Amused, confused and moved, in no particular order.
Its effect nebulous but damn persistent. Existential?
And I know it’s been quoted a lot over the decades, but that’s neither here nor there:
Rosencrantz: Did you ever think of yourself as actually dead, lying in a box with a lid on it?
Guildenstern: No.
Rosencrantz: Nor do I, really. It's silly to be depressed by it. I mean, one thinks of it like being alive in a box. One keeps forgetting…
I mean I know I’m repeating the general consensus when I say this is a very good film but…it is.
And when Clarice speaks to Hannibal in his square cage but the angle of the shots are such that it is her who is behind the prison bars, not him?!?! Very nice work indeed
It’s really, subjectively (objectively) not that great of a film and a bit self-indulgent. But Hugh Grant made me laugh.
A really sweet movie! And a great example of how a story (that I should say was pretty decent) can be made 10x better by great acting.
It also has about half the British acting population in it, so is a great game of “Oh! That’s []” “God, don’t they look young?”
