@@drabnail777 There's a difference between a strong female character because the story calls for one and a strong female lead because the message requires one. Good feminism films show women succeeding in spite of being a woman as opposed to BECAUSE they are a woman. Feminism has been hijacked by Hollywood, both in TV and film. It's all Ghostbusters 2016 and the malarkey pumped out by the CW. It's simple overcorrecting, which is where celebration is lost in translation and it's now "Wahmen need no man cuz man stupid, unga bunga". Real feminism is needed, but modern writers, especially female writers, lack the nuance to pull it off. They all prefer to hit everyone over the head with a mallet as opposed to striking with a scalpel.

@@AdamIsUrqed Not really, because would the story have changed much if the protagonist was a man? No. and thats the point. Its good that it wouldnt.

You've got it mixed. Feminism has hijacked hollywood. But i agree with the rest. The dumpster fire of what we have know is "real" feminism, or its natural progression, ie first its equality then its supremacy. Ofc, you cant have a "feminist supremacy" without men, thats not how nature evolved us.

At the end you note that the real terror of this movie is that there are people like Lecter in the world. The FBI estimates that there are approximately 50 serial killers operating freely in the US at any time. Lecter is mythical in his combined abilities and no real human comes close to his dangerousness. I wish you could have tried to explain the only plot hole I’ve noticed in this movie. It occurs in his cell when he is wrapped in his jacket and restrained and muzzled while talking with Chilton . Chilton is threatening him and Lecter offers to help him with revealing Bill’s true identity to the senator and you hear Chilton tell Barney to prepare him for transport. The screen flashes to Lecter looking onto the bed at Chilton’s pen . This pen or parts of it he uses to escape from the cuffs. How did he swallow it ? When he appeared before the senator he appears the same as he did in his cell, so there was no “ cleaning him up that might have given him a chance to get to the pen . His ability to manipulate his body to produce the piece of the pen is well known among certain types of yoga practices. Again, Lecter requires a mythical past to have provided him with access to that type of training and the writer gives him some of the potential for such training in his descriptions of his childhood and adolescence.

Everything about this film is perfect. The acting, screenplay, cinematic, story etc. I guess the reason why it's so noteworthy, is that it feels "real". When Hannibal speaks, it's as if he's talking to YOU... his gaze, his voice, it commands. We also see the struggles of Starling... working harder than her peers, being better than them at some point, yet all of that is put down just because she's a female. Billy, just one of the numerous serial killers that are portrayals of real serial killers... much more impact back then though, since people were still "virgins" to the animalistic nature of man. Like back then, parents would let their kids go home by themselves from school. People would hitchhike / allow hitchhikers etc. So on and so forth... amazing film. Wish we've had more of these types of films.

I think you're onto something there about the ending. It's a combination of hearing what he's capable of at the start (savaging that nurse), being lulled into the idea that you aren't going to see anything gory or terrifying because he "seems" to just be an exceptionally intelligent talker (until he escapes, using everything at his disposal to get out - and in "disguise"), and then, as you say, he just ends the phone call to Clarice and walks off into the crowd, looking like a completely ordinary person. That was the aspect of the film that kept me awake all night the first time I watched it, the fact that he just blends in and seems unremarkable.

I remember watching this at a young age and being terrified and tense throughout. As you mentioned, when Horror didn't need loud jump scares. Another classic. You're on a roll man. Great work.

"I'm having an old friend for dinner." Oh, he's going to invite him for dinner plans. *OH, HES GONNA EAT HIM*

Interestingly this movie inspired lots of women to join the FBI and the police force which had positive influence on interviewing some killers who were more willing to talk to females than male detectives.

it wasn't because Dr. Lecter liked Starling, not yet at least. Killing Miggs was repaying an insult. The one thing Dr. Lecter can't stand above all is discourtesy. He spared Starling not only because he ended up liking her, but because she gave him the respect he felt he deserved. "The world is better with you in it"

I love this film for Lecter and his portrayal by Anthony Hopkins who not only made the role his own but made it almost impossible for anyone else to do the role justice.

Yeah been waiting for this. Thanks so much. 😊

In the book Buffalo Bill wants to become his own mother rather than a woman in general. She was pregnant with him while in a beauty contest and when she won it she thought she'd be able to become an actress but she never did and became an alcoholic. She gave up young Jame who was supposed to be called James but the name on his birth certificate was spelled wrong. He was sent to a foster home he lived in from when he was 2 to 10 after which he lived with his grandparents who he killed when he was 12. Watching old videos of his mother in the beauty contest gave him his sick "kill women and make a suit out of their skins" idea.

This movie is a perfect example of a female character vs the world done right. The movies nowadays are so obnoxious about it. Ironically they’re doing more damage to the cause than actually helping it. It comes off annoying and childish. Also having it shoved down our throats every minute gets very annoying and played out. Thankfully the laws of the universe apply here. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. People are starting to get sick and tired of the shameless money grab guised as “equality”.

When a film as good as this leaves a sense of dread and horror in you without any jump scares or big, loud scary set pieces, with amazing acting and writing it's a masterpiece. Also, Clarice Starling is a strong female character shown through her actions and how she can keep control and composure in dangerous and difficult situations. Something modern day films struggle with and end up shoving it down your throat and just telling you how strong they are without actually showing and proving why through the writing, acting and directing.

great take on the movie. would love to hear what you have to say about "beyond the black rainbow" & "mandy".

You make interesting points about the revelations of exposition - a lesser film would use each revelation as a shock or surprise - but by using the Hitchcockian definition of suspense -- putting the audience in a superior position to the characters (knowing 'the bomb is under the table' when the characters do not) we are given a false sense of control and anticipation. That's why the switch at the end works so well - we have been lulled into a subliminal state of comfort - only to have the rug pulled out when we learn they are at two different houses.

Would love an "Explained" video on Hannibal himself.

Long live Anthony Hopkins!
