In the search for a dangerous serial killer named "Buffalo Bill" the FBI is desperately searching for answers to find this man. They start asking captured serial killers to help to identify the man. Many of them took the survey to help. However, one man refused to take the survey. His name is Hannibal Lecter, better known as Hannibal the Cannibal. This psychiatrist turn serial killer will not help with the investigation. That is when Clarice Starling is sent in to try and get Hannibal to talk. To everyone's surprise he does talk. This starts a roller coaster ride to trying to catch Buffalo Bill and to keep Hannibal Lecter locked up where he belongs.
Silence of the Lambs is a very special film. It's the only movie this is classified as Horror to ever win Best Picture at the Academy Awards. It's one of three in the horror category to every be nominated for Best Picture. The other unique trait of this movie is that it is one of only Three Pictures to take home all five of the biggest awards at the Oscars: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay. The other Films that have done this feat in the 89 year history are It Happened One Night and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The 64th Academy Awards were special in their own way as well. It marked the first time the an animated movie was nominated for Best Picture and it was Disney's Beauty and the Beast. The other three movies that Orion had to beat out to take home the Best Picture Award are: Tristars' Bugsy; Warner Brother's JFK; and Columbia's The Prince of Tides.
I will say this about Silence of the Lambs... I will NEVER watch this movie again. I think I have mention before that I hate, loath, and despise scary and horror films. So, I will never be seeing this film again. Now despite the fact that this film was not something I will watch again it was a very interesting film. I can totally see why is won best picture and why everyone won the Best everything. I was very impressed and saw why it was/is very popular. However, never again!
