This is exactly what will be called upon her for the rest of the screenplay. She is a public servant, dedicated to enforcing the law and helping people. What does this scene accomplish other than introducing the main character?įirst, it shows the character doing what she does. It fools us into thinking the main character is in a tense situation, when in fact it is just part of her training as an FBI agent. Except, unlike the closing scene when she attempts to capture the serial killer Buffalo Bill, this scene is just an exercise. The main character, Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster), is introduced in the first paragraph on the first page of the screenplay. Ted Tally wrote the screenplay based on the novel by Thomas Harris. Jodie Foster stars along with Anthony Hopkins in this shocking, pulse-pounding thriller about a young FBI agent who enlists the help of a jailed, cannibalistic madman to help her catch a serial killer on the loose.
