Like Edward Scissorhands, you could say it's Tim Burton's personal style masterpiece, but you could also say it's a Johnny Depp movie. Many people don't even remember the plot of the film after watching it, but when they talk about Edward Scissorhands, they will think of the pale, melancholy and handsome robot image. Likewise, it is Johnny Depp who is remembered for "The Ninth Door", which is considered one of director Roman Polanski's unsuccessful works.
Although it is said that the film is the art of the director, some great actors can always put their own brand on the film with their inner temperament and superb performance, such as Gable, such as Brando, such as Robert De Niro, such as Al Pacino , and of course Johnny Depp and Johnny Depp and Johnny Depp.
If you meet someone like Dean Corso in your life, you will hate him so much. The man is greedy, mean, neurotic, and smokey, but when these vices are concentrated in Johnny Depp's characters, they exude a vicious charm that captivates them.
Everyone in the movie is like the book the protagonist has been looking for, the devil's spokesman. Emmanuelle Seigner, director Polanski's wife, plays the green-eyed mysterious woman who looks like an angel who always helps Dean Corso when he goes astray and gets into trouble, but is actually the incarnation of the devil, the messenger of hell. .
When I was in elementary school, the school reserved a room to watch "Jiao Yulu", and the teacher asked us to write down our impressions in the diary. In fact, watching a movie to see a central idea is as ridiculous as giving a diary to a teacher for approval. Just like such a movie, for Chinese audiences who are not familiar with Western religious culture, it can only be a blind man touching an elephant, not to mention who told you that Roman Polanski wanted to express his thoughts through this movie?
In the movies I have seen, there are two handsome people who smoke, one is Humphrey Bogart in "Casablanca", and the other is Johnny Depp in "The Ninth Door", even smoking so much Pull the wind, like a firefly in the dark, so bright, so outstanding, there is no way for a person to be handsome. It's no wonder that the director had already decided on the male protagonist when he conceived of the film.
At the end of the film, the ninth door is opened, and Dean Corso walks towards the castle, disappearing in a dazzling light. Is there any hell? Are there any devils? The answer may lie in humans themselves.
