The silence of the Lambs

             In the 1991 film, Silence of the Lambs produced by Jonathan Demme, there are visualizations of both repulsion and psychological acts shown to the audience. It also portrays a distinctive relationship between two very significant characters named Clarice Starling and Hannibal Lecter.
             A young FBI agent named Clarice Starling who is played by Jodie Foster is a trainee for the FBI academy. She is asked to partake in a journey to find a missing woman as well as trapping the psychopathic serial killer who is known as Buffalo Bill. Buffalo Bill is a man who is mostly bewildered by his own sexual identity which therefore drives him to commit the evil acts towards women who are mostly large in size. During this time, FBI agent named Jack Crawford asks Clarice Starling to talk to Hannibal Lecter who is played by Anthony Hopkins to help her with this case. Hannibal Lecter used to be a well respected psychiatrist until he has committed many murders which eventually led him to jail. .
             Clarice attempts to gain a better insight into the twisted mind of Hannibal Lecter by asking him what he knows of Buffalo Bill. However being a very powerful, and clever mind manipulator that Hannibal is, Clarice must first try and gain Lecter's confidence before he is to give away any information on his former patient Buffalo Bill. Clarice Starling eventually does a well job interacting with Hannibal Lecter and communicating with him. Her control of being able to unravel the mind games and tricks .
             .
             Lecter imposes on her eventually leads her closer to the finding of the victim as well as Buffalo Bill. .
             One of the most repeating moments I have found through this movie is that Clarice Starling and Hannibal Lecter both has numerous moments among themselves. .
             The relationship between Lecter and Starling was directly portrayed throughout the movie and was certainly there to be recognized by the viewers.
