The Silence of the Lambs

Storyline

Young FBI agent Clarice Starling is assigned to help find a missing woman to save her from a psychopathic serial killer who skins his victims. Clarice attempts to gain a better insight into the twisted mind of the killer by talking to another psychopath Hannibal Lecter, who used to be a respected psychiatrist. FBI agent Jack Crawford believes that Lecter who is also a very powerful and clever mind manipulator have the answers to their questions to help locate the killer. Clarice must first try and gain Lecter's confidence before he is to give away any information. Written by Sami Al-Taher

I thought this film was absolutely brilliant. The storyline was magnificent and the way the
characters are presented using mise en scene and characteristics, had been used significantly.
Although Hannibal is supposedly a serial killer himself, I found myself becoming quite fond of his
 character and almost developing some sort of love for him, as he continued to help Clarice
throughout the film. After seeing this film, I plan to watch the next two following on from this film
as I am intrigued to find out how Hannibal became the way he is.
