Week 5
Recently I have watched the movie "The silence of the lambs" a sequel of "Hannibal". The
fundamental fact which I have liked the most about this movie is that in comparison to the
previous movie in the same series it is less frightening and less disturbing while the storyline
is extraordinary. The film catches the attention of the audience from the very first few
minutes. However, I have recommended watching the movie to a friend of mine, and he did
not like it at all. I can observe that there are a few key differences which play a key role in
developing the pattern of the choices and preferences of people. Initially, the cultural
background from where a person belongs can broadly define what the person will like or
dislike (Thompson, 2018). I have observed that in the movie both of the main characters
experienced childhood trauma and in the case of my friend, he also experienced certain
problems in his childhood. In this context, it can be stated that he was unable to build up the
resilience and could not stand the stories depicted in the movie. Furthermore, the
psychological tensions as depicted in the movie which I found to be most attractive may not
seem to be liked by my friend. This is because he is a person who believes in watching
movies for purely entertainment purpose and according to him movies of this genre do not
entertain him rather scare him. In this case, also there is a fundamental difference in the
context of values and beliefs. On an added notion, it is also essential to mention that the
educational background also plays a crucial role. I always liked the scientific methods of
investigation; apart from not being a student of pure science I always liked the subjects. On
the contrary, my friend is a student of pure literature, and he does not find anything
interesting in the process of investigation and the flow of the movie.
