The Silence of the Lambs. Dir. Jonathan Demme. Perf. Jodie Foster, Lawrence A. Bonney, Anthony Hopkins. Strong Heart/Demme Production, Orion Pictures Corporation, 1990. DVD.
The movie Silence of the Lambs is about FBI agent, Clarice Starling, who is sent to talk to notorious serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lector, to try and get information out of him about a recent serial killer who skins his victims. Lector doesn't make it easy for Clarice, he gives her the answers she is looking for in cryptic messages. Once Clarice figures out Lector's game, she is able to solve the case.
This movie is very suspenseful and thrilling. It can make you squirm in your chair, because of the graphic nature, but since it was made in 1991, they don't show much blood and guts. This movie was made around the time that criminal profiling started to take off and many people started to take and interest in criminal profiling after this movie came out. The movie is a little inaccurate about how criminal profiling in the FBI really works, but most movies now-a-days stretch the truth for better entertainment value. The camera angles used really helped make this movie.
