第一次看到《闻香识女人》这个题目时,被它的香艳所吸引了。看过后才发现,嘿嘿,没有任何香艳的内容,不过也没有失望,因为它给人很大的感触。
影片讲述了,查理Charlie(克里斯奥唐纳饰)是贝尔中学的学生,生性率真、腼腆。查理是一个依靠打工和奖学金就读名校的穷学生,在感恩节到来的时候,没钱与阔绰同学出游的他为了得到一张圣诞节回家乡的机票,找了一份照看盲人的工作。曾在军队服役26年的盲人中校(Frank艾尔帕西诺饰)一出场便是那样的不拘小节,粗口连连,用他那粗旷的大嗓门训斥着查理,诅咒一切。查理在女主人的请求下接下这个工作时,他在学校遇到了一个麻烦,他与另一阔绰同学乔治看见了另外三个同学整蛊校监的恶作剧,恼怒的校监要求两个目击者必须说出恶作剧者的名字,对穷学生查理,校监不惜动用哈佛研究生的诱惑与退学的威胁说,还是不说?出卖,还是不出卖?这是个让查理惶恐的难题,让他如此的无助与傍偟。因目睹了同学的恶作剧而被校长威逼利诱。要么妥协,要么恪守原则,本来平静的求学之路顿起波澜,人生被迫面临一次抉择。
中校曾经是巴顿将军的副官,经历过战争和许多挫折,在一次意外事故中双眼被炸瞎。完成一次“回光返照”似的旅行后体面地结束自己的生命。他整天在家里无所事事,失去了生活下去的勇气和信心。长期的失明生活使得史法兰中校对听觉和嗅觉异常敏感,甚至能靠闻对方的香水味道识别其身高、发色乃至眼睛的颜色。其实这都源于他对生活的深刻理解和感悟。他准备用尽最后的精力享受一次美好的生活。他带着查理出游、吃佳肴、开飞车、跳探戈、住豪华酒店„„然后想结束自己的生命。
命运安排他们在人生的十字路口相遇,用相异的手法彼此缝合对方的伤疤,让不同的人生相互救赎并最终做出相同的解释。查理竭力阻止了中校的自杀行为,从此他们之间萌生如父子般的感情。法兰克也找回了生活下去的勇气和力量。他在学校礼堂上为查理进行了精彩的辩护,使得查理免于处罚。
无论生活的面目是温顺还是狰狞,我们都需要为我们的选择、要走的道路,想要追求的目标做出努力。而死亡永远不能成为逃避的借口和途径,活着需要有比选择死亡更大的勇气,承担责任的勇气。

The Scent of a Woman
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 lost 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 New York city 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 missed.The first is in the New York ballroom where the blind Lt.Colonel teaches the actress Miss 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 lessons.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.This movie make me feel the difficulties are just a little case, we should have a optimistic attitude to tackle it!And life is wonderful!

