Are you saved? Where will you go when you die? Heaven or hell? The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Although God's creation was created perfect, having no death, sickness and disease, the creation became corrupted through Adam and Eve in them disobeying God. In this rebellion the creation became fallen through the curse of sin and mankind became separated from God. This world is fallen, but God offers reconciliation to him through his provision at the cross. Ultimately God will restore his creation to perfection when he returns but those that who reject his offer of redemption will remain condemned by their sins and go to hell. John 1:1,14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, 1 John 3:8 KJV He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT.
Watch Starling's eyes. Full of fury when talking about Buffalo Bill, but when Lecter asks about her father again, they look defeated and lost, like she was losing her father all over again. Brilliant acting.
@Gene Connor care to elaborate on that? In a profession where words, actions and emotions are paramount, the eyes don’t get paid as much attention as those other three traits. So what was wrong with my explanation, or indeed that word? It just seems like you have a personal hatred of that word
@Gene Connor a lot of emotion can be conveyed in eyes. If somebody is smiling for example, you can tell from their eyes if they are truly happy or not. What I meant by “underrated”, is that emotions conveyed in the eyes can be often be overlooked by other emotions expressed by facial expressions. Your disagreement with my comment seems to come from a personal hatred of the word “underrated” which has no basis to the overall point of the comment
@@frasergibson5763 idk he was a bit harsh but I kind of agree with him. Like havent you heard in a movie something like "he had dead eyes" or " his smile didn't reach his eyes"? Those phrases exist because it's well known that emotion is shown in the eyes. Even the phrase "the eyes are the window to the soul" shows this, the phrase literally means that even if the rest of your face doesn't show it, your eyes will show how you really feel. It's a pretty well known phenomenon that a lot of emotion comes from the eyes, I really don't think it's overlooked at all. I think this may be just you finding too much importance in your own observation.
The greatness of Anthony Hopkins' performance in this movie is that you can't tell that he is acting. Even after all these years, it's chilling to watch him in "Silence..."
SJMJ91 this whole scene is pretty creepy, and when Lecter turns to face Clarice, whoa! Between his voice and how he describes B B abusive past, this whole scene and many others just gave me the creeps!

SJMJ91 I wish this whole scene from Chilton doing the ' turn key' line with Starling, perfect comeback from her, but still stop just before B b's scene with Katherine. The quid pro quo doesn't seem like a simple mind game to him imo. Some family members have even said He considered he a friend and did truly care about her. Why do you guys think he taunted Miggs to death? I also heard he/ Lecter doesn't like rudeness, doesn't mind kids company. And none of his victims in Hannibal were exactly innocent. Remember all this anyone?
That sequence is a masterpiece within a masterpiece. Demme uses one of my favorite techniques with the switch to the close-up of Chilton. By making that switch, he engages the viewer's imagination to fill in the blank of what Lecter's expression would have looked like as his voice slightly trembles towards the end as he delivers the line about Buffalo Bill's "terrifying" pathology. There's a deleted scene where Lecter is shown delivering those lines and he's got tears in his eyes. That would have been very out of place with Lecter so instead of being obvious about it, Demme goes to the close up of Chilton listening in and Lecter's lines become a voiceover. One of the best things a great movie does is leave out little bits and pieces at the right time to engage the viewer's imagination. It makes what you're watching so much more personal. Another great example of it is in There Will Be Blood after Daniel falls down the mineshaft then has to climb out and get to town. The whole thing isn't shown but you picture Daniel in agony, slowly hobbling into town using a stick as a crutch.
He did say that in Hannibal, when Clarice called Detective Pazzi's cell phone and he answered it. Right before Hannibal disemboweled him and hanged him.
No. He was a very decent man. Years and years of movies made up of countless scenes and lines, and I always appreciate exceptional deliveries. I've also liked this line because of her expression, and how the writer/director also knew many in the audience would immediately think along these lines.
@@cassiacana5335 And that Clarice is choosing to still see them as humans as whole, rather than debase them down to simple immoral shortcomings, as horrific as they may be.
