so i think that the perfume is in my top 5 fave. i think that this movie does an exalent job at showing the extreme emotional and psychological changes that the character experiences. it goes though the who characters life and all the characters life. when i first watched this movie i was blown away by all of the plot twists and just its sheer gloriness. but after a second viewing i payed much more closelyto the development of the plot and characters. i would highly recommend this movies to people who love to analyze. john (the main character) was raised out of the worst conditions that a boy could be raised and from these circumstances tries his best to stay in contact with the world but causes him to act vert different and distance from the world. but once he finds his calling in life he disscovers a whole new side to him and self worth. but not long after his perception of reality get disstored and get carried away in his longings and desiers. through most of the movie john doesnt talk much at all and there really isnt much conversation, i think that this was done to show how distant and how abstract johns perspective of life was. i think that the ending to this movie also won my heart. and if you havent seen THE FOG, i would recomend the ending. the movie its self does a prity good job showing suspence and drama but is over all perdictable, but the ending, the ENDING is perfect.
