are you kidding me ? oh..... is that good

Rating: 9/10 (30 August 2011)

what hasn't been said about this .. this surprise of a hit? Except maybe my personal experience.
Looking back, gotta tell you when I was in the theatre for this, I wasn't ready for the depth of the dialogue. And that's a hit against it's original power. Like in one of the main exchanges, when Jodie utter Scream of the lambs - did I hear it right? While at this scene, a current day film(even possibility back then) might have choose to flashback --> and ruin the tension.
Ther are many counterintuitive choices : the music that is ominous classical; the quiet interpretation by Hopkins; Foster plays the vulernabitity up as central character; the 2 villains. And don't think there was any real chase scenes.
So when I saw it again later, awake and aware, it was like watching another movie almost.
And how is that a remaster blu ray is not out for this???
