Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Dir.Jonathan Demme

A young F.B.I. cadet must receive the help of an incarcerated and manipulative cannibal killer to help catch another serial killer, a madman who skins his victims.

*(at around 17 mins) Jodie Foster claims that during the first meeting between Dr. Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling, Sir Anthony Hopkins's mocking of her southern accent was improvised on the spot. Foster's horrified reaction was genuine since she felt personally attacked. She later thanked Hopkins for generating such an honest reaction.

whenever you find yourself baffled, even enraged, by who the Academy rewards and who they don't - i find remembering that the Academy Awards were created by Hollywood mogul Louis B Mayer with the specific purpose of preventing mass unionisation helps. Mayer figured if Hollywood workers were made to think of themselves as artists rather than labourers they'd be less inclined to unionise. Of the awards, Mayer famously said in the late 1920s, "if I give them cups and awards, they'd kill themselves to produce what I wanted." Also by awarding and inviting few, Mayer and the Academy pushed individualist aspirations and exceptionalism over collectivism. Considering the upcoming Writers Guild strike over the exploitation streaming has created that Hollywood producers are trying to suppress (which is why a lot of shows are being cancelled btw because they don't want to pay writers), this anti-union legacy is still clearly alive and well. The majority of these Hollywood award shows were not created to actually award artistic merit, but to create an illusion of artistic meritocracy that would stifle solidarity among workers. So, whenever you find yourself baffled, even enraged, by who the Academy rewards and who they don't, remember that's not what they're really for.

Schindler's List (1993)

Oskar Schindler is a vain and greedy German businessman who becomes an unlikely humanitarian amid the barbaric German Nazi reign when he feels compelled to turn his factory into a refuge for Jews. Based on the true story of Oskar Schindler who managed to save about 1100 Jews from being gassed at the Auschwitz concentration camp, it is a testament to the good in all of us.

I cried...again!

A question for current famous Hollywood directors in 2044 when they start speaking up about their horror at the atrocities in Gaza and are making Oscar bait films about it.
