The main content of this film will not be repeated. Let’s talk about the weird book in the movie first. There are three copies of "Nine Doors of the Dark Kingdom", each with different illustrations. The book was published in 1666. On the title page, SIC LUCEAT LUX means "until the light reappears" in Latin. At the bottom is written: Released with the consent of the superior authority, which may refer to Lucifer himself. The nine illustrations in the book have their basis and meaning, and the text below the illustrations are Latin riddles (these contents are explained in "Club Alexandre Dumas", interested friends can Baidu or Google it).
The mysterious character Green Eyes (titled "Eileen Adler" in the book). She came from hell, an apostle of Satan, who not only protects Corso when he encounters "life-threatening" but also "fly". Her presence certainly points to Corso as the chosen one and not someone else. Satan doesn't like killing, and demons do things with principles. In order to summon Satan for his supernature, Balkan has become an out-and-out killer, and Balkan's self-immolation can be regarded as a proper punishment, a punishment from Satan. Satan likes beauty and sex, and the sexual ritual of Green Eyes and Corso at the end implies that sex is a necessary procedure for entering the "magic way".
In this film, Satan (Satan) and Lucifer (Lucifer) are drawn equal, which is a serious mistake, but neither Satan nor Lucifer can be said to be the embodiment of evil. There are various theories as to why Satan started the war, but in the end it was the pursuit of freedom. And Lucifer's "fallen" is said to be because of love. This also explains why Corso was chosen. Therefore, when the ninth door opens, it may not necessarily be darkness, but may be light and freedom.
