good movie, but it glorifies a serial killer!

Rating: 7/10 (12 October 1998)

The Silence of The Lambs has many things going for it: superb acting, cinematography, music, direction, and a tension-filled script, but I really have a problem in that it indirectly glorifies a serial killer. Hannibal Lecter has practically become a cultural icon, which I think speaks ill for the direction our society has taken, when a cannibalistic monster has the brains and the guts we admire (no pun intended).
