really admire director Tom Tykwer, who can explain the true meaning of perfume with such disgusting, dirty, even murder and perversion. I can't stand beside the rotten fish stall, with the stench and dirty sewage and garbage, Jean Grenouille, a genius of smell, struggling to survive like this... living, for him, there is only one Mission, a kind of perverted obsession, walking like a dog with its sense of smell... The
genius of smell, Grenouille, is really a devil who crawled out of hell. With his keen sense of smell, he can easily distinguish objects more than ten kilometers away A woman's body fragrance is more accurate than the current GPRS positioning. It's jaw-dropping... He's the devil when it comes to scents, able to rely on his hands to match the unparalleled fragrances on the market at the time. And all of this, this stupid genius, is not living to make a fortune to gain fame, but to keep the taste of good things forever... The person who gave his initial sense of smell should be the woman who sells fruit in the city. Grenouille was able to absorb the body fragrance emanating from her body greedily and greedily, and could not extricate himself, but he accidentally killed that beautiful woman... The director is really wonderful, using such a perverted method to express such a woman The devil's genius has a crazy appetite for flavor. He stripped her naked, took every inch of the woman's body fragrance deeply with his hands, and then completely plunged himself into... Maybe it was this time that Grenouille understood why he was born and why he lived.
He began to look around, how to keep the moment of youth, forever. He needs to retain the taste of everything in the world, and even obsessively uses distillation to retain the taste of broken copper, rotten iron, glass, and even the big white cat from the master's house... All of this is incredible. The bizarre lens will make your back cool to the end. In order to pursue the most sacred taste in his heart, he really retained it.
In the second half of the film, Grenouille's behavior is gradually out of control and crazy, more and more beautiful virgins are brutally murdered, and the extraction of the essence called oil separation makes the death of these women seem to be an artistic necessity. No rape porn, using horror to reflect beauty is really shocking. Those beautiful women with neatly cut bald hair died beautifully and terribly for his sense of smell...
In any case, "Perfume" is the country I have seen so far. It uses hell to describe heaven, and filth to describe purity and filth. Use horror to describe romantic classics.
Sigh again, France, can make your soul bloom...
