strength in loneliness

Because of TOTO's recommendation, and because of the Al Pacino who once conquered me with his unique acting skills and personal charm in "The Godfather".
"Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" is a film full of humanistic care. Al Pacino played Frank in the film, a reckless, wild and unruly Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army who had a remarkable record in the military. However, he lost the opportunity for promotion because of his personality, and retired because of an accident. From a position that should be said to be highly respected, he has fallen into a position where even his relatives and friends treat him with indifference. Living a lonely, boring and irritable life can be said to have fallen from heaven to hell. The loneliness in his heart is a A silent, hopeless loneliness. When Thanksgiving came, ending his remaining life became the purpose of his trip.
Charlie, a college student employed by Frank, accompanies him on his trip to New York without knowing it. This is these two men, in the two days of living together, from being hired to being hired, to being scolded and being scolded, and then to understanding and caring for each other. Even if he is full of foul language all day long and yells at everyone, this lieutenant colonel has an intoxicating elegance and humanistic care. He let loose himself, enjoyed life, loved women all his life, knew women by smelling the fragrance, and treated women with such a graceful and gentlemanly demeanor, which really impressed me and even more women. The speech at the end of the film, where the film shines, is sincere and tear-jerking.
In fact, no matter how strong a man is, in a certain corner of his heart, he has his own weakness. It's just that people don't know it and don't want to tell others about it. But Frank turned this loneliness into strength and fortitude. Even if he is lonely and forever lonely, he will lose his self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-esteem. He must also let his life accompany women and beauty. That is a kind of beauty in sadness and despair! Rare in the world!
