Silence of the lambs is about a young F.B.I. cadet confide in an incarcerated and manipulative killer to receive his help on catching another serial killer who skins his victims. However, when observing the opening squeal of the film there is a very strong opinion on how gender is being presented to the audience. Typically in the media women are presented to be weak venerable and mostly sexualised by the media however the film challenges this presentation of women from the media. In the film opening we see very young women running down a forest wearing a track suite that is very sweaty and wet as the opening squeal carry's on we notice that she is completing a obstetrical course for instance, when the young girl clime over the ropes we see a strong enthusiastic women being portrayed. As the young women enters the building in grey track suit while everyone is wearing black or either orange we as the audiences get the impression of Independence and self reliance about the young women which shows the audiences that women are strong and independent people.
