What are your opinions about the relationship between Agent Starling and Dr Hannibal Lecter?

I can't count how many times I have seen the movie and I was just wondering, about other people's opinions. What do you think about the relationship the two of them had? I'm just asking about the movie version as the one in the book was much more explicit.

@Fruitipebbles1982 He definitely did. And I suppose it was one of the reasons she was so fascinated by him. She didn't understand a lot about herself when she first met him, he was the one to explain things. And even though it meant she had to be vulnerable with him to a certain degree, she seemed to pretend to put up walls around her, but still went along with it..
