The name of the rose, the unspeakable name

Just finished watching this early classic, and there are several layers of self-understanding about the title "The Name of the Rose".

Neither the movie nor the book does the rose appear. The name of the rose, alluding to the girl in the movie, is the beginning of the Christian's experience of sex and love; the name of the rose, the secret hidden in the mysterious library, and the secret of the whole church; the name of the rose, the questioning of divine authority and abstinence ; the name of the rose, an unspoken truth in the context of medieval theology...

The original book definitely has more flavor than the film narrative. . . Especially after reading Liang Wendao's interpretation, it is a book for readers

    Brother William in my heart can only be UmbertoEco himself. Even if Sean plays a good role, it is difficult to cover up the thin plot of the movie. Some words really cannot be expressed in images, so those who like it should go to the original book instead of the movie. Wonderful times.

    It was played as a mystery movie in the class, but there is actually no superb reasoning...a bit boring...but it seems that the original book is famous...
