Scent of a Woman Picking Nits Scent of a Woman · The Rewatchables ·August 22, 2022 The section questions the prank, heightened senses, empty streets, the Ferrari dealership, Baird discipline, and the dress-uniform suicide trope. In the discussion (10) Approx. transcript time · 00:35:19Read transcript The blind Ferrari drive is called the movie's biggest nitpick and judged impossible even at low speed. The active job-posting bulletin board used to arrange Charlie's holiday job is questioned. The panel questions whether everyone at school would already know who committed the prank. The colonel's ability to detect Charlie's movements makes his blindness seem inconsistently superpowered. Donna's name is treated as a poor fit for the tango partner. The Ferrari drive occurs across impossibly empty city streets without signals, pedestrians, or traffic. The location of a Manhattan Ferrari dealership beside empty driving streets is questioned. Baird's school-wide disciplinary hearing, blackmail tactics, and instant committee verdict seem implausible. The dress-uniform suicide setup is criticized as a showy military-officer trope also used in A Few Good Men. The prank depends on an improbably engineered milk balloon and the headmaster choosing to pop it while standing on his car.

Scent of a Woman Probably Unanswerable Questions Scent of a Woman · The Rewatchables ·August 22, 2022 The questions focus on the ending, Charlie’s response to blackmail, the racial implications of recasting him, and the colonel’s finances. In the discussion (5) Approx. transcript time · 01:15:53Read transcript The movie is said to have a clear answer to whether it should end after the teacher flirtation: yes. Charlie could have reported the headmaster’s blackmail to the disciplinary board. Another proposed strategy is to admit seeing three students from far away without claiming to recognize them. Casting Charlie as Black in 1992 is debated as more interesting but likely to make the colonel harder to redeem. The panel asks how much of the colonel's savings the extravagant weekend consumed.
