Half to half, there is no such a moderate evaluation as "two points", everything goes to the extreme.

As for that sentence "genius" is the best footnote to Evan Bell, whether it is like or dislike, no one can deny Evan Bell's excellent adaptation of the novel "Perfume", whether Evan Bell is in From the perspective of the director, the screenwriter, and the actor, they have shown the ability to amaze everyone. A word of genius has become one of the most vivid descriptions of the film "Perfume".
Roger Ebert, the famous film critic commented that "Evan Bell uses the power of image, sound and music to create an atmosphere of smell, without a trace of blood and violence in the picture, beautiful and beautiful. The lens is like a breathtaking oil painting in the Middle Ages. The paranoid life of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille has produced different echoes in everyone's hearts: approval, opposition, liking, disgust, or sympathy. Or contempt. Personally, the emotions for Jean-Baptiste Grenouille are complex, sympathetic, resonant, but at the same time negative. I prefer the story behind the image itself Evan Bell will smell this The psychological changes in the genius's life are outlined in the most gorgeous way, making people's inner thoughts roll over but never find a real clue. This kind of reflection, this shock, not only shows that behind Evan Bell The cultural heritage and the heinous exploration of the characters have vividly presented the essence of the original novel. Incredible.
In the end, Roger Ebert believes that Evan Bell, with the film "Perfume", is expected to make an impact on many important awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, etc. Even more brilliant and violent impact than last year's "Little Sunshine Beauty". Even though it's still May, Evan Bell is a clear contender for the end of the awards season.
The British magazine "Complete Film" commented that "Evan brings the essence of Suskind's original novel vividly to life" and said in the comment that "he not only outlines this absurd world composed of smells with bright colors, And it also shows Grenouille's legendary life in detail." In the "complete film", Evan Bell's description of Grenouille's psychological transformation is very convincing. Evan Bell fully displayed the story background and characters of the original novel "Perfume".
The Italian authoritative film magazine "Classic" is full of praise for the scent world constructed by Evan Bell. They carefully analyzed Evan Bell's shooting techniques and believed that he used a total of three levels to make Stanley-Kubrick think of it. The "impossible adaptation" became a reality.
The first level is the picture, which includes countless specific images, such as dirty and muddy streets, fish heads split by knives, piles of animal entrails and blood, leather and grease... Vision is the most direct stimulus , it awakens the audience's sleeping memory; the second level is music and sound, a large number of layered ambient sounds and provocative symphony music, which together create a realistic live atmosphere, dirty fish market, noisy The market, the dark streets, the fragrant countryside in the south of France... These sounds subtly create a sense of space; the third level is the voice-over. In this film, the importance of the voice-over exceeds that of ordinary films. Narrative significance of the voice-over, it strives to create a mysterious atmosphere, and has obvious inducement and inspiration, which guide us to make cross-sensory associations of pictures and sounds. The voice-over becomes the key point to catalyze the audience's strong emotions.
"Accurate and beautiful close-ups, hypnotic symphonies and inductive voice-overs together constitute a strong suggestion to the audience, which together awaken people's most sensitive olfactory memories, and make people feel the taste of the scene. On the scene, this is probably the basic means by which Evan gives the film its smell. Escape from this carefully constructed audio-visual environment, the smell does not exist, but in this layer of wrapped audio-visual illusion, we will indeed produce lifelikeness It seems that we are really smelling that smell—the strong scent of fragrant powder on the wigs of noble men and women, the strong stench of the leather factory, the charming scent of the girl’s thick red hair and the skin under the earlobe... It feels amazing.”
"Classic" thinks that Evan Bell has accomplished an impossible task and is amazingly good. The rich colors, beautiful pictures, and exciting images in the film have left every audience with Very impressive.
From shooting techniques, color use, story adaptation, and rhythm control, Evan Bell's masterful directing skills and performances in the film "Perfume" are truly breathtaking.
"Entertainment Weekly" believes that Evan Bell's performance lightens the story line and core idea of the entire film easily "from the original exploration, to the persistent pursuit, to the discovery that I have no smell, so as to prove myself The driving force of existence, after achieving the purpose of controlling the world, surging up in loneliness, and finally self-destruction. Evan clearly and delicately presents every moment of Grenouille's psychological changes, and the growth, transformation and destruction of this character. , completely sketched out, making all the audience sigh again and again. The dim light and high brow bones make the deep blue sea like the sea, but the straight, high-gloss nose always guides the The direction of the film, his unparalleled focus and simplicity, is presented with ease, hitting the bottom of my heart."
When everyone praised everything about the movie, the "Times" review pushed the "Perfume" movie to a classic position.
"Just like the most beautiful fragrance in the world, the power of 'perfume' will last long after it hides the cork."
Neil D'Arcy's comments focused on the film's core ideas, which he believes are the true ambitions of Evan Bell's adaptation.
"Jean-Baptiste-Grenouille is a genius, no doubt, his odorless emanation from the existence of this world, but parasitic in a strange and terrible way in this dirty and terrible world In Evan's lens, the Paris of the eighteenth century is filthy, stench, and terrifying, and what is the significance of Grenouille, an olfactory genius born in such an environment? Grenouille can clearly feel this society He could clearly feel the greed, evil, desire, and desire in everyone's bones, the greedy and vulgar businessman, the mean and utilitarian wet nurse, the ruthless and cruel factory owner, the hypocritical and corrupt bishop, The extravagant and depraved nobles, etc., in this deformed, **, and degenerate society, Grenouille's talent means that he will be destined to taste the filth and horror of the world more violently and deeply than ordinary people.
In Evan's story, the lack of smell has become the only connection point between Grenoye and the world, which is also the basic point of his personality damage, suffering and extraordinary life. It all starts here, the shy autistic character, the comeback after seven years of dormancy on the top of the mountain, the self-destruction after the failure to find self-existence, the missing core of the inner smell balance mechanism constitutes the motivation of all Grenouille's actions, This has also become the best annotation for that bottle of peerless perfume.
The top note of the perfume is that people are moved to worship him and feel that this is not an ordinary person; the middle note of the perfume is that people desperately need his scent and almost faint when they get it; and the bottom note of the perfume is that people seem to be wearing Like a devil, he began to bow his head to the most primitive desire, no one can make an exception.
This shows that Grenouille's most thorough insight into the world is actually desire, desire, desire for money, power, and pleasure. When people lose their minds and return to animal instincts, it is the surrender to desire and desire. . And when people succumb to desire and desire, they don't care about arousing their desire, whether it is a person, an object, an existence or a scent Therefore, Grenouille failed, no People can tear off his perfume mask from the whirlpool of desire and desire, and still no one can find him without smell. In the end, Grenouille was still destroyed in his own 'no smell', because the people in the fish market obeyed their own desires and desires for food for survival, and no one cared whether he was a 'person' and directly ate him.
No smell allowed Grenouille to exist in this world, which made him see this world dominated by desire and desire, and mastered the key to control the world, but he still did not exist, so he chose to disappear In the earthly world, a reincarnation has been completed.
The real deep meaning of Evan's filming of this film is to criticize this stinky world, to condemn this decadent society, and to resist those moral regulations that restrict freedom. Behind those gorgeous pictures that make people speechless, Evan still brings us infinite reflections, which are so profound that everyone is speechless. "
