Movie review : The Silence of the Lambs(1991)

Last year, I watched this movie for the first time. I was very excited and it moved my mind. This movie came out in 1991. It was directed by Jonathan Demme and the original story of the movie is a book written by Thomas Harris. The genre is suspense chiller. It was nominated for 5 major Academy Awards in 1992, so you can know that this is a good movie.

But the story is a little shocking. The main characters are Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) who is  an FBI trainee and a  serial killer Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins). This movie shows their strange relationship.

This movie’s cast is nice. Especially Anthony Hopkins‘s acting is great. His acting time was only 16 minutes, but he has a strong presence. I think Hannibal Lecter’s acting is very difficult because he is a serial killer、abnormal criminal and a former psychiatrist. Also he is both a creepy and a gentlemanly man. It is expressed well. I want you to watch it.

This movie may have content that gives the viewer fear as the contents of the murder and the criminals are revealed. However, you can enjoy the thrill in the movie. Also, you can find artistic beauty even in fear. This is the unique attraction of this movie.

Finally, this movie contains some grotesque content, so I can’t recommend it to people who are easily shocked. But I want people who are okay with violence to watch it because it’s very a interesting.
