《闻香识女人》的英文影评
The Scent of a Woman is the kind of film that many would think belongs to a bygone era.While it is frank and contemporary without sugar coating it illustrates the value of character over glitz and how small acts can have long lasting consequences.The film pits two characters who are diametrical opposites.Al Pacino plays the world weary retired Army Lt.Colonel who through a stupid accident looses his sight and his way of life.Chris Donnelly is a young prep school kid on a scholarship whose way of life may be coming to an end owing to the acts of richer kids at the exclusive prep school who pull a stupid stunt.The blind Lt.Colonel needs an escort so that he can go to NYC and have a rip roaring time before he makes a fateful decision.The poor preppy needs to earn a few bucks to travel and is in desperate need of some advice on how to get through his crisis at school.The interplay between the two characters is mind boggling.It is more riveting than the best Grisham novel.Both characters are asked to make life and death decisions that call for them to reach deep into their inner core.The right decision is unhappily the tougher decision to make.Two terrific scenes that are not to be mied.The first is in the New York ballroom where the blind Lt.Colonel teaches the actre Mi Anwar to dance the tango.It is so smooth and dramatic that even a couch potato is tempted to reach for the Yellow Pages in search of dance leons.The second and most profound is the speech that Al Pacino makes in defense of Chris Donnelly at the prep school disciplinary hearing.It has to go down as one of the great orations of all times.The Scent of a Woman is very satisfying on many levels.The character development is superb, dialogue terrific, glamorous locations and a story line that requires the characters to show themselves to be the people they really are.The film has a lot of funny lines and great drama.(ZZ from IMDB)
Film Review
By Frederic and Mary Ann Bruat
Scent of a Woman
Directed by Martin Brest
Universal Studios Home Video 01/93 DVD/VHS Feature Film
Rand potentially physically dangerousunfettered, unforced, and highly enjoyable.Unfortunately, considering how sound the bulk of the picture is, the final moments, with their overt pandering to a Hollywood-style ending, are a severe liability.Certainly, such “triumphs” are fun to watch, but they cheapen Scent of a Woman.Would it have cost the production team that much to inject a little realism into the film's last reel?
The movie is as long as its storyline demands.It doesn't seem like two and one-half hours, and le time with these characters would have cheated the audience.Aided by an emotive score from Thomas Newman, the picture has opportunities to soar.Hampered by the script's limitations, however, Scent of a Woman falls short of being a masterful production
There are few films that I consider to be truly great.I don't mean 'great' in the pedestrian sense of “that's great.” I'm talking “true greatne.”
Scent of a Woman has true greatne.It has everything that a timele claic should have.Unforgettable characters, superb acting, a script that is profound and moving;heartwarming at times and heartrending at others.Music that accents each moment perfectly and is never obtrusive.Scenes that are so perfectly directed and edited and imbued with such powerful emotions that they leave indelible impreions on the mind and heart.Scent of a Woman revolves around two main characters: Lieutenant Colonel Frank R.Slade(played by Al Pacino)and prep school student Charlie Simms(played by Chris O'Donnel.)
Take a moment to step into the internal world of Col.Frank Slade.Take a look around.See anything? You won't, because Col.Slade is blind.His sight was taken from in in a freak accident some five years before.Col.Slade is a man accustomed to power, to barking orders and taking charge in every situation.Even in his prime, he was impoible to live with.Now, years later, he's blind, “handicapped”, and living at the behest of others.He has not adjusted gracefully to this setback.Now meet Charlie Simms.Charlie is an honor student attending Baird prep school.Unlike the other Baird boys, his family is not wealthy, so he's on financial aid.He's a quiet, introspective and kindhearted young man.He's also very intelligent.He needs an easy weekend job to make some extra money.He see's an ad to housesit a disabled man over the weekend, so he investigates it.The man in need of sitting is Col.Slade, of course.Charlie's first encounter with the Colonel is a memorable one, as the Colonel gives him firsthand experience of what a military “dreing down” is like delivered at an extremely loud volume.Charlie is obviously a bit put off by this, but the Colonel's family and caretakers plead with him, so he takes the job.Little does he realize that Col.Slade has his own plans, and they don't involve sitting around being baby sat.Once his family leaves, Col.Slade bullies Charlie into accompanying him on a flight to New York by sheer force of his personality.Charlie attempts to resist, but he is simply outmanuevered by the wiley Col.Slade.Col Slade explains to Charlie that he going to New York to take “a little tour of pleasures” that he has been denied by his condition.With much persuasion, Charlie finally agrees to go.Charlie's first impreion of Col.Slade is that he is loud, crude, egotistical and highly antagonistic.But as Charlie helps the Colonel navigate from one first cla New York locale to another, he and
the Colonel gradually develop a strong mutual respect.Over time, he discovers that the Colonel does have a heart, and can in fact be very charming(especially if there's a lady around.)
