I must say that I was fascinated with this film. Just felt sorry for one thing: not having seen it sooner.

Inspired by actual cases of psychopathy, such as Ed Gein and Albert Fish, Hannibal Lecter (one of the most remarkable characters of all time) appeared in the literature for the first time in 1981, the novel "Red Dragon" by Tom Harris.

The film tells the story of a cop FBI trainee, Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster). She is one of the best in his field and is always featured in several segments of the organization.

Worthy of an Oscar, "The Silence of the Lambs" has many shocking scenes. You realize that this was the intention of the filmmaker Jonathan Demme. He wanted to shock, but not frustrate your viewers. In the scene where Dr. Lecter attacks a police officer, for example, is quite strong, but there is an enigma behind it, which would prove right after this attack cannibal. Simply amazing!

With a sensational script, a competent cast and great skill in driving the narrative, "The Silence of the Lambs" is established as an above average thriller, intense and electrifying. Additionally, introduced the world to one of the most iconic movie characters, the psychopathic brilliantly played by Anthony Hopkins, who inspired new movies and marked a whole generation.

Hopkins, when asked in an interview on FOX's Dr. Lecter never blink said: "The main thing is to be penetrating the Lecter ... he is penetrating ... he has a strong mind, he is evasive. In the interrogation scene with Clarice, the scene of his cell, he investigates and never lose control over it. Investigate all the time. Therefore it is pervasive. "
