What did this Clarice ever do to you?Īrthur: Well, she didn’t save us from being slaughtered and eaten so as far as we’re concerned she’s a token representative of the entire meat eating part of the human race and she shoulda tried harder. Lambs : No, you have to go baaa! It’s for Silence of the Lambs, not Silence of the Cows.Īrthur: Clarice Starling up there in that bedroom. Lambs : Baa! Baa! Poor white trashhhhh! Baa! Trashhhhh! Baa!ĭaisy (a Quebecois cow with a slight French accent) : What are you all doing?Īrthur (a helpful lamb): We’re implanting a primal memory! Baa! Poor white trashhhh! It’s fun! We’ll be right back after this short break. That doesn’t make it bad, but it does make it disingenuous. This is a movie which pretends to be from the gritty end of American reality but which is as absurd and fantastical as Me Before You or La La Land. It falls apart when you take a minute to consider what the movie is about, what it does, and what reality it’s reflecting, rather than what great performances, what cool cinematography, and so forth. ( The Maltese Falcon would be another example). This is one of those movies which have such an impact that it’s surprising when they just fall apart on you. ![]()
