1.) I believe that the film was created to emphasize that no matter what it is or how odd it may seem, everyone has a talent that should be appreciated. In this case, the main character has an incredible sense of smell, which is unappreciated until he ends up at the perfumerie (that is my attempt at french...)
2.) The main, and perhaps hardest, part of this argument is relaying hard to imagine things, such as scents, to the audience. For example, in the opening scene, there are many disturbing images that flash across the scene accompanied by gruesome sound effects that have the viewer cringing in their seat. The use of vivid visual effects somehow manages to relay the hard to imagine scents associated with the scene in the fish market.
3.) The beginning scene utilizes shadows and music to create an erie and creepy dungeon feel, which goes right along with the main character being in jail. It creates suspense and the viewer is waiting to see what is going to happen next. Also, a good use of make up is the owner of the tannery. He is a giant man with a gross looking face and mean temper. It instills uneasiness and fear in the audience.
4.) We need to spend the rest of this week finishing the movie.

You have good observations on the overall theme of the film, however, if you used more specific examples of the ways rhetoric is used in the film, it would be a better argument.
