This is an inexplicable movie, a mysterious, eerie movie, an unsolved mystery (2005.09)

This is a movie that cannot be told, a mysterious, eerie movie, a mystery that cannot be solved.

Polanski's blank space is naturally intentional. I like blanks like this.

When watching a movie with classmates, their mouths can't stop, they always try to figure out every plot, speculate on the development of the story, and comment on every scene. This habit of theirs annoys me. I hate being around when I watch a movie.

Movies like "The Ninth Gate" without a clear theme and a clear plot are intolerable to them. They are, however, more candid and unbridled in their disdain for such films.

Watching a movie is actually very personal, and watching a movie like The Ninth Gate is especially personal.

I'm not going to say what I understand or speculate about those blank spaces, and I hope you don't either.

We don't have to say what we think about the film. If there is a chance, let's watch it together. After reading it, we leave silently back to back.

Watching "The Ninth Door" is definitely a personal experience, and thankfully none of my classmates were interested in this "nervous" film, so I was able to watch it on my own. After watching a movie alone, a movie called "The Ninth Gate", this experience is worth remembering!

The old Polanski also made a movie called "The Devil's Child", which also involved mystery and supernatural. In fact, when the old Polanski filmed films such as "Cold Blood", he had already practiced the ability to control mysterious themes. The difference is that "Cold Blood" focuses on the psychology, while "The Ninth Door" and "The Devil's Baby" focus on the heart.

    The heroine is my wife, and I am amazed how many people can be photographed with the same face, and all three sexes appear. The soundtrack is pretty good, especially the ending song. As for the plot to be studied, Western metaphysics do not understand.

    Because I haven't seen Polanski's film, I can't say whether it is out of standard, but too much blank space may not have artistic conception, but it is a journey to find the door of magic using nine illustrations and witch pointers, which is a bit dull. Maybe it's because I was ready to watch a thriller and didn't get the shock
