1)The film Perfume intends to argue that the contrast between the lower and upper classes in France at this time was huge. The film uses color and visual rhetoric to achieve the vision of contrast between the two.
2 And 3) The rhetorical appeals and strategies used in the film include the use of color, music, lights, shadows, makeup, costumes, and environment to support its arguments. Dark dull colors are used to describe the life of the poor, which contrasts the vivid clear bright colors which are used when associated with the rich upper class. Color is also used to describe scent in the movie. When the old perfumer smells Jean-Baptist’s new perfume he is overtaken to an environment of bright color, flowers, and tranquility.
4) This movie is AWESOME!
good work tyler i think you've done a good job with your post..it's exactly what i wrote in mine...the use of colors and flashes of weird scenes accentuates the sense of smell that the main character is sensing. i also agree with the fact that this movie is awesome, and obviously im disappointed we can't finish the rest of it in class.
