“The Silence of the Lambs“

 

In honor of the recent passing of Jonathan Demme, we are replaying this episode of Book Vs. Movie.

In this episode of Book vs Movie the Margos talk about the Thomas Harris classic horror novel and the Oscar winning film by Jonathan Demme and Ted Tally.

We discuss the differences between the book & movie of “The Silence of the Lambs” and what we liked (and didn’t like.)

Highlights include:

The female characters featured in both and how they differ in the adaptation

How scared each Margo was while reading and watching them

On-set tidbits, news and gossip

How transgender people are treated in both

Women in peril themes

The awesomeness of Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster
