosperous again. Icing on the cake the lamb’s thoughts are narrated by Morgan Freeman. Sign me up.
I took my wife and mom to see this movie opening weekend and dinner afterwards. Needless to say those two weren’t hungry, especially when I mentioned lamb chops as a possibility for dinner.😂
Haha, Scott Glenn looks like a Bond villain. You should see him as a convict in Urban Cowboy. Not sure why no on review that movie. It was huge. Heck no one every reacts to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty or the Gary Cooper film, Sergeant York either.
Sergeant York was one of my dad's favorites, such a classic! Secret Life of Walter Mitty is so good too, the old Danny Kaye version (not the Ben Stiller one, though that had its merits lol)
That same reference for clerks is also in little Nicky, when Adrian tries to open he’ll and the guy in the audience does it. The actor is the real life brother of director Ron Howard
Hannibal is absolutely a Psychiatrist because his character actually studies the science/causes behind the behaviors. A Psychologist wouldn't have been able to help the FBI build out a 'Profile.' They mostly focus on talk-therapy, whereas a Psychiatrist could tell you the traits that makeup a serial killer and how likely it is for them to be Black, White, Hispanic, etc.
This was one of the only movies I was scared of when I was younger and watched this with my dad. W dad. Now you guys should watch the rest of the movies, Hannibal and Red Dragon.
Literally just finishing watching the Clerks 2 reaction from a while ago and thought surely they have watched Silence Of The Lambs now?! absolutely perfect timing.
Classic movie! Looking forward to the reaction. You guys love dogs so much and haven't reacted to Hachi: A Dog's Tale? Need to remedy that before too long.
My dudes! Yes. It is just "Hannibal" (2001) with Hopkins, Julianne Moore as Clarice, Gary Oldman > Directed by the great Ridley Scott. Epic Lady and The Beast/Sleeping Beauty scene and a yummy shocking surprise.
You must watch the "Hannibal" series if you get a chance. It'a only 3 seasons. Such a great series with Hannibal, played by Mads Mikkelsen, thrown in the mix. Sooooooo good. Laurence Fishburne does a good job in his role as an FBI agent. The main character "Will" is played by Hugh Dancy. Excellent acting as well. Here's the synopsis of the series from online, "Gifted criminal profiler Will Graham has a unique way of thinking that allows him to empathize with anyone, including psychopaths. But while helping the FBI pursue a particularly complicated serial killer, he decides he could use some help and enlists the brilliant psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter. The two form a partnership and it seems that there is no villain they can't catch together, but Lecter harbors a dark secret. His own brilliant mind has gone to the dark side and he has more in common with the criminals they hunt than Will could possibly imagine."
the year it swept the Oscars- Picture, Director, Actor, Actress and Screenplay- the host of the show- Billy Crystal, started his monologue by being rolled out on a dolly in a straight jacket and face guard, ala Hannibal Lector... the audience- including Hopkins roared with laughter!
If you're looking for a show that you'll like based on this. I'd highly recommend Hannibal, the show. Mads Mikkelsen plays an amazing young Hannibal, and the series is great
Is the roaring sound in the background to avoid copyright violations? Sorry that you guys have to do that to avoid problems with YT 😔 The noise is kind of distracting though.
Thank you for the reaction, there aren’t enough. I found something not long ago that blew me away and left me in tears. Pilate’s letter to Caesar giving his report on what happened in his Provence. TH-cam Pilates letter to Caesar, it has a lady reading the report. It gives account to the very same in the Gospel but it adds more detail what we already knew. God bless you both
Hannibal is the sequel to Silence of the Lamb. Julianne Moore plays Clarice Starling instead of Judy Foster. Red Dragon with Edward Norton is a prequel of Silence of the Lamb and is a remake of Manhunter (same story but with Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter). Then there is Hannibal Rising with a young Hannibal Lecter and a TV series that falls before Red Dragon.
Some years ago, a friend of mine had won passes to a sneak peek midnight movie. It was "Silence of the Lambs". The theater was packed, the audience was screaming at all the right parts, and burst into laughter and applause on the "friend for dinner" ending. When the lights came up, they asked us to fill out opinion cards on what we thought of the movie. I gave it high star ratings, and my only comment was the night-vision basement goggles scene could have been a bit longer, because I was really on the edge of my seat.
