Better plot, acting & dialogue. Hannibal is way less campy and Ed Norton shits on Jodi Foster.

100% agree with you, actually, even though objectively Demme should completely shit on brett ratner as a filmmaker easily.

I think you are right on that a big reason is that EN is the more enjoyable screen presence, whereas I've always felt that Jodi Foster's jittery 'omg I'm just a TRAINEE' schtick in SOTL was overrated

Yea man, and Ford v Ferrari was about the cars.

Who cares what a movie is "about"? Foster's performance is the central aspect of the movie.

the movie is clearly a commentary on monsters and foster is just an insert for humanity in general. she could have been angelina jolie in a skinsuit and it would have been the same movie

Yes we get it. That doesn't take away from the fact that she takes up the majority of the movie, and thus plays a huge part in its enjoyability.

amazing subthread.

also something I didn't see OP explicitly mention but that I think is very in line with his overall point: IDGAF how overwhelming the academy vote reportedly was in favor of her best actress bid, 29 y/o JF's attempts at an ersatz West Virginia accent are fucking awful to listen to for 2.5 hrs

How was Clarice in the FBI Academy at the time yet still doing IRL investigations and solving cases? Was this ever explained?

My buddy went to the FBI academy and he was only allowed to leave on the weekends and had training and schoolwork the entire time.

I'm assuming Crawford gave her special permission.

Although how she was able to carry a firearm is uncertain.
