Perfume

Well, please give me the name of the movie, although it's a bit weird.

A man who was born in filth but pursues beauty wholeheartedly. It is precisely because of his plug-like nose that he wants to pursue perfection even more... He is like a lonely soul wandering in the world. Few people in the movie really remember him. What impressed me most is his fate like a lone star. It is true that people die every time he leaves a place... When he suddenly discovered one day that he has no smell. At that time, this was undoubtedly a devastating blow to him who had always remembered things by smell. Unfortunately, it seems that all geniuses will perish when they pursue things that ordinary people cannot understand. In the film, he gave me the feeling that he was always catching with his nose, as if he wanted to catch something that was only his own... The final death seemed more like a sacrifice to me

From birth to death, the male protagonist had no one to love him. Just like humans are mainly visual creatures, the male protagonist is a creature mainly based on smell. Since he was born without smell, it cannot prove that he exists in the world. All he does is to find the meaning of life. However, the Supreme Perfume did not bring him hope in life, and he would be in a desperate situation without hope. The dark chaos of the Middle Ages in the 18th century is probably a metaphor for society by the author.

At first I thought there was some great development in the back, but later I thought it was reasonable →_→

It seems to me that what he wants to achieve is taste. Because he has no body odor, he must first prove his existence by brewing perfume. The writer who wrote such a novel is obviously a believer in Sartre's existentialism. I believe he also regretted it in the movie. During the carnival of thousands of people at the execution ground, although everyone was immersed in the secret realm created by the perfume, no one had close contact with him. His expression proved his disappointment, but he thought of the girl selling apricots, and he thought of her asking him if he wanted to buy apricots. At that moment, maybe he discovered that he actually liked or even loved, and that was the only moment that proved his existence. So he chose to go back there and ended his life. People will remember the wonderful perfume, but they will never remember the man who brewed it, except that he is a murderer.

I think the movie version of it changed some of the plot, I think the book made the story more graphic and exciting, and the movie felt like it limited the story.

Well, I accidentally saw this essay. I also love this movie, and after watching it, I regarded Ben Whishaw as a male god. In every aspect, whether it is his amazing acting skills or his appearance, when it comes to the ending of the movie, I have a guess, because the beginning of the movie is the scene where the perfumer is sentenced and the end is indeed the perfumer wearing In the scene where the perfume walks towards its own death, could it be that the ending is actually the destination that the perfumer fantasizes about, and the beginning is his real ending? Maybe he was caught and sentenced to death before he could finish. His innocence and indifference when he was pronounced guilty really moved me [Positive
