Reposted Interpretation of "The Ninth Door"

Abelardo 2022-03-17 09:01:04

Figure 1: Silence on the road
Description: a knight on horseback marching to the castle, the knight right index finger on his lips, indicating silence. (True and false picture: There are four pillars at the top of the castle on the true picture, and there are only three columns on the false picture.)
Corresponding event: The name of this picture is "Silence on the Road", which indicates that the protagonist Dean Corso is about to accept the task and step on the road. On the journey to find the "Ninth Door".

1. The meaning of "castle": in the picture, the knight rides a horse and sets off to the castle in the distance (and we know that the task of finding the "Ninth Door" is always related to the castle. The cult gathering is in the castle, which is opened in the ninth picture. The Dark Portal is also in the castle, so this image implies the beginning of the quest).

2. The meaning of "silence": I don't know if you remember that the protagonist Dean Corso in the movie went to Professor Barkan. At that time, the professor was giving a lecture. After the actor opened the door, he quietly went in from behind (the performance of silence) and went in. Then I saw the blonde woman (that is, the devil's stand-in, which means that the protagonist has been selected by the devil to accept the task), and then the male protagonist fell asleep (silent performance). There is also a noteworthy detail. When Dean Corso saw the blonde woman, he stroked his beard with his hand. This action is the same as the scene where the knight put his hand to his lips. What is the reason for the director to arrange the protagonist to stroke his beard? These plots just correspond to "silence".

Figure 2: given the keys
Description: an old man holding a key, is preparing to open the door. (True and false pictures: The old man in the real picture is holding the key in his left hand, and the fake picture is holding the key in his right hand.)
Corresponding event: Dean Corso found the old man Kessler who had another copy of "The Ninth Door" and wanted to compare The similarities and differences between the two books, find the mystery in the book. But the old collector died because of it. Here is a detail worth noting. When Dean Corso was reading "The Ninth Door" at the old collector's house, he found that the old man in the two pictures had a key in his left hand and a key in the right. At this time, the old collector just got up, He was holding a violin in his left hand, and his movements were exactly the same as the pictures. Dean Corso had already sensed that something was wrong. When he went back the next day, he found that the old man had been killed.
Third Figure: no jump Arrow
Description: a man carrying a bag of departure to a door, the sky an old man holding arrows are pointed at the man.
Corresponding events: Dean Corso found the Yisheng brothers who collected books to explore the secret of "The Ninth Door", and the incident where Dean Corso was almost hit by the collapse of the scaffolding.

1. The meaning of "Old Man Yisheng": The old man who shoots arrows in the picture is exactly the same as the brothers Yisheng. Unable to understand the mystery, he learned the secret of "The Ninth Door" after the guidance of Yisheng brothers: that is, the real picture drawn by the devil Satan has the word "LCF", while the fake picture shows the word "AT").

2. The meaning of the "arrow": the arrow shot from the sky on the surface indicates that the danger is not ahead, but in the sky (the scaffolding collapsed), it actually means that the Yisheng brothers are the danger that Dean Corso can't see, Because Brother Yisheng is the devil's messenger, and Dean Corso never knew it, until later he planned to find Brother Yisheng again. In fact, when Dean Corso met Brother Yisheng, he fell into the devil's trap. Since then, he has fallen into the devil's way.

3. The meaning of the door and the arch bridge: There are two doors in the picture, and there is an arch bridge between the two doors. It indicates that Dean Corso will penetrate the mystery of "The Ninth Gate" and officially enter the Nine Gates.

The fourth figure: a long detour road
Description: a person is preparing to enter a maze, a labyrinth of stone door has three dice, which were inscribed "1,2,3" points. (True and false picture: The maze exit on the real picture is an empty door, and the maze exit of the fake picture is bricked)
Corresponding event: Some people say that this picture may correspond to when Dean Corso just accepted the task, Falling into a lot of fog, unable to understand the mystery of the book, this statement is wrong, and there is no specific event corresponding, you must know that the nine pictures can find specific events to explain in reality. In fact, this picture corresponds to the incident in which Dean Corso and the blond woman took the most chasing widow and recaptured the "Ninth Door".

1. The meaning of "Maze": When Dean Corso and the blond woman were in a car to track the widow, they encountered a crossroad. After that, the blond woman chose a road to the left and planned to reverse. Fa found the widow's mother's family name written on the roadside stop sign, found the town, and finally found the widow's castle. Then they climbed the wall to enter, and then climbed the stone wall to enter the castle room. This series is undoubtedly one. Maze game.

