Clarice Starling’s Lamb
I can’t count the number of times I watched The Silence of the Lambs since it came out in 1991 and never noticed Hannibal Lecter’s sketch of Clarice Starling holding a lamb. But this time, just now, there it is right in front of my face.
And there’s also a cool foreshadowing in this scene as well. When the guard’s looking for somewhere to place Lecter’s tray of food, he rolls up Lecter’s sketches and ─ BAM ─ there’s a copy of Bon Appetite magazine.
Heads up, guys, he’s going to eat someone’s face.
I flipped a coin ─ Movie Scene or Movie Villain? And Villain won. Not the first time for Anthony Hopkins ─ and it won’t be the last.
I’m America’s Best Crime Writer – Barry Bowe – & I approve this message.
My first book – Born to Be Wild – Published in 1992 – Still selling on Amazon & Kindle. A true story about certain members of the Warlocks motorcycle gang.
The story took 21 years to play out – many twists & turns – an amalgam of Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad – but these outlaw bikers make the Sons look like Cub Scouts.
