Good film with a great over the top performance
At this point in his career, Pacino was starting to change a little his acting techniques and still remain great, but it wasn’t only a great over the top performance, he also portrayed a blind person like no other actor i ever seen it.The movie is simple and good, Pacino is the one who elevated the whole material, the tango scene is great and the entire scene when Pacino gives his speech at the school is amazing .
Pacino makes a difference
Every few weeks on TV in Croatia you can watch four movies with same actors in it. This week on TV were Al Pacino’s movies: “S1m0ne”, “The Merchant of Venice”, “Cruising” and finally “Scent of a Woman”. Of those four movies “Scent of a Woman” probably isn’t the best choice but for Pacino fans answer is definitely positive. And not only for his fans. I just don’t understand those people who cannot recognize great acting when they see it. Can you imagine how hard it must be to act a blind man? His performance as Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade is so powerful that this is one my favorite performances I have ever seen (along with Brando, Nicholson, Dean and Depp). Pacino simply blown me off. My favorite scene is in a hotel room when he’s trying to kill himself and when he says: “I’m in a dark here.” For a while I didn’t breathe at all, that effect Pacino left on me. I’m his big fan and the Academy gave him Oscar for this role but I dare to say that he should have won the golden statue long before that (“Godfather”, “Serpico”, “Dog Day Afternoon”, “Scarface” …). But good things comes to those who wait. I don’t even won’t to talk about the movie, only about Pacino. I’ll only say that I didn’t like the last scene when everybody applause him in the school (so American happy ending). Also lots of people aren’t familiar with the fact that this is remake of Dino Risi’s “Profumo di donna” which is excellent film. And also I will explain my grade of the whole movie. 8 for the movie, 10 for the Pacino = 9/10.