Buffalo Bill’s case strikes a chord because it feels like it could be authentic. Because it is. His rouse of being injured to kidnap victims is reminiscent of Ted Bundy. And his uses of skin are based on the crimes of a man named Ed Gein. Ed had a very unusual relationship with his mom, which is said to have inspired the character of Norman Bates. Ed also had an interest in skin, and made a woman suit, made of actual women and including breasts, that he liked to put on (Ed is said to have been a very odiferous fellow by neighbors). He also made other items like a lampshade of skin, a belt made of human nipples, and soup bowls from skulls. He even upholstered a chair with skinned faces. He was found criminally insane. I really wonder what types of stuff he made during craft time at the asylum. Curtis, you should definitely watch Mindhunter! It’s fascinating as it’s based on a real story, and the criminals portrayed are also real. Just don’t confuse Ed Kemper on the show with Ed Gein. 😆 Although both had interesting mom moments.
The books by Thomas Harris are a joy to read. The way the writer elevates Lecter to an almost heroic figure that we find ourselves rooting for, is pure genius. Anthony Hopkins manages to portray that role perfectly. Do you notice how he never seems to blink?
Fun fact if you guys didnt know, this movie was inspired by Ed Gein and Jeffery Dahmer and some parts of John Wayne Gacey, some of the scenes like the skining scene was inspired by Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, referencing Ed Gein, its so good to have the inspiration from these people
"The late great Hannibal Lector." Right. You know, I'd wager there's a large group of people who used to love this movie who don't like it, or Anthony Hopkins anymore. But I may be wrong, I shan't assume. After this, Buffalo Bill escaped, grew a mustache, and became a Captain in the SFPD, working with Adrian Monk. Dang, I miss that show. 💙
The FBI Director is Roger Corman, genius film maker. Also the Senator is Diane Baker, she is in various Hitchcock movies, like "The Prize" (excellent thriller) and "Marnie".
the Clarice role was first offered to Michelle Pfieffer- director Demme had just directed her in the film- Married to the Mob. She turned it down because she thought it was too dark- Foster went after the role... after the Hinckley story- Jodie knew dark (in case you didn't know- John Hinckley shot President Reagan in 1981 to get Jodie's attention (straight out of her film with DeNiro, Taxi Driver) he was obsessed with her).
Great reaction guys this film would go onto sweep the top 5 Oscar Awards Best Picture, Best Director for Johnathan Demme, Best Actor Anthony Hopkins, Best Actress Jodie Foster, and Best Adapted Screenplay keep up the great work
I was 15 when I saw this in the theatre and I couldn’t manage to see Anthony Hopkin’s face in magazines or anywhere for a long time after 🙈 It took me to Legends of the Fall to make peace with him 😅
I just Googled it and, as I thought, that scene, is indeed a flashback. They completely set it up as a flashback morphing old Clarice into 10 year old Clarice.
Frankie Faison, the actor who played Barney, played him in two other "Silence of the Lambs" related films. He also played the bartender Sugar Bates in the series "Banshee."
Okay now y’all need to watch the 2001 Hannibal if y’all haven’t already, it was my favorite as a kid/teen and it had this same chilling yet intriguing vibe because of Anthony Hopkin’s phenomenal acting

Curtis calling the guy whose eyes don't look in the same direction a straight shooter! 🤣
According to the book, his aim was very straight on that one, and he and Clarice ended up dating for a while.
Just when you think the reactors' community has mined Silence of the Lambs to exhaustion, Curtis steps up and adds the term "nut-by" to the franchise canon. Well done, sir, well done.
It's definitely enriched the experience for me personally.

Thank you Clarice, thank you.
Now y'all need to watch Hannibal the series with Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy, a masterpiece
second this!
I think both Hannibal and Red Dragon are decent additions to the franchise.
Manhunter is absolutely better than Red Dragon, but I still prefer RD solely for marathoning because of Hopkins consistency.
Hell, watch ‘em all!
Watch them all is a good way to go but 'Manhunter' is the best of them all in my opinion.
