Does anybody know some similarities between the movies Silence of the Lambs and Se7en?

They killed for different reasons--the Silence killer for the skin so he could act out his fantasy of being a woman, and the Seven killer because he wanted to teach people a lession about the seven deadly sins.  It's almost like the Seven killer thought he was doing the right thing, and the Silence killer didn't care.

Silence of the Lambs- Hannibal was dire- he only wrote the book because the director asked him to do one so they could use it for a third film.\nWell done Jodie Foster for turning it down for it's complete crapiness!!!\n\nI really like Fatherland, even if it isn't a movie (yet?)\n\nAlthough, I havn't read or watched black sunday so a kinda biased opinion

Just like se7en, it is meant to be any US city... no definitive town or city is mentioned... (it was filmed in Vancouver in reality though....)

Both are set in dystopian socities in which sexuality is rigidly regulated. That is the most obvious parallell.\n\nBoth have been made into films. That might be the easiest\nway to compare the two.

haven't seen the movie myself, but it very well could be. \n\nwe as humans tend to tell the same stories over and over again. very similar "savior" stories are found in many of the worlds religious traditions, not only christianity. \n\ni believe that we are expressing the archtypal truths of humanity through these stories. and that they will continuously manifest through out life. read "the power of myth" by joseph campbell. he documents this phenomenon very well.\n\n and i don't mean to to say that Jesus Christ wasn't a real man who did magnificent things. but just that there have been other incarnations of beings sent here to lead humanity towards it's true nature of Love and Unity. \n\ni do believe that most people miss the point or the lesson that the Holy Masters have come to teach. they get stuck in the dogma and miss the true essence of the Spirit. but we are evolving and this is part of that process. we will all get there eventually.\n\n*peace

http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/notorious/gein/bill_1.html\n\nThe link should basically outline everything about the actual serial killer, Ed Gein, that Leatherface was modeled after. Even has a picture of him in one of the chapters and a couple extra photos.\n\nFrom what I have heard, Tobe Hooper, the director of the first originally overheard the story of Ed Gein when he was younger, and we all know how our imaginations run wild when we're young. Basically, in the long run, it inspired him to create The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.\n\nPersonally, I find it humorous and frustrating all at the same time when I actually meet people who believe Leatherface is still on the loose. Hollywood should use the phrase "Inspired by a True Story" as opposed to "Based on a True Story". Otherwise, people seem to take the movie as fact.

I was blessed enough to get free movie screening passes to see Eight Below last night.  The movie was fantastic, and I highly recommend seeing it.  It comes out on Friday.\n\nIt's inspired by a true story and is about the journey of eight Antartic sled dogs left behind by their team.

Elephant. Directed by Gus Van Sant. I liked that movie. Although the killers weren't really lovers. They were just the only ones who thought they understood each other.

Yes, it coincides with the Bible.\n\nIt shows that god send himself in human form (Jesus, Asland) to die for the sinner (us, or Edmond.) and redeemed him (duh.) it coincides almost perfectly with the Calvinistic view.\n\nThe devil, or white witch, can pretend to be your friend while s/he stabs you in the back in reality. And s/he doesn't show his/her true point of view till it's too late.\n\nAslan says in the movie that he died, not because he had to, but to make a point. we (or Edmond) didn't force him to die, but he did it of his own will. this contradicts some Christians, but agrees with a lot of others.\n\nsin, of course, is bad. In the ,movie, you have to die for betrayal. In real life, you have to die for your sins. Asland/Jesus died to save you/Edmond from sin.\n\nI hope this answers. Unless you are a second grader, I don't think you'll be able to copy/paste this due to its unofficial style, so don't plagiarize. But I hope I helped you out here, kid.

I would suggest reading the book "Vengeance" by George Jonas, the factual book that the movie was based on.  I haven't read it myelf, so I can't give you a direct answer, but the book should explain who and what they are.

Although that may be, that Gandolf also has similarities to Jesus, however, C.S.Lewis specifically stated that he wrote the Narnia series to indoctrinate children into Christian beliefs, and so that they would be more amenable to them when they were older. \n\nAs a matter of fact, he specifically says this in one of the Narnia books, The Dawn Treader. At the end of the book, Lucy and Edmund meet Aslan in the form of a lamb (a lamb!). To Lucy's question about how to enter Aslan's country, the lamb replies: "For you the door into Aslan's country is from your own world." Then, after the lamb is changed back into Aslan, Edmund asks: "Are--are you there [in our world] too, Sir?" Aslan responds "I am...But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there." \n\nC.S.Lewis, through Aslan, makes it clear that the young reader's experiences through the Narnia series have just been to prepare them for recognizing Jesus in their own world.
