For a person who has no religious belief, after watching "The Ninth Gate", he doesn't know much about the various metaphors and religious ideas in the film. When it comes to The Divine Comedy, the Bible, and Faust, I am also at a loss. But at least I got it. It's a spiritual movie about demons. Temptation, greed, lust, etc. are all summons of the devil. When you respond to him obsessively, no matter how much you yearn and desire the energy of the devil, you hope to see the demeanor and power of the devil, but the devil is not kind. Merciful good. Sometimes the closer to him is the closer to death. That kind of strong belief support, at the moment of death, it was found in vain that it was just obsession.
Wonderful plot laying, good-looking picture framing, appropriate music rendering. The director did not disappoint, a good film full of connotations. Depp, who is still young, is charming with such a young flesh and blood.
All in all, a movie that I like very much, it is still very fascinating to watch it slowly.