我有幸观看了电影《闻香识女人》,接下来我将阐述我对这部电影的理解与看法。
初闻其名以为是部爱情影片,讲的却是男人之间的故事,女人在这里注定只能成为配角。一个影片,两个故事。一个退伍的老军人,失明、万念俱灰,曾经的叱咤风云身手矫捷身居要位任性胡为都加倍的造成了他的失落寂寞与彻底的自我否定。此时他最需要的只是知心人真诚而简单的肯定。用全部的积蓄给自己安排了一个奢华的旅行,接着重新燃起了生活的希望;一个优秀的高中生,正直、善良,在面对揭发与不揭发所谓“朋友”劣迹的艰难选择中,终于找到了真实的自我。两个男人所处的世界显然截然不同,但却同样是孤寂的心情,迷惘中偶遇,离奇的情节中形成了父子感情,相互帮助,在抢夺自杀的枪和精彩的演讲中,力挽狂澜,拯救了对方的命运,完成了各自人生十字路口上的关键抉择。这本来就是描写人内心世界的两个故事,精彩的情节再交织在一起。可爱的退役中校,脾气古怪,谈吐犀利,喜欢说脏话,有点小小的好色,有股子老顽童的劲,内心却是受过严重创伤,但是什么都改变不了他耿直的个性,纯洁无瑕崇高的灵魂。单纯的高中生,脾气温和,彬彬有礼,偶尔的笨拙也掩盖不了聪明的天赋,虽然家庭贫困,但却通过自己的努力获得了保送哈佛大学的提名。
影片的精彩在于,导演使两个背景完全不同的男人因为偶然而相遇,一老一少的组合擦出了意义深远的火花。相处时间不长确又彼此重新打开心扉,重新找回了自己他们的人生观价值观大相径庭,可是后来两人都接纳了对方,并且从彼此的人格中找到了自己的生命意义。两人从最初的对彼此的不理解,到后来的试着去了解对方,再到后来为对方敞开心扉,直至最后都成为了能够影响彼此人生的忘年交。上校和查理一起度过的这几天让他因为查理的天真和那种真挚的品格感觉到了人性中的温暖,从而找到了生命的意义,接而对所有的不快和郁闷感到释怀,重燃希望。查理则在于上校相处的过程中受到其影响,在面对选择时,选择了自己的原则,没有为自己前途利益而放弃自己的信仰的原则。
在电影的配乐方面,我认为有其独到之处,不管是影片刚开始时不知是用什么乐器演奏的悠扬又有点欢快的曲调,或是上校与女子共舞那段由小提琴演奏出的激情又不失优雅的探戈舞曲,显示出了上校在重新置身在美人,豪华酒店等熟悉的场景时身上所显示出的的那种自信。两种不同的音乐,表现的是这个国家人民的气质,在影片当中虽起不到什么非常重要的作用,却不失为点睛之笔。
最让我印象深刻的是接近末尾那段上校的演讲,直白而犀利,却给人一种醍醐灌顶的感觉,时间不短却句句经典。
故事绕了一圈又回到原点,上校又回到了侄女的家,但的心境却大有不同。闻香识女人,其实是对人生的期冀,是对人生生活的一种向往!这背后包含的在我看来,其实是一种生命的态度,生活是有挫折的,不可能一帆风顺,但是跌倒总要爬起,不管在什么时候,也要保持一种积极的人生态度,一种向上的精神!
片最吸引人的地方是它高雅而不熟套、朴实而不乏味,平缓而不拖沓,像一瓶刚打开的成年红酒,其中的色香味需要你的细心品味才能发现其魅力。给人以脱俗的感觉,就像沐浴在春日的阳光下。活出自己的个性吧!像影片的男主人公一样勇于正视自己的人生,好好享受生命绽放的灿烂!
