Christmas Eve for Two Men

Kristoffer 2022-03-18 09:01:02

This is a special day.

It's Christmas Eve, and it's midnight, and the wind is howling outside the window.

After a few hours of boring time after get off work, I was extremely depressed, and then I went home like a fool, and the depressed mood could not be dissipated for a long time.

Inexplicably lost. Lively festivals often give people this feeling, because behind the carnival all over the world hides the loneliness and loneliness of thousands of people.

So I started watching movies. So I opened the Scent of a woman. It

should be said that in such a movie, there is no one who is not shaken in the heart after watching it, no matter how many times you watch it.

Of course, a large part of the reason comes from the wonderful performance of Al Pacino, a lieutenant colonel with a strong character, a retired soldier who sees through life, a blind man who is blind, a real man.

The story of Charlie and Lieutenant Colonel Frank should be described as a year-end friendship. A famous high school student with excellent grades, and a former army general who made great achievements, started a journey for an unexpected reason, a journey full of drama, Fantastic journey.

On such a journey, Lieutenant Colonel Frank's character shines through, whether it's a loud growl or a whisper, it's unforgettable. More of an incisive insight into women and life.

All men like two things, women and good cars, and Frank is one of them. In fact, appreciating a famous car is not much different from appreciating the essence of a woman. You need to understand her deeply, listen to her, and feel her.

How can a blind man appreciate the beauty of a woman, let alone a man with unobstructed vision?

How can a blind man cherish his image so much, and a normal person? Dignity and image are the most precious things for everyone, no matter who you are.

Two men, one big and one small, accompany me through a depressed Christmas night. Is it sadness or joy?

    The lengthy plot, plain development, and sensational and inspirational mode without surprises; fortunately, there is also a legendary Pacino, who used great performances from beginning to end to avoid the fate of falling into a cup.

    "Scenting the fragrance" is a helpless act of the blind lieutenant colonel in life. It is not only his survival skill, but also a glimmer of hope for his survival.

Scent of a Woman quotes

  • [Headmaster Trask drives into the Baird School driveway in his brand-new Jaguar. He gets out, to hear a voice on a loudspeaker]

    Jimmy Jameson: [on loudspeaker, but unidentified] Mister Trask is our fearless leader.

    [students hear this and gather, looking on at Trask]

    Jimmy Jameson: A man of learning, a voracious reader. He can recite "The Iliad" in ancient Greek, while fishing for trout in a rippling creek.

    Trent Potter: [Trask grins slightly, trying to figure out where the voice is coming from] Endowed with wisdom, of judgement sound, nevertheless about him, the questions abound.

    [We now see the same three Baird guys who set up this prank the night before; Harry opens the valve to an oxygen tank connected to a large balloon on a lamppost as Trent passes the microphone to him]

    Harry Havemeyer: How does Mister Trask make such wonderful deals? Why did the trustees buy him Jaguar wheels? He wasn't conniving, he wasn't crass... he merely puckered his lips... and kissed their ass!

    [balloon spins around to reveal a cartoon bearing the words being spoken; the students laugh and mock Trask]

    Harry Havemeyer: [Trask pulls out his car keys and opens the Jaguar door, then jumps up to try to pop the balloon with the key. He misses on the first try. On the second try, he succeeds, and a flood of white paint splashes down onto him and all over the car. The students applaud loudly and shout obscenities at him as this catastrophe concludes with Trask kicking the car door closed and attempting to dry his face with handkerchief]

  • Lt. Col. Frank Slade: [Lt. Col. Frank Slade is speaking in defense of Charlie Simms at meeting at the Baird School] Now I have come to the cross-roads in my life. I always knew what the right path was. Without exception, I knew, but I never took it. You know why? It was too damn hard. Now here's Charlie. He's come to the cross-roads. He has chosen a path. It's the right path. It's a path made of principle that leads to character. Let him continue on his journey.
