This is the first movie I think about when I hear, "There were no strong female leads in movies 30/40 years ago." Clarisse was brave, smart, determined, and resilient. She learned and grew during the film and had a character arc (she got killed in the training exercise, after all.) She was one of the best characters in the history of film.
Also Ellen Ripley, Sarah Connor, Princess Lea, Sheriff Marge in Fargo, Xena warrior princess etc. etc. Writing completely one-dimensional crap female leads then accusing the fanbase of misogyny when the movie/show flops is a relatively new approach. Men, especially we geeks and nerds are more than happy to cheer on a female lead if they're written with a plausible personality.
There were strong women all decades of film. Vivian Leigh’s character in Gone With The Wind was incredibly strong. Barbara Stanwick, Joan Crawford, etc. we’re ball busters.
Fun fact: In 1968, Anthony Hopkins co-started in the Academy Award winning film _The Lion in Winter_ as Richard the Lionheart along side Peter O'Toole, Katharine Hepburn, Nigel Terry, Timothy Dalton and John Castle. Katharine Hepburn took the young Hopkins under her wing and he credits her with making him a "proper" actor. Their friendship would last for their entire lifetimes. Hepburn's Academy Award performance was phenomenal. Her presence, focus and diction would become the model upon which Anthony Hopkins would create the character of Hannibal Lecter. Once one sees the two performances, Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter and Hepburn's Eleanor of Aquitaine, one will forever link the two.
@@misterStevePikk Katharine Hepburn has a very distinct diction. She is very pointed and precise in her delivery. And in _The Lion in Winter_ she is powerless except for her ability to use her words to wound those around her, like Richard, Henry and Alais. Imagine if you will that Eleanore is _stabbing_ them with her words. At one point Eleanore has Henry screaming in pain from nothing but her words. This is also the case with Hannibal Lecter. He is powerless and behind glass or bars or strapped to a gurney. Yet he is able to use his words to stab at those to whom he speaks. Using only his words he causes Clarice to recoil from him and the Senator to capitulate to his demands. On a rewatch I think you'll see the connection between the two characters instantly.
THE LION IN WINTER made Katharine Hepburn one of only 2 women to both win Best Actress at least 3 times (Frances McDormand achieved this feat since) and also win back-to-back (her 2nd and 3rd wins were consecutive). Coincidentally, McDormand's 3rd Best Actress win came the same year Anthony Hopkins won his 2nd Best Actor Oscar.
Lecter's second cell in Nashville was temporary. They were preparing his permanent cell at a state penitentiary in Tennessee but he escaped & fled the country.
"It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again." Buffalo Bill. Jodie Foster was great in this movie and Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter
This movie inspired my best friend into becoming a forensic psychologist -- it's her favorite film. It's one of my favorites, too -- the book is even better. Thank you for reacting to it.
"I don't know what that's called... You use it to jack up your car". That's exactly right, which is why it's called.... a car jack... lmao Omg that was so cute.
It's not a car jack in the UK, a car jack is the small scissor type that fits inside the spare wheel, in the wheel well. The jack Clarice is using is called a Hi-Lift Jack, I've never seen one in any car in the UK. I used to use them to lift jack-leg portacabins on and off trucks when a stick crane wasn't available.
Incredible performances around. Especially Hopkins, obviously. Less a man than a caged lion. He might be cordial, friendly, even fond of you. But you're *this* close to being prey no matter what.
Clarice was following the police procedure on not shooting an unarmed fugitive on the back. As scary as it can be or not very promising in those circunstances she did damn well. Great woman the entire movie!
So good in this. But check out, if you haven't, The World's Fastest Indian and Fracture. So many other good ones, but those are some of his lesser known roles that I think are really really good.
I recommend checking out THE REMAINS OF THE DAY (1993) (his best performance IMO) and THE FATHER (2020). He in fact won his 2nd Best Actor Oscar for THE FATHER (2020) at age 83, making him the oldest person to win an acting Oscar across all 4 acting categories.
The cage that Lecter escaped from was a temporary holding pen until he was returned to prison. In the book, Lecter knew that handcuffs would be used there, and cuffs could be picked. All part of his plan. Also in the book, the cops were supposed to use a much more secure solution while feeding him, which kept his hands apart. However, the cops figured their way was faster, and just as secure. Cops can be lazy, and Lecter knew that too. Again, all part of his plan.
