Am I a bad person?


Am I a bad person if I admired what he was doing? Trying to make the most legendary perfume in the world. It was quite the idea. Yes, I know people call him a nut job, but you have to admit he is quite a genius. I know he was killing people, and I am not saying what he was doing was right. As you could see however nobody could stop him unless he is dead, so I might as well admire his work he was doing.

He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians. Guy was an interior decorator.

Dude, how is a freakin perfume more important than human life? Go to Walgreens and buy one. It's not good, but so what?

It depends why you enjoyed yhis film.
To me this film beautifully demonstrates the purity if innocence and beauty of love . A man who smells a pure heart but unable to express it. He bottled it and wanted to share it and understand its power. The ending showed how it one can be consumed by it. He poured the last phial on those that needed it the most.

This is a story of a man's search for understanding puritY
There were many elements of the aspergic mind and sorry but you have to truely know what that means to know what I mean. The murders were only used to get the message across. See past that... please
I also saw cross references to meditation. in the cave he had lost his smell [his slef]

there are people that worship characters like freddy kruger, Hannibal Lecter or even Jason Voorhees. a lot of people love Dexter...
there are a lot of female fans that love the blonde guy from House of the 1000 corpses.

it is just a movie. it is no big deal. I think it is ridiculous how people that see this movie overreact so much but they have no problem seeing something like True Blood where people are killed every single episode...

Killing was only a necessity, the point of all this was much higher, not some low psychotic satisfaction from taking lives. Like in 'The Ninth Gate' the character sees a possibility so mindblowing, so fascinating but also the fact that he can walk a path never taken before by any man on this planet all of this make it almost as if he doesn't have a choice but to succumb to his pioneer fate. It is powerful. It is mysticism. Between madness and genuineness lies a very thin line and sometimes they are one.
