Observation 10- Anderson McMaster

1. The film argues that everyone has their own talents, even if it is something weird. It also shows that a person can come from a rough upbringing but still want to make something with their life. This movie shows that he is very persistent and doesn't give up on his dreams.

2. The film uses different sounds and images to get the viewer to seem as if they are actually there. In the beginning of the movie, bugs and dead animals are shown to convince the viewer that it really smells. The film uses so much of it, that it is almost if you can smell it yourself.

3. The film uses color and lighting to provide a darker and lighter side. The film puts light on all the women, showing that they are special to the main character. Also, when he killed the first girl he used the darkness to hide what he did. The darkness shows that he has something to hide. The costumes also are used to show sophistication. The main character doesn't have nice clothes and this shows he isn't as wealthy as others.

4. This movie shows how a person can become so obsessed with something that it over powers them. It then becomes a necessity. The film shows how the main character struggles to kept his obsession hidden but it slowly becomes too strong of an obsession.

observation 10

1. The argument this film is trying to make is that we alll have hidden talents no matter who we are or where we come from. These hidden talents, if recognized, can be worth a lot of money.

2. This film mainly uses pathos by appealing to emotions in its visual argumentation. You feel sorry for John Baptist because he was thrown away when born and then lived in an orphanage until he was sold into slavery once it filled up. His sense of smell captures the audiences attention by appealing to the emotion of curiousness. No statistics are used to make this argument and the main character's character is not persuasive because he is a slave.

3. Good smells and smells he wants to preserve are portrayed with light whereas bad things and people are dark and in the shadows. Using bright colors and lights really helps imagine the smell because we the viewers cannot actually smell it.

4. This is an interesting movie and I am looking forward to watching the rest of it.

Observation 10

1.) The film argues that everyone is unique in his or her own way, but some of the uniqueness is not constructive as is the cast in Perfume. Although Jean-Baptiste has an incredible sense of smell, he uses his talent in a unique and terrifying way.
2.) The film uses different lighting and sounds to portray the essence of a particular part or object in the film. For example, when Jean-Baptiste found the apple on the ground the smelled delicious, the dirt around it was dark as well as his hand, but the apple itself almost illuminated.
3.) The use of all of these helps to support the argument by emphasizing the various aspects of the movie that the directors wanted to bring forward to be recognized by the audience. The use of colors and shadows were the main supporters for the argument throughout the movie to depict certain scenes to mean certain things.
4.) The movie was creepy, but the plot made it worthwhile. Also, the emphasis on Jean-Baptiste nose throughout the movie showed how dependent he was on smelling everything in sight.

observation 10

1) I think the film tries to argue that everyone has something to offer the world and that anything is possible. It argues this by taking an orphan who becomes a slave and then because of his talent begins to work for one of the most well known perfume makers in Paris.
2) The movie uses visual appeals to present all the different smells in the movie. For example when the boy smells the rat the camera zooms inside the rat so the audience can see that it is filled with maggots, which is a sort of logos appeal because it is logical for the audience to think that smell would be terrible.
3) When the boy is unhappy and in slavery everything is dark and the people and environment seem dirty, which represents how the main character is feeling. When the main character is feeling positive and smelling good things, the lighting gets brighter and the people’s costumes are brighter colors.
4) I don’t really like this movie, I find it morbid and I don’t like all the sharp inhales and nose close ups.
