"The Silent Lamb" is a classic that has profoundly reflected the problems of social crime in the United States since the 1990s. The film story inherits the tradition of Hollywood horror films, but the film's narrative method has broken through the horror film mode. It is quite ingenious to combine horror films and detective films into one. Although the film’s scene setting is dominated by a closed indoor environment and lacks fierce and popular action, the use of Hitchcock’s suspense technique and modern horror film psychological analysis makes the plot of the whole film confusing and confusing. The audience introduces a symbolic world of human subconsciousness. The film attempts to explore the roots of contemporary American social horror by exploring the psychological problems of the characters. This deepens the theme of the film and embodies the strategy of Hollywood literature ().

An ordinary crime suspense film. It's quite satisfactory and can be described as "Mediocre". I don't know why the evaluation is so high. Maybe it’s because there were few such films in that era. People have never seen anything in the world. They get excited when they see something. They think that eating an orange is already the ultimate in the fruit world, but they don’t know that there are lychees in this world. Strawberry kiwi. The eerie horror of Hopkins's chanting is indeed impressive. 5 points, no more.
The Silence of the Lambs quotes

Hannibal Lecter: [shouts] No!
[normal voice]
Hannibal Lecter: I will listen now. After your father's murder, you were orphaned. You were ten years old. You went to live with cousins on a sheep and horse ranch in Montana. And...?
Clarice Starling: [tears begin forming in her eyes] And one morning, I just ran away.
Hannibal Lecter: No "just", Clarice. What set you off? You started at what time?
Clarice Starling: Early, still dark.
Hannibal Lecter: Then something woke you, didn't it? Was it a dream? What was it?
Clarice Starling: I heard a strange noise.
Hannibal Lecter: What was it?
Clarice Starling: It was... screaming. Some kind of screaming, like a child's voice.
Hannibal Lecter: What did you do?
Clarice Starling: I went downstairs, outside. I crept up into the barn. I was so scared to look inside, but I had to.
Hannibal Lecter: And what did you see, Clarice? What did you see?
Clarice Starling: Lambs. The lambs were screaming.
Hannibal Lecter: They were slaughtering the spring lambs?
Clarice Starling: And they were screaming.
Hannibal Lecter: And you ran away?
Clarice Starling: No. First I tried to free them. I... I opened the gate to their pen, but they wouldn't run. They just stood there, confused. They wouldn't run.
Hannibal Lecter: But you could and you did, didn't you?
Clarice Starling: Yes. I took one lamb, and I ran away as fast as I could.
Hannibal Lecter: Where were you going, Clarice?
Clarice Starling: I don't know. I didn't have any food, any water and it was very cold, very cold. I thought, I thought if I could save just one, but... he was so heavy. So heavy. I didn't get more than a few miles when the sheriff's car picked me up. The rancher was so angry he sent me to live at the Lutheran orphanage in Bozeman. I never saw the ranch again.
Hannibal Lecter: What became of your lamb, Clarice?
Clarice Starling: They killed him.
