Jodie Foster was actually so scared of Anthony Hopkins that she avoided him off camera and never actually talked to him until the filming wrapped. On the other hand, Anthony was intimidated by working with her too, cause she had just won an Oscar. They ended up good friends after all, though.
She probably avoided him because she wanted to be scared of him for the sake of the role.
Was that award for "The Accused"?
@@jjkcharlie : Yes. Jodie Foster won an Oscar ( her first ) for her role in 'The Accused' ( 1988, ) as a rape victim further abused by the system.
@@wfly81it doesn't sound like that. Look up her interview with Graham Norton.
They never met off camera and the first scene they meet is actually the one.
"I'm having an old friend for dinner." One of my favorite lines from any movie.
Definitely one of the best movies lines ever...
especially as many of us are not sad if Chilton doesn't survive lol
I ate his liver….
@Vahan Eloyan haha don't forget the favourite beans and chianti
@@adrianhempfing2042 fava beans
@@randomaccessfemale I wonder if that was an autocorrect, typed fava became favourite Or I just forgot fava lol
Fun fact: Buffalo Bills' dog 'Precious' was the same dog that stole Batman's Batarang in Batman Returns. She retired in 1992 and passed away peacefully at the age of 17 the same year.
She was also in The Burbs as the neighbor's dog. Her name was Darla.
We stan a hard-working ACTRESS!
Plus Pee Wee's Big Adventure!
Dottie in _Coming to America_
She'll always be Precious to me lol
I saw this in a theater back in 1991. Despite being packed, I've never been in a more completely still and silent theater than when Buffalo Bill clicks on the night-vision goggles at the climax. It was like 200 people all holding their breaths at the same time.
I remember that moment vividly in the theater as well.
The fear Jodie conveys in that scene was palpable. So stressful!
No matter how many times I’ve watched it I still hold my breath during that sequence.
Me too, I almost krept down on the floor i couldn’t take all the tension 😅
Me to the absolute most intense collective movie experience I’ve had in a theater,
Hopkins was on screen for under 18-minutes, and made an absolute icon of a film villain.
more of an anti hero, not villain
The expression on Steph’s face throughout this entire movie was PRICELESS 😂😂😂
Hannibal actually considers Clarice as a friend.
She actually treated him with respect and shared her deepest emotions with him.
He felt Miggs was just an animal the world would be better off without.
Makes me sympathize with Hannibal lol
@@lucianaromulus1408hii😊
Above all else, Hannibal does not tolerate rudeness. Many of his victims found that out the hard way.
He makes it clear at the end, "I have no plans to call on you. The world is more interesting with you in it."
*He prefers to dine on the rude & incompetent, (Dr Chilton) as it helps make the word a better place to live in.
My advice, don't be rude or incompetent anywhere near him, or he might have you over for dinner.
Hannibal also makes the comment "Some of our stars are the same". Can't remember if this was from the SOtL book or the Hannibal book. But he views Clarice as similar to himself.
Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster we’re fantastic in this movie. Congrats on em for winning the Oscar’s for Best Actor and Actress
Q😊😊😊😊😊😊q😊alors 😅
*were
simple past tense ... not "we are"
Dont forget Levine who played Buffalo Bill...utterly fantastic
Swept all five major Oscars. In my top 10 for sure.
Hopkins is my favourite actor of all time. He brings such presence to every role.
In the Fall of 1973, PBS began broadcasting Dr. Jacob Bronowski's "The Ascent of Man," a miniseries about Culture and Science. The person introducing each segment was the young Anthony Hopkins. Both Presenter and Creator were impressive, especially episode #11, "Knowledge or Certainty." Dr. Bronowski's ad-libbed conclusion has stayed with me over the decades: th-cam.com/video/ltjI3BXKBgY/w-d-xo.html
I first saw him in "The Bounty." I knew, even when I was a little kid, that he would be famous.
"You guys should wear face masks"
Well Lector took that advice to heart 😂
Perhaps too literally, huh? 😉
This was the prequel to Face/Off. 😁
This is one of the movies that I will always watch no matter how many times I've seen it. Absolute masterpiece!
Same here. It's so rewatchable and a truly masterful film that deserved every Oscar win it got.
