I think part of what makes the dread of the film so real is the relationship foil between Bill and Brooke Smith, as Catherine Martin, and Dr Lecter and Agent Starling. It is all a bit unbelievable, but thankfully you are too engrossed to really think about it. One of the weaker parts of the film is the sort of absurd mechanics of the Dr's final scenes and Starling and Bill's final showdown. Buffalo Bill is also a solid creeper villain. Jodie Foster's timid, yet controlled and paradoxically brave, handling of her character was flawless at elevating the entire film. While Hopkins is a dominate force, it takes a very strong actor to be remembered in these scenes. Her angst, un-ease and the domineering way the men she interacts with treat her, adds a sense of dread and powerlessness that helps define the film. Jodie Foster also does an impeccable job. I have little doubt the film may have failed without his brilliant grasp and delivery on the character. The film takes big risks and manages to succeed on almost every front.Ī brilliant psychological film with simply superb performances. A horror/thriller with the dramatic and psychological gravitas to stand among the greatest films ever made. ![]() ![]() ![]() But no amount of brute force can show Jericho how to scale the walls of a psychopath’s heart.

The article explores Darwyn Cooke's 2004 comic DC: The New Frontier as a retrospective history for DC's comic book characters of the 1950s though this history takes into account certain problematic aspects of 1950s American cul-ture-in particular the problem of racism and fear of the minoritized other-the comic does not in any way produce a critique of normative American masculinity. ![]() ![]() ![]() And these are not just ordinary people but supernatural beings.
