Some viewers are puzzled by the protagonist's suicide after watching the film. As everyone knows, the character image created by the film has his own integrity, and the development of the film's story follows its own "rules of the game." In the specific art world created by the director, Grenoye has his own destiny and destination.
Recalling Greno’s life carefully, his tragic fate seems to have been doomed at the beginning of the film: he was abandoned by his mother at birth and lost his mother’s love, and he was devastated in the process of growing up and unable to get others. Caring. Poor Grenoye has been longing for existence and love all his life. Although he has a unique perfume in the world that can make people lose heart, he cannot be loved and loved like ordinary people. What is the meaning of conquering the world? When his goal is achieved, his mission to come to this world is also completed. Therefore, the protagonist's suicide is in line with the reality of the art world created by the director, and it is in line with the truth of the matter. (by) 
The most dramatic thing is that the protagonist of the film, Grenoye, is a person with no smell, no smell, no morality, no love, no good and evil. He is a "blunt" person, and he can't even be called a person. He is between human and inhuman, emotional and non-emotional, moral and immoral, but he seems to have love again. He uses the human body to make perfumes, completely without moral concepts, annihilating human nature. When he first saw a girl selling yellow peaches, he was attracted by the girl's smell, and then had vague and dirty feelings. At this time, he was still somewhat human. But then Grenoye killed the girl by mistake, leaving the girl with no smell, so he made up his mind to learn how to keep the smell of people, and keep it forever. In the scene on the execution platform, when he conquered everyone, he thought of the girl selling yellow peaches that made him emotional when he first entered the society, and then shed tears. He seemed to have emotions and humanity again. In the faint, self-contradictory, his humanity, his emotions, flicker from time to time. ()

    "Everyone comes with love, and everyone has love, but why are we still afraid of breaking up and losing? It turns out that it's not that we're afraid of losing our love, but that we're afraid that the love we once had can't find the proof of its existence."

    Tom Tykwer's cinematic attempt to convey the sense of smell is impressive. The picture has a classic texture and tone, and it does a good job, but the director who started with postmodern styles such as "Lola Run" is indulged in the classical and delicate scenes here and forgets that the plot is too straightforward, which makes the movie appear to be too plain in many times. The pace is slow and I can't get my energy up, just like taking the square steps of a Peking Opera veteran in real life. And the long foreshadowing of flashbacks does bring an unexpected climax of horror: sexual desire reigns in the world, hatred of religious morality, etc. all give way to sensual pleasure.

  • Narrator: In the period of which we speak, there reigned in the cities a stench barely conceivable to us modern men and women. Naturally, the stench was foulest in Paris, for Paris was the largest city in Europe. And nowhere in Paris was that stench more profoundly repugnant than in the city's fish-market. It was here then, on the most putrid spot in the whole kingdom, that Jean-Baptiste Grenouille was born on the 17th of July, 1738. It was his mother's fifth birth: she delivered them all here under her fish-stand, and all had been stillbirths or semi-stillbirths. And by evening the whole mess had been shoveled away with the fish-guts into the river. It would be much the same today, but then... Jean-Baptiste chose differently.