This and Shawshank❣️
Jonathan Demme was such a remarkable and unique filmmaker. Married to the Mob, Something Wild, Rachel Getting Married, Swing Shift, Philadelphia, and especially Stop Making Sense (greatest concert film ever made), are just so outstanding and interesting in many ways.
Don’t forget My Cousin Vinny
To me he captured the feeling of the early to mid 90s better than any don't l film makers
@@llorona7847 that's Jonathan Lynn, not Demme. Great flick either way though!
@@17thknight I'd say he captured the mid to late 80s even better!
@@reservoirdude92 damn, you’re right. Idk how I got that confused. Good looking out
Every scene is so well paced, lit and edited, that the story just flows beautifully. The musical score sets the tone, and it gets under your skin. I have seen this movie so many times, and it grabs my attention every single time. For a first feature film debut, Jonathan Demme smashed it out of the park.
Agree on everything, but that was definitely NOT Demme's first film.
Anybody else die laughing when she said “I’d wear a face mask, you guys” right before the literal face mask scene? 🤣
I was cackling! 😂😂😂😂
This is in my opinion, one of the top three movies of ALL TIME. It won the big five at the oscars, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Picture, and Best Screenplay. Phenomenal work of art with amazingly complex characters and Jodie's portrayal of Clarice is something we will never see again - Clarice Starling is a very complex and relatable character who isn't overpowered, impossibly strong for her size- but rather an intelligent individual who is relentlessly embracing her femininity. Through her pure intentions and authenticity, Jodie's character became a symbol of divine power motivated by pure desires to save weaker individuals in her world. Despite the fact she will never be as physically strong as the men who tower over her, she preservers because she sees saving other innocent lives as a parallel to saving the lambs. The whole point Jodie was trying to make was that in the past, since women didn't have the strength or "heroism" that could compare to men, Hollywood often resorts to crafting lazy, unrealistic female heroines (i.e marvel women) who possess unfathomable qualities and don't come across as relatable at all. Besides this, often the only redeeming quality of women's characters in film is their attractiveness, or their relevance is limited to being as the love intrest to their male costars. The Silence of the Lambs changed that when Clarice Starling appeared on screen. The producers took the time to flesh out Jodie's character, Clarice, thereby allowing this talented actress to portray an authentic female role who embodies the characteristics of someone motivated by a well-developed moral compass rather than such trivial, one-dimensional(a relief for audiences). She is then juxtaposed against her male colleagues, almost all of whom are motivated purely by advancement rather than the cause itself.
Foster is such an excellent choice for the role of an agent who is very capable, but undeniably far more brains than brawn. She didn’t have to do much acting when it comes to intelligence. She was already reading at three years old, and continued to be quite an academic achiever, all the way to graduating _magma cum laude._
I still find it funny what a poor speculator I was. When I was a kid, watching her in her younger roles, she seemed to me like she was going to be taller. She maxed out at 5’3”. Obviously, she hasn’t let that hinder her, and more power to her for it.
@@0okamino all so true! jodie's genius is remarkable to watch. she is relentlessly 5'3- she really came into her own in this role and I personally don't think another actress could ever authentically replicate what she did with Clarice ...
Completely agree
People nowadays forget that this was filmed before CSI or Dexter .. so seeing all this forensics stuff was quite new and the scenes with the dead bodies being examined were even more shocking back then.
Ted Levine (Buffalo Bill) deserved atleast an Oscar nomination as Best Supporting Actor.
Hopkins is amazing.
My favorite scene of all-time is in The Elephant Man - when he sees John Merrick for the first time. It's a single shot of Hopkins face, 30 or so seconds, no break away shot. You see an entire range of human emotions gone thru - shock, horror, disgust, realization, self perspective, compassion, empathy, sadness. Such an amazing scene.
Hannibal was about to cry listening to Clarice's story.. that was a powerful scene. Anthony Hopkins is amazing in this movie🔥👏🏼
I'm unsure whether that's because the Dr Lecter was sincerely moved by the story or whether because Sir Anthony Hopkins made a conscious effort to blink as little as possible to add depth to the character's powers of observation. Regardless, I agree that it does speak to his acting skills.
I feel there’s never been a movie like this since Silence of the Lambs! Definitely worth all the accolades it won! One of my favorite thrillers/suspense movies!