The cops also saw him as a smallish, weak older man. Even given his history, he was very polite. They underestimated him. Lector knew once he was outside the asylum and away from Barney and the other staff he could manipulate the situation in his favor.
The scary thing about Lektor is not just that he is extremely intelligent it's that he is a serial killer that has a moral code, it's a twisted moral code but he still has a moral code. With the exception of the cops he killed to escape, in the novels everyone he kills is either evil to the point of being considered a monster themselves or in Lectors opinion extremely Rude(like Chilton or Miggs) As shown by the fact he drew a portrait of her Hannibal is fascinated by Clarice. Additionally He in the novel and film Manhunter(which was adapted twice into film, once as Manhunter and the other as Red Dragon) he is also fascinated by another FBI profiler, the man who caught him, will Graham. Furthermore, he respects and genuinely likes Barney(the African American guard) because Barney treated him with respect.
Anthony Hopkins portrayal of Hannibal Lecter is masterful. I especially love the hypnotizing tone of his voice that gave us goosebumps and added that extra layer of menace.
You must watch the sequel ‘Hannibal’. It features an incredible, uncredited performance by a certain English actor as Mason Verger; one of Lecter’s victims who’s now hell bent on getting revenge.
@@lsu1992 When I found out who it was, buried under the layers of prosthetics, I likened it to John Hurts stunning performance in The Elephant Man, or Edward Norton in Kingdom of Heaven.
I also think Dr Lecter already knew that,that why he start deliberating and play quid pro quo thing,Lucky for Dr Lecter, like Clarice Dr Chilton also ate the bait too where he got his upper hand to escape,If see closely from their first meeting,Dr Lecter already knew where Buffalo Bill was,He already giving the clue which Clarice failed to notice make him know Clarice not even close to Jack,he use that chance to arrange how the game they gonna play..
Fricking love that movie, Hannibal’s intelligence is so much a part of the movie. Jack Crawford is hot for Clarice ! The first meeting Hannibal takes control! “Closer closer” Watch the whole movie, “I ate his liver with fava beans and a nice Chanti” I went to High School in the 60’s and omg had lot of fun in back seat of my 58 Chevy!
Which gave you more stress ? Watching Agent Starling in Buffalo Bill's basement.... or playing as Ellie in The last of us and having to confront David as he crab ran around after you in a burning building ? 😂 LOL awesome reaction video 👍 📹
Very much enjoyed the reaction but one thing that I wish reactors would do more effectively is edit their reactions when posting to YT a bit better. Many will cut out scenes or character interactions that are important to the storyline so when they’re reacting to certain things that aren’t shown it doesn’t really make sense and sometimes it makes you unsure of what they know or don’t know about the story or what specific scenes or dialogue they’re even reacting to or commentating on from previous scenes which can make it very confusing. Either way I still enjoyed the reaction especially to such a brilliant film with both Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster giving two tour-de-force performances
If you want another horror movie from the 90s that gets under your skin and isn’t what you’d expect, look for Candyman from 1992. They remade it a few years ago but it doesn’t come close to the original. It’s a great movie to go in cold.

This movie had a big impact when it was released. All of a sudden you knew not to help people move furniture at night. The idea of criminal profiling truly took hold from this film. Always good reactions from you. Thanks for sharing.
Running in the woods, where no one can see you and you're removed from society, is awesome. So long as you can take care of yourself. Please take care of yourself.
Such an intense and well made movie. I remember the first time I saw this and I was so freaked out. The acting was top notch across the board. All the awards were earned.
I think a lot of Europeans think of southern US accents as all one thing the same way that a lot of people in the US view English accents as all one thing. But if you put someone from Georgia next to someone from Carolina the difference is as stark as someone from Manchester vs someone from Dover. Dialectology is fun! If I ever go back to college I'd love to get into linguistics.
Silence of the Lambs is actually the second book (1988) in the Hannibal Lecter series by Thomas Harris. The film won five Academy Awards - Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay, being only the third film to sweep the major categories. Anthony Hopkins would reprise his Academy Award winning role in the sequel, Hannibal (2001), directed by Ridley Scott, based on the novel published in 1999, and again in the prequel, Red Dragon (2002), based on the 1981 novel. There is also the television series, Hannibal (2013-15), starring Mads Mikkelsen as Lecter.
