The Silence of the Lambs is a 1991 American crime thriller
that is directed by Jonathan Demme, it is also considered a very good thriller
movie. A young F.B.I agent called Clarice is given the task of locating a
missing woman who is in danger of being attacked by a dangerous serial killer
who skins his victims. To gain a better insight into this psychopathic criminal
she tries to acquire help from an already imprisoned serial killer known as
Hannibal Lecter. She believes this man is extremely clever, powerful and
helpful in finding this other criminal so she tries to gain his trust, in order
for Hannibal to give away the information that she needs.

| The Silence of the Lambs - 1991 |
The budget for the
movie was $19,000,000 and they obviously used this well because the movie
grossed an amazing total of $130,742,922. The reason this movie proved to be so
successful is possibly the great portrayal of Hannibal by Anthony Hopkins. Or
it might be the story which can really grab our attention due to its realism
and realisation that this is possible, and the serial killer could reach us. So
we want to see the detective actually find this criminal, bring him to justice
and possibly reward Lecter. The unnatural bond that the F.B.I agent has with
Lecter also intrigues us resulting in us (the viewers) wanting to see more and
what might happen due to Lecter’s shady and dark past, he is clever and could
be leading the detective on.