@@thomasgarza9304 If you mean her foster parents, they never did anything wrong. A little cold & too worn out from work, perhaps, but not abusive in anyway. She ran away to save a horse. Not due to abuse or neglect.
@@AnonyTests she felt a very personal emotion regarding her childhood and looked away from Lecter to the floor (most likely because he hit a nerve) Lecter knew this and insulted her on her low end shoes and in doing so demanded an answer from her. His way of showing control.
@@AnonyTests Hannibal Lector has a sophisticated fashion sense. He made approximately 3-5 statements regarding so in SOTL...ie "2nd rate shoes" " You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? To the Senator while in mask "Oh, and Senator, just one more thing: love your suit" He is definitely GQ all day lol
Probably the scariest thing about Lector is that he is actually trying to answer the questions and help, but also dominate and wound at the same time. You can't get a read on him, you only know that he's sinister and evil.
Good source material and good casting will do that. Funnily enough, Jodie Foster admitted she and Hopkins didn't speak to each other outside of scenes. She was genuinely scared of him and how he portrayed Hannibal Lecter.
Hopkins seems to overshadow Foster - and yet she is a bit like Katniss 1.0 - a survivor and a hunter (the opening scene of her running in the VA forest/FBI training center is her "hero's montage").. Yet unlike Katniss, she is willing to use her vulnerability as a kind of weapon when dealing with Lecter - she lets him get closer than was safe, so she could save others - or even in dealing with Jack Crawford. This is a film about "empowerment" done right (in a sense Clarise doesn't need "empowering" - she already is quite strong).
When Clarice tells Lecter that the victim had an object deliberately lodged in her throat, the expression in Lecter's eyes changes (epiphany) as he realizes he now knows exactly who Buffalo Bill is. Maybe Lecter had a hunch beforehand as to BB's identity, maybe not. But the revelation about the moth leaves no doubt. Such good acting.
And it's at that point he really starts playing games with Clarice and also the Senator as they're both desperate and yet he wants something in return for the information.
Honestly I don't know how he did it from a few strips of information to accurately deduce what he was and what he was trying to do. Perhaps being a psycho meant that he just puts himself in the shoes of the killer and imagines what was done to the corpses had a symbolic meaning but the information Starling provides can be vague that Lector could just be guessing yet he nailed it down to how to catch Billy.
@@maratonlegendelenemirei3352 You should watch the Hannibal series on Amazon or at least a few clips. They show how manipulative and cunning Lecter was when he was still a doctor "treating" his patients.
Ever notice Clarice’s tone and rhythm is much like she’s talking to a colleague? She’s talking with Dr Lecter, not at him, which is where most failed with him. Brilliant acting on both parts.
@@dontbememe7364 Buffalo Bill was systematically abused his entire young life, causing him to hate himself. He thought he could change himself, something akin to a pupa transforming into a butterfly, by becoming a transsexual. "Billy is not a real transsexual" - which turns him even more demented and violent.
@@nevillewran4083 ...whereas actual transsexuals simply want to externally be the same gender they have been internally for their entire lives. It's not something you arrive at through self-hate.
@@gsofficial I'd agree with that. My point to loubabell was he already believed he was a transsexual. Their Lector quote continues "... But he thinks he is. He tries to be. He's tried to be a lot of things, I expect". Lector had met 'Billy'. Not being a transsexual as I assume would have been classified in The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) of the time means he doesn't display typical transsexual modes of behaviour. He's a lost soul trying on different suits of identity, hoping for happiness & learning who he is. Admittedly it's very light on the subject, but my reading tells me transsexuals can be very unhappy with who they are. This would certainly have applied to some when the book was written in 1989. I'd have to assume some self-hate is involved.
"From thence, into beauty." And when Clarice shoots Buffalo Bill his last words are, "What is it like to be so beautiful?" Giving even more insight to the fact that Hannibal knew his motivations all along.
@@andmicbro1 In the books though, he was never said to be Gumb's psychiatrist. He was Raspail's. Gumb was Raspail's lover, but Lecter only met him once, if I recall correctly.
