I'm thinking about remaking this movie myself seeing as with all if it's flaws it's still my favorite movie if all time. I see so much potential having read "The Club Dumas" for how I can do it better than Polanski. srs.

 

Questions for those who have seen it.

 

Do you think Corso was Lucifer, a worthy soul or something else?

 

Do you think "the woman" was The Whore of Babylon, Lucifer, a witch or something else?

 

Ambiguity is certainly a theme for this film but I'm curious to hear your opinion. Cheers.

Because it's my favorite. What are your theories?

I think both were vessels and not fully who they appeared to be. Depp could never quite pin things down and he always seemed to be just either waking up or not not fully in control of his choices. Fully being the operative word.

I think Corso was hypnotized to "forget" details and was just a worthy soul. He himself brought the books together.  But its been several years since I last saw it.

I need to rewatch this movie, it's been forever, though I remember really enjoying it and honestly one of the few Depp films where I can stand him.

His character is actually a greedy douche who becomes worse as the movie goes on. Yet the worse he gets the more the audience likes him.

For some reason I never liked this movie. Can't put my finger on it but it just never did it for me and I have seen it twice.

Another thing, each time I think about this movie I immediately get it confused with "The Gate" an 80's movie that I enjoyed more than The Ninth Gate, actually.

I think the girl was sent by the devil and was protecting Corso as he was intended to enter the gate all along.  It was an intriguing movie but could have been explained a little better.  Still, not a bad flick. 

I haven't read the book but I would think that would explain a lot.  Oh and honestly, fug Roman Polanski (fuggin pedophile)

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
