"Scent of a Woman" is a classic film produced by the famous director Martin Brest in 1992. The film is starred by the famous actor Al Pacino and Chris O'Donnell. His excellent lens scheduling and deep humanistic care won four nominations for the 65th Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Director, and AI Pacino was finally awarded the best actor. The film tells that in a school, several students teased the principal, but no one dared to admit it. Unfortunately, Charlie witnessed the whole process. The principal threatened him to say that if he did not say which student was. If he did not say anything, he would be punished and even set up a trial court to prepare for the trial of Charlie and another student. With trouble, Charlie came to the position of Lieutenant Colonel Frank's house.
The lieutenant colonel was the aide of President Linden Baines Johnson. After many wars and tribulations, he was unfortunately bombed in an accident. Frank came to Paris with Charlie and enjoyed a variety of happy lives. After all this was over, he was ready to shoot his own life, but was touched by Charlie and stopped suicide. Later, he came to the trial court and defeated the principal through a passionate speech, helping Charlie. The film story is simple but profound.
The film selects two very different people in a special event clue, which makes them influence each other and makes the ordinary life shine with beautiful brilliance. This is the mature skill that the director has timed and tested. The wonderful reflection of "Scent of a Women" is reflected in the intricate structure of the story. The director's concrete portrayal of humanity and the most sincere and pure part of the personality excavate and praise, making it a real kind in the film. The texture of modern life is showed in this movie. Through this unique technology, the film director makes every intersection of emotions precious, and the audience naturally indulges in the emotions accumulated by the story. The film collides different clues in parallel narration to make them naturally intertwined and eventually merge into one.

Oscar-winning Al Pacino succeeded in shaping the image of a sensitive and irritating but honest and intimate retired officer. In the movie, Frank is not only visually blind, but also spiritually dark. On the surface, he is a grumpy and weird character. In fact, due to his blindness, he is a marginal person in society. He can't find the meaning of existence. He is trapped in his own world, and can't extricate himself, and even has a very negative view of himself. The film's introverted depiction of the character's inner heart vividly reveals the abomination and despair of Frank's psychological predicament, which are love and justice, and his inner desire for life. The film gives the character a real life and takes the film to a new level and height.
It can be said that "Scent of a Women" successfully demonstrated the director's multi-level thinking about human nature, justice, morality and life. The source of these ideas is not limited to a single event. However by analyzing the protagonist's psychological personality, he has the ability to judge and solve the ability and a high degree of humanity. He can understand the justice, humanity and morality of life just like judging a woman's smell. The director vividly interprets the personality of the film's protagonist through the classic tango dance. Throughout the whole work, the film "Scent of a Women" is a true portrayal of American society at that time. It is like a kaleidoscope that allows people to understand the essence of many lives. The director spent more than two hours, using the classic bridges such as encounter encounters and tango dances to show the individual's life from desperation to hope. It can be said that this film is not limited to the story between two men or men and women. It profoundly reflects the charm of life philosophy. The film conveys a universal, simple but very necessary life. I have to say that this film is worthy of an excellent work that is famous for its film history, both in terms of artistic methods and main connotations.
My Score is 7.9
