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.

When I watched it, it reminded me of another movie, Kubrick's Eye-Opening. The two movies are quite similar! I have seen a lot of Depp's films, but I think all the characters he plays are very mysterious and evil. This film is very Gothic! In western culture, does 666 represent evil? Hehe, I knew that June 6th, June 6th, and June 6th spring hit six or nine heads!

The Ninth Gate quotes

  • The Girl: What do you plan to do if you see them?

    Dean Corso: I'll probably hide behind you.

  • Dean Corso: Have you studied the engravings? They seem to have some underlying significance.

    Ceniza: But of course.

    [Points to an engraving in the book]

    Ceniza: Here, for example. This one could be interpreted as a warning. "Venture too far," It seems to say, "and danger will descend on you from above." This type of books often contain little puzzles. Especially in the case of such an illustrious collaborator.

    Dean Corso: Collaborator?

    Ceniza: You cannot have proceeded very far with your research, señor. Here, look close.

    [Handles a magnifying glass to Corso]

    Ceniza: Don't you see? Only six of the nine engravings were signed by Aristide Torchia.

    Dean Corso: Yes. And the other three?

    Ceniza: But this is one of them.

    Dean Corso: [Reads through the magnifying class] L... C... F... Who is LCF?

    Ceniza: Think.

    Dean Corso: [Thinks a few seconds] Lucifer?

    Ceniza: Very perceptive of you, señor ! Torchia was burned alive because he wrote this book in collaboration with someone else.

    Dean Corso: Come on! You can't honestly believe...

    Ceniza: The man who wrote this book did so in alliance with the Devil and went to the stake for it.

    [Grinning sarcastically]

    Ceniza: Even Hell has its heroes, señor !
