“The Silence of the Lambs” is a male-bashing pile of crap.
I have never seen that film, and I have no desire to see it. Sounds disgusting.
Also, I have always had a hunch that it was intended to make cannibalism seem a little less out of the mainstream, to help usher in other notions that are anathema to Western thinking.
Today’s movies, IMO, are usually made with an eye toward further weakening Judeo-Christian values, which is why I take in an average of 1 new film every 3 years.
I hated “Silence of the Lambs” too, and could never figure out why it is considered by so many to be a great movie. It just seemed phony all the way around.
If you want to see a great movie, I recommend “War Horse”-it’s the best movie I’ve seen in years. Excellent story, script, acting,— just wonderful, classic, storytelling.
