no, not just bad "luck"

Posted by: charlie (a.k.a mickpix) on Aug 25, 17:55 in response to tealfan's post IIRC, the reason she was at the house was just bad luck...

but specifically because of what Lecter said to her about how Buffalo Bill learned to become a serial killer -- we covet the things we see every day

when Clarice is searching Frederica Bimmel's bedroom, she realizes that her killer must have been a neighbor or someone nearby with whom she had daily contact

and that leads her to go back to the Gumm house to check it out again

If you say so. It sure seemed like a cheap trick to grab attention. Juiced Aug 25, 12:50

If you think about the movie as an "apprenticeship" story. . . second gary Aug 25, 16:19
