"Perfume" is said to be a banned film, but in my opinion, it's nothing more than a literary film dressed in heavy flavors. My classmate's comment on the expressionless male protagonist from beginning to end is: I don't know why he is so ugly or weak, but he likes it very much. I think he's still pretty handsome, especially when he's staring at the deodorant oil he collects after killing women around...
The narration at the beginning of the film really struck me. Introducing our talented but notorious hero, the narrator says: If his name is forgotten today, it is only because his ambitions are limited to areas that have left no trace in history at all - a fleeting moment The kingdom of fleeting smells. This perfumer with a keen sense of smell has no desires or desires in his life, but has always been obsessed with the collection of smells. For him, each smell is a unique existence of the same thing. The irony is that he himself is a person without smell, so his existence is meaningless to others. Perhaps this is the source of his unique talent. Without the presence of self-smell, he can focus on the unremitting pursuit of all other scents in the world, which is self-forgetfulness and self-compensation.
At the end of the film, the male protagonist uses the perfume he made with the body odor of twelve women to lure out the most primitive desire in the human heart: the people who loudly clamor to give their sins what they deserve, the city of perfume, They have committed the most crazy and lewd crimes from an ordinary moral point of view, because they have a well-developed perfume manufacturing business, live a comfortable and carefree life, and are so-called full of warmth and lust; and Jean's hometown, Paris, which was poor and dirty at the time, Those hungry people ate Rang's flesh and blood. For them, it was something they had to do to survive.
Perfume, after all, is just another substance that carries desire. Women use incense to seduce men. Coco Chanel also said that perfume is a must-have item for a complete woman. The same applies to men. CK is very direct, and his family has launched a men's fragrance called "Temptation".
However, as the narrator in the movie said, smell is a fleeting kingdom, no matter what kind of fragrance is charming, it will disappear one day, just like the so-called love disappears with the wind after desire recedes .
In twenty-one years of life, there is only one bottle of perfume, the name is very greasy, called Love Passport, which is stuffed in the top layer of the storage compartment, so that it is often forgotten that it exists. Inadvertently remembered, took it out and used it. It's an extremely light fragrance, and when I spray it on my body, no one usually notices it except myself. And the smell lasts for a short time, usually used in the morning, and basically gone in the evening. With such a name as a love certificate, it is really difficult to make people have any optimistic associations. This bottle of perfume, more than a year has passed since it was delivered to me, and less than a year has passed since the person who sent it left. What has it witnessed, and what can it prove.
Think of Chen Sheng's concert called "Do you still love me next year?" Tickets are pre-sold one year in advance and only for couples, provided that two people must hold the complete pair of tickets to enter the venue after one year. There were a lot of people who bought tickets, but when the concert officially opened, there were only a handful of people in the audience. At the beginning of every love, someone wrote I will love you till the end of the time with confidence.
Unfortunately, many times, the end of time is not as far away as imagined, and no matter how fragrant the fragrance is, there will be a day when it will disappear without a trace.
