Not too many movie characters have inspired in us a terror that Dr.
Hannibal Lecter, brilliant psychiatrist portrayed brilliantly by Sir
Anthony Hopkins actually did when we saw 'The Silence of the
Lambs'. Silence of the Lambs is based on the book by the same name by
Richard Harris. The introduction of Hannibal Lecter in the movie is a
testament to Jonathan Demme's skills as a director. Jodi Foster as
Clarice Starling, a FBI trainee who is sent to Dr Lecter to seek
advice on how to catch a serial killer known as Buffalo Bill, plays
her part to perfection.
We felt that the showdown between Clarice Starling and Buffalo Bill
could have been made more believable. Apart from this minor flaw, this
movie deserves every acclaim it has received and has won the Oscar for
Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Best
Actress.
Dr Hannibal Lecter is one character that will not go out your head for
a long time and this is certainly a movie which is a must watch.
