Wasn't Buffalo Bill older than Clarice Starling?

reply

Hmm ... I don't think it was directly stated how old he was, but I think it's safe to assume that. She was a trainee, just out of college. And she was certainly younger than Hannibal Lecter.

I've heard that in the novels she and Lecter end up as lovers. Weird!!

reply

Ok that’s twice I’ve messed this up. I’m sittting this one out and getting my head on straight

Sorry guys

reply

No, I think you got it right. The question is, movies where the villain is younger than the protagonist; in SOTL the villain (BB or HL) is older than the protagonist (Starling).

EDIT -- Never mind; see below

reply

But that means he didn't get it right then? You're confusing me.

reply

Agggh, sorry about that. I was trying to post while keeping one eye on the SpaceX reentry, and got confused about who I was responding to. I was saying that yes, he didn't get it right, SOTL doesn't fit, and the objection that it didn't fit was correct.

I apologize most profusely and abjectly, and will accept whatever penalty is due me under Code Duello.
