Let finally find the most unique perfume in the world. Wherever this smell goes, people all feel love and beauty.
As the narrator said, this perfume has infinite power, so many things can be done with it, but the only thing that cannot be done is to make him have the ability to love and be loved like everyone else. Let have the power of love and beauty, but in the end he has nothing. He spent his whole life looking for incense and making incense, but in the end, in addition to this strange perfume, there were also the deaths of the thirteen girls, and the pain and horror of their relatives.
Let the inability to know that those wonderful smells are the source of love, and the best way to preserve them is not to kill and then possess, but to love, appreciate and cherish.
Standing on the original execution platform, and seeing the joy that the bottle of incense brought to the crowd, he finally understood what kind of behavior love should produce, and then he fantasized about the beautiful feeling of being close to the original girl, and shed tears.
He understood that the beauty of love, love cannot be possessed, and love is the true meaning of human existence. This is a truth that makes him start to feel pain and loneliness.
In the end, with a blank expression and mechanical footsteps, he returned to the place where he was born and used up the bottle of perfume. Disappearing in the street market, disappearing in the crowd, disappearing in the mud of the origin of life.
Love is not possession.
In such an era, human feelings were indifferent, the upper class pursued profit, and the lower class people were numb and dull. After experiencing love and beauty, they still returned to their original state of existence.
Perhaps, Jean was lucky because he finally found love and beauty; he was unfortunate again, he held it in his hand, but could not have it.

    Even if it is so-called magic realism, I don't understand that Mao's corpse can be washed and thrown out of clothes and hair but must be buried in his own house, and that Mao locks the key to his daughter's house, puts the head of his bed and then his door is unlocked. . . . This kind of setting is as unacceptable as taking off a helmet on an alien planet. . The group P scene is so hilarious. Is it really a man to film like this? .

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer quotes

  • Narrator: He still had enough perfume left to enslave the whole world if he so chose. He could walk to Versailles and have the king kiss his feet. He could write the pope a perfumed letter and reveal himself as the new Messiah. He could do all this, and more, if he wanted to. He possessed a power stronger than the power of money, or terror, or death - the invincible power to command the love of man kind. There was only one thing the perfume could not do. It could not turn him into a person who could love and be loved like everyone else. So, to hell with it he thought. To hell with the world. With the perfume. With himself.

  • Narrator: When Jean-Baptiste did finally learn to speak he soon found that everyday language proved inadequate for all the olfactory experiences accumulating within himself.
