Review of the Movie PERFUME

Review of the movie PERFUME, Story of a Murderer.

Last night I saw the movie Perfume, Story of a Murderer, on someone's recommendation. The essential oil and distilling subject matter and scenes really excited me and I think if that's your thing, you will too be interested.

I had to get past the first 15 minutes but then was very interested.

It started as the life of an unwanted mute orphan with a strange talent of smell. The smells of everything overwhelmed him. He could smell through things, like the maggots inside road kill, and smell metals and rocks. He could sense things inside ponds and what people were doing in his neighborhood.

He wanted to capture the scent of a girl whose smells haunted him whom he lost. As the girl died, he lost her smell and became obsessed with capturing it. The story went on. He suffered a terrible childhood and lived when he should have died, in order to accomplish this.

He went to work for a perfume maker who was trying hard to find the secret ingredient in his rival's perfume. This boy came along and made the whole perfume, without even knowing the names of the essential oils. He wanted to work, in exchange for knowing how to capture the essence of "anything". This talent astounded the perfume maker who was spurned by greed. He promised to show him how.

The boy not only made the rivals perfume exact, but also made it better. The perfumer sold it and it became a success in 17th century Paris. The boy with the nose, also made him the best perfumes and the biggest success among the lady customers.

The perfume guy, in exchange, began to teach him distillation.

His teacher also taught him how to use an ancient ALEMBIC, which is the name for a vintage distiller. They showed the process of 10,000 rose buds into one ounce of oil. They went through every step of essential oil distillation. The whole story of distillation from the lavender flower fields, to the drop that came out of the alembic.

The perfumer taught him the art of making a perfume. Taught him the first impression, second and the trail was important. Also told him the story of a perfume found in an Egyptian tomb, that when opened, made the entire world feel in love, for a second. This is what the boy wound up making at the end.

The boy experimented, throwing everything into this giant alembic only to find it didn't capture the essence of all things. Things like horseshoes, cats, metals, came out with hydrosol and oil that smelled like nothing. He felt lied to.

He became sick and wanted to die, until the perfumer told him there was another way to capture smell, but he would have to go to Grasse, a small town, to learn it. It was called the art of Enfleurage.

Enfleurage was a process where you take purified animal fat, and soak your flowers in them until the flower slowly died. Then you scrape the fat off that and distilled it in a glass distiller over a flame and capture the oil that way.

He got a job at a place learning how to do that. This whole process was shown step by step. This is fascinating for those who like history.

In his spare time, he tried distilling a dead flower harvester girl; he killed, and then placed her body in a giant glass distiller after his bosses are asleep. This was amusing as how he tried to hide this from a nosy girl.

This didn't work, his experiment failed. So he tried killing a beautiful virgin, shaving her, and wrapping her dead body up in animal fat and bandages, then waiting and scraping the fat off and distilling that. He places the oil on his hand, and the girl's dog, runs up to him, licking his hand and going nuts. He was successful. Also whoever smells this oil on him becomes a little kinder and enchanted with him.

Yes it gets morbid and dark. He begins murdering beautiful young women in order to distill the scents from their bodies. He becomes obsessed with beauty and making that Egyptian perfume he heard the story of.

See what happens after he makes the world's best perfume. The city is in chaos over all the murdered girls. Yet he makes the world's best perfume. One that brings euphoria and it does make everyone think he is an angel. Even his executioner got on his knees and claimed this boy is innocent. Everyone present for his execution fills with love and all have an orgy. Even the bishop gets taken.

This movie raises interesting questions. I don't agree with killing human beings, but you could say killing a flower is the same, if you wanted to joke around. So are you capturing the soul of a flower when you distill it? The same way he captured the essence of true beauty?

Also, what he is doing may be capturing pheromones, through Enfleurage and distillation, which I think is only presently done with animals, not beautiful human girls. It is an interesting experiment, but does it really work? Can you really distill human odor? Can you distill human beauty?

This movie is really dark, it's about a serial killer, let's face it. Not my thing. But if you are into distilling essential oils, this movie is for you. Yes, you can distill the essence of anything, pretty much. I have read some ancient crazy distilling recipes but nothing as shocking as this movie!

Recent Movie Review Spotlight: Jackass 3D

Jackass 3D movie review:

Jackass 3D is a 3D film and the third movie in the Jackass series. It follows the same premise as the past movies and the TV series. Although it has received mixed to positive reviews, it's a very funny movie for sure. Jackass 3D is, of course, in 3D which is a phase which has come and gone throughout recent history. Jackass 3D is more hit and miss than the last two films; few of the stunts really fall flat, but some make your sides hurt from laughing so hard (or by making sick) Jackass 3D promises you a dirty, painful time and it delivers across the board.

