Discussion - The Silence of the Lambs
View the film The Silence of the Lambs (1991) directed by Jonathan Demme. The film pits two very different serial killers against one another, with an FBI agent caught in the middle of their struggles for justice.
Answer questions below, your response should be at least a paragraph
1. The violent murders within the film are showcased and presented in strikingly different ways. Clarify and analyze the way that Jonathan Demme, the director of the film, depicts the kills from each of the serial killers.
2. Does this film argue or condone a particular type of violence, in order to apprehend one serial killer? Theorize a few ideas about why we, as an audience need closure in the Buffalo Bill case, but find no need to resolve Hannibal Lecter's escape?
3. Why does the film utilize Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) as its protagonist or hero? Does the film present gender here as an opportunity for viewers to see Hannibal Lecter as a savior character? How would the film have differed in form and content if the FBI protagonist was male? Show evidence from the film to support your claims.
