The Silence of the Lambs is a classic, and went on to win five Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actor (Anthony Hopkins), Best Actress (Jodie Foster), Best Director (Jonathan Demme), and Best Adapted Screenplay (Ted Tally).

One of the most crucial scenes in the movie is when Hopkins’ Dr. Hannibal Lecter and Foster’s Clarice Starling meet for the very first time. It’s an all-time great scene. But who walked away from that scene with the upper hand?

A new video breaks down the scene, and reveals who in fact “won” that first meeting, so to speak. You can check it out below.

The video comes from the Every Frame a Painting YouTube channel. If you’re into filmmaking it’s one of the very best channels you can subscribe to, with insightful examinations of the works of Michael Bay, Robin Williams, and many more. Truly fascinating videos to watch.
