"The Silence of the Lambs" is a classic of the thriller genre. A cult film that has entered the history of cinema. A masterpiece performed by Anthony Hopkins. The film is based on the book of the same name by Thomas Harris (Harris, 1988). Although it was filmed in 1991, it remains one of the best psychological thrillers ever made. Jonathan Demme's film goes beyond the classic framework of the genre, playing with the spectator's intellect and with associations. The film surprises, however, even predictability becomes attractive: predictable places, characters and events. Demme's film is in my opinion a great detective film, with many derivations, many of them thriller and with a lot of unusual psychological content. Rarely do we find such well-drawn characters, such a frightening and fascinating aspect of evil in contemporary cinema. What or who is evil? The simple answer might be a Cannibal Lecter character. Cold and calculating, frightening in his calm and composure. Aesthete, an art connoisseur painted pictures, creating a gallery in his cell. An innocent face, calm gestures and a penetrating smile. Cannibal is a psychologist. From the smallest visible gesture or unnatural-sounding words, he is able to correctly read desires, fears and ambitions. The quality of the perfume, the bag, the type of clothing suggests who you are dealing with. Confidence appears as an external sign of insecurity, of immaturity buried under the excuse of seriousness. Fear is its source somewhere deep in the unconscious reality belonging to the child. Cannibal reads people, staring them down with Agent Starling. This kind of evil tortures another human being with the truth, affects his consciousness and memory. Lecter forces Clarice to confess, acts...... in the middle of a sheet of paper......, staring into the eyes of an evil demon and doesn't need to openly ask "Who are you?". The answer does not come easily, because cutting through the thicket of meaning is extremely difficult. There is still a Hannibal Lecter game, it is a kind of innocence that contrasts with the murderous instinct of filling every part of human life. Refinement is the means in the intellectual sense Lecetera.
