Hannibal the Cannibal was a psychiatrist-turned-serial killer who literally ate people alive, sometimes with a side of some fava beans and a nice chianti. But the film, which celebrates its 30th anniversary on February 14, isn\u2019t just about Hannibal. Its protagonist is actually Clarice Starling, a young FBI agent-in-training played by Jodie Foster in an Academy Award-winning performance. The film tells the story of how Starling tracks down a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/crime\/indias-dr-horror-serial-killer-devender-sharma\/\">serial killer<\/a> and saves a woman from becoming his next victim.\u00a0Hannibal is just her sidekick in the whole shindig.\n\nBy the time I finished this film, Clarice Starling had become my new hero. The crime, thriller, and horror genres have generally relegated women to unidimensional side characters: Lois Lane-style helpless victims, over-the-top femme fatales, or dead wives and girlfriends who spur the hero on in his quest for revenge. To my surprise and joy, Starling defied these stereotypes. A badass cop, she battled monsters both inside and outside the FBI academy and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/its-exhausting-to-be-an-ambitious-woman-there-i-said-it\/\">proved her mettle in a misogynistic workplace<\/a>. And she held her own against not one, but two psychopathic serial killers. How\u2019s that for a feminist icon?\n\nWe are first introduced to Clarice Starling as she is jogging alone on a desolate obstacle course in the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Then she squeezes into an elevator full of men who tower over her and ignore her. These quiet visuals in the opening sequence clearly establish that Starling is treated as an outsider in the world of law enforcement \u2013\u00a0 every woman who has tried to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/pixar-purl-women-succeed-at-work\/\">succeed in a male-dominated field<\/a> will identify with this feeling of exclusion.\n\nIn the cat-and-mouse game of tracking down one serial killer while taking the help of another, Starling soon realises that doing her job has been complicated by the fact that she is a woman in a man\u2019s world, and that every man she meets \u2013 agent, murderer, psychiatrist, criminal, senior, junior \u2013 can\u2019t seem to wrap their heads around that.\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>Starling&#8217;s male colleagues are threatened by her and by the possibility that she will be successful\u2013yet they expect her to fail.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\nWhen Starling reaches the asylum Hannibal is housed in, she is briefed by a Dr Chilton, a much older, extremely creepy man who hits on her within seconds of the meeting. When she politely rebuffs his advances, he remarks: \u201cCrawford\u2019s very clever, isn\u2019t he, using you? Pretty, young woman to turn him on&#8230; I don\u2019t believe Lecter\u2019s even seen a woman in eight years&#8230; And oh, are you ever his taste\u2013so to speak.\u201d Clarice realises that he is implying that she has been chosen for this case only because of her beauty and gender, and she swiftly shuts him down with the rejoinder, \u201cI graduated from UVA, Doctor. It\u2019s not a charm school.\u201d\n\nWhen I saw this exchange, my heart broke for the idealistic, hardworking Starling and for other young women like her who have to deal with the unfairness of misogyny in our day-to-day lives. It also made me furious at the men \u2013 the \u201cgood\u201d FBI agents as well as the \u201cevil\u201d criminals \u2013 who were using Starling as nothing more than a pawn in their dangerous game.\n\nIn another important scene, Jack Crawford, Starling\u2019s boss, actually singles her out and tells the local sheriff that they shouldn\u2019t discuss their observations of the victim\u2019s wounds in front of a woman. She <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/women-need-to-stop-being-polite-to-predators-and-creeps\/\">firmly and politely<\/a> reminds him that his actions set the tone for how her peers will treat her as well as their other women colleagues. The scene is a painful reminder that benevolent sexism is just as damaging as hostile sexism.\n\nIn a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/why-has-metoo-scared-every-man\/\">post #Metoo world<\/a>, we have begun speaking more openly about the myriad problems women face in the workplace: sexual harassment, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/people\/rip-wg-co-dr-vijayalakshmi-ramanan\/\">glass ceilings<\/a>, double standards, sexist attitudes, boys\u2019 clubs, condescension, and so on. Clarice Starling is subjected to all these obstacles. Her male colleagues are threatened by her and by the possibility that she will be successful\u2013yet they expect her to fail. As is the case with most women, she has to work doubly hard, be extra firm with her boundaries, and stand up for herself just to be treated properly.\n\nWhat\u2019s more, Starling\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/ladies-time-to-retire-compliment\/\">beauty<\/a> and femininity make her a constant target of the male gaze. At one point, Hannibal points this out to discomfit her, saying, \u201cDon\u2019t you feel eyes moving over your body, Clarice?\u201d And the answer is, she does. Through her experiences, the film brilliantly portrays how women have to operate under a suffocating, relentless male gaze that constantly sexualises us.\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p><em>The Silence of the Lambs<\/em>  isn\u2019t about the depravity of criminals or the misogyny of men.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\nThough the men around Starling are frustratingly dismissive of her, she prevails. By\u00a0(spoiler alert)\u00a0putting together the clues dropped by Hannibal, she finds Bill, kills him, and rescues his newest victim. And in a very satisfying twist, she proves indeed to be to Hannibal\u2019s taste: not as his dinner, but as a person who he has come to respect and even admire. After he escapes, he assures her that he won\u2019t be coming after her because \u201cthe world\u2019s more interesting\u201d with her in it.\n\nUltimately, <em>The Silence of the Lambs<\/em>\u00a0isn\u2019t about the depravity of criminals or the misogyny of men. The way I see it, it\u2019s about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/why-has-womensupportingwomen-the-bw-selfie-campaign-riled-up-so-many-men\/\">women saving other women<\/a> with their sheer hard work, presence of mind, and courage. When the film released, the beautiful, diligent, hardworking Clarice Starling was an oddity. Now television shows and films are filled with her daughters \u2013 Kate Beckett in <em>Castle<\/em>, Amy Santiago in <em>Brooklyn Nine-Nine<\/em>, and closer home, Rani Mukherjee\u2019s Shivani Shivaji Roy in <em>Mardaani<\/em>.\n\nWith a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6r5vvcljlOo\">new TV show<\/a> centred on Starling coming out soon, we\u2019ll get to cheer her on once again as she beats the bad guys. Ultimately, her story has important lessons for today\u2019s young women: be your own hero, ignore the sexist men around you, help your sisters out, and don\u2019t let the bad guys get away.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Silence of the Lambs isn\u2019t just about Dr  Hannibal Lecter.
