What movies would you like to see us cover in a future video?! Also, keep an eye out for podcast episode on The Silence of the Lambs-you can check out the podcast here:

The one thing no one has the balls to admit is how Hannibal is actually really charming at times. I'd love to have dinner with him... kinda.

Hey Screenplay, Michael here

Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins are absolutely magnificent in this masterpiece. It’s so strange being threatened so deeply by Lecter when he’s behind bars, the scripting of his psychological manipulation was fantastic. Edit: Behind reinforced glass sorry- adding even more intimidation to the scene.

Fun Fact:

I love how even though Michael has nearly a million subscribers he still checks the comments to reply to so many people, just shows how much he cares for his audience and brings us quality content that highlights how much of an expert he is in his work.

“dissecting” haha i see what you did there

How to be a serial killer.... brought to you by skillshare.

There is only one moment in the film that still sends literal shivers down my otherwise unbothered spine with heart racing. That is Hannibal's finger stroking Clarice's when handing over the file. It was shocking. It was brilliant. That moment captured on film at once, the change from standard tension of potential danger for Clarice to an actual personal promise/threat. What that promise was, I didn't know. Was it a declaration of love or admiration? Was it the menacing stroking of the lamb before slaughter? Or was it another clue for her that he was about to enter the world of actual physical contact that he had been so closely secluded from? We find one of the answers in a later film, some in this one, but in that brief moment, we are given the key without knowing which door it would lead to. SPOILER: It was all three.

"Good scenes make good movies." YOU DON'T SAY!

97 people need urgently therapy from DR. Lecter

...And now I'm reminded that Every Frame A Painting's still dead :(

That thing Hopkins does sucking air in through chattering teeth (at 20 seconds) stuck with me for years. One day I saw my cat do that, which came as a bit of shock. He was stalking a bird. He looked up at it and did a perfect Antony Hopkins impression. Lecter is a cat in a cage. Clarice is a starling.

I would be interested in seeing a video on 12 Angry Men or Schindler's list.

Every frame a painting also made a video about the first interaction with Clarice and Dr. Lector

My favourite part in The Silence of the Lambs is when Barney says to Clarice before the first interaction; "He's past the others in the last cell. I put a chair out for you." Gives me the chills every time

I always enjoy LFTS with some liver, some fava beans and a nice chianti.

Awesome to see a video talking about Silence which DOESN'T focus on the first meeting between Clarice & Lecter. That scene has been so over-analyzed. It's great, but it's over-analyzed. Kudos for realizing that every scene between them is worth close examination.

Clarice:

I just recently found out that the famous "Chianti" line is not actually Chianti in the book (since that wine would not work well with the fava beans) A man with a palate like Lector's would know that. The director, however, had to dumb down the specific sort of wine for the audience.
