After watching it for a long time, I can't calm down. This is the journey of Jean-Maptist Grenouille, a child who is alone in the world with no relatives. Sadly, he still didn't find it in the end. In the process, he killed so many people unforgivably, but because of the perfume made from the body scent of these victims, he was not sentenced to death by everyone. He chose to return to his birthplace, where his love should have begun, and where he sentenced himself to an alternative death sentence. He was abandoned by his mother at birth, and his mother was killed because he was found crying when he was abandoned. He was born without fragrance, but he has an amazing talent for smell, can recognize any smell, but he lacks love, which is the source of the perfume story. There are no horrific murder scenes in the film, but it feels like performance art. When he met the girl he liked and killed her by mistake, when he used a certain method to extract the body fragrance of so many girls, in other words, when he killed those girls in disguise, he obtained enough perfume to control the whole world. The experiment saved himself from the death penalty, he was excited, but even more empty, because none of this got him the slightest bit of love. In the end, it is conceivable to return to the place where he was born, or the original place where he should not have survived, and was divided and eaten by people.

    This child has no time to worry about human rights. We also ignore right and wrong in our bones, but dare not do it. When the carnival ends, we put on rotten clothes in embarrassment and live as Taoist priests.
