It's not about women, it's about the soul

Watch the full movie in anticipation of the stunning woman whose name appears. Although the woman only appeared for a while, this film still deeply shocked me.
"At my age, I already know what the right path is, but it's too hard to stick to the right path." Most of us do too. We choose a seemingly convenient path to walk, and we walk around for everyone to see On the road to success, even if the mind is full of dust. The young mind is not polluted, and the pure boy still insisted on his principle at the last moment, facing the background of the abandonment of almost everyone. Movies express the scarcity or invaluable spirit of human beings, so the boys persevered. However, in the face of reality, how many people can persevere? Even I was thinking while watching the movie, whether to say it or not, I would be shaken as an outsider, let alone the person involved.
I like those old men with distinct personalities and grumpy tempers in the movie. Although they look a little frightened, the tension of this drama will make you see his deep soul under the exaggerated expression. They always have a sensitive and kind-hearted soul. The heart always uses arrogant behavior to cover up its fragility, and the characters that people love and hate are profound.
PS: The overall feeling of the movie is a bit lengthy, and two and a half hours can be edited into two hours.

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.
