Watch Scent of a Woman For Free

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The act of Al Pacino leaves me speechless. The sentences in the movie are genius. This movie regularly improves my mood and fills me with energy. Plain, school and dance scene are irreplaceable. In one word the movie is uuuuuhaaaaaaa

Although it portrays a rather generic coming-of-age story, what drives "Scent of a Woman" is the absolutely magnetic performances. The most prominent one is, of course, Al Pacino's Col. Frank Slade - a man blinded by his irresponsibility a few decades before the film even starts, coping with his pain using alcohol and obscene, foul language. Although the actor's manner of speech is rather annoying, he makes up for that by acting just like a blind, rugged war veteran would. The supporting cast is great as well - especially Seymour Hoffman, who, as he usually does, steals every scrap of screentime given to him. The cinematography and music are rather bland, but they fit the film well enough to not be off-putting. I didn't really like the main character, though - maybe it was because he was nearly always with Hoffman or Pacino, but I don't really remember him being either interesting or well-acted.To summarize, "Scent of a Woman" is a nice film, and it utilizes it's 2,5 hour runtime rather well, although after 25 years it seems filled to the brim with cliches. Aside from that - watching this film was not a waste of time.

Al Pacino's brilliance is in his "closing arguments performances, i.e And Justice for All, Devil's Advocate. If Pacino didn't become an actor, he would have made a great criminal trial lawyer. Most of The Scent of a Woman runs through little incidentals to establish character and a relationship between student Charlie Simms who is hired as retired Lt Col Frank's (who is blind) "guide dog" through a "live it up" outing in New York during the holidays. The real meat of this movie comes in the climatic monologue when Lt. Col. Frank Slade,, Al Pacino defends Charlie Simms, Chis O'Donnel against charges of misconduct in a school hearing. Pacino's brilliant testimony is a harsh critque on our current school system and how it discourages instead of encourages the growth of character and morality in our youths.

it may be ordinary for some people, i mean for my girlfriend, but this is really one of my favorite. smooth statement, attractive music and tango,beautiful woman, and touching relationships, all of those is perfect. It is always something deserving to keep and fight, something called principle. just be the man you should be, and do the right things. this is the second time i watch this movie, it's actually another kind of feeling. the colonel , behalf of the old and rotten person, with Chile, and young principle man, are a interesting association. and the performance of the gold father really shocked me.
