En este episodio de CinemaJam, Sebastián Gómez (desde Austin) y Pablo Vélez (desde Montreal) revisitan la obra maestra de Jonathan Demme, The Silence of the Lambs (1991).

Más allá de los sustos, analizamos la película bajo una nueva lupa: ¿Es una película machista o feminista?. Discutimos cómo la cinematografía resalta la lucha de Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) en un mundo dominado por hombres y miradas inquisitivas.

• Por qué Ted Levine (Buffalo Bill) merece más reconocimiento por su aterradora interpretación.

  
  

• Cómo esta película inauguró la estética oscura de los procedimientos policiales de los 90s y la obsesión actual con el "True Crime".

  
  

• El análisis de la tensa secuencia final en visión nocturna.

In this versus episode, hosts Sebastian and Pablo pit two ferocious animal attack movies against each other to decide which one survives and which one gets "eaten". We analyze Steven Spielberg’s masterpiece Jaws (1975) against Greg McLean’s Australian thriller Rogue (2007).

While Jaws is the king of the ocean, does the king of the Australian outback have what it takes to dethrone it? We break it down round-by-round, covering scripts, characters, visuals, and rewatchability.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Script: Comparing the depth of Spielberg's storytelling versus the straightforward survival horror of Rogue.

• The Characters: A debate on the iconic trio of Quint, Hooper, and Brody versus the strong female leadership of Kate Ryan in Rogue.

• Visuals: Why Rogue takes the win for its immersive Australian outback cinematography compared to the "generic" beach town of Amity.

• The Animals: The motivation of a territorial crocodile vs. a vengeful shark.

• Memorable Moments: The masterclass of acting in the USS Indianapolis speech vs. high-tension action sequences.

Final Verdict:Which movie stands the test of time? Tune in to see the final score!.
