kitarina -> Absolutely Captivated by a Movie (5/16/2008 3:18:06 AM)
|
Okay so last night I was channel surfing, It was about 3am so nothing was really on. Then I noticed a movie on TNT. Silence of the Lambs. Now being only 23 I had never seen the movie before nor any of the other Hannibal Lecter movies. But I had heard many people speaking of it in the past. Intrigued by the opprotunity, I settled in to see what all the fuss was about, expecting your average run of the mill slash em up blood and gore flicks i generally watch for lack of something better to do. At first it seemed my suspicions were correct as the plot seemed to take a rather predictable outline. Then as the story progressed, I found the plot utterly captivating.
Instead of the usual 3 hour slash and gore fest, I discovered a VERY well written and laid out plot. It took so many unexpected twists and turns. I had expected Hannibal Lecter to be your typical murderous psychopath along the same lines as Freddy, Jason, etc. Instead I found myself glued to my seat, positively fascinated with the sheer brilliance and genius of that man's intellectual prowess and cunning.
Insane, Most definitely. But he had so much more DEPTH to the character than most other horror film personages. Innately polite, courteous, and in his own way, helpful.
If you have not had the pleasure of viewing this most WONDERFULLY put together film I highly recommend that you do! Otherwise I daresay you will be missing out on a marvelous masterpiece and in short, a real treat.
Thoughts and opinions are welcomed.
Until next time I remain ever faithfully yours in correspondence,
Yours Truly,
kita
