In the book, this is the point that all his work has been meaningless, he created this scent to make humanity love and worship him as a God, but he realises now that he does not want to be worshipped by humanity, he hates them, he wants to banish them from the earth. The sex scene with Laura isn't mentioned in the book either, in the book he is in love with her scent, in no shape or form her as a human being, the same with the other 24 virgins.
El ritmo en el montaje marca un tempo perfecto para la economía interpretativa. Qué peso el de la emoción aplastante, imposible de expresar... y todo regado con una música que pone los pelos de punta. Gran momento en la historia de los sentidos.
@Ainara4159 He wasn't remembering making love with her, he was imaging something he should have done.
He thought his gift and the invention (which is the perfume itself) is useless as it turned him into a non-regular guy who doesn't care for things that normal people care for like love. (scene & track name is: lost love)
So this gift and the perfume as well are curses, thus he decided to suicide at the end.
@Ainara4159 he love the girl whom you called red head..because of being obsessed with the scent of that girl he killed almost every woman in town just to make a perfume same with the scent of that girl but he couldn't do it and so he decide to kill the girl he love that's why his crying when he remembered the time they had sex
As he saw hundreds of humans fell in pure love and share it by giving themselves to each other, Jean Baptiste Grenouille realised that, though he controlled their love, he would never be able to feel such a happiness as in the people around him...
Well, there are many ways to think of this scene as. Personally, I'd rather believe that he realized that he destroyed something that could mean the world to him. So that, he could find love and be loved. And maybe, just maybe he could have lived a better life. Though that is just one opinion of mine :P
Eventually, 100 thousand visitors have viewed this masterpiece. May even more find their way to this excellent adaptation of one of the most moving scenes in literature and movie-making (In my opinion) in the future :)
'Lost Love' aka 'He would have loved right now to have exterminated these people from the earth, every stupid, stinking, eroticized one of them, just as he had once exterminated alien odours from the world of his raven-black soul. And he wanted them to realize how much he hated them and for them, realizing that it was the only emotion that he had ever truly felt, to return that hate and exterminate him just as they had originally intended.' Anyone who agrees with @candiddidnac should go read it.
when I'm watching this...aww can't believe I was in barcelona and saw the place where they filmed it :) my friends told me when I stood there and I just freaked out
He realized how that to love you don't need to posess. He had to have and he didn't know how to have except by killing. He wanted the scent for himself, he didn't smell of nothing... just as he had never been loved. He realized he could have given love.
grenouille didn't fell in love with anyone. in the book the author describes that he only recognized the scents of the people an didn't really realize how they look or live like. he even forgot the young girl as person right after he killed her and only remembered her scent. the kill also did not happen by accident.
generally grenouille was much more abnormal as shown in the movie.
it does not reflect the content of the book in it's original form. it's much more hollywood and succes-oriented.
So here I am on YouTube just minding my own beeswax and my grandma came and at 1:06 she decides to look at my laptop. She says What the f*** and drops all the plates on the floor. Morial of the story: FUCK OFF WITH ALL THE NAKED GANGBANGS EXPECTIALLY IF THERE IS WAY MORE GUYS THAN WOMAN.
In this movie, i think the main metaphor is: LOVE = SMELL. Grenouille lack of smell, and love. He tries desperately to reconstruct the smell of the girls he loved, but when he finnally makes it, he realises that it was just smell, not real love.
@PezunaProducciones El libro lo explica mejor y grenouille en ningun momento siente amor por las mujeres, solo por los olores. Se suicida porque aun con el perfume el no encajaba en el mundo si mal no recuerdo.
bei diesem Soundtrack kann man richtig spüren, wie sehr es ihn schmerzt, sie verloren zu haben...hätte er nur so gehandelt...mein absoluter Lieblingsfilm!!
dem buch nach schmerzt ihn das eigentlich herzlich wenig, sie verloren zu haben, weil er sowas wie liebe ja nicht empfindet. da find ichs eigentlich gar nicht gut, dass im film nach dem motto: 'eigentlich war der jb grenouille ja ein lieber', so auf die tränendrüse gedrückt wird. weil dadurch verliert die ganze geschichte an aussage. glaub ich.
