Scent of a Woman

The point of view of the whole story is that of a teenage high school student, who lets such a shy, uneasy kid face a weird, withdrawn old officer directly. Such a script is a big challenge for the screenwriter. Goodman believes: "The officer played by Al Pacino is a competitive man, and if a middle school student who is like a soft persimmon comes into contact with him, there will definitely be a wonderful chemical effect. That retired officer, Wanting to end his life, he ended up meeting a middle school student whose life had just begun - which undoubtedly awakened his desire for life and life. To borrow the name of "Van Gogh's Biography", it is 'longing for life'" ("The Life of Van Gogh") Van Gogh's English name is Lust of Life, which means "longing for life").

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.
