the fancier behind the door

The so-called good film is to let the audience make irresponsible remarks. The following is my personal understanding.

Blue-eyed girl: This beauty has no name. It's not that the director deliberately deceived you. It really doesn't have a name. She always appears by Gao Su's side as a protector, reading books about interpersonal relationships, it's strange. Claiming to be a student in a certain sense (from whom?), and finally leading Gao Su into another world (different from Christian heresies generally use women as messengers to heaven, of course, XXX is indispensable, After the X has passed, it means 'give birth' and 'new birth').

An ancient bookstore in Spain: Two old men revealed the secrets of the illustrations to Gao Su, and guided Gao Su to collect all the illustrations (in fact, it is not appropriate to say 'collect', it should say 'experience'), revealing that the book was co-authored by the author and Satan, That is, the fact that Satan is parasitic in the human world. The collapse of the scaffolding could easily be mistaken for someone scheming against Gao Su, but as long as this is linked to the illustration, a completely different conclusion can be drawn. (Hint: It seems that the danger is ahead, but it is actually above.) Some people care about the meaning of the illustrations, but in fact they are all covered in the film. Another example: the death of the bookstore owner is upside-down. Who said running tricks is not hard work!

Gao Su: A notorious bookseller in the industry, being mean is in his nature, and then adding viciousness. There is a scene worth noting. In the castle of St. Martin, Gao Su subdued the silver-haired valet and flattened him like crazy. These actions are really superfluous. At this time, the blue-eyed girl had a line, which seemed to be "you have become ruthless". It revealed that Gao Su gradually revealed his nature in the development of the situation: treacherous, wise and fierce.

Nine illustrations: The author is Satan. Why did Satan leave these nine illustrations in the human world, since he is also in the human world? My answer is that this is the KEY. As long as you experience one by one according to the nine illustrations, you can lead Satan to resurrect. The meaning of the last illustration is to go to the castle with the beautiful XXX to meet the star of Qiming.

Writing this, you probably understand what I mean. That's right, Gao Su is not the chosen one, he is Satan. Revelation 20.3: Satan "was cast into the abyss"..."so that he could no longer deceive the nations until the thousand years were over"..."at the end of the thousand years, released from the abyss It is Satan, not the nations. When Satan was released, the people who used to belong to the nations were already on earth." It's not hard to understand when you look at the movie's release.
At that time, Satan led 1/3 of the angels to make a revolution that finally failed. The year 2000 was the day of Satan's resurrection. Be it the blue-eyed beauty or the two old men, they are all fallen angels dormant in the world to guide Satan's resurrection. They have only one mission.
Finally, to Polanski and the awesome me, salute

The Ninth Gate quotes

  • 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 !

  • Boris Balkan: [On the phone] What news?

    Dean Corso: News? Let me see... Well... Yes. The good news is I got to examine the old woman's book and three of her engravings were signed "LCF". The bad news is that someone strangled her and made a bonfire of her collection. Now that's tragic, wouldn't you say?

    Boris Balkan: You took the words out of my mouth.

    Dean Corso: Yes, it's the Fargas story all over again. I think they tore out the engravings before they torched the place. That makes two sets they've got.

    Boris Balkan: And my copy?

    Dean Corso: Well, I learned my lesson, fortunately... I don't carry it around with me anymore. Otherwise, it might have gone up in smoke.

    Boris Balkan: Excellent. Good thinking. Well, with two copies gone, that seems to conclude your assignment. It only remains for you to return my book. I'm staying at the Ritz, you can pick up your check at the same time. Shall we say half an hour?

    Dean Corso: There's more bad news. I don't have it.

    Boris Balkan: You don't have it?

    Dean Corso: Someone lifted it from my room.

    Boris Balkan: Listen to me very carefully, Mr. Corso. I think you may already have some idea of the lengths to which I'm prepared to go when I want something. Unless you recover my property in double-quick time, you'll discover just how far that can be.
