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)

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
