My review on Scent of Woman The young student Charlie Simms attended Baird school with a student aid and scholarship. Accidentally, one night he and George (a classmate) witnessed that several students were preparing to tease the hostel warden teacher. The hostel warden teacher forced Charlie to point out the mastermind of the mischief with guaranteed admittance to Harvard University. With such a dilemma, Charlie went to the home of Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade for a weekend-part-time job. The lieutenant colonel was once the staff of President Lyndon Baines Johnson. He had suffered from war and experienced many setbacks, finally blinded his eyes in a bomb accident. Losing the courage and confidence to live, he stayed at a log cabin all day doing nothing. Frank was about to use up the last ounce of energy and money to enjoy a splendid time. So he took Charlie to New York and they lived luxury hotel, rode extended Lincoln, ate expensive cuisine, drove Ferrari and danced tango with a beautiful girl, and after that he planned to end his own life on a luxury bed. Charlie tried and managed to prevent the suicide of lieutenant colonel. At that very moment, a feeling like father and son sprouted in their relationship. Frank also regained the courage and strength to live. At last Frank gave a passionate speech in the school auditorium, which didn’t saved Charlie’s future, but attacked the hypocrisy of the Baird. They got reborn with mutual encouragement.

The long life of blindness made Frank a sharp sensitive hearing and nose. So he could identify her height, hair color and even the eye color by the scent of a woman. In fact, these are all because of his profound understanding and comprehension of life.

After watching the film, I lost myself in meditation for a long time thinking if Charlie had been a "whistleblower". If confess, I will feel embarrassed and upset; if keep science, I will be expelled from school. Fortunately, Frank Charlie got rid of the dilemma finally. I think Frank is not just purely encouraging Charlie not to betray his friends, but at the same time, inspiring us that we must adhere to our positions and principles, otherwise we may regret for not observing the principle of honest in the future. Though being expelled from school, Charlie still kept a clear conscience. Meanwhile, Frank also scolded the values of school, the perpetrators as well as George. The school should not force innocent student to confess or be expelled in such a way! The three perpetrators should be honest while George should not hide in his father's money pocket. Frank not only defend the noble behavior of Charlie, but also criticize to the social injustices and malpractice.

All in all, Scent of Woman is the most excellent and wonderful film that I have ever seen.
