This chilling and moody horror film gives us not one, but two classic movie villains. Ted Levine's Jamie Gunn is a frightful mess of creepy weirdness. Anthony Hopkin's Hannibal Lector is a mixture of brutality and sinister smartness. The film has it's share of scares and surprises, but it is Hopkins's unsettling performance that gives the film its central scariness. Lector embodies evil and, yet, in this complex film, he is somewhat of an anti-hero - helping Jodie Foster's determined FBI agent to catch an equally dangerous (and free) predator. Silence of the Lambs terrifies while making you think. |

I thought that it was a great movie with good actors. I'm not the biggest Jodie Foster fan but she did great in this movie. |

The Doctor Will Eat You Now |
|
Jonathan Demme displays such an ingenuity in the art of suggestion that it is quite possible to emerge from 'The Silence of the Lambs' with a sensation of utter repulsion, despite the fact that, save for a bullet entering a cadaver, not a single act of violence is directly shown (even the infamous escape of the good doctor from the Tennessee constabulary does not actually depict any acts of violence onscreen). That would be impressive in and of itself, but that the film also has in it's creative arsenal the eerie cinematography of the talented Tak Fujimoto (whom would go on to do equally sterling work for the horror genre with the M. Night Shyamalan masterpiece 'The Sixth Sense'), the penetrating Thespianism of Anthony Hopkins, the virginal qualities of Jodie Foster, and the tightness of ... |

Buffalo Bill & A Nice Chianti |
|
The Silence Of The Lambs is a 1991 thriller film starring Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins and Ted Levine. It is based on the novel of the same name and won Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director (Jonathan Demme), Best Actor (Anthony Hopkins), Best Actress (Jodie Foster) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Ted Tally).
Although the movie mainly follows Clarice Starling (Foster), like everyone says, Anthony Hopkins stole the show. His performance is chilling, eerie and well-deserving of the Academy Award he won for this movie.
Jodie Foster kinda annoys me in every movie she's in. I haven't quite figured it out yet, but she still did a good job and also deserved the Oscar she was awarded.
I do wish we could chat longer, but I'm having an old friend for dinner. |

The Silence of the Lambs review |
|
One of the greatest suspense thrillers created in my opinion. You have a female FBI cadet Clarice Sterling (Jodie Foster), a sometimes cooperative Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) and a heinous criminal named Buffalo Bill (Jame Gyumb).
You can never flinch from the tense drama when Clarice and Hannibal converse. One cannot imagine that such a human being can torture women for personal gratification. The mood of the film is dark, yet it depicts the classical films that Alfred Hitchcock has invented. Elements of mystery and intellect were used to make the picture riveting. Of course, you have 2 powerhouse talents in Jodie and Anthony, their screen chemistry is unblemished. The soundtrack was also genius, Buffalo Bill dancing in front of the camera or Hannibal listening to classi... |
