You know what you look like to me with your good bag and your cheap shoes, you look like a rube, yes a well scrubbed hustlin rube, with little taste.. Good nutrition has given you some lenth of bone, but you're not one more from that poor generation of white trash, are you agent starling? And that accent that you've tried so desperately to shed, pure west virginia. what was your father, dear, was he a coal miner? Did he stink of the lamp? we all know how quickly the boys found you lol
I don't like how it showed her eyebrow go up at the end of the video, it's implies that she was going to respond with something insanely clever and that she didn't nearly cry while trying to smart off at him ..
What's so amazing about Lecter, he could intimidate with his words and nothing else. Anthony Hopkins is NOT a scary dude at all, but the way he speaks, it just makes it so believable, he doesn't need a weapon or even a scary looking face. He's just so smart, and that is what's scary.
The Silence of The Lambs was brillant and Red Dragon was a worthy addition, but Hannibal wasn't worthy. And Ridley Scott is to blame. That man breeds bad movies with occasional good ones like Alien.
@wtfidonthaveaname I know that, but when it comes to movies Red Dragon was an "addition" to the Hannibal Lecter films because it was made into a movie later.
@ProRanting They did actually make the book "Red Dragon" in the early 80's called Manhunter, and it has a few phenomenal songs by Red7 and Shriekback too....
Ridley Scott is actually a great director and I liked Hannibal. It was well directed, written, acted and shot. It was better than Red Dragon. but not by much. Scott directed classics like Matchstick Men, Gladiator, Blade Runner and one of my all time favorites, Thelma & Louise. However, I hated Black Hawk Down.
@thelupoistheman1 Hannibal was laughable. Where it tried to be scary it became funny and it was a real shame because Anthony Hopkin's acting is still top notch through the movie. I liked Body of Lies, but Ridley Scott isn't that great.
@ProRanting hannibal was good it's just not as good as silence of the lambs and critics hated that. Plus the acting in it's good by everybody except ray liota (or however you spell that) he screwed it up with his stupid dialogue.
Notice, as much as Lecter detests vulgarity he himself uses as a tool to provoke other people, in the form of obscene remarks and gestures. Mmm....but then, he must've been awful cranky in that damn cell with no booze and no cigarettes.
Its really too bad how all the other Hannibal movies weren't nearly as good as this one was. Red Dragon was alright but was nowhere near how goos Silence of the Lambs was.
@duffmanofmusic If they hadn't totally screwed up the ending of "Hannibal" and kept Jody Foster as Starling, it would have been brilliant. It was still good, but no where what it could have been.
@kattwoman17 yeah but in Hannibal the writing wasn't as smart and on edge as it was in Silence of the Lambs. you began to hate lector instead of admiring his brilliance.
That's because the book it was based on was crap. Thomas Harris ran out of good material, and got stupid and cliche in his eagerness to bring Hannibal and Clarice together. Right, because Lecter would risk his safety for Clarice, and Clarice would betray her deep sense of justice and help Hannibal hide, before running off with him and taking part in his cannibalistic lifestyle. Come on.
@Drac39 The only way he could have done this character is by being over the top. Lector wasn't your average-joe. He was a excentric genius who was a master with words and consumed human flesh.
I'm glad this movie beat the crap out of Beauty and the Beast for Best Picture! Hannibal is far better villain than Gaston! Clarice is a better Heroine than Belle! Buffulo Bill would skin The Beast's fur and Belle's skin! And if Gaston ever deals with Hannibal, Hannibal would eat him and The Beast if foight him on the castle!
This scene reminds me why Hannibal Lecter is the most terrifying villain ever committed to celluloid. Lecter is the only villain who I'd call a monster.
god, he's so fkn attractive. i gotta go out and read the books after seeing the film. i know they're different in so many ways, but i need my hannibal fix.
@jimifan199214 if you appreciate good monologues, type "edward norton - fuck you" in the search bar, its a 5 minute monologue from a film called 25th hour. highly controversial speech but brilliantly performed.
@gwa56. your right. you should watch the original to red dragon called man hunter. it was made in the 80s with the first appearence of Hanibal Lector except it was played by Brian Cox whos a very good actor in his own right although just can't compare to Anthony Hopkins in this role.
@udistritalextrema yes also Jack but in this part no one can be compared to him...i just said that if i want to compare his career...Anthony Hopkins is the best also
Perfect acting by Anthony Hopkins! The voice, the eyes and just about everything else about him is so intense and believable. Just like a real sociopath, not like some other actors who portray these kind of characters as utterly crazy, overly aggresive or goofy. He portrays the character as a real person with just a little bit of a scary edge. He's right up there with Anthony Perkins' Norman Bates and Christian Bales' Patrick Bateman. He really deserved the oscar (unlike some other actors!).