Now THAT was a movie! Talent in front and behind the camera.
The fact that this still holds up so well today is a testament to how great it is! So many turns!
Steph's scream wins an Oscar too 😫😏
Anthony Hopkins won the best actor Oscar for this movie while only being on screen less than 25 minutes total. That's how incredible he was in this role. I believe this is still the only horror movie to win for best picture. This is still one of my favorites. Enjoyed y'alls reactions!
16 minutes.
@@keithgoodson687 24 minutes, 52 seconds is the exact length with moments where we hear him talking, but camera is on Jodie Foster.
Didn't sixth sense win any Oscars?
I can't imagine another person playing Hannibal at the time. Anthony Hopkins is so menacing in the performance and he is behind bars and glass the entire time. The level of discomfort it exudes is the sign of not just a good director, but one who understands his art 100%.
Well Mads Mikkelsen portrayed that character with perfection too
You guys both looked you were about to cry from the stress of the night vision basement scene. I can relate: I saw this opening weekend at the theater and it was utterly silent in there during that scene
Nice bit of trivia. Anthony Hopkins stared in the 1969 Academy Award winning film _The Lion in Winter_ as a young and buff Richard the Lionheart along side giants like Peter O'Toole and Katherine Hepburn. Hepburn was enormously helpful to Hopkins and their friendship would span their lifetimes. Hepburn's performance as Queen Katherine of Aquitaine was so powerful and her voice and diction so precise that Hopkins would later claim he mimicked it for the character of Hannibal Lecter. Once you know this and go back and watch Hepburn it is uncanny and you can almost hear Katherine Hepburn saying, "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."
"I don't think ten showers would have been enough." LOL!* (*see "Ace Ventura" decontaminating in shower.)
Hannibal was a psychological profiler just like Clarice is. It's why he finds her interesting just like Will Graham's character in the Red Dragon movie. It takes creativity to figure out serial killers fantasies, so Hannibal thinks Clarice and Will are not unlike him. They all share a perverse creativity.
One of the all-time great films of any genre, a true masterpiece of film making, directing, acting, writing, editing - just perfect - and SO SCARY!! Loved watching you guys watch this classic! I'll be back again!
Watched it in theaters when it opened while on vacation in the UK. I was shell shocked. Watched it again on the ferry back home to Denmark. Have watched it repeatedly through the years since; as you say it still holds up 100% to this day.
I adore this movie and watch it over and over again. Hopkins and Foster are perfect. Hannibal is fascinating. The song crazy boy is dancing to is my ringtone.
_Goodbye horses, I'm flying over you!_
Goodbye horses gives me the creeps.
@@cmo6055 👁👄👁🐴
Great reaction. Tak Fujimoto is my favorite cinematographer who also shot Star Wars. His signature close-ups here really elevated the performances.
Nice reaction. I am a bit surprised by Jaby's surprise that a movie from the early 1990's "held up". The early to mid 90's was a great time for movies.
I've seen this movie a few times all the way through and also many, many TH-cam reactions - and I keep noticing more and more details each time.
Something I picked up on is how Crawford and Lecter are established as sort of competing father figures for Clarice. The first time this idea hit me was a shot from the end of the movie, when Clarice graduates and we get a tight close up shot of Crawford shaking Clarice's hand. The shot reminded me of a shot from earlier in the film where we get a tight closeup when Lecter hands Clarice the Buffalo Bill casefile and he caresses her finger. And I've noticed other parallels between Crawford and Lecter - Clarice was Crawford's student at UVA and when Clarice first meets Lecter she tells him "I'm a student. I'm here to learn from you." And in the last scene, when Clarice graduates, Crawford is there to congratulate her like a proud father but then he immediately makes an excuse to duck out early leaving Clarice alone...just as Lecter telephones in to congratulate her on finally "silencing the lambs."
And more recently I noticed in the first scene we see Crawford's office is a windowless room and is found in the basement at the end of a pretty long path of twists and turns...just like Lecter's cell. Crawford's office walls are concrete block and covered with newspaper clippings while Lecter's cell is stone masonry and covered with his drawings. (I also noticed both Crawford and Lecter wear their hair similarly slicked back.)
Brilliant analysis of this excellent movie. Thanks for praising all the elements that go together to form quality cinema.
