I do wonder whether we're starting to take The Silence of the Lambs a bit for granted. I keep catching parts of it and the more I see it the more interested I am in Jodie Foster's acting. Also, Howard Shore's music is really good and fits the material and the tone very well.

I appreciate it more every time I watch it, there are very few films that achieve complete and utter perfection, but this is one of the few. Every performance, every shot, every camera angle, every note of music. The film is very faithful to the book, but its probably the only instance where Ive read/ seen both and absolutely prefer the film to the book.

One thing I don't understand about Silence of the Lambs, every time I watch it, is that it has a very made for TV look to it I feel. I know this might come as a surprise maybe, but it just looks like that to me, compared to other thriller of the same year, such as Terminator 2, or JFK or something in the thriller genre.
Silence just looks so soft or something like that. Does anyone else notice this?

I've always felt this film was overrated...Hopkins is brilliant, Foster was better in The Accused, but the film doesn't have a lot of re-watch appeal for me.

There is another question I have on The Silence of the Lambs after watching it again.
SPOILER
Near the end when Crawford and the FBI realized that they raided the wrong house, Crawford has this look on his face and says Clarice, as if he knows Clarice is in immediate danger and is going to die. How does he know this though? How does he know that Clarice is in grave danger of the killer at this time, especially since they have no idea where the killer lives?

But she wouldn't think that though, because when she arrives at the killer's house, she doesn't think it's him. It's not only till she already comes inside and she sees certain items in his house that clues her in. So she wouldn't have said to Crawford that she felt the killer was there, if she didn't know.