2. The meaning of "dice": There are three dice stones engraved with "1, 2, 3" at the entrance of the maze. We know that dice represent gambling. At that time, after Dean Corso and the blonde woman met at the crossroad, the blonde woman asked "choose one side", Dean Corso said, "I don't choose, you choose, don't you know everything", the blonde woman said, "Choose one side." Just choose", so I chose one at random, which has obvious gambling significance.
The fifth map: deal with the devil
Image Caption: A man was counting the bag of gold coins, he stood behind the devil, and his hand hourglass of time. (True and false picture: not stated in the movie.)
Corresponding event: This picture corresponds to the transaction between the actor Dean Corso and Professor Barkan to find the "Ninth Door" in the movie. Some netizens said that this picture should correspond to the matter that Dean Corso handed over the book to his colleague for safekeeping. In fact this is a misunderstanding, because dealing with the devil is necessarily a dangerous, dirty deal, and Dean Corso and his colleagues are a cooperative, helpful relationship, obviously not a deal, with Barr Professor Can is a transaction based on money and material interests (Professor Balkan will do anything to achieve his goals is obviously in the nature of the devil, and Dean Corso is a mercenary person). In addition, the death of Dean Corso's colleague due to keeping the book has been corresponding to the nine pictures. If there is another picture here, it will be redundant, which is obviously not in line with the director's intention. It is worth noting a detail in the film, when Professor Barkan stood behind Dean Corso and looked at Dean Corso with evil eyes, which is the same as the scene in the picture.

Figure VI: The Hanged rope
Image Caption: A man died this rope hung upside down, right side of the screen out a hand, a torch to burn the rope. (True and false pictures: The person who was hanged in the real picture is bent with his right foot, and the fake picture is with his left foot bent.)
Corresponding event: Dean Corso gave the book "The Ninth Door" to his colleague for safekeeping, which resulted in His colleague died in the same way as this picture.
Figure VII: and the king of chess
Description: King and girls are playing chess, next to a black and white two dogs fighting. (True and false pictures: The chessboard of the true picture is white, and the false picture is a black chessboard.)
Corresponding events: Dean Corso finds the baroness who owns the third copy of The Ninth Gate, convinces her to let him study her collection, and the baroness is killed.

1. The meaning of "chess game": In the film, Dean Corso and the baroness had two dealings, the first time he was kicked out by the baroness, and the second time he used means to win recognition. Indicates that the "king" in the picture corresponds to Dean Corso and the forces behind him, and the baroness corresponds to the little girl.

2. The meaning of "dog bites dog": There is a black and white dog fighting in the picture. This dog bites dog fight undoubtedly foreshadows the rivalry between Dean Corso and the Baroness, as well as the Baroness being killed by someone sent by Professor Barkan battle between. In fact, the baroness is not a good person. In the movie, the baroness once said that she was also a member of a cult.

Eighth picture: his life for justice
Description: a man kneeling, hands clasped prayer-like, adorned with hand holding a mace is preparing to play a man down on their knees. (True and false picture: the real picture has a halo on his hand, the fake picture does not)
Corresponding event: Dean Corso was stunned from behind while studying the "Ninth Door" collected by the Baroness. At that time, Dean Corso happened to see this picture and was touching his chin with his hand. The scene at this time was the same as the picture, which was the omen in the picture.
Figure IX: burning castle
Description: a naked woman riding a six monster (like a snake, like a camel), a book in his hand naked women, naked woman behind a burning castle. (True and false pictures: There is no road in front of the castle in the real picture, there is no mountain behind the castle, and the false picture is the opposite.)
Corresponding events: Corresponding to the burning of the castle, Dean Corso and the blonde woman have sex in front of the castle, Dean Corso finds The nine real pictures were completed, and the nine events predicted in the pictures were correspondingly realized in reality, thus opening the ninth door to hell.

    The starting point of the filming is good, but the relationship between the death of the characters and the content of the book is not reflected, and the ending is a bit abrupt. If these details can be handled well, it will be a very good movie!

    I said that when I watched this movie, I felt that the heroine looked so weird. Later, I quickly remembered that she had acted in "Bitter Moon", and then I guessed that this film should be directed by Polanski. Help~ I find myself trapped by all his movie atmosphere. Ang, I just read his profile again and found that he is known for his "bloody smell and romantic sentiment". Well, it turns out that I belong to the person who likes this kind of tune— —//

The Ninth Gate quotes

  • The Girl: What do you plan to do if you see them?

    Dean Corso: I'll probably hide behind you.

  • Dean Corso: Have you studied the engravings? They seem to have some underlying significance.

    Ceniza: But of course.

    [Points to an engraving in the book]

    Ceniza: Here, for example. This one could be interpreted as a warning. "Venture too far," It seems to say, "and danger will descend on you from above." This type of books often contain little puzzles. Especially in the case of such an illustrious collaborator.

    Dean Corso: Collaborator?

    Ceniza: You cannot have proceeded very far with your research, señor. Here, look close.

    [Handles a magnifying glass to Corso]

    Ceniza: Don't you see? Only six of the nine engravings were signed by Aristide Torchia.

    Dean Corso: Yes. And the other three?

    Ceniza: But this is one of them.

    Dean Corso: [Reads through the magnifying class] L... C... F... Who is LCF?

    Ceniza: Think.

    Dean Corso: [Thinks a few seconds] Lucifer?

    Ceniza: Very perceptive of you, señor ! Torchia was burned alive because he wrote this book in collaboration with someone else.

    Dean Corso: Come on! You can't honestly believe...

    Ceniza: The man who wrote this book did so in alliance with the Devil and went to the stake for it.

    [Grinning sarcastically]

    Ceniza: Even Hell has its heroes, señor !