I said the whole caterpillar to chrysalis to pupae thing to my wife earlier because she was talking about butterflies. She was confused until I showed her this video. Now she thinks I'm crazy. Mission accomplished.
@@alexmuenster2102 very weird you being educated... I on the other hand, like to distract from small mistakes I've made by making rude accusations to those that are trying to help me... which isn't weird at all!
the cinematography is astounding! The way that scene is shot on Clarice's sharp, blue eyes with Lecter's reflection on the glass as they talk about bill
@@Nour-oy5of Absolutely! The movie did visually achieve such a cold, dark, gritty feel. Somewhat similar to the coldest, darkest, scariest movie I've ever seen, Alien, but in a non-sci-fi setting.
Unfortunately modern hospitals don't do any psychological screening nowadays, any kid who had a passing glance at a tranny book would be sent straight to the butcher. Chop chop!
Whoever came up with the script also is long overdue some credit here as well. They sure don’t make movies like this anymore. The language used by the characters is subtle and apt.
Some of the best acting ever put on screen. Hopkins and Foster both. Amazing. Mesmerizing. I hope acting teachers use this to teach students. (And Jodie Foster is one of the most beautiful women in the world. I totally fell for her long ago).
I first saw the movie in the theater when I was 18 and the intense acting absolutely hypnotized me and gave me the chills. It's hard to think of a better-acted movie.
2:31 - You can hear in Lecter's tone, that He symphatize with Bill a little bit when He is talking about His abused childhood. Lecter wasn't born a psychopath as well.
Usually in films involving two leads - an actor and an actress - one would inevitably eclipse the other. This is one of the rare films where both of them were almost evenly matched, though to me Anthony edges Jodie out by a bit, simply because he was absolutely terrifying. Even his voice sends chills down your spine.
Supreme acting from Anthony Hopkins. Truly marvellous and a thoroughly joyful experience. The chemistry on screen at least between both was terrific. Giving him his respect but also being firm now and again, I think the honesty was appreciated by Dr Lecter.
This is one of the most incredible films. Anthony Hopkins screen time was very brief in this film but his scenes are the most powerful and unforgettable of all. Jody Foster was amazing as she was in many of her films from her early days. The tension between them and the chemistry was electric.
Lecter pretty much describes Gumb as having a personal Identity disorder when Lecter says he's tried to be a lot of things meaning he is trying to establish a stable guise or persona. so much in one scene
A brilliant master class of acting and superb filmmaking, subtle, scary, yet beautiful. Amazing work that hasn’t been seen duplicated #imho in decades.

I can't think of anything more fascinating to study than the human mind
The doctor knew Chilton was listening, but he wanted to help Starling catch Buffalo Bill, so he gave her clues that he knew she would understand but Chilton would be too dumb to get.
The book goes into Jame Gumbs relationship with his mother and provides more insight into why he is the way he was. Read the book if you haven't, it's awesome.
Basically, while they do say he isn't trans, there is the issue of the public still thinking he is, mainly because of how he dresses in women's clothing, etc. It's a shame, but many trans women still get called Buffalo Bill when they don't pass as a woman because for a lot of people Buffalo Bill is just who comes to mind when they think of a trans woman. It's more of an issue of the film contributing to misconceptions of trans women such as "all trans women are predators". That is statistically incorrect, but media has a huge influence on people's thinking and there aren't enough positive portrayals to reverse the harm done by more negative portrayals. Although, I do love the film despite this. It's a product of its time, I suppose. I don't think it's transphobic, or that the director had any transphobic intentions. More like people used it to fuel their transphobia.
@@codymays9943 the novel handled it a lot better. There were multiple characters insisting Buffalo Bill was not trans and there was even the doctor who was like "we've been fighting for so long to persuade the public that trans women are not aggressive" or whatever. I liked that aspect. Harris really took his time to fully explain, whereas the film had limited time to do so. But people are assholes and will still weaponize a fictional character against trans people.
