Perfume, the story of a murderer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfume_(film)
I give this movie a four out of five stars.
Its based on a novel written by some guy from Austria I think.
I haven't read the book and unfortunately I probably won't get the opportunity to do so.
Anyways, the movie is a about a man from Paris that is born with an acute sense of smell and in order to create the most amazing perfume in the world he resorts to killing young women and somehow using their natural scent to create that perfume.
Okay I guess if you really want to watch this movie then you probably shouldn't read the rest of this.
I think the main character has to kill seven women in order to make his perfume and during the very last murder he is discovered but he succedes in creating his perfume.
As he is going up the steps to the gallows he releases some of the perfume and the pope or priest who is residing over the execution is so overcome by the scent that he declares the murderer an angel.
The entire crowd is overcome by the scent as well.
I think the murderer then releases more of the scent and the father, who happens to be rich and powerful, of the last young woman that was murdered for this purfume then becomes overcome by the scent and kneels at the feet of the murderer.
The crowd that gathered to watch the execution then all have sex with each other, including the pope.
After this the murderer goes back to the marketplace where he was born and he sees a group of homeless people standing around by the fire.
He then pours the rest of the perfume on top of his head and the homeless people, some young women and some of them are young men, are over come by the scent and they go over to the murderer.
At first it looks like they just kiss him and say he's an angel or something but by the end of the scene it shows that they ripped him apart and left nothing of him.
