Scent of a women 闻香识女人 英文版观后感 影评.docxVIP

Scent of a WomanWhat I found was a riveting story of mentor-mentee relationship. Although the master is not Mr. Perfect himself. But both the student and the teacher learn from each others weaknesses.Its a heartwarming tale of opposites attracting when they spend a wild weekend trip in New York that will change the lives of both men forever. This is truly a classic for the ages. Scent of a Woman won the Oscar award. The tango scene, the Ferrari scene, the speech scene are excellent. Of course the primary reason it succeeds is Al Pacino, whose Oscar was well-deserved, needless to say.As the blind, blunt, and ultimately benevolent retired Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade, who through a stupid accident looses his sight and his way ,of life.However,he is quite the charmer and gentlemen. Hes cultured, genteel and surprisingly knowledgeable about womens perfume.Slade is wholly believable, and although at first he seems overly gruff and nasty, we grow to sympathize with him--especially when that Randy insults him cruelly at Thanksgiving. Its obvious that while Slade acts like he doesnt care, his repetitious hoo-ha response makes it obvious he does.Slade has his own plans for Thanksgiving. A last big blowout in New York before killing himself.When Slade finally decides to kill himself, Charlie manages to save his life. “If youre tangled up, just tango on.”Charlie has problems of his own. Hes not particularly self-confident and Slade is tremendously intimidating. Charlies other problems is an incident at school which places him at a crossroads -- whether he should rat on some kids at school at the headmasters own brand of intimidation, or face expulsion.Slade sees an underlying goodness in Charlie fragile character. Like most young men his age, he was susceptible to peer pressure and could easily choose the wrong path as his friends had. Slade is blind but easily sees the temptation to compromise the boys integrity and future. This old bat has sharper radar than the Nautilus.
