Observation 10

1. The film tries showing that individuals all have talents, and even though society sees some talents as inhumane, they can be very artistic. Although the general society does not agree with the methods of using this talent, the man cannot ignore his talent and his will to use it, even if that means practicing obscene methods.

2. The film uses visual aids in order to give the audience a better sense of how the character smells, and that his sense of smell is so much more powerful then the average person's nose.

3. The film uses the contrast of colors to show the differences between common life and the rich. The brightly colored areas and people represent the odors that are full of flavor and the dull colors represent the bathetic odors and life style. The music pushes the audience towards the emotions that the film wants them to have for certain scenes, in order to get an emotion that will play a role further in the movie to explain the initial start of the movie. The costumes and environment shows how poor and dirty the common people were, and that even in the common and dirty life styles of people, a great talent can arise.

4. I think the talent of the character will become overwhelming, and he will either have to learn to control his talent for the good of the population, or suffer the consequences that it brings him to.
