Anthony Hopkins I love you! Everything you do I love! As the genius madman/ cannibal Hannibal Lecter, Hopkins was damn brilliant. It is also further proof that the man can be evil and you still have to love him. He was on screen for no longer than ten minutes and he won the oscar. And who could forget his big line. “ A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti..apffffffffff.” (The sound effects and face are much more menacing I promise.)Further I think this is my favorite Jodie Foster movie, she is a very convincing driven cop who wants to prove her worth more than anything else and as a near an equal as can be to Lecter. I saw this movie when I was fourteen for the first time and I wont lie, I was quite taken, never had I seen a thriller this brilliantly adapted, I decided to read the book , and dear blog afficionado, I was not disappointed! To this day it is one of my favorite trilogy's both in film and book, following on the heels of LOTR. I know it isn't the movie for the faint or weak of stoamch, but I dare anyone to watch and not like it.
