... "Silence of the Lambs" was intense, suspensful and brilliantly filmed, IMHO. For the record, I don't believe in banning movies or books for controversial content; films have ratings to inform the public about the appropriateness of subject matter and a policy enforcing age restrictions.As for the Academy, members only rarely deign to give controversial topics the level of attention deserved (i.e., in the major categories the coveted Oscar usually goes to the most mainstream material), so I don't believe that the film industry can be seriously viewed as an accurate barometer of social decline. To the contrary, entertainment is often the scape goat for other failings (i.e., social, parental, political, economic, etc.) endemic in an overpopulated contemporary society; films are a reflection of the marketplace, not the other way around.