Luke Jones That’s why I believe that Tom Harris is objectively one of the greatest writers ever. He writes his villains like no other person can. Dolarhyde and Gumb are so sympathetic that it’s hard to hate them in spite of the crimes they commit. You can also have some pity for Verger, but he’s also the most sinister and outwardly villainous. Dr. Lecter is just a supporting character in Red Dragon and Silence and I think that’s why he works so well. He shines more in Hannibal and his ending with Clarice is just perfect to me.
@@codymays9943 I agree. I actually havent read Hannibal yet (but it's on my shelf) but I devoured Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs. Absolutely fantastic books. Red Dragon spoilers: This isn't exactly to do with the core villains, but Freddy Lounds' death scene will forever stick with me. It was the scene at the hospital. Harris gave you the tiniest amount of description but that was enough for me to get the most disturbing mental image. Less is more. He is masterful at that.
What's funny is Hannibal seems to have fallen in love with Clarice. When he escaped he calls her to alleviate any fears she may have of him-he didn't have to do that. I like thinking Hannibal is almost a protector of Clarice because he seems to know everything that goes on with her. Pity to the person dumb enough to harm her.
If I ran into Anthony Hopkins in an elevator and suddenly he takes on the Hannibal Lecter character, I wouldn’t think he is acting, and I would piss my pants
This scene should be under "chemistry" in the dictionary. All their scenes in this movie, really. They each manage to bring out the best in the other, help convince you of the reality of the performance. And that shot of Lecter's image, reflected in the glass next to Starling's... genius.
2:03 "Billy is not a real transsexual. But he thinks he is, he tries to be. He's tried to be a lot of things, I expect." Dunno why, but Chris Chan popped up in my head IMMEDJIATELY.
@@LordMalice6d9 y'all cis men vote for other cis men who rape women (trump) and support men who abuse and rape women and take their rights away and believe we should earn less money for doing just as much if not more work (the Republican party) so why do y'all care if "fake women" as you call them participate in women's sports? You don't care about us and never have and you don't even pretend to . So stfu
@@newnamestillhumanthough576 EXACTLY!!!!! That is exactly how I feel on that topic. People like that are the ones who think women's sports are snoozefests, unimportant, no-one cares, and inferior anyways. And if not just that, for sexy-time appeal at the very least, or added to the other reasons. (maybe they think trans women are getting in the way of their "sexy sports whammens vision" because they themselves don't like trans-women??? I dunno). Why do they care about our "honor" now? Thank you! That is EXACTLY how I feel about that. Pure lol, so thanks for bringing it up, because I just got new comments on this. Hey, I am certainly not in the anti-trans camp, I'm all for all womens/fems/feminine folk, so I dunno what Malice was talking about. Was a huge, "uhhhhhhh...." moment and it's a shame it's polluting a comment I made. The most insulting thing is that they try to get us cis women on the hate train as if the trans women are "stealing" from us, and we should be hopping mad and out for blood. (which the anti-trans folks wouldn't mind). It's double insulting because it's still sexist as frick while claiming to be on behalf of cis women. No. I'm friends with lots of trans people, thus trans women. I'm athletic and play against and exercise with trans women and all kinds of people, so I know first hand, it's down to the individual. I'm stronger/faster than some trans women, and some trans women are stronger and faster than me. Some cis women are stronger and faster than me, and I'm stronger and faster than some cis women. Heck, I'm even stronger and faster than some cis men. So what? A few weeks ago, I was accused of being trans because I have big-medium hands, size ten women's feet, work on my muscle definition, can bench a lot, and I have very quick reflexes. (They were really on the reflexes like that was a totally 100% man-thing for some reason). Like I know I'm not as physically strong as a lot of cis men/put on as much muscle as they can, or many folks on testosterone, but that was insulting like I have some kind of cap of expectations, and if I pass them, then I'm "sus." Get that mess outta here. I think it's sick how they are trying to get cis women to turn on trans women by using the "sporting events" card. These right-wing, Faux News folk KNOW cis women can be a huge ally for trans women and the right want to tear that down. At first, it was the "the trans women are trying to make a costume of you and replace you." (As if such guys weren't already talking about se-x bots "replacing" us soon already because we weren't "obeying", being compliant "real whammens", smiling at every single one of them in public on site like the forever-happy smiling-borg (for approachability with the known main end goal), and bowing to every little demand, or because too many rejections). XD Now it's the sporting events card because they know it will get to some women's self-esteem (negging by proxy?)...esteem which such people bash anyways when it comes to women as you said, so I don't know what the deal or "trump" card is supposed to be there. Drawing a complete blank there. Ugh.