This is one of the best reactions I've ever seen, of any movie. So great. Thoroughly enjoyed.
I have been watcging this movie for 30 years and I still have to look away when she goes inside the van. Great reaction guys!
The music score is by Howard Shore who would go on to do The Lord of the Rings trilogy/Hobbit movies; as well as many more greats.
I love how this movie breaks the 4th wall. The close-up shots put you in the skin of the person being spoken to. Very, very well done.
Jaby, your laugh at Clarice when she is crawling under the storage unit door and hands that man her card was amazing. I thought I was some kid of lone degenerate for always thinking that line and her delivery of it was hilarious. Thank you. And I loved this whole reaction!! Stay Gold!!
Great analysis of the film. Loved the reaction ❤
The character of Jack Crawford was based on John Douglas. (the godfather of modern FBI profiling) He was adamantly against the death penalty until his work in profiling serial killers. His young daughter once asked him "are monsters real?"
He told her "Yes, and they look just like us."
Perfect timing because Jodie's back! She's doing the next True Detective and I am so excited for it! Hope you watch the sequels/prequel. Some were pretty good (especially Red Dragon), and some were questionable. Maybe watch Hannibal the TV show too! Get into it! 😄
Whoa. Really?
@@t0dd000 The prequel based on Thomas Harris's Return of the Red Dragon featuring Anthony Hopkins wasn't as good as Manhunter, the 1986 Michael Mann adaptation of that book.
I loved Red Dragon
That TV show is an absolute visual feast.
YOUNG. OF. DOlph. FAME.
Yeah.....saw this in the theater with a date (great first date movie, huh?).
I left the theater with my arm full of "holes" because my date kept gripping the arm so tightly.
This one film that pretty much follows the book exactly. Great vid, guys!
This movie is a masterpiece!
Please watch Hannibal the tv show! It’s a prequel to the movies and it’s so good and underrated. Mads Mikkelsen is incredible as always.
Incredible Show for Network TV...
Not only watching your great reactions, but also your post-viewing analysis was stellar. Thank you!
I am having an old friend for dinner, the best line in cinema history.
I first saw this movie after it was re-released back in the theatres in 92 right after it won Best Picture. I was about 16 then and it left an indelible impression on me. I could still remember it was raining heavily that day and the cold was not helping either. Right after walking out of this movie, I really felt like the killer or someone was after me. So as far as I'm concerned whenever anyone asked me what's my favorite movie of all time, THIS IS IT! Hands down!
This has been my favorite movie since I was 4yrs old! I've seen it a million times and never get tired of it.
Loved your reaction to it lol.
Love your reactions! Stellar performance by Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster. Probably the best horror/thriller movie I ever watch.
The book is excellent. There is not an ounce of padding - every page progresses in lean, tight plotting. Highly recommended!
What a fun reaction -- I never noticed the field of vision tightness before. Thank you for sharing!
One of the rare movie to win all top 5 Academy Award (Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Screenplay, etc...) in the history of Oscars!
Although, I wish JFK should have won too that year because it's also so friggin awesome.
Referring to your mention of scenes with framing and doing a lot with just facial expression and posture: Hopkins was fantastic in all his speeches, chilling stuff. But I have to admit one of the most effective, tight little piece of acting was when he first picked up the survey and was flipping through it. Just a casual, normal lean against the glass, normal seeming friendly little smile, a little wink. Yet somehow, it seemed like a "not-human" faking a casual, normal lean against the glass, friendly little smile, and a wink.
Brilliant film, one of my favorites. Anthony Hopkins gives one of the best performances ever and Jodie Foster is iconic as well
The first time I saw this movie was at a friends house on a Saturday night; I was 20 years old and I drove home (about 5 miles away) with the dome light on.
This movie freaked me out for a long while, but it did get me interested in reading Along Came a Spider which is another psychological thriller (also made into a movie)
5:04 She is like: "Oh no he didn´t" LOL
Best reaction I’ve seen on the channel. Many thanks for the laughs you two.
I saw this upon release. It was a date movie 😮 and it was almost sold out so we could only get seats on the front row. Can you imagine Lecter’s close ups?! No one knew how terrifying and unnerving it was going to be.
