Great novel, but not a good movie

As a movie, his positioning is a suspense movie, about two believers who go to a church with a series of murders, and try to uncover the truth of the serial murders, but they are blocked by the rights holders, and finally they win "victory" s story. The film's gloomy tones, dull and monotonous setting, the impressive ugly and mysterious and bizarre behavior of the believers, coupled with the unpredictable lines, all these elements or symbols have successfully shaped depression and dullness. religious atmosphere. However, as a suspense film, it is shown directly, with abrupt close-ups, with almost no sense of design, and it does not create a sense of suspense at all. This is really a very failed suspense film. (To put it nicely) But this just contrasts with another feature of the film, which is the sense of realism. Sometimes you will have a sense of confusion that "this movie was shot in that era", so this film reduces the sense of drama and Increased authenticity, because this can serve the author's most authentic purpose, to explore another mysterious topic - the pursuit of knowledge and self. So this is undoubtedly a film wrapped in a suspense film, so what the hell is he talking about, I think this is the answer to another question, which is why the elder with cataracts murdered these people. The answer is actually very simple, for power, in order to consolidate the status of Christianity, and why is reading a threat to this, because knowledge is power.
In the film, you can see that the author unabashedly satirizes the ugliness of medieval religion. The most direct one is the terrifyingly ugly believers who are sympathetic but cowardly, blind, and irrational. A church ruler with analytical ability, a higher ruler who judges cases by imagining and destroys humanity, and a cataract elder who is blinded by power. With these people ruling books, knowledge can only go to extinction. However, as for our uncle, the protagonist, he is actually very confused. This stems from his thinking and his observation based on real objects, which shows that he is no longer a complete idealist (religious), he is deeply Love Aristotle, he loves truth deeply, and the plot also subtly illustrates the protagonist's observational power through "the location of the toilet" at the beginning, but his observational power is so different because people of that era have already It is accustomed to attribute unexplainable phenomena to an invisible God, God is unhappy or God is constipated; not accustomed to thinking based on objective rationality. Perhaps the reason why the protagonist believes in religion is precisely because of the pursuit of truth, but the truth he investigates instead proves the contradiction between religion and truth, that is, religion uses the ignorance of the people and wants to create the ignorance of the people, so the elders cannot let the people know "laugh" It is proven that it can exist, so he does not allow believers to be happy, because happiness can dissolve fear, and without fear of the unknown, it is difficult for these people to be ruled. So knowledge must be put on the shelf, out of reach, or destroyed.
When people are "believed" in a certain truth, in the process of consolidating it, they even develop traits that are contrary to human nature, so there are many dogmas and many things that cannot be done. Because of his age, the little boy has not been deeply influenced by religion, so he can be said to have the same courageous attitude of "I love my teacher, I love the truth" as his master and had two very wonderful dialectics with his master. One is around what love is and why the love he experiences is different from the love defined in religion; the other is that he directly accuses the master of being indifferent to human life and the indifference of religion. His existence seems to imply that enlightenment is coming, to feel the true feelings of oneself and one's heart, because it is inherent as a human being. It's just that victory is a matter of later, just like that fire, few were spared, and many more have died.
In the end, the author also unabashedly expressed his love for knowledge, even if they lost their lives, they should save them from perishing. Only knowledge can solve the fear in everyone's heart, bring the strength to face survival, love bravely, laugh bravely, and live bravely. But at the same time, this kind of behavior is endowed with great sadness, because he can't control the raging tide, and can only watch most of the knowledge disappear, and his heart hurts.

ps lamented a great benefit brought by the digital information age. After the book is electronic, it will be difficult to destroy him.

    The suspense runs throughout, and the environment has a high degree of reduction, which feels a little anticlimactic. Kristen Slater was also the wife back then. It's really not easy to get so many other supporting characters who look crooked. They are all the main characters who can act in monster movies without makeup.

The Name of the Rose quotes

  • Adso of Melk: And what was the word you both kept mentioning?

    William of Baskerville: Penitenziagite.

    Adso of Melk: What does it mean?

    William of Baskerville: It means that the hunchback undoubtedly was once a heretic. Penitenziagite was a rallying cry of the dolcinites.

    Adso of Melk: Dolcinites? Who were they, master?

    William of Baskerville: Those who believed in the poverty of Christ.

    Adso of Melk: So do we Franciscans.

    William of Baskerville: But they also declared that everyone must be poor, so they slaughtered the rich. Ha! You see, Adso, the step between ecstatic vision and sinful frenzy is all too brief.

    Adso of Melk: [looking at the Hunchback] Well, then, could he not have killed the translator?

    William of Baskerville: No. No, fat bishops and wealthy priests were more to the taste of the dolcinites, hardly a specialist of Aristotle.

  • William of Baskerville: We are very fortunate to have such snowy ground here. It is often the parchment on which the criminal unwittingly writes his autograph. Now, what do you read from these footprints here?