@@newnamestillhumanthough576 To be fair, I just got a laugh out of Chris Chan (not a real trans woman) and Lecter's quote, but you can always, always ALWAYS count on a righty to steer the conversation to a mini Fox News broadcast and suck all the life and fun out of everything and spread malice. It's how they roll, unfortunately.

Moths usually symbolize a vulnerable, brainless insect, making its way towards what it perceives as light. Moths use the moon to navigate during the night, but a light bulb ultimately kills them. The moth keeps running towards what it thinks is good, even after being burned so many times. Of course there are always multiple ways to view an object, some that even the 'perfect' haven't yet seen. As all perfect is, is a stepping stone to the next.
Nah, the moth in here symbolizes a change, going from an ugly larva to becoming a beautiful moth. Exactly how Bill feels, and wants to be. He wants a metamorphosis
@@ManoloRibera070 It's both dude. Symbolism has layers, things can have multiple meanings. What this person said is accurate to Bill's character, so it works as an interpretation.
@@RileyWritey Bill worked with a butterfly collector. His ideal was more the beauty from butterflies than moths. But he chose this moth because of the death's head pattern on its dorsal surface.
I feel like Hannibal wouldn't be so uncultured as to call a moth a butterfly but maybe it was for Clarice's benefit... Assuming he thought _she_ might not know the difference.
The movie is a masterpiece and I like this scene but the most touching moment is when Clarice and Hannibal meets for the last time and he gets tears in his eyes just when dr Chilton appears!
Only three movies have ever "swept" the Oscars, winning all 5 main categories (picture, actor, actress, director, and screenplay). This scene shows why Silence of the Lambs was one of them!
Take note that this movie came out in 1991, yet what Dr. Lecter says in 2:32 onwards is what is happening in USA's "gender trend" nowadays. This movie truly is ahead of its time.
0:27 - I wonder if the late Jonathan Demme instructed him that Lecter already KNEW about Gumb and his obsession with moths and butterflies. At around 0:30, you can see Lecter already raising his eyes in acknowledgement.
One of the Oscars that this movie won was Best Adapted Screenplay. Ted Tally took Thomas Harris's novel, tightened up the proverbial screws, and made something fantastic. Give this movie anothe view, and listen to the screenplay. It'll scare you too.........

Probably the scariest thing about Lector is that he is actually trying to answer the questions and help, but also dominate and wound at the same time. You can't get a read on him, you only know that he's sinister and evil.
2:01
the way they have lecter appear merely as a reflection is a great work of cinematography
The back and forth between these two was mesmerizing. Good lord.
Good source material and good casting will do that.
Funnily enough, Jodie Foster admitted she and Hopkins didn't speak to each other outside of scenes. She was genuinely scared of him and how he portrayed Hannibal Lecter.
Years later, in an interview regarding his Lecter portrayal, Hopkins lamented: "my neighbors don't come over for dinner any more..."
I saw this in the cinema back in 1991 when I was only 15. Best movie experience of my life.
@@maratonlegendelenemirei3352 What was Lector's escape like? did you see it coming?
Hopkins seems to overshadow Foster - and yet she is a bit like Katniss 1.0 - a survivor and a hunter (the opening scene of her running in the VA forest/FBI training center is her "hero's montage").. Yet unlike Katniss, she is willing to use her vulnerability as a kind of weapon when dealing with Lecter - she lets him get closer than was safe, so she could save others - or even in dealing with Jack Crawford. This is a film about "empowerment" done right (in a sense Clarise doesn't need "empowering" - she already is quite strong).
