On Day one of this long weekend, I got most content with a move for the first time in a long time: The Silence of the Lambs.
Everyone has a story that motivates you to do something, good or bad. It can usually be buried under your unconsciousness. But once you discover it, you can act effectively toward your end. I thought that is the main message of the movie.
For an FBI Academy student Clarice Starling, it is a story when she ran away from her relative's house. She has lost her father who was a police commissioner from a duty, and as her mother had been also gone, Clarice was sent to her aunt's in a farm. There young lambs were screaming when they were being killed. She could not stand that and ran away by managing to take one lamb. But then a local official caught her and the lamb ended up being killed, too.
That made a deep impression underlying her motive to become an FBI agent -- to save those who were on the verge of being killed, just like keeping the lambs silent.
The irony is that the person who made Clarice notice that, Dr. Lector, the cannibal ex-psychiatrist, is still on the run, wanted by the FBI. He would probably have his own unique story that has led him to eat human meat.
Each acting has a taste. It is one of the rare, classy movies that you'll love!