But despite this, Charley has not seen the worst yet.Eventually, he must confront the Colonel's most deeply hidden fears and outrage concerning his inability to function as he once did.This moment in the movie is *charged* with emotion as both Pacino and O'Donnel deliver riveting performances.In fact, there are so many standout performances in this movie that the Motion Picture Aociation should slap it with an anti-trust suit;)
Another thing this film does exceptionally well is balance the characters of Frank Slade and Charlie Simms.Slade is an outspoken, overbearing bully who has grown weary of the world and with his own failures.Charlie is an earnest and kindly young man who believes that all mistakes can be made right.When they first meet, it seems clear that there is a major power imbalance, with Col.Slade brutally running over Charlie's quiet protestations.But as these two get to know one another better, it becomes clear to both the viewer and to Col.Slade that Charlie poees great strength, but it is a quieter strength than the Colonels.It is the strength of true integrity and conviction.There are many beautiful scenes where these two men discover profound truths about themselves and each other as a result of their conflicts.Scent of a Woman is a rare and beautiful movie.It's a movie about how one man is lost in despair, and how a younger man helps him find his way.There are so many outstanding aspects to this movie that I could go on for pages, but instead I'll just ask you to watch it.Prepare to be amazed.穿帮镜头
·西门斯和斯莱德在公寓见面的时候，斯莱德的酒杯和酒瓶里的威士忌在反复变化。·西门斯和斯莱德去纽约时，斯莱德的领带一会是直的，一会是弯的。在自杀那场戏中也《闻香识女人》剧照（1）(17张)是。·在探戈戏中，唐娜的耳环在某些镜头中不见了。·斯莱德开法拉利时车身上能看见工作人员的影子。·斯莱德跟拜尔德的政治老师说话时，镜头反射在斯莱德的太阳镜上。·唐娜和弗兰克低身跳探戈时，可以看见上方的扩音器。·纽瓦克机场被洛根机场替代了。·Trask在斯莱德的演讲结束后落下木槌的场景中，声画出现了错位。木槌的声音比木槌击打的画面多了几次。·当斯莱德被威胁向查理开枪时，他的领带位置变换了好几次，先是斜着，再是偏向右边，然后变直。·原本系在Trask先生汽车上方的气球总数，与他弄破的那些气球，及剩余的气球总数不一致。·弗兰克过街并摔倒在地，查理扶他站起的那个场景里，起初查理并没有手握拐杖，但当他data-layout=“hangright”扶起弗兰克后，拐杖神奇般地出现在了他的手里。·在经典的探戈舞片段里，钢琴和弦无比优美，但是作为背景的钢琴旁却没有演奏者。·在影片中有很多次斯莱德都手握一把0.45厘米口径的手枪，而从剧情看这把枪应该是隶属于编号为M1911A1部队的。但这把枪湖蓝色与白色相间，并且在木质抓柄上还有个圆形浮雕，从这些特质来看，这把枪都只是M1911A1部队里一般级别的士官所配具的。·在片中，斯莱德曾经严厉地批评过查理，按照军队惯例，不能够把0.45口径的枪叫做“枪”，而应该称之为“武器”或者“行头”，但没过多久，斯莱德自己也称这把枪为“枪”，而非“武器”。·影片中斯莱德向查理解释军队标准的敬礼姿势时说道右手应该定位在发际线的位置，但是按照他的解释作出来的姿势十分滑稽。而正确的敬礼姿势右手的位置应该是接近右眼或者在右眼的上方。此外，正确的军礼姿势，应该抬右臂