I think most city folk do not realize just how horrifying lamb screams are. Serious nightmare fuel.
Then don't kill them!
@@alexanderdean8682 um wut?
@@alexanderdean8682i don't kill them, i just make tacos out of the meat that the butcher killed. 😊😊😊
Rabbits caught by a predator (like a coyote) can be pretty bad as well.
Meryl Streep, Laura Dern, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Meg Ryan were considered for the role of Clarice Starling, but they all turned it down as they learned it was going to be a dark and violent movie.
John Lithgow, Louis Gosset Jr, William Friedkin, Forest Whitaker, Jack Nicholson, Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman, Morgan Freeman, and Robert Duvall were considered for the role of Hannibal Lector.
Harrison Ford, Gene Hackman, and Michael Keaton were considered for for Jack Crawford.
If I had to choose from the names you listed, I could see Laura Dern, John Lithgow and Gene Hackman. I never knew all these people were considered.
I'm so glad we got the cast we have in the movie. They were all perfect!
I always thought Holly Hunter would have been a good Clarice.
But Jodie Foster nails it, and there'd probably be too much Ed from Raising Arizona comparisons.
@@richardrobbins387 Yes! She would’ve been a good choice as well.
@@richardrobbins387yeah she's good in Copycat
There are references to Ed Gein and Ted Bundy, 2 infamous American serial killers, in this movie. The way they blended their crimes into the storyline is really scary and all too real.
Btw it wasn't a compliment Lecter was giving the senator when he said he loved her suit. He was dropping a big ass clue lol.
i laugh at Miggs's scene too cause I always think of it with Mrs Doubtfire's voice. "It was a run-by Nutting!"
Curtis: "I'm ready for a feel good movie"😖😂😂😂
In the book, they have a chapter early one where Clarice is working on rapid fire and how long it takes her to empty her pistol and reload... and it really pays off in her reaction time the moment she hears the hammer being cocked in the book,
“Hannibal Lecter 2: electric Boogaloo”… you deserve a nut-by for that! 🤣🤣🤣 Fuck, that’s hilarious!!! 💙💙💙
I saw this movie on VHS in 1991 at 10 years old, when my oldest sis, who was 17 had a movie night with her friends. It was the first time I understood why I couldn't hang out with the "big kids. "This movie changed my perception of the world forever, because before this movie, I didn't know that this type of killing, serial killing and all it entails, was a thing. That someone could kidnap another person then ritualistically take another human apart for their own gratification. This was also the last day I was actually scared of any classic horror film, because after this I knew that real monsters could be a neighbor or that quiet guy who lives down the street. You just never know. It's another reason why we should all just treat each other with common courtesy, because it could actually save your life.
Tuned in faster than curtis yelling wooo😂
I highly recommend red dragon with Edward Norton. It's phenomenal!
Your original reaction to Silence of the Lambs is the first reaction I ever watched on your channel, and I enjoyed it so much I kept watching your other reactions.
Great choice to watch it again with your bro!!!
"No, not Precious! NO!!" I don't know why, but that set me off giggling. Also: the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist is the latter has about 4 extra years of schooling so they can prescribe medication. They are also more likely to deal with cases of more severe and complex forms of mental illness than a psychologist often would. Fun video, as always, guys!
A psychiatrist is an actual MD. They go through medical school, & Psychiatry is their specialty.
@@sparky6086 I'm aware they are medical doctors, hence the part of my comment where I reference the 4 years of schooling and ability to prescribe medication.
Another way of saying it might be -
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specialises in mental health
A psychologist is a therapist who typically spends more time talking through thoughts feelings behaviours .
Both require significant time at college/ university
One of the best suspense movies of all time. Sir Anthony Hopkins Oscar was well-deserved and it remains one of the shortest screen times (16 minutes and some change) for any actor to win the Oscar for Best Actor.
It should have been supporting, honestly.
"I didn't see it coming, no pun intended"
STOP THAT! INTEND YOUR PUNS! PUNS NEED TO MAKE A RETURN!
A true modern day classic, so exceptional on so many levels. Every time I'm channel surfing and I come across this movie, I'll watch it again from that point on. I love the reactions of people who have never seen it.