Love this film and great performances all round. Something I would recommend checking out, a few years ago Variety did an actors on actors interview series, Antony Hopkins and Jodie Foster interviewed each other almost 30 years after filming Silence of the lambs, some great insights into the making and Antony talking about how scared he was trying to talk to Jodie as she had just won her second Oscar. well worth checking out.
The Hannibal Lector franchise is fantastic. It goes Manhunter (1986) Silence of the lambs (1991) Hannibal (2001) Red Dragon, which is pretty much a remake of Manhunter (2002) and Hannibal Rising, the origin of how Hannibal became a cannibal. Anthony Hopkins truly delivers in bringing a chilling haunting character. The close-up shots were the characters look right into the camera makes it all the creepier. Like a serial killer is looking right into your soul and is about to eat you alive.
What a movie to react for Halloween😮 So this movie is one of the few movies that won the "Big 5" in the Academy Awards (Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress and Screenplay) And with Se7en, this is the movie that popularized the serial killer tropes in Hollywood movies back in the 1990's and popularized the portrayal of serial killers in media in general Lastly, both Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins never met each other after shooting the movie because Jodie got scared of Hopkins😂 That is acting talent on a different level
I still remember how tense I was at the end when Bill was reaching for Clarice in the dark, he was so close to her, I remember yelling omg can't you hear him breathing? I thought he was going to kill her for sure, then seeing her get shots off first and him bleeding on the ground was very satisfying.
I highly recommend watching Red Dragon, a prequel to The Silence of the Lambs. It has to do with Will Graham, the FBI agent who originally caught Hannibal Lecter. And the books the films are based on are amazing.
"where were the cameras and where were all the other guards' is a question I see posed a lot. I think the idea here is that he's being held in some facility that really wasn't meant to hold prisoners here. He was transferred out of state to meet the senator, and I think this was just some sort of 'makeshift' holding location they had him at for that interaction. That being said, even in that kind of environment, security seems pretty lax.
Hopkins was great but my favorite Hannibal is Mads Mikkelson. The series "Hannibal" ran for three seasons on NBC (2013-2015). It drew from the novels except Silence of the Lambs. The production was worthy of HBO prestige TV. I was surprised NBC agreed to air it at the time. (Extra credit: Brian Cox was the first actor to portray Hannibal Lecter.)
Did i just hear the word Skellington! 🤣 i like it, i think it will forever my new word SKELLINGTIN! kinda sounds like a comic book character. live an evil villain.
Yes it's common for those who kill to dehumanise. Soldiers often call enemy Combatants tangos or x rays. Seriel killers often refer to a person as it to dehumanise potential victims.
One of the things about Lecter that make him a threat isn’t his capability for violence its his charm and cunning he lets in young enough builds a rapport with you all while he’s planning what to do in advanced. Clarice is truly one of the most understated examples of a archetype heroine she’s not a warmonger she’s not full of herself she’s not even physically intimidating she’s a green rookie agent who shows enough smarts and heart to get the job done she is also very sympathetic and caring despite the world she lives in if only more characters were written like her or Katniss Everdeen. Silence of the lambs was one of the last true golden age movies.
The film won five Oscars at the 1992 Academy Awards: Best Picture Best Actor in a Leading Role - Anthony Hopkins Best Actress in a Leading Role - Jodie Foster Best Director - Jonathan Demme Best Adapted Screenplay - Ted Tally Oscar nominations: Best Editing Best Sound This makes "The Silence of the Lambs" only the third film to win an Oscar in the five most important categories - the so-called Big Five - after "It Happened One Night" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".
15:30 I really felt sorry for the cat. First, it sees its servant captured and dragged away, after which it then spends a few days without food. Its servant finally returns a few days later, but it has a - a - a DOG - AN UGLY, STINKY DOG - with her. Must have been horrific for the poor cat. 😾
14:26 - at least there was a complete stranger in the dark abandoned parking lot to ward off the suspected serial killer we know is on the hunt. Logic = 💯🤣
"When did he have time to do that?" Hannibal Lecter is a Psychiatrist, which means he was trained as a medical doctor. He is well-educated on human anatomy and physiology, and techniques of surgery and dissection. The truth is there are few people in the world more capable, and terrifying than a doctor with bad intentions.