The date didn’t go well, no - before you ask. She wanted to go straight home after and never called me again after. 😂
"The date didn’t go well, no - before you ask. She wanted to go straight home after and never called me again after. "
Was it because you told her that it needed to put the lotion on its skin?
Excellent reaction and analysis to one of my favourite films of all time! I really appreciated your thoughts after the film - this is what I am looking for when watching reactions! 👍
During the running off w/the lamb confession there was film shot of a young girl running away w/a lamb. But the intensity of the gaze & the lines between Hopkins & Foster during the story was so intense the Director said no way I'm cutting this. & Jodie Fosters slight regional accent is superbly correct. (& Not the usual fake 'southern accent'.)
Fun Fact for Steph: Crawford is played by a young Scott Glenn (Stick from "Daredevil").
GREAT reaction! Now you can see why it swept the 1994 academy awards. it was no competition. simply outstanding film. one of the greatest in cinema history
When Jaby said, when the night-vision goggles were turned on, "I thought it was a guy behind her": a quote that will come to mean something "special" later in the film.
Fantastic point about the close shots and acting, I never ever thought about that!!!
Wild Bill is played by the same actor who was the police captain in Monk
Wild Bill was in the Green Mile.
This remains the only movie that made me scream out loud whilst watching in the cinema. The tension build is amazing. Absolutely incredible filmmaking.
The dog in the movie her name was Darla and she was in several movies before she passed away at 17 years old. She has her own Wikipedia page.
Buffalo Bill's character creation is amazing and this film walks on three legs: Clarice, Hannibal, AND BILL.
Ted Levine (Buffalo Bill) was on Monk for years, and the voice of Sinestro in the Justice League series.
The Buffalo Bill house is very close to me. Its a small but creepy ride back to its location. I always wonder how the location scout found such a place. You can stay in it for Halloween. It gets booked ahead of time without fail every year.
Your reactions prove what an amazing piece of filmmaking this was. Just imagine the crowd who saw this for the first time in cinemas in 1991!
Big props to your emotional intelligence Mr. Jaby, you really picked up super quickly on the discomfort of the gazes on Clarice and how small she seemed in comparison to all the men around her-- and then 11:30 "Is this what it's like?" 🙏 The filmmakers did an incredible job of forcing that empathy out of male viewers just by how creepy and oppressive the dead camera staring is (and the claustrophobic angles of the shots like you said), but you followed their path willingly and hopefully got a lot more from the film for it. Great reaction to both of you!
Nice reaction & commentary. 👍
Also, Steph, love the outfit. 😏
"It puts the lotion in the basket!"
You two should definitely do a reaction to the Hannibal series. Such a great show!
One of the very few films to win the four top academy awards! Best picture, best director, best actor and Best actress !!!!!! Also best adapted screenplay!
43:20 when you think Clarice was making "too much noise," (breathing hard in the dark) I can speak as a former Firefighter (i'm an old man, now). I can say that, despite training, when you are terrified, your training doesnt make you NOT afraid (breathing hard, heart beating, sweating, and sweat in your eyes), it just makes you do those things AND do your training.
Sweat in the eyes was, hands down, the worst physiological fear response for me: you dont get sweat in your eyes during training, but in real situations...the stinging sweat BLINDS you! The only thing that makes those things MAYBE go away is...experience. You still respect the danger, but you get comfortable with the fear.
This is hands down the best adaptation of a book I've ever seen. It perfectly captures the feel. They had to cut some things because of time, but every cut made sense. Highly recommend the book, and the first book Red Dragon.
The technical insights, for this, and for _The Green Mile_ the last reaction I watched, very appreciated.
I love the subtle attraction between Clarice and Hannibal, it can be so easy to miss that he's basically courting her, and she is receptive to it.
If Hannibal had just gone with the book ending it would have paid the subtle flirting off.
No way, If anything, hes asexual or gay. He is interested in her, but only because it amuses him how much power he has over her. She is terrified of him, but she is ambitious, and he is the most fascinating character she has ever met in her work.
@@paulinegallagher7821 You're going to be disappointed in the book ending to Hannibal.
@@paulinegallagher7821 Pretty sure he is Bisexual and the books make it clear there is a romantic interest going on between them. Yes, the emotional connection they end up sharing, especially in the books, is the most poignant but Clarice is, on some level, in love with Hannibal even though it takes her a while to realize that because by the end of the book Hannibal, she literally runs away with him.
