nonsense about movies

It's been nearly a month since I bought "Perfume", and I just finished reading it. Because even with the metaphors of artistic genius and mass society, this movie is one of those grotesque genres that I don't like—and it's set in an age of messy, hairy hair. But for Suskind's original work, He Caitou said, "Smell is the door to human memory", which is true.
Because I had just returned from outside, the gardener was watering the lawn, the grounds were full of water, and the air smelled as if it had just rained. This smell seemed to me to come from a long-lost, hot, dry summer afternoon many years ago—when I was in my early 10s, walking through the garden next to my house under the scorching sun, there was a sudden thunder and lightning, accompanied by This is what the showers smell like. It hasn't rained for nearly a year since I came to Beijing, and the summer in Wuhan is too hot and humid. The smell of this hay is very long.
Thirteen years ago, Xin Xiaoqi's "Taste" was sung on the streets. I didn't smoke at that time, and I couldn't understand the smell of smoke in the sentence "I miss your kiss/and the faint smell of tobacco on my fingers". It's just that Realizing that smoking actually has such a magical effect can make the woman who leaves you remember it.
It is said that the part of the human brain that controls the sense of smell is also closely related to the human memory process. Al Pacino can smell the fragrance and know women, and a good chef also refuses to abuse his girlfriend's cosmetics. In this era when vision and hearing are forcibly occupied, it is a blessing to have his own scent in his memory. pieces.
For the film itself, it is not easy to express the smell with rich colors and detailed objects. The Woodstock-style carnival brought by the perfume is also wonderful enough. In addition, the film can finally remind everyone that apart from the images and music , there are more things in the world worth noting.
The weird thing about this year is that the original great and best-selling text has to wait for a movie to be known before it becomes known. I can't imagine if "Perfume" is a bad movie, the original book is still in this period of time. Will it sell so well?

    It feels a bit bland~ Although the stories are very famous~ I feel that the movie does not fully express the essence~ However, overall, it is still a good movie~

    Tom Tykwer's masterpiece. 1. A large number of beautiful and dreamy audio-visual language collages are used to present the wonderful world described by Suskind. Colors, sounds, and pictures are all important factors for simulating smells to express the "smell" of the characters and build the audience's perception. 2. Close-up storyboards and outdoor medium and long-range transitions. 3. From dissolution, distillation to oil extraction, Ge Nuyi spent his whole life in pursuit of the mystery of the perfume manufacturing process, and all the beauty in the world passed him by. After living in isolation, he returned to the secular world, and when he stood on the top of the crowd, he saw the fusion of human beings' true love and desire. He finally realized everything, returned to the place where all sins began, and ended his tragic life by satisfying the primitive desires of mankind. So grotesque, yet so romantic. Compared with the loss of love, Ge Nuyi is more afraid of losing the proof that love once existed. 4. Fragrant but not erotic, killing but not bloody. We are in purgatory, but we always imagine bathing in the fairy source, as if we were born in a fish stall with a rose-colored fragrance, and we pursue a pure paradise that does not belong to us.