My guess is that Lecter used his psychologist's training in hypnosis to convince "Multiple Miggs" to swallow his tongue after Clarice's visit to Lecter in the hospital.
I remember first seeing Jodie Foster as a child actress for TV shows in the 60s and early 70s. Back then she had blonde hair so this look was very different to me.
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". 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. 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.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
They didn't take lecter out of his cell because he was refusing to cooperate in assisting the FBI and Starling was just sent to try and get him to just fill out a questionnaire and spy on what lecter was doing. Afterwards, Miggs was already dead and the cell next door was empty.
Hannibal (the movie) is a cracking sequel, it's well worth checking out. Red Dragon and Hannibal Rising are okay, you can take them or leave them. If you want to treat yourself to something REALLY special, check out the Hannibal TV series, which is three seasons of GENIUS.
Red Dragon was\is the prequel and Hannibal was\is a sequel to this (with Hannibal Rising is a 2nd time as such prequel to Red Dragon, when Hannibal was growing up and why he did what he did).
It's really easy in Britain to buy eggs or caterpillars of some big exotic silkmoths, if you really want to. I recommend Indian Moon Moths, "Actias selene". I think the caterpillars eat oak, but the adults don't feed so they're easy to keep 🙂.
This is the first movie I think about when I hear, "There were no strong female leads in movies 30/40 years ago." Clarisse was brave, smart, determined, and resilient.

da lambs, what a interesting movie, excited to see how you react to this.
Jodie Foster was fantastic in this. She gets a bit over shadowed by Hannibal, but she holds it all together.
It makes it so much more interesting when the reactor goes into a movie blind. It's nice to be surprised isn't it? Good vid! Keep on rockin
The Hannibal Lector franchise is fantastic. It goes Manhunter (1986) Silence of the lambs (1991) Hannibal (2001) Red Dragon, which is pretty much a remake of Manhunter (2002) and Hannibal Rising, the origin of how Hannibal became a cannibal. Anthony Hopkins truly delivers in bringing a chilling haunting character. The close-up shots were the characters look right into the camera makes it all the creepier. Like a serial killer is looking right into your soul and is about to eat you alive.
What a movie to react for Halloween😮
So this movie is one of the few movies that won the "Big 5" in the Academy Awards (Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress and Screenplay)
And with Se7en, this is the movie that popularized the serial killer tropes in Hollywood movies back in the 1990's and popularized the portrayal of serial killers in media in general
Lastly, both Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins never met each other after shooting the movie because Jodie got scared of Hopkins😂 That is acting talent on a different level
I still remember how tense I was at the end when Bill was reaching for Clarice in the dark, he was so close to her, I remember yelling omg can't you hear him breathing? I thought he was going to kill her for sure, then seeing her get shots off first and him bleeding on the ground was very satisfying.
I highly recommend watching Red Dragon, a prequel to The Silence of the Lambs. It has to do with Will Graham, the FBI agent who originally caught Hannibal Lecter. And the books the films are based on are amazing.
Stephen King's The Dead Zone starring Christopher Walken is another good psychological horror.
Must watch Hannibal and Red Dragon for the backstory.
Feel like you focused on all of the most unimportant aspects of this film
48 minutes and 48 seconds of amazing Alyska reaction ❤ good time... Haha funny stuff ❤
11:20 ‘it’s my head in a jar’ - Lonely Island
"where were the cameras and where were all the other guards' is a question I see posed a lot. I think the idea here is that he's being held in some facility that really wasn't meant to hold prisoners here. He was transferred out of state to meet the senator, and I think this was just some sort of 'makeshift' holding location they had him at for that interaction. That being said, even in that kind of environment, security seems pretty lax.
Hopkins was great but my favorite Hannibal is Mads Mikkelson. The series "Hannibal" ran for three seasons on NBC (2013-2015). It drew from the novels except Silence of the Lambs. The production was worthy of HBO prestige TV. I was surprised NBC agreed to air it at the time. (Extra credit: Brian Cox was the first actor to portray Hannibal Lecter.)
Miggs was a real one. RIP Miggs😂. Bro hit a money shot with an over the head toss from the cell.
always check your corners
It's not that he's allowed to watch TV, but forced to. It's part of his punishment, for Miggs.
Chilton does enjoy his petty torments.
Great choice for a reaction! Thanks for the upload!
