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)

      When you look closely at the play it was careless from Melo but bang bang full speed I don’t think it was intentional or dirty or deserving of a foul. Bam’s off balance momentum was already carrying him towards a fall and even if Melo didn’t touch him it may have had the exact same outcome. And honestly I think he did try to sell it more when he felt LaMelo’s hand. Dudes arms flopped back instead of bracing for the fall. Sucks he got hurt but a suspension would be ridiculous and an awful look for the league. Fine and move on

      Sure but it literally would be benching him lol, and it would kill his confidence. He’ll get back in a rhythm, kid just had an all time great rookie season and led the league in 3s, you gotta stick with him as starter. But yeah I’m all for getting some more lineups throughout the game with Coby and Melo   and yeah Miles’ block and Coby and others jumping him in celebration was fuging epic

      I would’ve used the timeout on that inbounds before the turnover and Melo’s late foul but yeah otherwise I can’t blame Lee, the players just didn’t execute as well as they should have, but obviously did enough to get it done
