The Silence of the Lambs | Year: 1991 Classification: Drama Directed: - Jonathan Demme Actors/Actresses: - Anthony Hopkins - Brooke Smith - Diane Baker - Jodie Foster - Scott Glenn Have the lambs stopped crying? The Silence of the Lambs (1991) was truly a magnificent movie. This film combined an excellent plot, excellent acting, wonderful directing, and a very dark musical score to make it more than the regular suspense/thriller genre that one is accustomed to. All of the Oscars won by this film, its director, its actors and actress were all well deserving. Director Jonathan Demme does a wonderful job of portraying this movie based on Thomas Harris' novel. Demme keeps the gore at a bare minimum, only focussing on two stomach churning scenes. One involving an autopsy, the other a prision escape. The film follows Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster), a very determined FBI agent in training. Starling is sent in to the criminal asylum to try to persuade Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) to fill out a questionaire about serial killers. Starling is very focused throughout the movie, but somehow she misses the true intentions on sending her to see Lecter. Lecter offers to help Starling with the "Buffalo Bill" (Ted Levine) case, in exchange for information from her about painful childhood memories. Every time Starling feeds Lecter a piece of her past he gives her a clue needed to help catch Buffalo Bill. Starling uses her new information to carry on with the investigation of Bill, all the while trying to acheive her ultimate goal of becoming a FBI agent in the Behavior Science Division. History shows films that win Oscars for Best Picture usually become a Classic. I feel that in twenty or thirty years this film will be no exception, and it will be listed with some of the most popular classics of our time. I rated this film 5 stars because it is a film in its own genre. I have yet to experience another film with its magnitude. I strongly encourage all film viewers who enjoy a strong suspense/thriller to watch this film.
