A special movie: Perfect Sense

A special movie: Perfect Sense

by Verónica Waldron. 

Perfect Sense is about the story of a girl named Susan. She is epidemiologist , who study all the epidemics and diseases of humans. In the plot, Susan is faced with the incipient beginning of an unknown epidemic that affects senses of people. Also, this epidemic has symptoms that make the person conscious about has got the disease. These symptons are very strange, like before you get lose the sense smell, an attack of cry invades you. This cry cames about nowhere, but in some people, like Susan it cames with the remembers of her father, who deads years ago. About this element of the movie, in some persons the disease gets before than another ones, in the people who gets before, I think  it’s because they have more troubles in their life or  they have a pessimist vision of life. The protagonist, did have a lonely life, she only had her work and a sister, and she made all her life with a couple, making her own family. Susan didn't have any good luck in love. She was very disappointed about love and life in general.

But this last point changed in the movie,  with time, Susan met a guy. Michael, a chef who works near of her house. One day, Susan went to the restaurant with Michael, because he invited to her to eat, and Susan caught the disease. It was a very uncomfortable and a weird situation, because they just met. But Michael was very supportive and welcoming. He  hugs her and took  her to home. Susan obviusly had some shame but at the same time, I feel that she felt really happy and accompanied by Michael. In the perspective of her work, she definately had impotence and frustration because the cure for this strange disease not found out and with the days, it grew more and more.

Michael when took Susan to her house, caught the epidemic too, but his cry was more quiet, with less pain inside. In my opinion, he was more excited for been there with Susan and express his love and attraction to her, than being worried about the epidemic in his body.

If I lose my senses I think I would go crazy. It have to be something terrible that you never want to live. The senses are so important for living, for do everything and lose any one of them, it have to be very sad and difficult. I really don’t want to imagine lose some one of them. I try always to think that they are very important, and give them the importance they deserve.

About the words of the narrator, I think they have much truth in them, because people today it’s very individual and they do not see the importances essential to live and be happy. They just care about themselves. But when they’re involved in a trouble, they always expected a help and be rescued. Including me, when I have a problem I prepare for the worst, but always anyway, I hope it never happens or somebody save me.

I think this movie delivery that feeling, always live the moment, live with love and being generous because you never know if you’re going to die
