perfume.. story of a writer who does too much drugs..

just watched Perfume Story of a murderer today.. I'd remembered seeing and wondering about the trailer. Seemed a bit creepy and it had potential.
Since Sandie seems to enjoy spooky movies from time to time, I'd thought I'd give it a try.
if you are bound and determined to watch this movie and do not want it spoiled.. for you stop reading now..
seriously.. right now.. because I ended up hating it and I'm going to say why.. so stop... now... ahem... ok..
We were totally rivited for the first part of it. It has good music, cinematics, acting is good. Has a bit of a quirky creepy nature that sells itself well.. however... once you get to the point of resolution.. where you feel everything is going to come to an explainable and understandable ending... they instead make a bizzarre left turn involving a mass orgy.. seemingly out of nowhere.. all suspension of disbelief is tossed out the window and you are left wondering if you are indeed watching the same movie.. all I could think is that I had been ripped off. How could a good movie take such a bad turn.. just at the end?? It's got actors in it I respect and think of as having made a number of good choices even in those lower budget movies they've done.. yet this would be seen as a stain on my career if I were them..
just bothers me that a group can do such a great job and then ultimately fail in the most plain and obvious way possible.. staggers the mind..
end of rant..
