A summary of the highlights of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman"

1. Of course Al Pacino's acting skills! A blind man, a blind man full of dirty words, an old man who molested his nephew and daughter-in-law at the dinner table, and a tough guy struggling on the edge of despair and decadence.

2. Classic Tango. Goosebumps came out when the music started. The strength of the old father helps his son pick up girls, haha.

3. Ferrari sports car. Sfalan, who could not see anything, drove a Ferrari worth hundreds of thousands of dollars on the street, turned by his own feeling, and was chased by the traffic police. Ok. Very hardcore. I couldn't help laughing at the expression on Charlie's seat in the co-pilot.

4. Speeches in the synagogue. At the end of the speech in the synagogue, many people thought it was chicken soup, but I was very moved by watching it.

5. The process of mutual redemption between Charlie and Sfalan. One is a nineteen-year-old boy who is in trouble, and the other is an old man who plans to die generously, but they both see each other's pain and redeem each other.

    Help me... Colonel then said in a yin and yang tone, Charlie, I'm really going to vomit. The whole film is very hypocritical, a very simple story. A veteran who wanted to commit suicide because of his blindness happened to meet a middle school student who was taking care of him. When he went to a different place and planned to enjoy the last moments of his life, the soldier would let the students go, and let the students accompany one more day, and then he said that I was going to kill Charlie. ok? He was so upset by him. In the end, he went to the school to find a sense of presence to help Charlie reverse the case, and talked nonsense in a strange tone of yin and yang, which caused shame of the bad principal, thunderous applause from the students, and admiration of the female teacher to take the initiative to talk. Seriously? ? ? Excuse me, is it a baby romance movie?

    At first, I felt that Al Pacino was playing hard. But after watching it, I think he should act like this. Even the young man O'Donneil was brought to an excellent level by him. Tango, speech. A nearly perfect film.

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.
