You can't really save anything
This is a genius story. Generally speaking, as long as it is a story of genius, it will inevitably end in tragedy, whether it is "The Pianist at Sea 1900" or the protagonist with a sharp nose like a dog. "France" in that era, as written in the book, was actually very filthy. It seemed that the...

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.

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer quotes

Giuseppe Baldini: Talent means next to nothing, while experience acquired in humility and hard work means everything.

Giuseppe Baldini: Now pay attention to what I tell you. Just like a musical chord, a perfume chord contains four essences, or notes, carefully selected for their harmonic affinity. Each perfume contains three chords: the head, the heart and the base, necessitating 12 notes in all. The head chord contains the first impression, lasting a few minutes before giving way to the heart chord, the theme of the perfume, lasting several hours. Finally, the base chord, the trail of the perfume lasting several days.
Giuseppe Baldini: Mind you, the Egyptians believed that one can only create a truly original perfume by adding an extra note, one final essence that will ring out and dominate the others. Legend had it that an amphora was once found in a pharaoh's tomb, and when it was opened, a perfume was released, after all those thousands of years, a perfume of such subtle beauty, and yet such power, that for one single moment every person on earth believed they were in paradise. 12 essences could be identified, but the 13th, the vital one, could never be determined.
