Like they just wanted to get it over with. I see these ideas as giving us a general feel of corruption in the people around Corso.3. Indeed, he describes Telfer and her cult as “overdressed buffoons spouting mumbo jumbo” and then says, “do you really think the master would deign to show himself to you?” The same could be said of Balkan, who is "overdressed" throughout the movie. He didn’t want Balkan to suffer in the fire, right? Here's a list:(1) Kessler is in a wheelchair because of a childhood illness or accident - - - she made a deal with the devil that if only her life could continue, she would agree to serve satan and devote her life to him. Also, the ending isn’t comically stupid.

JavaScript is disabled. And that's truly impressive to me.I agree with you about the flying scene. Now my understanding is that each of the pictures pertains to something that had occured to Corso. And he does it without any props, effects or plot manipulation -- it's all acting. In each instance, as Corso undertakes his relentless, remorseless journey of evil, we are offered a justification for his conduct. She said: "When I was 15 years old, I saw the devil as clearly as I see you now." Did Corso really have to experience all that before he was ready? The ultimate goal of satanism. . thanky.

I think I know what you mean about the critics (imdb), but I really don't care about them. And speaking of that last scene - how motherfucking irritating is it to watch a movie in which everyone worships the Devil and the hero is walking towards a portal of Hell…and then they run the credits? If we assume that directors know what the hell they’re talking about, then Lumpy nailed it. And while it would be easy to be derisive of that, it's clear by the response from the critics, the audience doesn't really get subtleties most of the time. This is why Corso is the chosen one. AW, Excellent points, especially the bit about the evil baptism. Plothole Because of this, LCF lets him enter her kingdom to reign with her. It was a bit off pace at times but the atmosphere and the music of the film suck me in every time.

Anger, by the way, was once considered the worst of all sins.And let’s not forget that Corso also kills a second time. The Ninth Gate (as I understand it) was having sex with the French demon chick in front of that burning castle. We the viewers cheer Corso along in his journey. I knew I liked the movie when I first saw it -- I usually like Johnny Depp films. Each book contains nine supposedly-identical engravings. . Also, martyrdom is oftentimes referred to as "baptism by blood. As you know, film critics like to think of themselves as a nuanced and insightful group. He was motivated by money and greed and in the end it got him the "prize". Balkan. However, the best kind of evil that I've found in films or books, rarely sees itself as evil -- that's what's so insidious about it, it honestly thinks it's the good guy (even Hitler thought he was a good guy).I much prefer to see stories involving this kind of evil than the more clownish stuff we usually get. This movie, and "Secret Window" which I saw within the same week or so as I recall, were the 2 movies that solidified Depp's acting credentials to my mind.

LCF is quite passionate, as many women are, particularly when in love.

I would have liked an entire movie about Corso scamming people a LOT better than the one I got. Now I get that there were 3 differences in each of the three books (relative to one another). >> Anonymous 07/26/20(Sun)06:52:26 No. It's amazing how they got this movie out of that book. I'm mean this ninth gate has been around for awhile so others have probably tried and succeded at becoming a demi-god or demi-demon. And by fucking with the woman as the castle burned he finally succeeded in becoming equal to God and claimed total control of himself and his own destiny. For all I cared, Corso could have spent the whole movie trying to track the books supposedly written by an ancient vampire, or a manuscript supposedly written by aliens. In various commentaries, Polanski has asserted that the “sexy French chick” is indeed Satan and not one of his minions.

There are hints throughout the movie of the kind of sinful/evil people Corso is dealing with.