Y’all have no idea how excited I was to climb onto the treadmill this morning and see this pop up!!! Thank you!
The early morning treadmill grind, much respect!
@@OctoKrool then chest because it’s Monday - universal chest day. I think y’all would approve of my Arnie’s Gym shirt too. Now let’s watch Hannibal and Red Dragon!
@@OctoKrool 5:50 you forgot about Loaded Weapon and didn't laugh dude??!?!!!
I genuinely laughed out loud at the "nut by" discourse!! 😂
People in charge of Oxford and Webster's Dictionaries: Why in the hell have we been flooded with e-mails about nut by for the last hour?
when I first saw this movie I yelled "Damn, bitch got Spider-man-ed!!!"
Right 💀 "I didn't see it coming" "No pun intended"
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. In the book Crawford did have a "thing" for Clarice.
5. "I'm coming to get you Murdock". The late Charles Napier/Lt. Boyle played Murdock in "Rambo First Blood II".
6. Everybody is hitting on Clarice but IRL hitting on Foster is a waste of time and effort. She doesn't fly that way. She has been married to a woman since it became legal in Caliphony.
7. In the book Crawford did have "a thing" for Clarice.
8. Dr. Lecter was treating Clarice
9. Others will pass this to you as well but: This movie won ALL 5 of the big Oscars.
An all-time classic. Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster deserved earning their Oscars. Hopkins played one of the most memorable villains of all-time.
Thank you Chris for not spoiling anything for Curtis. Just watched a different channel yesterday, and the guy spoiled EVERYTHING in The Terminator for his partner. I was so mad.
Thanks for the great reaction guys.👍
The junk tuck led to so many good gags. I think my favorite was in Scary Movie 2.
"Tucked in? Or out?"
The Lamb Who’s Mute would be a great feel good movie. A mute lamb who overcomes his adversity by saving the herd from evil lamb thieves by making a bond with the farmer’s also mute daughter. A lamb therapy study buddy while she struggles and learns sign language to warn her father about the evil lamb thieves. The mute lamb is hero, the mute girl gains confidence and her father understands his daughters struggles and really connects with her and he treats the farm animals with love. Then the farm is prosperous again. Icing on the cake the lamb’s thoughts are narrated by Morgan Freeman. Sign me up.
I took my wife and mom to see this movie opening weekend and dinner afterwards. Needless to say those two weren’t hungry, especially when I mentioned lamb chops as a possibility for dinner.😂
"No lamb chops? OK. How about some fava beans and a nice bottle of..."
"He has the pen still and he hasn't killed anybody yet!" "Yeah, right?" 😆
Haha, Scott Glenn looks like a Bond villain. You should see him as a convict in Urban Cowboy. Not sure why no on review that movie. It was huge. Heck no one every reacts to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty or the Gary Cooper film, Sergeant York either.
Sergeant York was one of my dad's favorites, such a classic! Secret Life of Walter Mitty is so good too, the old Danny Kaye version (not the Ben Stiller one, though that had its merits lol)
Dumb and Dumber has the best reference to this movie with,
"... a bottle of chianti and fava beans." 😂😂😂
Gonna say this 😂
It was in "Loaded Weapon", the "Lethal Weapon" spoof movie, where you saw the Hannibal Lecter behind the glass scene parody.
That same reference for clerks is also in little Nicky, when Adrian tries to open he’ll and the guy in the audience does it. The actor is the real life brother of director Ron Howard
Hannibal is absolutely a Psychiatrist because his character actually studies the science/causes behind the behaviors. A Psychologist wouldn't have been able to help the FBI build out a 'Profile.' They mostly focus on talk-therapy, whereas a Psychiatrist could tell you the traits that makeup a serial killer and how likely it is for them to be Black, White, Hispanic, etc.
Also yes, Mindhunters is da bomb! Love that show, the casting was great!
man i remember your first reaction on your own on this movie it's how i discovered your channel.
It's crazy how long ago that was man, time flies!
This was one of the only movies I was scared of when I was younger and watched this with my dad. W dad. Now you guys should watch the rest of the movies, Hannibal and Red Dragon.
