Discorso finale in italiano

Scent of a woman


Scent of woman 1992  by Martin Brest
Starring Al Pacino Chris O’ Donnel

Frank is a retired Lt Col in the US army. He's blind and impossible to get along with.   Charlie Simms is a boy from Oregon who attends Baird School, a Boys’ boarding school (In New Hampshire)

 Unlike most of the other boys who come from rich and affluent backgrounds Simms is there on a scholarship. One evening  while Charlie and a very well-off boy are walking , they see that some friends of George's  are preparing a  prank on Mr Trask, the Dean (the headmaster) of the school.
 The headmaster learns that Charlie and George know who pulled the prank and invite them to tell him their names, but they refuse to.
 He gives the Thanksgiving Holiday to think about it. He also tells Charlie that he's recommending him to an Ivy League College.
 Charlie then goes off to a Thanksgiving job--taking care of Colonel Frank Slade.
 To Charlie’s surprise  Slade has a plan: to go to New York where he has several agendas of his own.

Here are few words to look it up: big hug, fearless, voracious reader, rippling creek, endowed with wisdom, of judgement sound, abound,deal, conniving, crass, puckered his lips, stunt, lamppost, pulled focus.
