Re-watched Silence of the Lambs for the first time in ages, and in regards to the sexuality and gender part of Buffalo Bill's, it's got some huge problems for modern understanding, no question. But there are actually lines spoken by Clarice and Lecter to make it clear that Buffalo Bill is NOT trans. He desperately hates himself and will try anything to change himself. Including making the woman suit. But he's not trans.
"Gayle, that's two lines--"
Yeah, I know. I don't disagree. But much like the queerphobia in Manhunter, it could have been really, really bad. It feels like there was real effort to NOT be lazy about the details. Which puts it above a lot of other media of the time and even now.
I did get an unintentional laugh when Clarice says, in explaining that she agrees with Lecter that Bill isn't trans, "Transsexuals are passive."
The FBI was very impressed with the level of correct detail in the film over how the Bureau works, including the Behavioral Sciences Unit. I assume that line is a direct quote from some textbook Clarice has studied at the Academy. In terms of that versus modern day? HILARIOUS.

Regina ‘live-watches’ Last Man: Zenmou no Sousakan S01E08.
This time, Minami, attending to personal business along with Agatsuma, attempts to foil a bus hijacking. Godo discovers what has brought Minami to Japan and is not happy about it.
Content warnings for the episode: blood, violence, child death (I do not comment on this).
Ah, Godo isn't jumping to conclusions, but he's aware that he’s not going to like the answers he gets.
OUCH, Godo reacting to Minami not denying that he had an ulterior motive is both heart-breaking and played so beautifully. That little very quiet sob, that indicates he’s trying to hide emotion from Minami, but still revealing so much. He's so invested already while Minami -- apparently -- isn't. (I call bull. Minami is totally invested, but he's shutting off that emotional consideration in favor of a rational one, focused on a goal. Also, he’s unaware of how Godo feels right up until the point Godo breaks composure.)
The one-two punch of betrayal is done quite well. Godo is hurt by Minami, but he does give him the benefit of the doubt before he gets noticeably angry, but when it comes to his family, the anger is well-justified. His sister-in-law knew nothing; you can see it on her face.
Everyone except for Agatsuma is quite angry with Minami, now that Izumi has told them all he knows.
I like the maturity of everyone in response to this revelation. It’s dramatic, but no one is casting blame or guilt-tripping; they’re accepting what has happened and dealing with it from a personal perspective that is actively communicating where boundaries have been crossed.
Enough personal drama, straight into the case of the week. I find this switching gears a bit grinding.
I had to get up and walk around when Minami actually got shot. Picked up my kitty and gave her a hug, lol. And then I replayed it on half-speed. So much good hurt-comfort in this episode.
How much do I love that he just shoved Agatsuma down and was already thinking about her safety first, in getting her to stand behind him? He cares about her so much.
There's some inconsistency on how much blood is on Minami's hand but I'm going to write that off because he did say it hadn't stopped bleeding.
Me, shipping Agatsuma and Izumi, thinking, oh, that's a lovely moment for them there, as she sees him out the window.
The message on the handkerchief made me laugh, not because it's funny, but because I'm fairly certain Masha wrote it himself and his penmanship is so grandiose. I believe it reads: "Search the magazine capacity of the handmade gun. Please Cindy." And it does look like it was written by a non-sighted person, because of the placement of the letters, although there is more evenness in the lines than I would expect.
Points to Izumi for knowing English, good for you, Izumi.
For once, someone acting like being shot is painful. No pushing through pain to unbelievable extents.
Some other parts of this story stretching my unbelief, but when you only have forty-five minutes to tell a story... *handwaves*.
Both of them have been shot on the left side. Nice mirroring.
Godo's rant is perfect. I have no sympathy for the criminal this time. The inciting incident is tragic, but his self-absorption makes it so that I can’t. We’re not supposed to, either.
Awwww. The members of the team that Minami has most impressed are the ones most worried about him, while he's most concerned about the safety of Godo. Agatsuma’s dismay when she realizes she’d almost forgotten about Godo, too, is done well.
Hello, Debbie.
This conversation between Deborah and Godo is very interesting for revealing what preconceptions Minami brought into his relationship with Godo. I keep turning that in my head too: these two children tied together by fate. What if they had met before this? But they didn't. And yet, they have a pre-existing connection regardless of the forty-one years they were not in each other's sphere.
Flashback to Minami playing piano with his mother, his mother from whom he inherited his dimples. I wonder if he's aware of that, that he carries her smile with him. (Splendid choice of casting for that one little detail.)
What an appeal. Godo would have to be heartless to resist.
I don't even need slash goggles for this show. It's all so on the surface.
This little moment of surprise as Godo comes closer is so telling. Minami was expecting something else besides what Godo does.
Two goals of the writers, in this episode, obviously: first) further the relationship between Godo and Minami, via very short-lived conflict that immediately gets tested so that it can leave room to figure out what actually matters and second) tell a ripping good tense story that puts them both into danger. Inextricable from each other, even if a bit rushed, in my opinion. However, still handled well and gives an excellent point about social media that can stand to be pressed a bit more often.
