1. The film intends to argue even though someone can come from the worst possible upbringing, that there is something out there for everyone. Each person has a passion, sometimes it may take time to find, other times it takes work. To be good at what you do, you may have to break a few rules, in this case, take a few lives.
2. It uses flashes of different scenes to help the audience picture what the scent must be like.
3. They use the lighting to hide facial features and to create an anticipatory scene. Colors are used to help make the setting and to show the grunge of the common people. Shadows are used on John Baptist to hide his eyes maybe to hide his emotions. Costumes are dark bland colors to help shows that style is not on the top of list for the common people, also to help create a realization of the stench in the city of which he was born. The setting in his birth place help create visuals to imagine the scent in the scene.
4. It shows that he didn't mean to kill the first girl and was shocked when he did but he wanted to scent so badly that he decided that he had to kill the women in order to keep the scents.
Yep, you can't make an omelette without cracking some eggs, and you certainly can't make a decent perfume without killing a dozen or so young girls.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your number 4 and number 3. Number 1 is a bit disturbing though. You make a good point about how shadowing is used to hide Jean Baptists eyes and perhaps emotions.
