August 16, 2007Perfect. Beyond any other thriller, or drama, Silence of the Lambs shows us a masterminded man,that, being in a cage for the rest of his life, pretends to play with the minds of any other creature on his path. Its amazing how he uses it inteligence to reach his goals. Simply amazing how he explores the human mind. One of the Best Thriller, if not the best.
