The silence of the Lambs...........?

Question

Opinions?

Answer 1

SPOILERS

On a 5-star scale, this is one of only a handful of movies that I give all 5 stars to.  The first time I saw it, my heart was still pounding 10 minutes after the credits finished rolling: The tension built to such a crescendo that I became completely transfixed; I lost my sense of my surroundings. Clarice's helplessness, waving her gun around, not knowing where to aim, and the night-vision goggles, just took my breath away: it was like being injected over and over with adrenalin!

I was intrigued to read that Hopkins is almost never captured blinking his eyes in the film: it makes his unremitting gaze all the more malevolent.

In repeated viewings, the best part is the intimacy that develops between Hannibal and Clarice: he masterfully picks apart a woman who's been trained to keep her impenetrable shield up: classic case of irresistible force meets immovable object, of dangerous man and adventurous, virtuous woman.  It excites a man's fantasies of conquering and stripping bare the mind of the most resistant woman, getting her to confess her most secret intimacies willingly, while being so helplessly vulnerable, so masterfully seduced.  Mesmerizing to watch!

Thanks for asking :)

Answer 2

I think it was fasinating!

The coldness from Hannibal, and the madness from some characters.

Judy foster was great, the dialogue was really smart, and the scene shots were perfect. The argument of the movie is also great, and highly developed

Take care

Answer 3

A pretty friggen great movie!

Answer 4

One of the top ten best movies ever made.

Answer 5

I liked it .  Much better than the second.  It was too much.  I also liked Hannibal rising.  Freaky to find that at the end he hunted down someone in a small town a 1/2 hr from where I live in quiet Canada.  

Answer 6

deep movie, plays on a lot of fears, a great film

Answer 7

It was one of only three movies that ever swept the major Academy Awards - Best Picture, Best Actor (Anthony Hopkins), Best Actress (Jodie Foster), Best Director (Jonathon Demme), and Best Writing (Ted Tally).  The othet two are "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975), and "It Happened One Night" (1933).

SOTL is one of the great psychological thrillers of all times!  Anthony Hopkins is SO chilling as Dr. Hannibal (the Cannibal) Lecter, that he gives me goose-flesh!  He received the Oscar, even though he was on screen for less than 20 minutes!  

I think it's one of the scariest, yet most clever pictures ever made.

Answer 8

I thought it was fantastic. Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins were brilliant together. The dialogue was genius and the story line was superb. I highly recommend it.

Answer 9

Good movie, Good book.

Answer 10

A Classic
