ffff fff ffff..........
this film received 5 Acadmey awards and if your one of those people that
aint seen and I would be surprised - its about a cool and collected
FBI agent ( Jodie Foster) who thinks she can
beat a serial killer to his next kill with the help of an imprisoned killer
who did it better.
Hannibal Lecter (Anthony
Hopkins) is based on a real life killer called Albert Fish.....ffff....ffff....
Fish had apparently become intrigued by the taste of meat by friends who
at had been in china at the end of the 19th century - where food
had become so hard to come by that children under tha age of 12 were
often sold for food. On returned to N.York Fishes friend had stole 2 boys
age 7 and 11 and boiled , broiled, fried and stewed them, the one with
the fattest ass first. That night as his friends child sat his lap, he
decided to eat her... he took her to a disused house , choked her
to death, cut her into small pieces, cooked and ate her. It took him 9
days to eat the whole body. A frail looking man it seemed unlikely he would
ever do such a thing. But little of the actual evidence was printed in
the newspapers.
Some of the details from papers
at the time.
