The Scent (2012)

...
Parlant de thèmes sombres tout en gardant une touche d’humour ici et là, « The Scent » est un thriller, mêlant enquête, suspense et passion. Le jeu des acteurs est clairement ce qui fait en sorte que ce film vaille la peine d’être regardé ! Malheureusement, j’ai rapidement deviné le déroulement, et le personnage principal m’a souvent exaspérée par ses choix et ses actions, ce qui a un peu gâché mon expérience. Cela dit, je dois reconnaître que l’ambiance m’a surprise, tout comme certaines scènes bien plus audacieuses (et avec plus de nudité) que ce à quoi je m’attendais pour un film coréen, surtout datant de 2012 !

The Scent was a really good movie. I'll start off by saying that, if you're someone that is normally concerned with how movies end (like me), don't worry with this one.

I didn't think I'd enjoy this movie as much as I did. I'm not usually a fan of movies with darker themes. This one, though, I really enjoyed. It wasn't too dark, but it certainly wasn't a lighthearted romp. Although comedy is listed under the genres, it's not all THAT funny. It has its moments. Some catch you off guard and may seem out of place while others break up the heaviness of the mood. They're there, but not overly frequent.

This movie isn't for kids. Or, if you're a kid and want to watch it, make sure you wear headphones and your parents don't walk in. There is nudity and there is sex. Each sex scene appropriately conveyed the feelings behind it. Passion and emotions drove one scene while crudeness and vileness drove others.

I would've given the movie a 9 overall, but throughout the movie, the main character annoyed me with the choices he made. I thought he was an idiot. Then again, without his choices there would be no story.

I think it's the mark of a good story when you find yourself, at times, cheering against the good guys, rooting for the bad guys, and having no sympathy for the deceased. The story, overall, isn't mind-blowing. There was also nothing too surprising, but it kept me intrigued.

I thought the acting was really good. I've never been a fan of Park Si Yeon, but her character was my favorite in this movie. Gi-Poong was a delightful addition to the movie. He provided some of the humor. Plus, I'm just a fan of Lee Kwang Soo. And, although the main character annoyed me, I was still rooting for him.

I don't remember music which is why I gave it a 5. I'm sure it was there somewhere, I just can't recall it.

I gave the re-watch value a six because I think I may eventually re-watch, but I'm not sure at the moment.
