In addition to the Los Angeles Times, New York Times film critic Janet Brown. Maslin also praised the film, especially for Al. Pacino's Table: El makes this film, and every time he appears, he makes the film shine brightly.

That powerful speech, that glamorous tango, and a blind man unscrupulously driving a Ferrari in an empty street......

When you look in the mirror and reminisce about your youth and sigh like water, Al makes people believe that time is just a more perfect makeup for him.

And the column editor of "Film Weekly" magazine, Julie. McKay started with smelling the fragrance:

The lieutenant colonel "smelled" for the first time on the plane, and his accuracy and analytical skills began to amaze Charlie. The smell that made the audience wait for a long time appeared, this smell is elegant!

Willie's Colonel "smelled the fragrance" for the second time, although it was accurate, but this time his accuracy made many people feel uneasy.

Willie is the older brother of the lieutenant colonel, and the lieutenant colonel has always told Charlie that his brother loves him very much. But in fact, the Willies did not welcome the arrival of the lieutenant colonel on Thanksgiving.

When the final contradiction broke out, the lieutenant colonel's hair was a mess, and before, his hair was always so neat and looked so dignified. It's just that at that messy moment, the kind of hurt from family affection in the lieutenant colonel's heart made him helpless, sad and helpless.

Fellow relatives could not communicate well and could not understand him. He himself would say that there is a bastard in every family. He said he was a rotten person, and always was.

In fact, he resented himself more than anyone else.

How can you live a good life like this? No matter how the nephew used words to sarcastically stimulate him, he didn't break out, he didn't have the strength to refute, he felt a responsibility in his heart to regret.

But he began to value this young tooth next to him, this friend. It can be said that it is his only friend. In order to correct Charlie's name, in fact, he also exploded in anger at that moment.

The lieutenant colonel's third "smelling incense" was wonderful and magical. He allowed a woman to fulfill a dream she never dared to do - to dance the tango.

At that time, the lieutenant colonel was radiant and knew how to win the favor of women without making people feel frivolous.

The lieutenant colonel brought Donna, who was not very good at tango, onto the dance floor and led her to complete a beautiful tango song, and the applause was thunderous.

Undoubtedly, the lieutenant colonel at that time was elegant, calm, and magnanimous.

Tango, dancing out of that gorgeous sparkling passionate vitality, that dance, with the music is so exciting. It makes people's blood boil.

It seems random, but it is so wonderful, like condensing the brilliance of someone's life. The whole world is in control. One man and one woman, one rigid and one soft.

But often extreme happiness is followed by extreme sadness.

The gun appeared again......

The whole plot is not complicated, but all kinds of entanglements and reflections about family, friendship and love are done in one go.

Without a doubt, this is a great film.

……

There has never been a completely harmonious voice, especially in a country like the United States, where the press is highly free.

The editor of Daily Entertainment, David Brown. Wilder puts forward a very different view: I don't think it's pretty.

Stuffy, terrible length. The only bright spot is Al. Pacino.

The story is boring and low-level. And this more boring title. A perfect interpretation of what a title party is.

What is so impressive about this impersonal film? Pacino, you must be cautious when taking on films, if this kind of film is not good, it will fail at the box office and word of mouth, this director is too weak, and it is difficult to become a big deal.

If Mr. Wilder knew the words for thirty years. will definitely say more bluntly: I take off my pants, you just show me this?

……

However, on the whole, the general trend is still more praise.

These praises. Slowly translated into box office, and by the end of the last week of November, "Smell the Woman" grossed $55 million in North America. It's not low, but it's not too high. The current top box office in North America is led by Tom Brown. Hanks' "Back to the Past" currently grossed $160 million.

After entering December, the box office of "Smelling a Woman" is still slowly increasing, but the attendance rate has begun to decline significantly, because unlike the November schedule, which is relatively blank, as soon as it enters December, there are several strong box office contenders released.

One of the most typical is the one created by Dustin. Hoffman and Tom. "Rain Man" starring Cruise, in terms of box office appeal, almost completely exploded "Smelling Fragrance", and the reputation is comparable.

In fact, after the movie's word-of-mouth exploded, Yan Qingyu didn't continue to care about this movie anymore, as for the peripheral products of the movie, such as the distribution, rental and sales of videotapes and the sales of TV and movie copyrights, all of them were handed over to Shi Nansheng to stare at the Firefly Company.

He took a family of eleven, invited Chen Yaoxing's family of three, plus Leslie Cheung and Judy. Foster, a young couple, go to the ranch in Montana to spend the winter, see what the snow is like, and hunt by the way.

Montana is a well-known state of wealth in the United States, with no heavy industry, mainly ranching, and some mining. However, the mining development in the United States attaches great importance to the surrounding area, so the natural environment is extremely well preserved.

