Story Summary: (without spoiler)

The five senses of man. Odor is as important as hearing and sight. Through which we can perceive the presence of bad smells starting from the perfume.
But according to science, a dog has 5 times more sense of smell than a human (there are different opinions) but what if a person's sense of smell is even stronger than his own? Without seeing what is in the far end can only be understood by smell!

Jan-Baptiste was born with such astonishing olfactory powers.
Some places in Paris were as fragrant or fragrant as some places were unbearably smelly. Jan-Baptiste was born in the fish market of the area. Like other children, his own mother tried to kill him but failed. In the end, his place was in an orphanage.

Jan-Baptist could not speak even at the age of 5 years. After a difficult, exploitative and carefree childhood, he overcame many obstacles and was able to find employment in a perfume shop. Jan returns to that lonely, unprofitable business.
Just as man is thirsty for water, so he is thirsty for fragrance. You want to preserve a certain scent for life.
Perfume? When you hear that word, you can imagine the wonderful fragrance that fills the mind.

But this perfume is terribly portrayed by Patrick Saskind in his book "Perfume". The book is based on the book by director Tom Tyker in 2006. Although the author was initially concerned about the book's good presentation in the movie, Tom Tyker deserves praise for his work.

Personal opinion about the movie:

Cinematography, Costume, Construction, BGM,
The environment, the place were all impeccable. It's like a perfect set of works, just like a bottle of perfume.

The director's portrayal of 18th-century Paris is astounding.
And acting? Everyone's acting was the best. Ban Wisho has shown his acting skills well in his first movie. An unknown boy brought from England will play such a character! .
Plot? Best ending with Dark Thrill from the start.
Exceptional interesting plot again such an unimaginable twist at the end.
Feel free to join one of the best movies in the world.

Warning: There are lots of 18+ scenes to keep up with the story.

Thanks for reading.

One of the things I liked most about this film was undoubtedly the performances, I think they were its strong point, especially the performance of the legendary Alan Rickman, however, as an adaptation of the novel by Patrick Suskind I thought it was a bit due, there were several things that were different and I would have liked them to delve into the ability of Jean-Baptiste As much as Suskind does in the book.

I still thought it was a good film, although the source material to my taste is far superior in comparison.

Best regards 🤗

This movie is great!
I saw the movie and read the book afterwards.
The book is a gem, it has an excellent story, it has a satirical narrative that makes some things ironic and funny even though the matter is not funny at all.
It is true that the book and the movie have some different events, but they always have the same ending and the important aspects follow the book faithfully.
The movie was so well made that it was able to capture the gist and irony of the book even though several events were changed to fit it into a movie, but the details of the movie's production like the dirt on the clothes, the portrayal of society and its social classes, and the great performances of the actors, the details of the scenarios, the soundtrack, almost just by watching the movie you could feel all the bad smell of the environment, made it an excellent movie.

Highly recommend both the book and the movie 😎.