Check out Jack Donaghey's version of this while he's playing poker with Kenneth the page on 30 Rock.
It's even funnier, which I wouldn't have thought possible. But then, Alec Baldwin is hamming it up intentionally, not just because he has no clue how else to play it.
this is well done but it was better in the book hannibal didn't really show emotion or enjoyment in hurting her and it was done more casually and less rudely after clarice implied he was crazy
@ZigZagRunner She was also a stronger character in the book. When he pointed out her cheap shoes, she didn;t just sit there and take it, she replied, "Well, someday I hope the shoes will catch up with the bag."
@kattwoman17 yeah, less dorothy in wonderland but he made it more difficult after that lol, tryin to find manhunter but its friggin rare as and i don't trust the internet with my money brian cox done a good job with it too probs closer to the book on youtube somewhere if your that interested in the character
Is there a formal term for this level of deductive reasoning? He can tell so much about her simply by looking at her. The same thing happened in the Sherlock Holmes movie when he is at the restaurant.
i wish i was able to do that.. i could freak anybody out xD probably also good for picking up chicks. every female comment in here is always about how hot this old man is, impressive! quess intelligence matters
@Gearslover01 yer its a submissive thing. I have no doubt she planned to do this in the film. Goin deep into body language its theorized that showing vulnerability (the neck) shows a willingness to be protected, which has evolved into showing submissiveness
@DictatorRoB Because, Clarece is being stereotyped and reliving her past, remembering those old memories of her fathers death. She was on the verge of crying (and she did), I don't know about you, but when I cry or am about to, my chin tremebles and twitches like hers.
@DictatorRoB Yeah, but he also mocks her father, stereotyping her father aswell asking if he was a coal miner or smell of olean. She then remembered her father again, i.e., the flashback scene two minutes after this one.
A brilliant script made even better by Hopkin's under-stated performance as he leads us towards the F B...I. A master class. One watch it again and again.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i wonder how bad this scene would be without the dramatics of the music, how bad is Anthony Hopkins from 0.47 onward, "the backs seat of CARS", "GET IT ANYWHERE", ALL THE WAY TO THE F.B.I hahahahahaha so Corny
When the SWAT team(?) goes up to the 2nd floor to Hannibals cage--every cop has his finger on the trigger--(standard sub-standard training).Good old HL escapes through another fine police force.
"good nutrition's given you some length OF bone"- Starling has benefited from good nutrition, longer bone structure, unlike her malnourished ancestors.
"all those tedious sticky fumblings in the backseats of cars" -having inexperienced and unsophisticated first encounters with boys.
Ok , thanks for the explanation. No web dictionary gave me definitions of fumblings or sticky fumblings that made sense. :s I assumed it was a dirty stuff :p
The perceptive Dr. Lecter sees that Agent Starling is rising out of poverty and has likely had a few experiences with boys in the back seats of cars with boys. That is--sex.
Anthony Hopkins is the only one who could have played the part of Hannibal Lecter can't wait to see the new movie he is going to be in, Wolfman (or something like that).
It's not. The joker is all about anarchy...lecter doesn't care. He finds a weakness and exploits it, like me looking for a crack, finding it, grabbing hold and ripping it apart.
@anonymousLeroy I agree that Lecter looks for a weakness and exploits it. Absolutely agree....so what's the Joker's weakness? And I've been a fan of Joker since I was a kid! And hell I don't really know! So Joker would laugh at Hannibal's attempts and regail him with tales of how he recieved his scars
@anonymousLeroy I agree with Stryder687, the Joker is practically a masochist, I doupt very much that hannibal could break him with mere words let alone anything else.
@ktto11 Two very different types of Psychopaths, I personally like the Joker more because he is evil for no particular reason at all. But Hannibal is pretty cool too.
If you compare this to the later films, there's something different here. Hopkins is younger and more physically threatening, but even in his acting...there's an edge, a sort of viciousness to the way he says his lines that isn't in the later Hannibal movies. He says "poor white trash" with that mock accent, you can feel the genuine hatred inside him.
@EGarrett01 I guess you've never met an investment banker from Barclays. You could pull up in an Aston Martin, wearing a $5000 Anderson & Sheppard suit, and he'll still talk shit about your shoes and tie, call you trash, spit in your face... like Indeed~~Indubitably~~ Haters of epic serial killer proportions.
there's no contradiction. He's "rude" because he feels insulted that someone like her has the nerve to try to get into his brain. listen to the beginning of the video. "you think you can dissect me with this blunt little tool?"
c'mon man, i thought you actually watched the video.
I ate his liver with a side of fava beans...

