      Perfume: The Story of a Murderer--Find True Meaning

      Grenouille was born at a fish stall and finally chose to leave it at a fish stall. What is the meaning of life? Camus said it was pointless resistance. Our protagonist was born inexplicably in a messy and smelly fish stall. Unlike his siblings, he survived, and only in his scent world. What does the smell mean to him? Love, soul, pursuit, the meaning of life? There is no so-called morality, there is only an exploration of the...

      Perfume Rhapsody

      Some time ago, I did something extremely unreliable with three women: I watched a movie in the library, and I watched a movie that combined bloody murder and nude group P. And there are two teams of people next to them. One team is about good students in law school who discuss their homework. The security uncles are all recruited.

      "Perfume" is said to be a banned film, but in my opinion, it's nothing more than a literary film dressed in heavy flavors. My classmate's comment on the...

      With a clean and deadly blow to the back of the head, the girl's body fell softly to the ground. Following the unique scent of virgins, they peeled off their corsets and long skirts layer by layer. Their fresh corpses are smeared with thick animal oil and wrapped with gauze. In this way, a few hours later, the gauze wrapped around the corpse was peeled off, the girls' hair was cut off, the oil was squeezed out, and the residual oil on the girl's body was scraped off with a knife, so that there...

      The more disgusting and heavy-tasting perverted murderer documentary has sullied a literary name

      When I saw the title of the film, I thought it would be a more literary film, but I didn't expect it to be a film about a perverted murderer with such a heavy taste.

      A person who regards himself as a dog-like existence only for his taste, but also blames others for not treating him as a human being. . . . . Such bizarre logic, it is estimated that only the French who know nothing about logic will accept it.

      Originally, I wanted to give 2 stars for the sake of the performance...

      The Loveless and the Mindless Murderer

      Grenouille, the loveless and the mentally retarded murderer.
      Since he was born, he has never encountered any good emotions, so he doesn't know how to learn to express good emotions. With that terrible nose, he went through love after love. "Every murder is a love affair, but what he loves is not beauty, but the smell of beauty." Every time the camera expresses Grenouille's sensitivity to smell, it becomes particularly affectionate and poetic. I don't know why, but I was deeply moved by...

      The plot itself is not bad, but the reality is terrible. A paranoid who will do anything to get what he wants. I ask all fans who support his fanatical pursuit of art to put themselves in the shoes of your loved ones. will support...

      It is the same as "Crime and Punishment" as a backlash against superhumanism, but the angle is more interesting. Crime and Punishment is that no one is an overman, and perfume is what will happen when people become overman, an evil Christ, a complete betrayal Faust for Mephistopheles; there's also quite a bit of "rabble" in it, though that's probably an over-analytical...

      A saga similar to Dorian Gray. When the pursuit of art reaches the limit, it is perversion. I did not expect that the end of the film is actually a redemptive ending. The overall feeling is not bad, is a strange audio-visual...

    Movie plot

    In the eighteenth century, Jean-Mapiste Grenoye ( played by Ben Wisshaw ) was born in the dirtiest and most foul-smelling place in Paris-the fish market. Grenoye was born with an amazing talent for smells: he remembered them one by one, whether they were foul or aromatic, and could easily distinguish various smells.
    When he was 13 years old in the orphanage, he was sold by the dean to a tanner. Grenoye lived an inferior life in the...

    Film thoughts

    The film unfolds the narrative process of the film with the movement of Grenoyer's nose, and also shows the uniqueness of the protagonist Grenoyer: It is under the guidance of his talented sense of smell that Grenoyer's life can be found in the world. Survive, develop, prosper and eventually destroy.
    Although the film traces the story back to the 18th century, the film is guided by the sense of smell and takes the search for perfume as...

    Character image

    Some viewers are puzzled by the protagonist's suicide after watching the film. As everyone knows, the character image created by the film has his own integrity, and the development of the film's story follows its own "rules of the game." In the specific art world created by the director, Grenoye has his own destiny and destination.
    Recalling Greno’s life carefully, his tragic fate seems to have been doomed at the beginning of the film:...

    Music

    From the foul smell that has always been rendered with a depressive tone at the beginning, to the protagonist Grenoye’s first step into the city, the dreamy music plays, to the capture of the unique fragrance of the fragrance, the description of the background music finally establishes the direction: a The trembling, low, anxious tones of string music constitute the background of the times and the description of the ugly environment; a...