Literally just finishing watching the Clerks 2 reaction from a while ago and thought surely they have watched Silence Of The Lambs now?! absolutely perfect timing.
Peter Griffin: "I haven't been this scared since the silence of the lambs."
Classic movie! Looking forward to the reaction. You guys love dogs so much and haven't reacted to Hachi: A Dog's Tale? Need to remedy that before too long.
incredible movie, the performances were top notch and Anthony Hopkins absolutely killed it for having such a small amount of screen time.
Cinnamaroll and silence of the lambs...best upload ever
My dudes! Yes. It is just "Hannibal" (2001) with Hopkins, Julianne Moore as Clarice, Gary Oldman > Directed by the great Ridley Scott. Epic Lady and The Beast/Sleeping Beauty scene and a yummy shocking surprise.
"At least he's on vacation." I have never laughed more! Y'all are hilarious!
You must watch the "Hannibal" series if you get a chance. It'a only 3 seasons. Such a great series with Hannibal, played by Mads Mikkelsen, thrown in the mix. Sooooooo good. Laurence Fishburne does a good job in his role as an FBI agent. The main character "Will" is played by Hugh Dancy. Excellent acting as well.
Here's the synopsis of the series from online,
"Gifted criminal profiler Will Graham has a unique way of thinking that allows him to empathize with anyone, including psychopaths. But while helping the FBI pursue a particularly complicated serial killer, he decides he could use some help and enlists the brilliant psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter. The two form a partnership and it seems that there is no villain they can't catch together, but Lecter harbors a dark secret. His own brilliant mind has gone to the dark side and he has more in common with the criminals they hunt than Will could possibly imagine."
"Nut-by" 😂 bruh who would get mad at you for laughing at that?
the year it swept the Oscars- Picture, Director, Actor, Actress and Screenplay- the host of the show- Billy Crystal, started his monologue by being rolled out on a dolly in a straight jacket and face guard, ala Hannibal Lector... the audience- including Hopkins roared with laughter!
If you're looking for a show that you'll like based on this.
I'd highly recommend Hannibal, the show. Mads Mikkelsen plays an amazing young Hannibal, and the series is great
I saw this in the theater when it came out, and during the "nut by" scene, the girl that I was with said "oh, I've heard that's good for your hair."
Mary believed it...
Yay! Now you guys can watch “Hannibal” and “Red Dragon” the next two films. I love the trilogy. Love the tv show Hannibal too. Love the hat.
Is the roaring sound in the background to avoid copyright violations? Sorry that you guys have to do that to avoid problems with YT 😔 The noise is kind of distracting though.
I've been waiting for this for awhile! :D
made my day!
Same! About time!
This movie is 33 years old, damn!
“Oh wait… is she a great big fat person?”
I thought that would have been the scene you got in trouble for laughing at.
So, Curtis, do you want to come over for dinner?
- smirks -
One of the best scary dramas ever made.
It was called "RED DRAGON".
You're welcome.
Thank you for the reaction, there aren’t enough. I found something not long ago that blew me away and left me in tears. Pilate’s letter to Caesar giving his report on what happened in his Provence. TH-cam Pilates letter to Caesar, it has a lady reading the report. It gives account to the very same in the Gospel but it adds more detail what we already knew. God bless you both
OMG, I have to have that hat!
Somebody needs to request another Chris Farley movie.
Buffalo Bill actor Ted Levine played Det.Stottlemyer on show 'MONK' 😊
The music score for this movie is great!
Hannibal is the sequel to Silence of the Lamb. Julianne Moore plays Clarice Starling instead of Judy Foster. Red Dragon with Edward Norton is a prequel of Silence of the Lamb and is a remake of Manhunter (same story but with Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter).
Then there is Hannibal Rising with a young Hannibal Lecter and a TV series that falls before Red Dragon.
Yeah Manhunter came out a few years before Silence of the Lambs. Brian Cox was actually the first actor to portray Lector.
