Selling novel, the film seems to be the guarantee of box office, so the change from the original shoot Hollywood film directors aspire to.
On the contrary, a good screenplay, also available are often published as a movie Peripheral products, so that filmmakers can stuff more money into their pockets.
But in any case, bringing novels to the big screen is often a risky move.
Although the box office under the blessing of the original book is guaranteed, it does not guarantee that the film will be well received.
The content of the novel can be visualized in the reader's mind and given vitality. However, when the movie presents this process of visualization on the visual sense, it is limited by the expression technique or length of the movie, whether it can meet the needs of the readers/audience. It’s hard to say what to expect.
But I personally think that the remake of the original
book of the same name is a very successful case recently. Perfume has a lot of descriptions of smell and smell, so it seems quite appropriate to support such an abstract subject in words , Once it is put on the screen, it is more difficult to resort to vision. Fortunately, the director used some tracking shots to interpret the extension of the sense of smell, and the close-up shots of magnifying the microcosm showed the sensitivity of the sense of smell, supplemented by the third-person narration. Supplementary narration, the film is successful in the process of converting the sense of smell into vision, which is the most difficult to master.
However, if you really buy a ticket to the movie theater to watch this film, you will definitely have the same experience as me: most of you have not seen it. Audiences of the original book were puzzled and puzzled by the undisguised collective sex scene in the
film . The film's successful depiction of an indescribable smell is the most important key to the film.
So, whether "smell" or "perfume" are some of the symbols, is a metaphor, a symbol of human behavior among the saddest part of the value and power?
a are born in promiscuous worst smell the place, but has a superhuman ability to smell, so he found the world identified There are all kinds of smells, and people who are sensitive to so many smells accidentally find that they have no smell on their body. What is more sad than this?
In other words, a person is in a world full of many external values and powers, sensitively looking for the value of obeying the truth, and after searching, only to find that he was born a worthless person, and no one cares. Or understand his existence. Even, the only residual value of the protagonist's existence in the film is only a breath of respite between the exploitation and oppression of capitalism.
So he had to start to seek his own value, find and save it with his extraordinary talent world's most beautiful smell good recipe.
so "perfume" through the collective murder and sexual violence cruel and absurd sensory stimulation, is accusing the people's pursuit of the power of the machine, or reflection on universal values and their own values?
when most movie At the climax, the protagonist "bewitched" on the execution platform with a perfume made from the body fragrance collected by the killing of countless girls, which the audience seemed extremely stupid and incredible. The most grand and spectacular "sex party" in film history was held.
People think that the reason why people are different from animals is that people have rational and non-estrus mating. If even this "defense line" has been disintegrated, then "perfume" The power generated has far surpassed the power of human beings.
And "perfume" not only destroyed the biological foundation on which man was superior, but also succumbed to the Pope (religious power), and even the victim's father (moral power).
Such a powerful forces represent what is metaphysical superstructure of human society, or as Pandora's box as is given the power of non-human?
movie closer to the end, I will increasingly determine the tone of the film sorrow.
around The audience mostly giggled, laughing suspiciously for some strange reason. However, I really can only feel the intense sadness and accusation projected from the screen.
Finally, the intense sadness of the perfume, in the film's calming There was a silent roar
at the end. After obtaining the supreme perfume of magic, the protagonist did not choose to continue playing with his perfume (power), but returned to the fish market where he was born.
With unparalleled power, he still has no smell and is worthless. So ironically, he can only pour that precious perfume on his body without caring, and finally be dumped under the fragrance. The crowd devoured them until they were devoured.
What I saw was the power that came from the zealous pursuit that drowned out the empty self-worth, and then ended up being eaten by other greedy suitors, and people didn't realize it afterwards, and it all happened. like natural phenomena take for granted, it is comes from instinct fate with the outcome.
and back to the birthplace of the arrangement, it seems to remind us examine their original appearance, has already been evil power and the value of net woven together, grab severely crack.
Breaks after, you say, "this is the most I've ever seen the horror thriller."
I know you're teased studios shallow imagination, the film will be unreasonable and naive classified as "horror thriller."
but now I I still deeply feel that the suspense of perfume is not a little bit, but the shock it brings me is not small. The
original novel carries such a shock, and the movie accurately magnifies and highlights this shock and reflection, leaving aside the success of the film The bizarre aesthetic created is the reason why I think director Tom Tykwer is successful.