he really inlove with this girl (when he completed with his perfum)... but not her smell,,, and he want to preserve the scent of this girl so that he will not forget this girl in her life..
What baffeled me the most is the acting! The performence of the main charactar is just astounding! When he first heard smell couldn't be captured you can feel the pain in his heart. The little details like a twitching cheek for example he puts in his performence realy impressed me. I'd like to see more of his work. Thumbs up if you agree.
yes this is an emotional scene to me too...when i first saw this scene i was like...' Ah poor guy, he realized that he like her and he just wanted love' i kinda teared up when i first saw this scene
The movie is better then the book. In the book Grenouille is a heartless man, who didn't want to die because he couldn't find love, but just because he couldn't live in this world. He never loved this girl in the book, not at the beginning and not at the end. He also has never seen Laure's face, he just wanted her smell. He did not care for her.
@MrPinker911 Well I was more referring to how he is more humanized in the movie; I don't really think he realizes he loved the girl, in the movie, I think he's remembering what he felt for her smell and realizing that THAT'S what 'normal' people feel for each other, when they love. He realizes what he's missed out on.
@adrienmacaspac The perfume has power to make people love Grenouille. Just one drop made the crowd mad with love. In the end he poured the whole bottle on himself. Those low-life people felt such love for him and wanted him so bad. But even this perfume could not bring back his lost love...It's the most powerful scene ever.
@Bulka40000 Jean Baptiste was not evil. He was born with an impossibly good sense of smell, this sense was so great that it shaped his way of living more than anything else, it made him what our society would call insane, since the sensations of smell was above everything else for him, even human life.
Anyone with the same gift as Jean Baptiste would surely act much the same, since smell would mean so much more, it would become a passion that would drive one to do unimaginable things.
@UnrealHel Yes he was. just read book carefully and do not ignore these parts. He could find fulfilment only i hate. He was hatred i he hated. because of his behaviour and appearance ha was alone. This doesnt changes one fact. Jean Baptiste was so Evil person.
The most poignant scene in a film. Sometimes it is only the love given to you from another that lends itself existance to a person. If you have the love of another you are far ahead of many.
A film that entrances and captivates you from beginning to end. Stunningly beautiful that can only be understood once you are enveloped in this masquerade.
This is so different from the book. In the book, he´s just described as evil (I remember Patrick Süskind even calling him an insect), not so lonely and pitiful. I loved the movie, but I wish this scene would have been a little closer to the actual story.
@pierresimon2 He doesn't in the movie either. He smothers her from behind. Here he's imagining things going differently and then maybe he could have been loved for real and not just had people be obsessed with his perfume.
I've been thinking it represents how Grenouille wants to be part of this world...
Grenouille never loved anyone nor loved by anyone. all he had was strong desire to fulfill his passion...but at this part he realize he's not belong to this world. he knows he's a genius but at the same time he discovered the loneliness for being different...for not having own identity (scent) this scene makes me feel like i'm in room full of people I slightly know (like holiday parties...)
I've always seen this scene as a reflection of what could happen if he had had a scent...How would be to be "seen" for the first time, to be known. At the same time, he realises he can't be loved and feels miserable.
@Xanthosis012 It's the perfume. It's the most beautiful, holy, perfect scent in the world. It gives everyone such a sense of purity, of love, it overwhelms them, and they must express it.
i really dont get it the ending...people want to crucified him but then they smell the perfume 9which he created using 12 dead women) and called him an angel/scent of God and suddenly everyone stripped off their clothes and starts to do porn stuff then laura's father went to him and asked for forgiveness (for what? for arresting Jean for killing his daughter???)