Johnny Knoxville assembles his insane crew once again. Along with; Bam Margera, Steve-O, Wee Man and the rest of their fearless and funny friends they create yet another round of outrageous pranks and stunts. Johnny Knoxville, once again leads the group as they perform ridiculous tasks that include animals, feces, flying dildos, and, well, more feces.

Although it is difficult to justify the cost of a 3D ticket, come back for a third time, you won't feel ripped-off. It's hard to tell when a Jackass bit will be funny or just make you feel sick.If you have never seen a Jackass movie before, It's really just a bunch of guys doing crazy and disturbing stunts all for the sake of a laugh. It's worth seeing, and if you're into the Jackass series, you'll absolutely LOVE this movie. And for everyone else, it is often hard not to laugh at some of their inventively stupid stunts.

It is one of the most consistently funny installments in the series, a testament to the universal humor to be found in men hitting each other in the groin, face, and butt. So, if "Poo Cocktail Supreme" and "Sweatsuit Cocktail" sound like they might be funny, then you'd better get to the theater soon, because this movie IS for you.

Where to Go When Purchasing Movie Posters

There are a good number of dealers who sell movie posters. This is good since competition just about always means better deals for the buyers. Often they will compete on price and when they get the price down about as low as they can and still remain profitable, they will look for other ways to get and keep you on going business. For example, sometimes, they provide you a free travel magazine if you have exceeded your spending to more than $15. So many poster categories are accessible which has the inclusion of the list of the best sellers such as Jaws, Twilight and New Moon.

One poster website is known as Movie Poster. As its name suggests, it is all about movies. At the very top of the site is noted that Federal Express shipping is about $10 when you buy one to five posters. You may want to give them your email address to procure a 10% discount. Their section referring to the "About Us" page is somehow fascinating. Rather than blustering their site, they bestow links to some news articles about the website and give a number of positive buyer comments. The website lists the famous posters of all time such as: Star Wars, Godfather, Casablanca and Gladiator.

EMovie Poster is a bit varied. It is a movie poster auction website which happens every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Unfortunately there have been some tricks to sell innocent clients bogus vintage posters. This establishment denotes to have never sold a fake product. You can join their email club where you are given information about the frauds and you can shield yourself from getting tricked. EMovie Poster declares they have sold the most number of vintage movie posters globally. The "About Us" page provides a few details about the institutions' origin and business philosophy. The location for this company is in Missouri.

Poster Checkout is another website. Here are some of the offers on their site: 20% off everything with sale ending Monday. You get no shipping payment when you spend $35 or more. AT the bottom they indicate that they have the best prices on the web. Another good thing here is that you can call up movies by room such as movie posters for a college room or posters for a game room. Lastly, they provide services for art prints, framing and canvas.

Please be guided that all discounted prices, promos and other rates can be changed without prior notice. That is why you should always check their website to be informed of any modifications done.

Recent Movie Spotlight: RED Movie Review

RED Movie Review:

RED starts with a slow opening, leaving you unsure of what to expect. I think it was marketed this way on purpose, leaving the result of this movie to be a total surprise to its viewer. Its plot hits almost everyone in a good way, whether it be Romance, Action, or Comedy. It is similar, in a way, to Burn After Reading, but in a good way. It has a form of independence that is not seen to often these days. It is well worth the price of admission.

RED stands for "retiRED and extremely dangerous" and follows Frank (Bruce Willis) a former CIA agent who is forced back into the job of killing, running and smashing skulls when he is randomly attacked after years off of duty. RED has a story that is better scripted and has loads of humor and romance, but what RED really has that many action movies never can match is two strong female leads who don't normally make a living in action films. RED is based on the DC Comics graphic novel of the same name by Warren Ellis.

*SPOILER*

It is about four people, three of them, Frank, Joe, Marvin, and Victoria all used to be the CIA's top agents - the fourth is a government worker involved with pensions. Unfortunately, they seem to fall in the spotlight of some bad people. When you throw in the CIA and a few corrupt people, bad things tend to happen.

*END SPOILER*

Final Review:

Overall, RED is one of the best movies around. In the top three I have seen this year. It's not the actors or actresses that make this movie what it is (although they do help). What it truly is, is a wonderful combination of popular genres. That makes it so this movie can really be enjoyed by any demographic.