Did i just hear the word Skellington! 🤣 i like it, i think it will forever my new word SKELLINGTIN! kinda sounds like a comic book character. live an evil villain.
Yes it's common for those who kill to dehumanise. Soldiers often call enemy Combatants tangos or x rays. Seriel killers often refer to a person as it to dehumanise potential victims.
One of the things about Lecter that make him a threat isn’t his capability for violence its his charm and cunning he lets in young enough builds a rapport with you all while he’s planning what to do in advanced. Clarice is truly one of the most understated examples of a archetype heroine she’s not a warmonger she’s not full of herself she’s not even physically intimidating she’s a green rookie agent who shows enough smarts and heart to get the job done she is also very sympathetic and caring despite the world she lives in if only more characters were written like her or Katniss Everdeen. Silence of the lambs was one of the last true golden age movies.
Lasted a minute 40. This sucks.
Ah, just in time for my dinner! 😊
The film won five Oscars at the 1992 Academy Awards:
Best Picture
Best Actor in a Leading Role - Anthony Hopkins
Best Actress in a Leading Role - Jodie Foster
Best Director - Jonathan Demme
Best Adapted Screenplay - Ted Tally
Oscar nominations:
Best Editing
Best Sound
This makes "The Silence of the Lambs" only the third film to win an Oscar in the five most important categories - the so-called Big Five - after "It Happened One Night" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".
It was definitely good - but best picture? Was the competition just not there that year?
15:30 I really felt sorry for the cat. First, it sees its servant captured and dragged away, after which it then spends a few days without food. Its servant finally returns a few days later, but it has a - a - a DOG - AN UGLY, STINKY DOG - with her. Must have been horrific for the poor cat. 😾
♥ ♥ ♥ Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
IT RUBS THE LOTION ON ITS SKIN, OR ELSE IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN!
Yes see every movie in this franchise. Even the originals are fantastic.
If you liked this, the TV show 'Hannibal' is one of the best shows I've seen, worth a watch.
14:26 - at least there was a complete stranger in the dark abandoned parking lot to ward off the suspected serial killer we know is on the hunt.
Logic = 💯🤣
"When did he have time to do that?" Hannibal Lecter is a Psychiatrist, which means he was trained as a medical doctor. He is well-educated on human anatomy and physiology, and techniques of surgery and dissection. The truth is there are few people in the world more capable, and terrifying than a doctor with bad intentions.
My guess is that Lecter used his psychologist's training in hypnosis to convince "Multiple Miggs" to swallow his tongue after Clarice's visit to Lecter in the hospital.
I remember first seeing Jodie Foster as a child actress for TV shows in the 60s and early 70s. Back then she had blonde hair so this look was very different to me.
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". 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. 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.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
They didn't take lecter out of his cell because he was refusing to cooperate in assisting the FBI and Starling was just sent to try and get him to just fill out a questionnaire and spy on what lecter was doing. Afterwards, Miggs was already dead and the cell next door was empty.
"I'm having an old friend for dinner."
Notice he said "for dinner," not "over for dinner."
Completely changes the meaning, coming from a cannibal.
Wow, really concerned about that monetization. Maybe don't do R-rated movies
a britisher...and not once did she show any hint of recognition for hopkins...o lord we've fallen on evil times
Hello Alyska. You should check out " Prisioners" with Hugh Jackman
This is an absolute classic! I can't believe it was made before you were born🐸
The beginning of this reaction is comedy gold. Poor Alyska.
Hannibal (the movie) is a cracking sequel, it's well worth checking out. Red Dragon and Hannibal Rising are okay, you can take them or leave them. If you want to treat yourself to something REALLY special, check out the Hannibal TV series, which is three seasons of GENIUS.
Red Dragon was\is the prequel and Hannibal was\is a sequel to this (with Hannibal Rising is a 2nd time as such prequel to Red Dragon, when Hannibal was growing up and why he did what he did).
It's really easy in Britain to buy eggs or caterpillars of some big exotic silkmoths, if you really want to. I recommend Indian Moon Moths, "Actias selene". I think the caterpillars eat oak, but the adults don't feed so they're easy to keep 🙂.
If you want to understand how great an actor Hopkins is watch him play a polar opposite character in Meet Joe Black
Still can't believe Billy is the captain from Monk
The directing style is dated, but this movie is top notch. It freaked me out when it first came out, but now I watch it as a dark romantic comedy.