第五篇:影评《闻香识女人》
看《闻香识女人》有感
我很喜欢看电影,虽然不是影视专业,但每当看好电影之后,都喜欢看看豆瓣影评,在自己感悟一番。虽然如此,但我因为觉得自己才疏学浅,纵然似乎有所感悟,却终究不曾组织成语言过。今日得此机会,也好强制自己尝试一下,并过把小隐。
影片中有两个重要人物,各有风骚。少年查理纯的像清水,老中尉虽双目失明脾气暴躁但是通天晓地,幽默而有魅力,闻香能识女人。也许应了这部电影的名字《闻香识女人》,老中尉才是最主的主角,电影里他那段伴着《只差一步》的脚步不知让多少观众痴迷于探戈的魅力。但是也许是因为我太年轻,老中尉的痛苦与释怀我无法深刻的体会,也许再过几年重新看这部电影,我才会与老中尉产生共鸣吧。
查理的品质让我有点小嫉妒,我也是看了第二遍才看出来。电影字幕中把它翻译成‘原则’我觉得并不适合,导致豆瓣上有写评论称这部电影内容一般。歧义的中文翻译使有些评友认为的电影中表现的是少年不惜牺牲自己却不出卖朋友,甚至那几个朋友都没把少年当朋友。评友们觉得这个主题很肤浅而且滑稽,为了不是自己朋友的朋友而坚持原则牺牲自己简直是愚蠢。从这一点让我恰好更深刻的感受到了电影的正真的主题。
英文字幕里写的那句话是:“i stood up everything and everyone cause that make me feel important,but you do it cause you mean it”中文字幕是:“你却是为了原则而反抗”,我觉得英文比中文来的更直观,我觉得中文应该翻译成“你坚持任何事都是源于你的内心良知”。影片中的少年,从校长或者大家的角度看来,面临一个抉择,姑且说是一个二选一的选择题:要么,坚持讲义气不打小报告,维护那些还不算是自己朋友的那些同学,冤屈的承担全部责任,可能被开除,前途一片渺茫,要么听老师的告发一切,接受老师的报送哈佛的贿赂,从此基本上前途一片光明。自问一下如果是自己会怎么选,我想几乎全会选择后者,不用解释吧,“不然白吃一个处分”,没得选。轮到少年选了,他说:“I couldn't say.(我不能说。)”看上去他选择了前者(不说)?你错了,他选的应该说是第三者。网上的歧义就在这里,少年没有告发不良少年,他不是选择守口如瓶,而是根本没有去选择,拒绝做那道选择题,或者说选择了第三者。我注意到了老师愤怒的追问他“couldn't, shouldn't, or mustn't.”这三个英文中的情态动词我就粗犷的翻译为“不能说还是不可以说还是死也不说”,其实老师是在追问:别说不能说我看不懂,你是有难处(诸如类似另一位目击者说的没带隐形眼镜或受威胁等借口。),还是就是守口如瓶死也不说。其实这三个情态动词还是在追问前面的要么要么,可少年也认真的思考过之后还是说“I could't say.”他还是没做那道选择题。所以电影表现的并不像歧义的那么肤浅。那少年到底是如何想的?他贵在何处,让老中尉最后能这么澎湃的为他说话?重新来看原来的事情,喜欢拍上级马屁还卖弄虚荣的校长被不良学生捉弄,不良少年整蛊伪善校长,其实这件事情处于平衡状态,没有孰是孰非。而少年面临的,其实是,接受校长的利益来打破这个平衡,顽皮少年陷入窘境,而校长更加洋洋得意,还是牺牲自己的利益而维持这个平衡。显然少年选择的后者,他的可贵之处在于,在做决定时,并非同常人一样优先考虑自己的利益。而是把自己的利益放在一边,完全以一个旁观者的身份,公平公正的去处理遇到的事情,他有一个公正无私的内心良知。而这分良知
又不像现在中国社会普遍存在的伪道德。我有必要解释一下“伪道德”这个名词。道德不像法律,没有白纸黑字,更没有明确的对错之分。而加以明确“该与不该”的道德就让我粗略的定义为“伪道德”。如“范跑跑”事件,如大骂百事捐款才多少多少。这些都是因为自我意识浅薄加上严重的盲目从众心理和严重的虚荣心所形成的“伪道德”。当然少年当时没想那么多,这份公证的良知完全来源于自己的内心,甚至都不需要为什么。而现在的很多人在处理事情的时候,比如公交车让座这件事情,广播里放着“请给老弱病残孕让座”,面对一个身体健硕的老人,你曾经有没有这个疑惑,不让感觉自己不对没有道德,让了感觉自己好像做了一件好事很有道德,心理斗争激烈。这就不是真正的应该源于自己内心的道德,而是受外在别人眼中对错约束的伪道德。所以,少年是可贵的,在电影的结尾,当你亢奋于老中尉澎湃的演讲时,当你为少年高兴的送一口气的时候,你是否同时感到了一丝惭愧,这才是最重要的。