Unlike most people, Clarice is pretty honest with him and doesn't usually try to fool, manipulate or flatter him.
Hannibal was proud of her for her catching Buffalo Bill without him having to tell her everything. She earned his respect, in a way he was testing her to see what she would do and if she would find the serial killer delivered through the various subtle clues and hints he gave her.
He basically courts her in a very bizarre way.
@@darcichambers6184 I was wondering if they had had even read any of the books or were somewhat aware of what happens in the books, lol.
Clarice's pretty classmate was played by Kasi Lemmons who would go on to become a successful director, starting with the vey fine "Eve's Bayou" (1997).. Of course, Jodie herself would go on to direct as well.
This is such a classic. It's awesome you two reacted to it!
One of my favourite movies. Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster were incredible in this. Scary as H especially the ending.
I loved all aspects of that movie. I saw it in the movie theater. So Lecters BIG head on the big screen. And what I loved most about this movie is the solo interactions. Starling with the doctor, then the guard and then Lecter. They all looked DIRECTLY into the camera with the interactions back and forth. It added SO MUCH to the story itself and the creepiness of it all. Glad you loved it. Academy award winning this movie
One of my favorite movies ever. Anytime it’s on tv I just watch it all the way to the end wondering how it’ll end, even though I’ve watched it so many times.
One of my favorite films of all time. Every time i watch it feels like the first time again.
2:50 “Shout out to the focus puller.”
Tak Fujimoto is one of the most underrated DPs/cinematographers. He did this, the Sixth Sense, Gladiator, Ferris Bueller, John Adams and more.
Hopkins mastered the role in his own way(s)...his character was obviously very affluent and raised well of proper social skills and etiquette, when filming began of Hannibal and Clarice first meeting, Hopkins was standing...the director asked him why he was standing, he said it was proper and respectful to stand (or be standing) when a lady entered the room...props to Hopkins living and investing in his roll! Also, and in hindsight Foster and Hopkins developed a friendship, but Jodi has said in the beginning of filming, when Hannibal made fun of her accent...which she had adopted for the roll- when Hannibal mocked her and said "What was your father, was he a coal miner.....", that was Hopkins adlib on his own to mock her accent (not directed to, lol), and Foster said it caught her off guard, and it actually MADE HER MAD that he had the nerve to mock her accent, that she thought she was doing so good with...and how taken aback she was, lol. But also said it actually worked that Hopkins pushed her buttons, adding to the tension between the two that translated onto the screen, LOL!!! She said it pissed her tf off though in the moment, and of course filming and the scene continued...so her stoic and blunt demeaner and body language when she delivered her lines in response was real, LOL!!!..she was actually pissed in the moment, lol. Brilliant of Hopkins to surprise her with that and dial her up...and she had to hold it of how mad it made her, but it comes thru in her delivery after, lol. Genuine emotions of pissed off she had going on after that, lol.
Head of the SWAT team is singer Chris Isaak in one of his first acting roles.
I like the close ups of Clarice’s hands touching Lecter’s and then at the end Jack Crawford’s implying that she has been touched by both the evil and good sides of human nature
The amount of movies jaby watched with so much intellectual keeness and observations is just awesome 💖 being an Indian I'm curious about the list of the movies which jaby watched in his lifetime. I just love this guy wholesome personality.
It's the Marine Corps OCS obstacle course and someone did a good job of running her through it. She looked like an "Agent" running the course.
This is a top 10 of all time movie. True masterpiece.
One of my favorite movies of all time. Loved watching you experience it for the first time!!
A modern classic. The acting, writing, directing . . . all superb. I saw this when it was originally in the theaters and I walked out stunned. So deserving of every award it received (and there were many). A little trivia: Michelle Pfeiffer was originally offered the role of Clarice, but she turned it down because she felt it was "too dark". I'm sure Jodie Foster said, "Thank you!" lol
Only time I left the theater after the movie ended and everyone left in complete silence
I stayed home sick from school in 95 when i was 12 and my rents had this on vhs and i decided to watch it. I was so engrossed and impressed with every single second of this movie i have seen it 100 times since. Still evokes the same emotions knowing exactly whats going to happen. A masterpiece.
