Shang, the son of a fishmonger, was born in the smelliest fish market in Paris and grew up in an orphanage. He has an extraordinary sense of smell, warm wood, icy water, underwater frogs and underwater rocks will all become the objects of his sense of smell. His sense of smell was so acute that the tiniest human word could not exhaust his experience. When he finally meets a girl on a dirty and lowly street, he understands the meaning of his existence: to extract and retain beautiful scents.
The world's top luxury goods are struggling to put gold in their faces, and they like to kidnap history and culture. All the pretentious products are eager to give customers who are in desperate need of culture to decorate their facades, so that they can use money to buy the pleasure of "accent". At the beginning, I thought that this movie is just such a tube of artificial chicken blood, or, ironically, material desire squeezes people, but soon I found myself wrong, perfume is just a metaphor, or a At the starting point, in the distance, unexpected beauty is waiting for the dazed traveler.
Shang was a very fanatical genius, and when he identified an ideal, all he did was swagger and move forward. To this end, he does not take into account the environment in which he is located, and can even ignore the objectively existing world. He has no family, no friendship, and no love. Fragrance is his belief. In order to get the top fragrance, he even uses the most beautiful girl in the world as an extract. In his eyes, a beautiful girl, like a cat or even a rose, is nothing but a material component, and he believes in mechanical materialism. But this kind of world view has not appeared in history. If we think a little more, we can even cite many shocking historical facts.
Compared to Shang, starting from his mother, all the people he met were vulgar, useless and betrayed him. Even Baldini, who was famous for making perfumes, the only old man who gave him affirmation and warmth, was helplessly living with the flow. The world hates Shang, and he ignores the world. However, a high-level animal like "human" always seeks a certain belief, and this lack of emotion allows him to focus on the pursuit and study of "art".
The narrator of the story has an almost untraceable look down upon the ignorant public. Among all the people, there is only the heroine's father, the squire, who can be said to be one of the few sober people, but his sobriety is still no match for everyone's fanaticism and stupidity. The city of Grasse, the origin of perfume, is really like a utopia in a fable, and like the famous French absurd drama "Rhino." You can't stay awake when all the inhabitants turn into rhinos and run away night after night, even running away. The most frenzied event occurred, when the evil and beautiful anti-human fascination with the fragrance of the girl's essential oils appeared in front of the public, and all the residents were ecstatic and ecstatic about it. When the residents swayed their lust in the frenzy, Shang left, leaving everyone with the embarrassment and confusion of waking up from a nightmare. In order to fight against it, the residents chose to forget and use a ghost to ease everyone's embarrassment, so that everyone can shake off their anxiety and doubts, and live peacefully and peacefully.
What awakens Shang is human nature and human affection. When he finally reached the pinnacle of technology and Dugu sought defeat, he began to look back at his own heart. If, when the girl he met for the first time, he fell in love with her, instead of rudely letting her die meaninglessly, would he have embarked on an ordinary but happy life path? In other words, he began to think, when all the good feelings of human beings have never been possessed, even if he has the most beautiful scenery, the most sophisticated technology, and the most advanced enjoyment, will he feel happy and happy? Shang has surpassed the goal of life for ordinary people. He conquered everyone with perfume. If he wanted, he could even conquer the king of Paris, and even the whole world. Fortunately, he was defeated by himself with a trace of kindness. In other words, he was defeated by the invincible human nature.
Shang started from the dirty fish market and finally left in the dirty fish market. He conquered with perfume, and eventually died in the products he made. It is no wonder that some people say that this story is a complete satire of Hitler.
The way it disappeared was really weird. The Germans are really awesome. They told a story that climaxed one after another. At the most prosperous and gorgeous moment, they turned around and stopped.
