No Sense of Perspective

This is a DVD that Ms. Dianne lent me. I had seen the trailer a long time before, and that initial image of an infant grabbing a finger coming close to him and sniffing portrayed very pointedly what this person's "mutant power" was, and what he did with it, which is to try to preserve the smell of perfect feminine beauty.

And it made sense (pun intended) how he could get away with it given he himself had no scent and he could be alerted to danger nearby I guess by the pheromones of malicious intention.

Although the trailer gave no idea as to how it would end, it was foreshadowed well enough in the movie itself, in all of its strangeness.

Alan Rickman is still great, he who is Snape and was in Sweeney Todd.