When Clarice tells Lecter that the victim had an object deliberately lodged in her throat, the expression in Lecter's eyes changes (epiphany) as he realizes he now knows exactly who Buffalo Bill is. Maybe Lecter had a hunch beforehand as to BB's identity, maybe not. But the revelation about the moth leaves no doubt. Such good acting.
What does the moth have to do with it
And it's at that point he really starts playing games with Clarice and also the Senator as they're both desperate and yet he wants something in return for the information.
@@SJMJ91"Quid pro quo"
Lector was true to his word,he told her exactly who Billy was and how to catch him
Honestly I don't know how he did it from a few strips of information to accurately deduce what he was and what he was trying to do. Perhaps being a psycho meant that he just puts himself in the shoes of the killer and imagines what was done to the corpses had a symbolic meaning but the information Starling provides can be vague that Lector could just be guessing yet he nailed it down to how to catch Billy.
@@ythandlename Lecter had already met Gumb when he was still a psychiatrist

Ever notice Clarice’s tone and rhythm is much like she’s talking to a colleague? She’s talking with Dr Lecter, not at him, which is where most failed with him. Brilliant acting on both parts.
Absolutely phenomenal acting. The abuse analogy is extremely clever and very true aswell
Can you please explain what exactly you mean?
@@dontbememe7364 Buffalo Bill was systematically abused his entire young life, causing him to hate himself. He thought he could change himself, something akin to a pupa transforming into a butterfly, by becoming a transsexual. "Billy is not a real transsexual" - which turns him even more demented and violent.
@@loubabell No, he already saw himself as a transsexual. Acted like one. He thought he could solve his problems by becoming a woman.
@@nevillewran4083 ...whereas actual transsexuals simply want to externally be the same gender they have been internally for their entire lives. It's not something you arrive at through self-hate.
@@gsofficial I'd agree with that. My point to loubabell was he already believed he was a transsexual.
Their Lector quote continues "... But he thinks he is. He tries to be. He's tried to be a lot of things, I expect". Lector had met 'Billy'.
Not being a transsexual as I assume would have been classified in The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) of the time means he doesn't display typical transsexual modes of behaviour.
He's a lost soul trying on different suits of identity, hoping for happiness & learning who he is.
Admittedly it's very light on the subject, but my reading tells me transsexuals can be very unhappy with who they are. This would certainly have applied to some when the book was written in 1989. I'd have to assume some self-hate is involved.
Personally, I think this is a perfect and flawless movie. 100/100
yep, one of the big ones, have you seen manhunter?
You not alone.
I love how they made Hannibal appear in the reflection
"From thence, into beauty."
And when Clarice shoots Buffalo Bill his last words are, "What is it like to be so beautiful?"
Giving even more insight to the fact that Hannibal knew his motivations all along.
Really ? I watched the clip. I can’t hear it.
@@johnmagnell8902 They edit it out of a lot of them. It's in the "uncut" version.

Whoever came up with the script also is long overdue some credit here as well. They sure don’t make movies like this anymore. The language used by the characters is subtle and apt.
The hero is Thomas Harris- the author of this book.
Some of the best acting ever put on screen. Hopkins and Foster both. Amazing. Mesmerizing. I hope acting teachers use this to teach students.
(And Jodie Foster is one of the most beautiful women in the world. I totally fell for her long ago).
But would YOU try to assassinate the President to get her attention?
I first saw the movie in the theater when I was 18 and the intense acting absolutely hypnotized me and gave me the chills. It's hard to think of a better-acted movie.
The subtle subdued eagerness on Clarice's face when Hannibal starts giving her what she wants. Kudos Jodie, superb.
Sir Anthony Hopkins didn't blink almost the whole time. He did this to portray a real pyschopath and it worked amazingly

One of the greatest films ever made. Anthony Hopkins is an amazing actor.
