Pacinophilia !
That is the one word to describe my current situation. Totally dumbstruck by his performance in "Scent of a woman". Have been watching this movie continuously. Very rarely you get a movie in Hollywood like this, where the protagonist steals the whole show. We infact were commenting the other characters like the Cat, the Limo driver and Chris Odonnell had equal part in the movie :-P
Coming to Pacino, the man is a killer. He is like the nasha which most of our guys are after. Undescribable performance. Deservingly, he won an Oscar for this ! The climax is the icing on the cake, with Pacino defending Chris for his actions. He is a master.
Have watched other movies of him like Godfather, Devil's Advocate, Any given Sunday etc. But Scent of a Woman is the movie for Pacino. Because of Pacinophilia, my condition has become from bad to worse. My assignments are pending. Not in a mood to look at them. Why am I like this ? Cantraal yaar...
Ok, Let us get focussed. Exams are nearing. Next week is the 12th week... Need to give my best shot. Ab blog wog ke liye time nahin hai... Ek aur baar Scent of a woman dekhna hai...:-)

I agree with your comments about Al Pacino. His dialogue delivery in the movie is simply marvellous. He gets into skin of the character of Lt. Col. Slade and makes his pain & frustration at living a blind man's lonely life palpable. His shenanigans are perfectly blended with bon mots. He is an epitome of a gentleman when in the company of ladies. His style is immaculate, but when incited he roars and thunders like an Army officer.
A superlative performance---in my opinion the best amongst Pacino's oeuvre.
