If you're stepping back from watching it by the low rating or inappropriate and mis-criticism, stop there. From my point of view, most of the watchers unliked it because of its all-time pinching nature. It doesn't only keep you anxious like other 'Serial-killer type' disturbing movies but also questions you about your own sexual instincts, decisions that you might've made if you were in the place of Evan (Keanu Reeves) and that's where most of the watcher gets stucked and say, "Nah, didn't like it". If you can face these questions about the manly nature hidden in yourself, and able to answer and solve the social problems caused by them, it's certainly a good movie for you. And if you're not, don' watch it, cause it'll keep you mentally tortured in every single minute.

What's the difference between 'Love' and 'Attraction'? Is 'Love another human-instinct like 'Attraction' or is it much more powerful than that and every other instincts the human-being can contain? This movie will left you 'Questioned' or maybe 'Enchanted' for hours or days and maybe weeks- just like the 'Perfumes'!! Did you ever love anyone? Was it only for some good moments, enchanted feelings or getting any other desired advantages? Well, if it wasn't to fulfill any human-instincts like those, then congratulations! You're dealing with a heavenly force despite being on Earth! But isn't "Attraction' powerful? Yes it is, but you can always question about its strength. Sooner or later, the power of 'Attraction' will always elude- just like a 'Perfume'. In this movie, Jean Baptist Grenouille is a perfume maker, who runs too much after attractions. He is gifted with a very good sense of smell and thus he could identify anything by its distinct smell. But only smell makes something just a 'Thing' or 'Object' which is something only to be advantaged by- like 'Being Attracted'. It has nothing to do with its main reason. So instead of feeling ‘Love’ or attraction toward women, Grenouille starts to kill those women and making perfumes by their body-essences, which turns them into ‘Objects’ and Grenouille starts to deal with the attractable properties of those objects keeping no concern with ‘Love’. But soon he realize that ‘Attraction’ is hollow and useless. They cannot be touched, kissed or communicated with- like ‘Love’. Thus, as he had nothing to love or be loved, he let himself to be vanished in the hand of fate, like a ‘Perfume’! This masterpiece story by Patrick Suskind and wonderful visualization in a film by Tom Tykwer will make you ask after two and half hour- “Does ‘Distinction’ give birth to love or does love give birth to ‘Distinction’?

Just wanna say, if you're missing GOT, just watch it!
