A small detail

Noticed a small detail. Before Hannibal started to kill, the prison guards helped him organize the table full of his paintings, and a magazine appeared in the close-up shot that read Bon appétit! In French, I wish you a good appetite. It is a pun. On the surface, you want to eat steak. In fact, the real food is a series of victims starting with two prison guards. The French subtly expresses his elegance, and his face is still full of blood like a commander. As chic and free as home. Just one shot shows the director's ingenuity and skill!

    The 1991 Oscars for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Screenplay Adaptation, everyone has their place.

    The so-called classic is that no matter when it is turned out, it can be remembered for a long time, and it is worthy of repeated consideration and study. In fact, the novel itself is not so brilliant, but Anthony Hopkins's superb acting is interpreted to a nearly perfect state. ★★★★☆

The Silence of the Lambs quotes

  • Brooding Psychopath: HANNIBAL THE CANNIBAL!

  • Clarice Starling: The wig, the dress, the makeup. Raspail was a transvestite?

    Hannibal Lecter: In life? Oh, no. Garden-variety Manic Depressive. Tedious, very tedious. I did not kill him I assure you just tucked him away, very much as I found him, after he'd missed three appointments.

    Clarice Starling: If you didn't kill him, who did?

    Hannibal Lecter: Who can say? Best thing for him, really, his therapy was going nowhere. No, just think of him as a fledgling killer's first attempt at transformation.

    Clarice Starling: What do you mean fledgling killer? Do you mean he's killed again?

    Hannibal Lecter: I've been in this room for eight years, now Clarice, and I know they'll never let me out, not while I'm alive. What I want is a view where I can see a tree, or even water. I want to be in a federal institution far away from Doctor Chiltern. I'll help you catch him, Clarice.

    Clarice Starling: You know who he is, don't you? Tell me who decapitated your patient.

    Hannibal Lecter: All good things to those who wait. I've waited, but how long can you and Jackie-boy wait? Our little Billy must already be looking for that next special someone.