A absolute masterpiece
Watch RED DRAGON!!! It’s the prequel and equally good!!!❤❤❤
The "Nut By" is fkn hilarious!! I don't care what any of your sensitive subs say!! Spilled nut is nothing to cry over!! lmao
Some years ago, a friend of mine had won passes to a sneak peek midnight movie. It was "Silence of the Lambs". The theater was packed, the audience was screaming at all the right parts, and burst into laughter and applause on the "friend for dinner" ending. When the lights came up, they asked us to fill out opinion cards on what we thought of the movie. I gave it high star ratings, and my only comment was the night-vision basement goggles scene could have been a bit longer, because I was really on the edge of my seat.
Every time I see Buffalo Bill dancing and I remember that he's also Cpt Stottelmeyer in Monk 😂
Buffalo Bill’s case strikes a chord because it feels like it could be authentic. Because it is. His rouse of being injured to kidnap victims is reminiscent of Ted Bundy. And his uses of skin are based on the crimes of a man named Ed Gein. Ed had a very unusual relationship with his mom, which is said to have inspired the character of Norman Bates. Ed also had an interest in skin, and made a woman suit, made of actual women and including breasts, that he liked to put on (Ed is said to have been a very odiferous fellow by neighbors). He also made other items like a lampshade of skin, a belt made of human nipples, and soup bowls from skulls. He even upholstered a chair with skinned faces. He was found criminally insane. I really wonder what types of stuff he made during craft time at the asylum.
Curtis, you should definitely watch Mindhunter! It’s fascinating as it’s based on a real story, and the criminals portrayed are also real. Just don’t confuse Ed Kemper on the show with Ed Gein. 😆 Although both had interesting mom moments.
The books by Thomas Harris are a joy to read. The way the writer elevates Lecter to an almost heroic figure that we find ourselves rooting for, is pure genius. Anthony Hopkins manages to portray that role perfectly. Do you notice how he never seems to blink?
Fun fact if you guys didnt know, this movie was inspired by Ed Gein and Jeffery Dahmer and some parts of John Wayne Gacey, some of the scenes like the skining scene was inspired by Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, referencing Ed Gein, its so good to have the inspiration from these people
"The late great Hannibal Lector." Right. You know, I'd wager there's a large group of people who used to love this movie who don't like it, or Anthony Hopkins anymore. But I may be wrong, I shan't assume. After this, Buffalo Bill escaped, grew a mustache, and became a Captain in the SFPD, working with Adrian Monk. Dang, I miss that show. 💙
The FBI Director is Roger Corman, genius film maker. Also the Senator is Diane Baker, she is in various Hitchcock movies, like "The Prize" (excellent thriller) and "Marnie".
I like how she got Precious in the end to replace the little cat that starved to death trapped at home during her incarceration at Buffalo Bills
the Clarice role was first offered to Michelle Pfieffer- director Demme had just directed her in the film- Married to the Mob. She turned it down because she thought it was too dark- Foster went after the role... after the Hinckley story- Jodie knew dark (in case you didn't know- John Hinckley shot President Reagan in 1981 to get Jodie's attention (straight out of her film with DeNiro, Taxi Driver) he was obsessed with her).
Great reaction guys this film would go onto sweep the top 5 Oscar Awards Best Picture, Best Director for Johnathan Demme, Best Actor Anthony Hopkins, Best Actress Jodie Foster, and Best Adapted Screenplay keep up the great work
Ted Levine was robbed not being nominated for an Oscar.
Thank you for coming to my Him Talk.
I was 15 when I saw this in the theatre and I couldn’t manage to see Anthony Hopkin’s face in magazines or anywhere for a long time after 🙈
It took me to Legends of the Fall to make peace with him 😅
I can't believe that you guys haven't seen many movies that you've finally watched. Talk about living under a rock
FYI silence of the lambs is the 2nd in a trilogy
I just Googled it and, as I thought, that scene, is indeed a flashback. They completely set it up as a flashback morphing old Clarice into 10 year old Clarice.
Frankie Faison, the actor who played Barney, played him in two other "Silence of the Lambs" related films. He also played the bartender Sugar Bates in the series "Banshee."
These lads need to watch the saw series lol
The cinematography itself is worth multiple viewings!
Okay now y’all need to watch the 2001 Hannibal if y’all haven’t already, it was my favorite as a kid/teen and it had this same chilling yet intriguing vibe because of Anthony Hopkin’s phenomenal acting
