The background of the story is that the heroine was looking for a piece of magician who brought a group of people into the catacombs of Paris. It was born in the 18th century when the Parisian plague was rampant, and a large number of corpses could not be processed, so nearly seven million corpses were buried in the abandoned collection underneath. The stone field thus formed a huge catacomb. As a group of people explored, they found that this was a road that could not be turned back and came to the entrance of hell. The hell in this film comes from his journey to hell described in Dante's "The Divine Comedy". Dante’s Hell has nine layers in an inverted triangle shape, so they keep going down in the film. The nine levels of hell described by Dante imprison different sinners and corresponding punishments. In "The Divine Comedy", Dante discovered during his journey to hell that if he wants to go up, he must go down. Only after passing through the nine levels of hell, truly aware of your sin and atonement can you find an exit. Since the hell in "The Divine Comedy" was imagined by Dante and has no religious basis, it is equivalent to only having a literary value and no religious value, so Dante and "The Divine Comedy" are not mentioned in the film. But the hell in the film is indeed Dante’s hell. When they met Rato, the long-lost friend, they had reached the first level of hell, limbo, so Rato was already a lone ghost wandering in hell. The hostess kept saying, we need to keep moving, and was complained by many people. This is also a point I want to clarify, because the hell in the film is a reference to Dante’s hell, so they have to go down if they want to find an exit. The hostess is aware of this, not to mention that they can't turn back. The road when they came is either blocked or collapsed. They can't sit and wait for death, they must go forward. They must realize their sins and make atonement before they can reach the exit. Therefore, the heroine must put the stone back. This represents her atonement and that she recognizes her mistakes, so they can reach the last floor, push the manhole cover back to Paris, and then the gravity of the earth changes. This is exactly what The world described by Dante has nine levels of hell and heaven, which are shaped like an hourglass. (I’m not sure about this. I didn’t remember this part of the external network analysis I saw two days ago. Now that website can’t be found.) In addition, the hell described by Dante is also the same as the title "as above, "Translated into Chinese is "upper shape, lower effect." Exist in the middle, form outside. The meaning is similar to the "metaphysics" of "The Doctrine of the Mean." The principle of the tarot card is also based on the symbolic principle of this sentence. (If you are interested in blablabla, please Baidu) The Philosopher's Stone sought by the heroine in the film is refined based on this principle The philosopher stone that can turn all metals into gold and bring people back to life and youth. Finally, many people think that the heroine’s friends are the heroines. In fact, they are not. The heroine and the heroine are both themselves. Each has its own sins, or each has its own demons. It is not a coincidence that the two of them entered the catacombs. It is not a coincidence that the hostess received a call from his dead father. It is also not a coincidence that the host saw the piano he often played with his younger brother when he was young. All this is arranged. When the male lead and female lead entered the catacombs for the first time, someone told them to look for papillion, but in a blink of an eye the person disappeared. Only possible that the person is Satan’s The messenger, pap and his party followed them into the tomb underneath, all arranged in the dark. Therefore, the group of six people are destined to enter the hell for atonement. Among them, pap enters the catacomb for the treasure in the mouth of the hostess. He is arrogant and self-conscious. Big, greedy and timid. When he met his dead friend in the burning car on the eighth floor of hell, his mouth was still denying his crimes, it wasn't my fault. So he was the power of hell The black hole was dragged down and quickly sealed in the concrete ground, with only two legs dangling on the ground. This is the same as the death method of the missionary who described the exemption from the crime of trafficking and the goods from heaven in "The Divine Comedy" I offer a description of the punishment for the missionaries, I’m too lazy to translate it. "In the rocky ground, they are buried upside down in holes the size of baptism basins and their feet protrude, only to be burnt by flames. Eternal suffocation and immolation ." This movie is not perfect, it’s about soxie, The stories of Rato and others are not clear. Regarding Benji as well, it is known that his death was related to the woman in white, the woman who led the singing in the catacombs, but the specific story was not clearly explained. But the one and a half hour horror movie has such an effect, I already think it is very good. It's just a pity. If each of the six people in the film has their own story, the film should be even more exciting. The last person to wear a hat on the chair is Satan.
