Review of Perfect Sense (2011) by Matthew P — 29 Aug 2012

Thoughts after watching the film "Perfect Sense" starring Eva Green and Ewan McGregor:

Wow I am left stunned the cinematography wasn't amazing though at moments was rather aesthetically appeasing and then at times also a bit shaky in some points nonetheless the story was great and the concept was very thought provoking and horrific. For an apocalyptic romance film about a world wide epidemic of sensory loss it really had me taken aback.

Especially when considering the gifts we have in our senses and how we take them for granted daily. To think or even fathom the idea of losing them would really set my perspective on life and beauty and art and existence in a unpleasant tail spin.

Nothing would be the same and sure life may go in for a time without certain senses but to lose them would take all joy out of existence. Yes I realize life could go and for some does on without sight or hearing or smell or taste but wow.

As for the extreme measure in the loss of all senses I honestly think it would most certainly cause the human race to become extinct. All in all this films concept I feel was bery stirring and well it really makes you think about things, which I also enjoy.

Smell being attached to memory and with each aroma childhood dreams are born and promal sensuality is birthed in our loins and nurtured in our offspring. Fragrant and giving life to our environment with every moving whisp of air and every sweet or putrid sent that travels here or their.

Taste another sensation attached closely with smell yet linked ever so closely to pleasure and palletable exquisiteness. Explosions of flavor in layers like rolling hills of delicacy pouring over ones tongue thay brings meal time into rapture.

Hearing a gift of communication, sound being the very heartbeat of life birthing music a symphony giving a soundtrack to the mundane existence. Language creation through words spoken the cornerstone of relationship.

Sight a gift allowing us to reveille in beauty and bask in light as it plays and dances about with hues of color and shadows artistically caressed in safety and independence. An ability giving access to step away from familiar places and experience the world as great and wide as it is.

What is love without these senses what is art and life without the ability to enjoy it. Education and science and all civilized thought and existence revolves is pivotal and supported by our sensory systems. The concept of losing them is unfathomable and to live in such measures would in my opinion be cruel and unjust for even the most wicked of beasts.
