Some people compare Robert DeNiro with Tony Leung, who are both absolute representatives of the method school, and there is almost no trace of what they act like. In this way, I think AI Pacino can be compared with Tony Leung. It is very personal and has a strong personal style. The play is not narrow but there are still limitations. You will feel that he is indispensable for some roles. Interestingly, according to legend, the ideal candidate for the Scent of a Woman crew was Jack Nicholson at the beginning. Just imagine, if the colonel was less stern, handsome, and more cunning and charming, what kind of impression would it be?
Not long after the film started, AI appeared in an extremely domineering way. This kind of domineering has nothing to do with posture, or even expressions. It just showed an actor's line skills to the best of his ability. Playing a disability as a able-bodied person is a yardstick. According to legend, the AI spent two weeks observing the behavior of blind people before filming began. Therefore, at the beginning of the film, the person we saw tremblingly picked up the bottle and poured the wine was no longer an AI, but an old colonel who was dying.
There are two climaxes in the film, one is the tango dance and the other is the school speech.
Tango clips are called absolute classics of film history. There are tango clips in "True Lies", "Spontaneity" and "Leading the Trend", and some even use the same song - por una cabeza, but Frank and Donna are the only ones. left the deepest impression on us. If you rewatch the film, it is not difficult to find that the heroine's expression has undergone many subtle changes from the beginning to the end. Dance music, dance and the demeanor of the characters constitute an expression that goes beyond the lines. Just like all the fighting scenes in "The Grandmaster" or "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are emotional scenes, the dance in the film perfectly conveys the emotion and atmosphere at that time.
It is worth mentioning that when ordering, the colonel ordered a Shirley Temple for Charlie, a mocktail often ordered by women, and Charlie just shyly asked for Beer. This small clip can be used as an entry point to spy on the relationship between F and C, that is, in what form did they live in peace?
The final speech is a logical culmination after many small climaxes (counting tango, car ride, going to my brother's house, suicide...). But it has to be said that whether you choose to confess or keep your mouth shut, the key point is freedom of choice. Many people think that this is brotherhood, which will inevitably lead to the opposite view, that is, honesty is justice. Only by viewing both choices as the free choice of a free individual in a dilemma can we understand the core of the Colonel's speech - don't expect to use coercion and inducement to affect my freedom. This is a mighty force that cannot be subdued.
The title of the film has only become a clue to the film, interspersed in the details.
The first taste, the flight attendant "Daphne" on the plane, Floris' style is rigorous and restrained, and at the same time learns the British accent (personally thinks that sentence can be heard surely), reflecting the style of a well-educated woman.
The second scent, the one mentioned in the family reunion, expressed her "dissatisfaction" with a strong Misuki perfume and was being told by Frank.
The third taste is probably the climax that everyone will remember even after watching it once. Yep, that tango. But instead of perfume, Dana uses soap, from Ogilvie Sisters soap. A girl should have such a faint and even slightly shy taste.
The fourth flavor, the political teacher of Baird school, book of flowers, listening to the name is like the gurgling stream of water, clear and comfortable without oppression, but at the same time without losing the mature charm. (The four flavors are quoted from a close friend, but I have not been able to find out who it is)
More importantly, we should understand that smelling a woman to know a woman is a formal metaphor. It is the external manifestation of the Colonel's keen insight. In fact, it was the Colonel who could judge the core of a person based on seemingly trivial details. This is also the reason why he and Charlie have been dating for a long time. He is sharp, courageous, experienced vicissitudes of life, extremely talented, and has been ruined by some small faults for half his life. Why can he admire Charlie? This can't help but remind me of Mu Xin's excitement after meeting Chen Danqing - but who can they be considered confidants?
Years later, charlie sat by the fireplace and played with the snow blowing outside the window, murmured, "I thought I was different from Frank, but now I know that when I'm lonely, everyone is the same."
Wait, why didn't I say Knowing how a person can hold up a play, I just think it will be clear after you finish watching it.
