they hate it when you serve pale androgynous killer with a beautiful voice
So crazy that back in, like, 2017, one of the Screen Junkies argued that Silence of the Lambs could be improved by Nicolas Cage playing Buffalo Bill and then Longlegs happened and I- like, this is why I believe in God.
Yeah but here's the thing. Why would I re-traumatize myself with a new gruesome serial killer movie that makes me go "Wow, it's just like Silence of the Lambs!" every scene when I could just rewatch Silence of the Lambs?
Hey, is your mind boggled by Trump's constant yapping about Hannibal Lecter? Never seen Silence of the Lambs and are invested in the trainwreck of American politics? Well have no fear. In their most political post yet, a Canadian whose special interest is The Silence of the Lambs (aka me) breaks down Trump's misunderstanding and obsession with Hannibal Lecter.
Basically, we have three major points:
1) Hannibal is coming across the border because the border is weak. Hannibal is bad.
2) Hannibal is a great actor, now dead, he eats jerks, and one time, he said he liked Trump. Hannibal is good.
3) Hannibal is currently in America. Which is bad because every mentally ill person in America could be Hannibal. Hannibal is bad.
What Trump has not mentioned is the jerks Hannibal eats (this is important). Specifically, the version of Hannibal Trump is referring to is Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal in Silence of the Lambs. However, Trump has never said Hopkins' name, just the name of the movie movie. He knows it's a movie but somehow has not ever acknowledged that Hannibal is fictional, implying that a) he thinks everyone knows the name of the actor who played the Hannibal he's talking about (only in a perfect world, D-man) or b) he thinks Anthony Hopkins is Hannibal Lecter (soooo who does he think Mads Mikkelsen is? my mother asks).
Trump is clearly trying to make a metaphor with points 1 and 3. People like Hannibal, not Hannibal himself, are stalking America: immigrants and mentally ill people, sometimes both which is the scariest of all and which Hannibal canonically is.
