Curiosités

Anecdotes:
When Jonathan Demme filmed the scene where Lecter and Starling first meet, Anthony Hopkins said he should look directly at the camera as it panned into his line of sight. He felt Lecter should be portrayed as "knowing everything." suite
Goofs:
Factual errors: When Clarice opens the music box, it plays and winds down. As it winds down, the musical pitch lowers. Actually, the pitch should stay the same - the music should just slow down. suite
Guillemet:
[first lines]
FBI instructor: Starling! Starling! Crawford wants to see you in his office.
Clarice Starling: Thank you, sir.

"The Godfather" of all thrillers, 28 August 2004
10/10
Author: Kristine (kristinedrama14@msn.com) de Chicago, Illinois

I've seen way too many thrillers. You name it: "Identity", "Seven", "The Usual Suspects", etc., etc., etc. I remember my friend being so obsessed with "Silence of the Lambs", that it drove me crazy. And I hated the movie naturally and refused to see it. But everyone told me that I have to see this, so I let my guard down. And had an open mind, and I'm glad I did. My friend was right, this is a great movie. It is so well acted, I couldn't even describe. I loved "Silence of the Lambs" and would recommend it to anyone. It's creepy and exciting. Trust me, you'll love it.

10/10