The reputation of this movie is excessive and really over the top.
Many other thrillers/crime movies, even older, are way far better.
2:31 - You can hear in Lecter's tone, that He symphatize with Bill a little bit when He is talking about His abused childhood.
Lecter wasn't born a psychopath as well.
Usually in films involving two leads - an actor and an actress - one would inevitably eclipse the other. This is one of the rare films where both of them were almost evenly matched, though to me Anthony edges Jodie out by a bit, simply because he was absolutely terrifying. Even his voice sends chills down your spine.
If I'm not mistaken, he is never seen by the camera to blink.
Sir Anthony is a master at his craft.
He definitely blinks at key moments.
The guy wins a Best Actor Oscar and he was only in the film a total of less than 15 minutes. An acting legend.
The acting is incredible and all in the eyes. Look at the way you can see each of them think: 0:30 and 1:16 amazing stuff
Supreme acting from Anthony Hopkins. Truly marvellous and a thoroughly joyful experience. The chemistry on screen at least between both was terrific. Giving him his respect but also being firm now and again, I think the honesty was appreciated by Dr Lecter.
This is one of the most incredible films. Anthony Hopkins screen time was very brief in this film but his scenes are the most powerful and unforgettable of all. Jody Foster was amazing as she was in many of her films from her early days. The tension between them and the chemistry was electric.
Lecter pretty much describes Gumb as having a personal Identity disorder when Lecter says he's tried to be a lot of things meaning he is trying to establish a stable guise or persona. so much in one scene
Not allowing the audience to equate transgenderism w violence was both accurate and necessary for the time
A brilliant master class of acting and superb filmmaking, subtle, scary, yet beautiful.
Amazing work that hasn’t been seen duplicated #imho in decades.

The doctor knew Chilton was listening, but he wanted to help Starling catch Buffalo Bill, so he gave her clues that he knew she would understand but Chilton would be too dumb to get.
The book goes into Jame Gumbs relationship with his mother and provides more insight into why he is the way he was. Read the book if you haven't, it's awesome.
I really don't get why people think this film is transphobic. They LITERALLY say that Buffalo Bill isn't transsexual, but indeed a delusional maniac
Basically, while they do say he isn't trans, there is the issue of the public still thinking he is, mainly because of how he dresses in women's clothing, etc. It's a shame, but many trans women still get called Buffalo Bill when they don't pass as a woman because for a lot of people Buffalo Bill is just who comes to mind when they think of a trans woman. It's more of an issue of the film contributing to misconceptions of trans women such as "all trans women are predators". That is statistically incorrect, but media has a huge influence on people's thinking and there aren't enough positive portrayals to reverse the harm done by more negative portrayals.
Although, I do love the film despite this. It's a product of its time, I suppose. I don't think it's transphobic, or that the director had any transphobic intentions. More like people used it to fuel their transphobia.
Same thing with the novel. It’s so inoffensive that I was confused as to what people were bitching about. Tom Harris was very respectful.
@@codymays9943 the novel handled it a lot better. There were multiple characters insisting Buffalo Bill was not trans and there was even the doctor who was like "we've been fighting for so long to persuade the public that trans women are not aggressive" or whatever. I liked that aspect. Harris really took his time to fully explain, whereas the film had limited time to do so. But people are assholes and will still weaponize a fictional character against trans people.
Luke Jones That’s why I believe that Tom Harris is objectively one of the greatest writers ever. He writes his villains like no other person can. Dolarhyde and Gumb are so sympathetic that it’s hard to hate them in spite of the crimes they commit. You can also have some pity for Verger, but he’s also the most sinister and outwardly villainous. Dr. Lecter is just a supporting character in Red Dragon and Silence and I think that’s why he works so well. He shines more in Hannibal and his ending with Clarice is just perfect to me.
@@codymays9943 I agree. I actually havent read Hannibal yet (but it's on my shelf) but I devoured Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs. Absolutely fantastic books.
