What Is The Silence Of The Lambs?

With the amount of imagery included in this book it would be heard not to be terrified by what is going on. McCarthy deeply explains everything and henceforth we feel the fear that the boy and man do. It is like we are there with them and that is some place no one wants to experience. Throughout the novel, the imagery caused many emotions such as surprise and disgust to arise due to how gruesome it was and how terrifying parts were. One terrifying thing is the cannibalism in the book. It’s highly disgusting and makes me want to cringe. It was an extremely disturbing scene when McCarthy explains what the boy is seeing: “What the boy had seen was a charred human infant headless and gutted and blackening on the spit”(198). This one sentence alone makes me nauseous which is how the book is successfully

The fantasy part of the film in my opinion is the best aspect of the

Sleepless in Seattle is one of the most unforgettable and popular romantic comedies ever put on film. The film is always entertaining no matter how many

Looking for something unique and unforgettable? The Hunter is the one. It has a great meaning behind the story and great visual affects. This film has a very adventurous feel to it, which keeps the attention of the audience. I would definitely recommend this movie to my peers and anyone interested in the hunting community because, the movie represents the key skills to become a great hunter such as scouting, tracking, and patients.

Throughout my four years at Magruder High School many different books, songs, and films have challenged the way I think about things and shaped my perspective. One of many books this year that left quite an immense impression on me was The Things they Carried by Tim O’Brien. This book is a collection of short stories by Tim O'Brien, about a platoon of American soldiers in the Vietnam War. The story follows young Tim O’Brien throughout his experiences as a soldier in Vietnam. One film that probably had the same impression on me as The Things they Carried was a film called Beast of No Nation. Beast of No Nation starring the iconic Idris Elba follows a young Agu as a civil war breaks out into his village, and is forced to escape corrupt government forces after seeing his dad and brother shot point blank and join a resistance group comprised of mostly child soldiers.

The movie was so very deeply disturbing; and that is the greatest complement I can give it.

Thirdly, “The Act of Hearts” was one to be watched. This movie was about a secret society who holds a meeting. While in this meeting, they decide that a very powerful man needs to die. These men named Farallone and Forrest are in love with this girl named Lilith. She wants nothing to do with them. A second meeting occurs, in which cards are drawn. Forrest is given the act of hearts, which causes Lilith to show interest in him. This movie was the best one of the

A fair claim can be made on human nature that humans tend to crave the unknown, even if they are afraid of it. People still watch to the end of horror movies even though they know they will regret it shortly after. Often times these films or even TV shows leave a lasting impact on a person emotionally, an impact that can stay with someone way after the two hour movie is complete. Us as humans like to believe that we are stronger than the film and it is simply just acting but often times that is not the case. In films similar to Nightmare on Elm Street, Child’s Play, Cabin in the Wood, and The Exorcist, the audience is suppose to receive a reaction that is almost suppose to haunt them. It is no surprise that horror movies are not meant to watch alone because it can and will patronize a person. Viewer’s discretion is often advised and should be taken into consideration before pressing play on any frightful motion picture. A person can be truly be effected by a movie to the point of insanity and great fear.

In this movie when it opened, the story was strong with good audio and suspense. The characters start by running from men on horses with dogs and guns chasing them. It makes the watcher wonder why the two men are being chased. After the strong intro into the film the plot keeps on going into the wonderful well done movie that is “Of Mice And Men” The soundtrack went well along with the mood and expressed how the characters were feeling. The images from this movie were just incredible. Before many scenes there would be a zoomed out shot of the setting or a zoomed in shot on a character's face. The director did an incredible job of capturing the characters and the place they were in all throughout the movie. After the opening scenes into the

The film is highly praised by many of the top movie reviewers. Having never seen a foreign language film prior to this course, it was definitely tough to narrow down my choices. The first step was to look through the list of award winning films. From there,

I reviewed Lady in White last Halloween and everything I wrote about the film back then still stands today.

Phenomenal Acting and a jaw dropping storyline are the foremost reasons why The Departed is by all means a spectacular movie. This film will go down as one of the best crime thrillers of the 21th century. Many viewers of this movie will find themselves astonished as the storyline roller-coaster’s around making twists and turns never expected. Some may question the vulgar language and intense violence but if you are a person who’s easily offended, simply do

The Silence of The Lambs is a 1991 horror film directed by Jonathan Demme. It revolves around a rookie FBI Agent Clarice Starling and her quest to find the mysterious serial killer Buffullo Bill. With the help and manipulation of a cannibal psychitrist, Dr Hannibal Lecter, Starling is able to understand the mystery surronding Buffolo Bill. I must start by saying that this was truly an excellent film and I would give it a 4.5 out of a rating of 5. The intense and eerie music used really helped to establish the classic horror genre. However, this film wouldnt have been half as good without Antony Hopkins playing the infamous Dr Hannibal lecter. Hopkins plays the psychotic cannibal with so much flair and charisma that you would for root and symphatise

On the other, it has sustained instances of a horror movie. The healthy sprinkling of undesirable creepy faces, Cup-a-Soup, ominous tomcats and close ups of hooded creatures do not do anything to alleviate the plot. The brash background score by Roque Baños is a rather corny and unsubtle affair. The few flourishes of psychological thrill in the movie are purely visual.

There is definitely something in this film for everyone. Even if you can't bear to watch the violence, which is so predominant throughout the movie, there is a lot of emotion, action and even horror that will keep any audience gripped. In this film Gibson uses the devil in the form of a person and he shows us how man is tempted by evil which results in jumps and frights better than most horror films out these days.