"tedious sticky fumblings"
The perceptive Dr. Lecter sees that Agent Starling is rising out of poverty and has likely had a few experiences with boys in the back seats of cars with boys. That is--sex.

Anthony Hopkins is the only one who could have played the part of Hannibal Lecter can't wait to see the new movie he is going to be in, Wolfman (or something like that).

What would they talk about? :)

Lecter is a brilliant psychiatrist turned murderous sociopath, whereas the Joker is a thuggish criminal turned sociopath (or possibly psychopath).

@ktto11 Hannibal would kill him. He would disapprove of him

@ktto11 not very much I assume. Lecter is far too sophisticated. To him, the Joker is probably just a sick criminal.

Lecter would have the joker shitting his pants, then he would make the joker eat his own shit. And this would be done only using words.

It's not. The joker is all about anarchy...lecter doesn't care. He finds a weakness and exploits it, like me looking for a crack, finding it, grabbing hold and ripping it apart.
anonymousLeroy 1 year ago
@anonymousLeroy I agree that Lecter looks for a weakness and exploits it. Absolutely agree....so what's the Joker's weakness? And I've been a fan of Joker since I was a kid! And hell I don't really know! So Joker would laugh at Hannibal's attempts and regail him with tales of how he recieved his scars

@Stryder687 The Joker's weakness is his compulsive need to make Batman laugh.

@anonymousLeroy I agree with Stryder687, the Joker is practically a masochist, I doupt very much that hannibal could break him with mere words let alone anything else.

@ktto11 Two very different types of Psychopaths, I personally like the Joker more because he is evil for no particular reason at all. But Hannibal is pretty cool too.

If you compare this to the later films, there's something different here. Hopkins is younger and more physically threatening, but even in his acting...there's an edge, a sort of viciousness to the way he says his lines that isn't in the later Hannibal movies. He says "poor white trash" with that mock accent, you can feel the genuine hatred inside him.
Wow.
EGarrett01 2 years ago 3
He keeps that southern accent in the whole speech: intentionally mocking.
This is his chance to intimidate and
belittle the federal agent, the woman,
whose investigation brings her to him.
Hopkins put contained malevolence
over in this performance. Hannibal
Lecter one of the scariest screen
villains IMO.

@EGarrett01 I guess you've never met an investment banker from Barclays. You could pull up in an Aston Martin, wearing a $5000 Anderson & Sheppard suit, and he'll still talk shit about your shoes and tie, call you trash, spit in your face... like Indeed~~Indubitably~~ Haters of epic serial killer proportions.

I thought he didn't like rude people? Such a contradiction in the script here...
WhoisJacqueFresco 2 years ago
there's no contradiction. He's "rude" because he feels insulted that someone like her has the nerve to try to get into his brain. listen to the beginning of the video. "you think you can dissect me with this blunt little tool?"
c'mon man, i thought you actually watched the video.