At the end the he poured himself the whole perfume and every single hungry person went to him saying "Angel! I love you" and eat him
It only makes sense in the book why he... did what he did at the end. Otherwise, you think that's fucking stupid why would he do that? Here you can sort of see why if you read between the lines.
The way I see it is that he is finally realizing that it wasn't really the scent he was searching for after all. The point of putting together all of those scents was to replicate her smell but after he did so he figured out that it was really her that he wanted not her scent...
@millzo182 You're absolutely right, I didn't read the book. The comment wasn't about the book though. Did you watch the movie because it almost seems like you clearly didn't. If you did you would have understood what I was talking about. The adaptation for the movie obviously changed his motives and who he was. This scene shows that he really loved her. He wanted to re-create her scent for that reason... Did you not know that movies are exact replicas of their literary counterparts?
@candiddidnac I assume in your last question you meant 'are not'. I understand that movies do not have to be EXACTLY the same as the book, but they should at least be consistent in the themes and the motives of the characters. Otherwise it just undermines the book and should not be allowed to be associated with the book if it's going to alter key aspects such as Grenouille's motives. By the way, I have seen it. It's shit.
i've read the book first. and when i got to know it's gonna be a movie of it, i thought "hell, there's never gonna be the mass orgy scene!" well, i was so wrong. the movie is great, but the book is still better
It's because when the embryo develops, the nipples develop first before the sex of the embryo is established. If i recall correctly, when the embryo establishes that it's female, female hormones will induce breast tissue to form.
Not in the book. That was the only part I did not like about the movie, in the book he had no such feelings for her, it was only about the smell.
In the book, the only thing he felt in this scene was contempt for the stupidity of the people around him and also the desire to die because he has no scent of his own.
@ZoDiAcPaNsY Sorry, for me I prefer the ending of the movie. Becuase we are humans, the movie clearly shows our basic, deepest desire --- to be loved by someone. Nevertheless, I also respect your perspective. :D
@emmachan112 Yes, sorry--I always interpreted this scene to be Grenouille remembering how he felt about the girl's smell, and imagining what it would have been like if he had felt the same way about the girl herself. By realizing he had never felt this way about another person, he realized what he had always been denied.
@lilanma Yes, you are also right. But I still think Grenouille eventaully loved the plum girl. The aroma of the plum girl was the first stimulus, and at the same time there was a linkage (aroma->plum girl) unconsciously formed by our brain. How strong the linkage was, depended on how much emotion Grenouille spent towards the aroma. The aroma of Laura was the second stimulus, because she had the same aroma of the plum girl. Meanwhile, the linkage was greatly awaked, aroma -> plum girl.
@emmachan112 Hm, can't say I totally agree, although I definitely see where you're coming from. I think the sadness of this scene is directly connected to the fact that he felt love for her scent but not for her, highlighting that he (in his opinion) is incapable of normal love for another. I like your interpretation though! :-)
@lilanma It's hard to convince each other but this time I totally agree with you :D Because it's possible that he had a great talent for smell, but knew nothing about love(for real people). The sadest thing in the world!
@emmachan112 no he didnt. he didnt love the girl. his perfume was a hit of realisation for him that he had never loved or been loved and he was incapable of such emotion. his life was hatred, always been hated from birth and hating in return. a slightly more modern heathcliff ;) except his whole existance was driven by his nose.
@emmachan112 Actually, they really changed this scene in the movie from the book. In the book, at that moment, he's supposed to realize that he hates the feeling of being loved, because his whole life he's been hated, and that he thinks society is absolutely disgusting and weak. That's why he leaves Grasse and feeds himself to the hungry criminals in Paris.
But in the movie they make it so that he realizes that he loved the girl all along.
I loved the book and the movie, but in different ways.