Red Dragon spoilers:
This isn't exactly to do with the core villains, but Freddy Lounds' death scene will forever stick with me. It was the scene at the hospital. Harris gave you the tiniest amount of description but that was enough for me to get the most disturbing mental image. Less is more. He is masterful at that.
When a movie was a movie. Brilliant actor's no agenda.
What's funny is Hannibal seems to have fallen in love with Clarice. When he escaped he calls her to alleviate any fears she may have of him-he didn't have to do that. I like thinking Hannibal is almost a protector of Clarice because he seems to know everything that goes on with her. Pity to the person dumb enough to harm her.
He respects her. She was honest with him barring the "island" lie. I also think he figure she can take care of herself as well,
If I ran into Anthony Hopkins in an elevator and suddenly he takes on the Hannibal Lecter character, I wouldn’t think he is acting, and I would piss my pants
I would be quiet and polite. Key word polite.
That's what the orderly Barney said. He was polite and Lecter appreciated him for it. And let him alone.
This scene should be under "chemistry" in the dictionary. All their scenes in this movie, really. They each manage to bring out the best in the other, help convince you of the reality of the performance. And that shot of Lecter's image, reflected in the glass next to Starling's... genius.

@@newnamestillhumanthough576 EXACTLY!!!!! That is exactly how I feel on that topic. People like that are the ones who think women's sports are snoozefests, unimportant, no-one cares, and inferior anyways. And if not just that, for sexy-time appeal at the very least, or added to the other reasons. (maybe they think trans women are getting in the way of their "sexy sports whammens vision" because they themselves don't like trans-women??? I dunno).
Why do they care about our "honor" now? Thank you! That is EXACTLY how I feel about that. Pure lol, so thanks for bringing it up, because I just got new comments on this. Hey, I am certainly not in the anti-trans camp, I'm all for all womens/fems/feminine folk, so I dunno what Malice was talking about. Was a huge, "uhhhhhhh...." moment and it's a shame it's polluting a comment I made. The most insulting thing is that they try to get us cis women on the hate train as if the trans women are "stealing" from us, and we should be hopping mad and out for blood. (which the anti-trans folks wouldn't mind). It's double insulting because it's still sexist as frick while claiming to be on behalf of cis women. No. I'm friends with lots of trans people, thus trans women. I'm athletic and play against and exercise with trans women and all kinds of people, so I know first hand, it's down to the individual. I'm stronger/faster than some trans women, and some trans women are stronger and faster than me. Some cis women are stronger and faster than me, and I'm stronger and faster than some cis women. Heck, I'm even stronger and faster than some cis men. So what? A few weeks ago, I was accused of being trans because I have big-medium hands, size ten women's feet, work on my muscle definition, can bench a lot, and I have very quick reflexes. (They were really on the reflexes like that was a totally 100% man-thing for some reason). Like I know I'm not as physically strong as a lot of cis men/put on as much muscle as they can, or many folks on testosterone, but that was insulting like I have some kind of cap of expectations, and if I pass them, then I'm "sus." Get that mess outta here.
I think it's sick how they are trying to get cis women to turn on trans women by using the "sporting events" card. These right-wing, Faux News folk KNOW cis women can be a huge ally for trans women and the right want to tear that down. At first, it was the "the trans women are trying to make a costume of you and replace you." (As if such guys weren't already talking about se-x bots "replacing" us soon already because we weren't "obeying", being compliant "real whammens", smiling at every single one of them in public on site like the forever-happy smiling-borg (for approachability with the known main end goal), and bowing to every little demand, or because too many rejections). XD
Now it's the sporting events card because they know it will get to some women's self-esteem (negging by proxy?)...esteem which such people bash anyways when it comes to women as you said, so I don't know what the deal or "trump" card is supposed to be there. Drawing a complete blank there. Ugh.
@@newnamestillhumanthough576 To be fair, I just got a laugh out of Chris Chan (not a real trans woman) and Lecter's quote, but you can always, always ALWAYS count on a righty to steer the conversation to a mini Fox News broadcast and suck all the life and fun out of everything and spread malice. It's how they roll, unfortunately.
