Once in a while, a movie goer comes across a film that generates so much excitement that it becomes the conversation topic of most household and office gatherings.
In 1991, this phenomenon took place and The Silence Of The Lambs
Anthony Hopkins is the main protagnist in the tale. He’s Dr Hannibal Lecter, an evil genius who has a predilection for human flesh. When the movie was screened around the world, Hannibal the cannibal became the catch-phrase.
A lot of people thought it was “cute”.Not me. I thought it was gross. What made this movie so thrilling was the tale of courting a killer to find another killer. Jodie Foster in one of her most engrossing roles played a rookie FBI officer, Clarice Starling, who has been assigned to track down a murderer who skins his victims.
The trail of clues leads to Dr Hannibal Lecter, who himself is a deranged killer of immense intelligence. Thus, the scene was set for one of the most mind-blowing visual sequences that ever caught the imagination of cinema viewers as well as producers of Hollywood.
Projecting an image of vulnerability as well as deceptive maturity, Clarice manages to piece together some of the vital clues that eventually lead her to “Buffalo Bill”, the name of the serial killer.
Director Jonathan Demme all the credit given to him for giving this film the edge-of-your-seat tension that keeps audiences transfixed in their seats.
It is at once brilliant and at the same time excruciating suspenseful. The two characters who gave this Cheap DVD: The Silence Of The Lambs (Two-Disc Collector’s Edition) (1991)
In the end, it would not be too presumptuous to say that Hopkins almost ran away with the show, with Foster as a close second.
Truly, The Silence Of The Lambs
The success of this film would later spawn two more sequels: Hannibal and Red Dragon, but the latter two would not be able to match the original movie for its shocking climax and the thrill of the chase.
It has been a long 16 years since this movie hit the screens. I have not come across movie that has been able to match its level of excitement.