@emmachan112 Or that if she had been still alive, her scent would still be with her, radiating. He never meant for her to die :( truly an emotional scene, one of my favorite..
That scene is one of the most powerful scenes I've seen so far. The choice of music couldn't describe better his feelings at that exact moment. Thanks for uploading this!

@Xanthosis012 It's the perfume. It's the most beautiful, holy, perfect scent in the world. It gives everyone such a sense of purity, of love, it overwhelms them, and they must express it.

i really dont get it the ending...people want to crucified him but then they smell the perfume 9which he created using 12 dead women) and called him an angel/scent of God and suddenly everyone stripped off their clothes and starts to do porn stuff then laura's father went to him and asked for forgiveness (for what? for arresting Jean for killing his daughter???)
At the end the he poured himself the whole perfume and every single hungry person went to him saying "Angel! I love you" and eat him

It only makes sense in the book why he... did what he did at the end. Otherwise, you think that's fucking stupid why would he do that? Here you can sort of see why if you read between the lines.

The way I see it is that he is finally realizing that it wasn't really the scent he was searching for after all. The point of putting together all of those scents was to replicate her smell but after he did so he figured out that it was really her that he wanted not her scent...

@millzo182 You're absolutely right, I didn't read the book. The comment wasn't about the book though. Did you watch the movie because it almost seems like you clearly didn't. If you did you would have understood what I was talking about. The adaptation for the movie obviously changed his motives and who he was. This scene shows that he really loved her. He wanted to re-create her scent for that reason... Did you not know that movies are exact replicas of their literary counterparts?

@candiddidnac I assume in your last question you meant 'are not'. I understand that movies do not have to be EXACTLY the same as the book, but they should at least be consistent in the themes and the motives of the characters. Otherwise it just undermines the book and should not be allowed to be associated with the book if it's going to alter key aspects such as Grenouille's motives. By the way, I have seen it. It's shit.

why do men have nipples ?
bark1986 1 year ago
@bark1986
It's because when the embryo develops, the nipples develop first before the sex of the embryo is established. If i recall correctly, when the embryo establishes that it's female, female hormones will induce breast tissue to form.

Not in the book. That was the only part I did not like about the movie, in the book he had no such feelings for her, it was only about the smell.
In the book, the only thing he felt in this scene was contempt for the stupidity of the people around him and also the desire to die because he has no scent of his own.
ZoDiAcPaNsY 1 year ago
@ZoDiAcPaNsY Sorry, for me I prefer the ending of the movie. Becuase we are humans, the movie clearly shows our basic, deepest desire --- to be loved by someone. Nevertheless, I also respect your perspective. :D

@emmachan112 I always figured that he was imagining what it would have been like if he had felt for her what he felt for her smell.
lilanma 1 year ago
@lilanma Excuse me, could you be more specific/detailed?
emmachan112 1 year ago
@emmachan112 Yes, sorry--I always interpreted this scene to be Grenouille remembering how he felt about the girl's smell, and imagining what it would have been like if he had felt the same way about the girl herself. By realizing he had never felt this way about another person, he realized what he had always been denied.
lilanma 1 year ago
@lilanma Yes, you are also right. But I still think Grenouille eventaully loved the plum girl. The aroma of the plum girl was the first stimulus, and at the same time there was a linkage (aroma->plum girl) unconsciously formed by our brain. How strong the linkage was, depended on how much emotion Grenouille spent towards the aroma. The aroma of Laura was the second stimulus, because she had the same aroma of the plum girl. Meanwhile, the linkage was greatly awaked, aroma -> plum girl.
emmachan112 1 year ago
@emmachan112 Hm, can't say I totally agree, although I definitely see where you're coming from. I think the sadness of this scene is directly connected to the fact that he felt love for her scent but not for her, highlighting that he (in his opinion) is incapable of normal love for another. I like your interpretation though! :-)
lilanma 1 year ago
@lilanma It's hard to convince each other but this time I totally agree with you :D Because it's possible that he had a great talent for smell, but knew nothing about love(for real people). The sadest thing in the world!
emmachan112 1 year ago
@emmachan112 Definitely, and the music just captures it perfectly!
lilanma 1 year ago
@emmachan112 no he didnt. he didnt love the girl. his perfume was a hit of realisation for him that he had never loved or been loved and he was incapable of such emotion. his life was hatred, always been hated from birth and hating in return. a slightly more modern heathcliff ;) except his whole existance was driven by his nose.

@emmachan112 Actually, they really changed this scene in the movie from the book. In the book, at that moment, he's supposed to realize that he hates the feeling of being loved, because his whole life he's been hated, and that he thinks society is absolutely disgusting and weak. That's why he leaves Grasse and feeds himself to the hungry criminals in Paris.
But in the movie they make it so that he realizes that he loved the girl all along.
I loved the book and the movie, but in different ways.
