I heard this movie a long time ago. Recently, someone commented that if you haven't seen perfume, you haven't seen a movie. I finally read this sentence, in one night. It's rare that I'm not multitasking, just watching a movie.
Forgive me, I still can't remember the name of the protagonist. It's so obscure that I can't remember the last word after listening to it many times. The only name I remember is the noble lady, Lola, which sounds nice and easy to remember. Impressed, her father. The father who loved his daughter so much that he was neurotic all day, was a little neurotic later.
When his excessive sense of protection made his daughter unable to understand and bear it, and turned away from home, I really wanted to blame Lola, because I remembered myself with my mother when I was young and suddenly felt very hateful. But without such rebellion and inner conflict, how can we grow up quickly and automatically?
It's just that the beautiful Lola has no chance. She lay in front of her father in his last fear, dazzling, like the twelve girls before her, hairless and naked. But I am keen on tragedy, in fact, at that moment, in those moments before, I saw an alternative beauty. Maybe that's why he chose them.
It seems to be beside the point. What is the only protagonist, the horrible genius perfumer? If you haven't seen this movie, please forgive me for accidentally spoiling it, but even after the spoiler, it will still be wonderful. Because it is really special and unique. Of all the movies I have seen, it is an alternative, a literary thriller.
There are many scenes with strong flavor, the market is filthy, bloody but not bloody, two women are addicted to each other in an instant, and there is a wretched scene just for the plot, but it is definitely not easy to imagine. Even in the end, his despair, he can get the attention of the whole world, as long as he is willing, but he can't get his own love and the feeling of being loved. He can smell all the smells, but he himself is a man without smell.
He doesn't know the way of the world, and he doesn't know the evil of law. He said he just needed her. That's why he killed her. Maybe he doesn't think he killed her and those innocent women. Needed by him, by his genius and terrible ideas. He doesn't feel guilty. His eyes are as simple as hell at any time. He can conquer the world and get everything he wants, power and money … but he has no ability to love and be loved, and he can't accept himself like this. So he is willing to die where he was born.
It is worth mentioning that his birth sent his mother to the guillotine. He found his birthplace according to the smell in his memory. He has the most sensitive nose in the world, he can smell all the smells, and he has tenacious vitality. No matter how tortuous his fate is, he can't fall. Every time he leaves, it is the arrival of the last master's death, which is destined to be a general coincidence. Whether it was the grandmother who raised him and sold him, the grandmother who only used him as a tool to make money (I really don't know what to call this woman), or the dirty and fat uncle who bought him and sold him a tanning shop, or the master who taught him how to make perfume, the owner of that perfume shop, all died in an accident, and it seemed so strange.
The most beautiful place is probably the lavender field, and the red-haired girl Lola running in the carriage by the side of the road. Her unique smell fascinated him. At that time, the poor girl selling things with a basket on her shoulder, it was her smell that made him have a strong desire to preserve the smell and contributed to the creepy fear project. The girl was suffocated by him unintentionally.
His master is also a bright spot, a very personal and outdated perfumer. He taught him a lot, and died in his own dream and his own ominous collapse on the night he left.
I have to say that the actors are very powerful, deep and impressive. Especially in the end, he disappeared into the crowd who were crazy about him voluntarily or intentionally, and they destroyed him satisfactorily, leaving nothing but clothes. They around him like crazy, crazy, unable to extricate themselves, this is the best way to get rid of his despair and disappear in the place where he was born.
That last drop of perfume is so artistic. I haven't seen the movie ending in ten minutes, pure black screen, all kinds of behind the scenes, but I don't think it's complicated. The only thing I don't understand is that at the beginning, he was spurned by ten thousand people on the execution ground, but there was obviously no scene behind him. Didn't he die in his birthplace, not on the gallows? What does the director want to express? Oh, the scene of being scolded should be when he was tied back to town, I guess so.
The scene is not scary at all. What is terrible is the story itself and the process that you can guess the ending but can't. After reading it, I'm a little afraid of perfume.
When I saw this sentence on the internet, I felt the same way, accurate and sad.
It is credible that people who have never been loved become cruel. Maybe he understood. When the first girl with red hair gave him round fruits I didn't know, such as yellow peaches and oranges, maybe he felt love and he fell in love with her body fragrance. He followed her from a distance and smelled her behind her back. When she turned around, she cried out in fear. Someone passed by and he killed her by mistake. Maybe he didn't feel that he had killed someone at that time, but he regretted not being able to keep the delicious taste. It was a man who gave him love, but also died because of him.
To sum up, the first person who died because of him was his mother and the first person who abandoned him. The second one who abandoned him and died was grandma, the director of the orphanage who adopted him, the third one was a girl with red hair, and the fourth one was his boss, the owner of the leather shop. The fifth one who died because of him and was actually abandoned by him was the old perfumer, his master, who exchanged many perfume formulas of his master for a letter of recommendation from Glass. Then there are the women workers who are cooked as experiments, twelve girls who have the formula of "front, middle and back", and the most important thirteenth formula, the beautiful red-haired girl Lola. Finally, it is himself. Well, I still can't remember his name. I looked it up and found that his name was Greeno.
A person who has never loved since birth, so calmly kills people, perhaps for the red-haired girl who made him feel love for a moment and then lost it. He just wants to preserve her perfect body fragrance.
Don't feel abnormal, this is just the expression of the film. In fact, the inner thoughts are reasonable. He did a series of crazy things out of some kind of love. One thing I don't understand is that when he went after Lola, he obviously only brought a small bag, but where did the steamer come from when he made the final recipe? What I want to say is that he is an excellent athlete. He can race with horses and chase for dozens of kilometers without changing his face. His eyes are also the source of horror in the film.
