Scent of a woman

拿起这部片子只是因为想看部高清的电影，FTP正好有，久仰大名，下了。

我看电影很少会觉得有个演员演得好，通常是演员把剧情演活了就会忽略演员只看故事了。但Al Pacino在这部里面实在太出彩了。我非得要加上这一句。

从Frank和Charlie到了纽约开始，我就觉得这部片带有点励志的色彩。Frank作为上校作为参谋，看尽世上各种纷繁，即便失明了，日常生活中的任何事情在他耳中也只不过芝麻蒜皮。Charlie遇到的事情，他只需一点点信息，便可以猜个八九不离十。这种聪明的人，当他放弃希望的时候，旁人又怎能再劝得他回头？“I always knew what the right path was. Without exception, I knew, but I never took it, you know why, it was too damn hard.”--智者往往并不快乐，他们要么悲天悯人，要么愤世嫉俗。

抄一段Frank最后的经典独白：

Frank: I'm not finished. As I came in here, I heard those words: cradle of leadership. Well, when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall, and it has fallen here, it has fallen. Makers of men, creators of leaders, be careful what kind of leaders you're producin' here. I don't know if Charlie's silence here today is right or wrong, I'm not a judge or jury, but I can tell you this: he won't sell anybody out to buy his future! And that my friends is called integrity, that's called courage. Now, that's the stuff leaders should be made of. Now I have come to crossroads in my life, I always knew what the right path was. Without exception, I knew, but I never took it, you know why, it was too damn hard. Now here's Charlie, he's come to the crossroads, he has chosen a path. It's the right path, it's a path made of principle that leads to character. Let him continue on his journey. You hold this boy's future in your hands, committee, it's a valuable future, believe me. Don't destroy it, protect it. Embrace it. It's gonna make you proud one day, I promise you.

Frank为什么当时放下了自杀的枪？为什么又去帮Charlie辩护？
我说，那不是因为Charlie有多好，不是他的integrity，也不是courage。
我说，是因为Frank自己又看到了希望，是自己看到了。

希望这东西，无论谁，just believe in it!

Hope is a good thing
maybe the best of all things
and no good thing ever dies



还有，我挺想生活中有个Frank