The children put on thick down jackets before getting off the plane, and Dabao Xiaobao had never worn such thick clothes, so they felt very excited and novel.

Not only are they small, but also the people in the family, except for He Chaoqiong, who has had the opportunity to travel around the world before and experienced what a cold winter is, everyone else has only felt the wet and cold of winter at most, and almost never seen thick snow......

Therefore, after getting off the plane, everyone saw the tall snowdrifts piled up outside the runway of the airport, and they all had the urge to rush up and ravage it.

Of course, it is inevitable that people will laugh at the unseen dirt buns, and everyone still got on the three lengthened luxury cars that the housekeeper drove over with the cowboys, which seemed to be Dodge rams, all on snow chains.

After about half an hour of driving on a much busier highway than Los Angeles, the convoy turned into a grand gate, passed an avenue lined with tall cedar trees, and stopped in front of a three-story building.

Zhao Yazhi just told Dabao Xiaobao to beware of slipping and falling on the road after getting out of the car, and the two little guys were like wild horses that had broken off the reins, pushed the car door and jumped out of the car, and then threw themselves into the thick snow on the lawn outside the house and rolled around.

They have all been here and stayed in the summer, and they are already familiar with this place.

After Yan Qingyu got out of the car, he looked at this huge building, a typical rural style. It appears to be all made of stone and concrete, with wood as an ornament.

Rugged, sturdy, and distinctive, it fits the personality of a western cowboy.

The house is surrounded by several giant trees, which look like they are quite old.

Not far away is a long row of wooden houses, which should be cowboys' quarters. Near the cottage is a stable and barn. In winter, heavy snow covers the pastures, and the livestock are fed with hay and fodder stored in the barns.

Yan Qingyu had a general understanding of the situation of the pasture, and there were more than 20 quart horses, hundreds of cattle and more than 1,000 sheep, which could only be regarded as so-so compared to the large pasture of thousands of acres.

However, this ranch is not meant to be profitable, as long as it can maintain basic operations.

Yan Qingyu looked at Zhao Yazhi and said with a smile: "Sister Zhi, have you arranged to roast the whole sheep?" ”

Zhao Yazhi pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course it's indispensable, you didn't come in the summer, so I naturally want to make it up to you this time." There are a lot of good things, roast whole sheep is nothing, you can also eat roast venison, and hare, I can't finish it for a while, anyway, it's very interesting. ”

Yan Qingyu laughed and said: "Okay, this time we will stay for a while longer, and then fly directly to Hong Kong after having fun, pay respects to my mother and uncle, and finally transfer to Taiwan for the New Year." ”

Naturally, everyone cheered in surprise, this holiday is really not short, and the family has never spent such a vacation.

Leslie Cheung followed the excitement while translating for Judy, who was not very familiar with Chinese.

Judy was surprised: "Isn't Xiao Yu ready to participate in the Oscars?" ”

Leslie Cheung said with a smile: "Of course I will participate, the reputation of our movie is so good, it is one of the hits." ”

Judy frowned and said: "The Oscars are not just something that can be gained by signing up for it, there are many famous names in it." The United States is not as perfect and righteous as everyone thinks, and Hollywood is the darkest. If you just sign up for a name, it is likely that you will end up with nothing. ”

Leslie Cheung shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, dear, we will definitely have a harvest." ”

Judy looked at him puzzled and said, "Why?" ”

Leslie Cheung lowered his voice, made a mysterious appearance, and said: "Didn't you find that those people in power in the film academy have a common character? ”

Judido was smart, and his blue eyes turned around and he reacted, and hesitated: "Jewish? ”

Leslie Cheung smiled: "Smart." ”

Judy frowned: "But so what? ”

Leslie Cheung pretended to be deep: "The relationship between Xiao Yu and the Jewish group is very unusual, so don't ask more, in short, our crew will definitely gain something." ”

Judy heard this, and then began to calculate: "Best director is excluded first, there is no possibility, at most he will be nominated." Best Picture is then ruled out, and "Rain Man" has little suspense. Best Actor, well, possibly. Best Supporting Actor, It's Impossible to ......" Without the habit of comforting children, Judy ignored the frustrated Leslie Cheung who was hit and continued to analyze: "Best heroine, I'm just a trick." Optimum...... Basically, it's not a possibility. Then, it's Pacino's best actor. ”

With such a shrewd girlfriend, Leslie Cheung doesn't know whether to laugh or laugh or laugh......

Judy looked at Yan Qingyu, who was fighting with his wife and children in front of him, shook his head, and said, "Xiao Yu is a person who has the ability, but he is a playboy to the point of outrageousness. Rong, don't follow him, otherwise, I will definitely kill you. ”
