Scent of a Woman 4K Ultra HD 4K UHD

If I could give this movie more than 5 stars, I would. Al Pacino did a legendary acting performance in this one. The story is superb. Chris O’Donnell does a good performance also. The 4k picture is very nice along with great audio. Highly, highly recommend.

Slade (Pacino) did what many of us do where we hit life head on making bold choices but then having to live with the results. Slade is at the end of his life and is tired of suffering for it especially since he made them because of his ego. Charlie is at one of those crossroads at the beginning of life. So basically we have young Charlie and old Charlie facing off against each other. Mixed in are some great Pacino scenes in a lifetime of great scenes (too often being remembered just for the mafia roles which are only a small part of his many great roles ie "Attica! Attica"for one). Is it as good as his classic roles, maybe, but it's the entire movie and when he's on screen it's powerful and worth seeing. This was my first time seeing this and I'm 69. I always meant to watch it but i've never been a big Pacino fan and like so many just remember his mafia roles. I'm not sure the rest of the movie is on his level of acting.

One of the best films about smelling women that I have ever seen. Al Pacino won an award for it!

The Scent of a Woman is a film about the relationship between high school senior Charlie and the blind Lieutenant he is hired to care for over the weekend in order to help him pay for a trip home for Christmas. Charlie is on scholarship at a fancy private high school. He has gotten in a moral predicament at school because he and another boy witnessed a prank on the dean and there will be consequences if he doesn't fink on those students with the teacher even threatening his chances of going to Harvard. Meanwhile, at his new job over the weekend the blind Lieutenant is not very likable but the niece who hired Charlie and whose house her uncle lives in, insists he's the best man for the job and convinces him to stay. When they leave on vacation, Charlie is surprised that the Lieutenant has bought them both tickets to New York for the weekend. The movie is about what plays out on that trip AND what happens in the end when Charlie goes back to school.The movie is so titled because the Lieutenant, though he cannot see, can tell a woman's perfume by her scent.This is an excellent film from 1992. Al Pacino won the academy award for best actor for this movie ('93). He certainly deserved it. His acting here is phenomenal. Chris O'Donnell is also really great in his role as Charlie.Though this film is rated "R", it is pretty clean for the modern generation in my opinion (there is no nudity, sex scenes, or drug use but there is talk of rated R activities, some violence, and foul language).Also, Philip Seymour Hoffman is in this movie as a young man in high school. I did not recognize him at all. When I saw the cast list I wondered who he was in the movie. He plays, George Jr., the boy who gets into trouble with the main character, Charlie. The film is actually a remake of an Italian movie and novel.There were some technical glitches in my viewing particularly in the gun scene. I haven't had any other incidences like that on Amazon and I'm wondering if something is wrong with the video. If so, I hope they fix it. Otherwise, it was easy to watch and despite the static in that scene I don't feel like I missed anything in the movie.In conclusion, this is an excellent coming of age film. I do recommend it.

Excellent production. Pacino at his best!

I’ve basically been totally turned off by all mafia related movies so I tend to not want to watch movies by actors that portrayed mafia types and that also would include Pacino, but I think as maybe many do he had a great performance in here and I know everybody’s walking around in. This can be a sign of a very popular and great movie that people walk around and repeat a certain liner lines in the movie so people are walking around going Whooah. The movie does seem pretty long but when you think about what you’re watching and all that time it makes sense and the whole thing just turned out right and was a blast to watch.
