You love a woman

"Scent of woman, 1992" (Martin Brest)

Por Una Cabeza appeared in all three films, showing people's fascination with this Tango song. And this is the first time I really watched one of these films, this film about the value, dignity, taste, and meaning of life of a man.

Compared with the affectionate friendship in the film, what impresses me more is the meaning of the film's title - the fragrance of a woman.

This is not a film about women. Leaving aside the fleeting female characters, there are only three women in the front of the film, the colonel's daughter, the blonde in the dining room, and the female teacher who speaks to the colonel at the end.

But as a woman, I was fascinated by it. Taste a woman from a man's point of view, and feel pleasure and beauty from a woman's point of view.

The old, blind colonel makes his final trip with a ceremonial mentality, driving a Ferrari, staying in a luxury hotel, wearing a tailored suit, and going to a fancy restaurant. . He asked for the most extreme pleasure, he wanted to meet his woman in a radiant manner, and then make love to her.

Who else can commit suicide with such grace and magnanimity as him!

The Colonel's remarks to charli on the plane are very interesting. Although it is a little yellow, it is very humorous~

" woman..what can i say! who made them! God is a fucking genius! " (Charle looked at him inexplicably)

Hair...they say hair is everything of them. have you ever bury your nose in amount of curl, just want to sleep forever?

Or lips. when you touch it, just like swallow a wine after cross the desert.

breast! big ones, little ones, nipples stare right there on you like Searching light. (Charle is helpless)

legs! I don't care if they great columns or second hand styles, what between them...is a passport to the heaven..."

(I can't translate it correctly, thanks bo for your friendship, but the original text of "chest" is not breast, we can't hear it, it should be a slang term)

Colonel loves women, he knows how to appreciate a woman, even if she is He could also smell the women who passed by, what kind of perfume they were using. For him, women were beautiful and beautiful, and every woman shone with her value. He even felt that only they were It's the most nostalgic and obsessive he's ever had in the world.

The Colonel's dialogue with the blond is just as good in the classic Tango sequence:

so Dana, do you tango?

no...I want to learn once, but Michael did't want to.

Michael! the one you're waiting for.

Michael thinks the tango is hysterical.

well, I think Michael is hysterical.

Would you like to leant to tango Dana?

right now?

I'm offer you my services, free charge. what do you think?

...all right, I'll try...

The music of Por Una Cabeza starts slowly. Tango dance, the dance that best illustrates the relationship between the sexes! It's sex, it's entanglement, lingering, passion! Different from any kind of dance, it can never be done alone. It is the most private space and the most secret connection between the sexes.

The relationship between the sexes can also be best interpreted from tango. I can see that my whole body is hot~

The Colonel is frank about his follow and love of women. He enjoys women, loves them, and is also favored by them.

A burst of sighs emerged from the bottom of my heart, as if I was truly appreciated, savored, and adored. This joy made me radiant and refreshed. What do women dress up for? incense? For his own celestial appearance, for the taste of life, for more eyes, and for the most mysterious emotion in the world - love.

When Al Pacino's blind colonel dances with the blonde, I see the most handsome man in the world.

    Adapted from an Italian novel. Personally think that the movie is better than the original. Starring Al Pacino with outstanding acting skills. A tango, a speech, are both impressive.

    "Every time I come to a crossroad in my life, I know which is the right path. But I never take it because I know it's too hard. The path of principles is reserved for those who have courage. I went for a walk." "But life is like dancing the tango, it doesn't matter if you take the wrong step, just take the next step."
