      The Ninth Gate--A Movie With A Western Religious Color

      To be honest, watching this movie is for Depp. It seems that the director is also quite famous. What is the reason? You can pay attention to it. Jiuzhongguan, a movie with a strong Western religious color, is very ugly as an Oriental. There is a mystery in it, but the soundtrack of the movie still has to be mentioned. It is full of mystery.

      An interesting detail, I don't know if you have found this little easter egg

      I was so excited when I saw it, comrades. . It was when the Bakken brothers set themselves on fire and JD appeared that Satan's face actually appeared in the clouds behind.


      So at first I thought that Bakken would really evolve something, but it turned out to be cannon fodder, the picture above! !

      I rely on the original can not be on the picture ah ok. .
      It was that Bakken who looked up after reading nine passwords and found that JD was coming, and then the cloud...

      If you don't understand the ending, please come in. Enter, enter, enter, enter!!! (spoiler, please detour)

      First of all, it is explained that Lucifer is the name of Satan. Beauty and sexual desire are Satan's favorites.

      This also shows that the film finally falls in France, which is a country full of love and romance.

      The self-immolation mentioned in the film is not like the employer. I really use fire to burn myself, but it refers to lust, and you will understand after reading the following.

      And the last scene of the movie, the scene of the blonde woman and Pupu ML:...

      9 pictures meaning

      The meaning of the 9 pictures is because this is just a step, it doesn't matter who completes it, the beneficiary after completion is the lucifer's choice. 1 There are actually 4 castle spires on it, which means that all the illustrations in the 3 books are incomplete. The single illustration at the end of the film is added to the 3 books, which is exactly 4. 2 Luck is the key to success or failure, even if it is completed puzzle. The door that seemed to exist was also blocked. Therefore,...

      2010-04-20 A very mysterious plot, it is related to ancient times, religions, and devils. It is a really thought-provoking film. But it always feels a little loose and not solidified, so it's a bit unsatisfactory. Let me pay, I didn't understand it in the end, I just enjoyed the process of feeling the horror and suspense in the middle. The girl still doesn't understand where it came from. A few people died in an inexplicable way. I don't know why they wanted to kill that bookstore owner. What ab

    Creation background of the

    After Polanski received the script adapted from the novel of the same name by Enrique Urby, he liked it so much that he immediately read the novel again. He saw many elements suitable for movies in this novel. Nervous, interesting, and there are many very cinematic minor characters. This novel contains so many conspiracies, so Polanski decided to re-adapt the script himself. He found his old friend, the screenwriter of "Bitter Moon",...

    Evaluation action

    Roman Polanski's unique "insecurity" and hesitation of human nature once again became the main theme of the story. The horror and horror theme of the film should be Polanski's best, coupled with the unique temperament of Johnny Depp starring, the film is of course exciting, but I am afraid Polanski will let you down this time. If the film showed the director's ability to create atmosphere in the first 20 minutes, then the next hour or...
