I have watched Silence of the lambs a long time ago. This movie is a classic criminal and scary movie. I feel a little bit creepy at some scenes, such as Dr. Lecter mentioning he ate tester’s liver and he speaking with Clarice for the second time. I feel disgusting when it shows the scene of Buffalo Bill dancing in female skin and the corpse of his victim. I don’t have parts in the movie I couldn’t watch, but there are some part that is not so comfortable to watch. The most memorable aspect is the psychology aspect. The acting of both Dr. Lecter and Starling is brilliant, especially in the scene of them confronting. Starling looks so nervous and struggling, compared to Lecter’s calmness and enjoyment.
