"The Silence of the Lambs" is a great film for its time. It has Clarice Starling as an FBI agent trying to get help from an incarcerated manipulative killer named Dr. Hannibal Lecter, played by Anthony Hopkins. Sterling is a very strong young woman but Lecter gets inside of her head and almost controls her. Although, she needs his help to take down a killer called Buffalo Bill.
This film is so great mainly because of the acting. Jodie Foster is spectacular in her performance. She has been one of the best actresses of our time mainly because of her role as Clarice Starling. She deserved her oscar for this role. Also, Anthony Hopkins has the role of his lifetime. He was in this film for no more than twenty minutes but his role in this film was so chilling and frightening. It made this film so good and probably why it won Best Picture. The other Hannibal Lecter are also terrifying but none of them were as good as the original. This film was so chilling, revolutionary, and frightening it deserves a lot more recognition. Go see it!
