Adeso, a student of Brother William, met a beautiful girl from the mountain village. The two fell in love at first sight and fell in deep love. Adesso's peaceful monk life was disrupted: in the Middle Ages, monks could not have secular love, and common people had no opportunity to receive education. If Adesso chooses to continue to learn knowledge from his teacher, he must abandon his love; if he chooses to be with his beloved girl, he will lose the chance to calm down and learn knowledge. After a difficult choice, Adesuo rode a horse and disappeared into the girl's teary eyes. However, when he was old, Adesso said: "...I have learned a lot from my teacher and become an erudite person. I have never regretted my original choice. But what appeared in my dream every night, It's the girl who doesn't know the name."
Brother William told Adso: "A life without love is peaceful, safe, monotonous, and boring."
From these two points alone, it seems to be a romance. Genre, but the French director Jean Jacques Arnault's "The Name of the Rose" is classified in the suspense category.
The whole film always uses gray-blue as the main color, allowing the audience to experience a unique cold atmosphere in the Middle Ages. There are two highlights in the film: One is the nature where Adesso and the beautiful mountain girl are located. , The beauty of the girl and the beauty of nature blend together; the other is that the monastery tried to burn the great works of the ancient philosophers with fire, but instead burned down the monastery that symbolized the fortress of religious forces, and the raging fire burned a piece of gray in the darkness. bright.
"The Name of the Rose" tells the story: in the Benedictine Abbey in northern Italy, several murders occurred one after another, which aroused people's panic and various speculations. Most monks believed that this was God's punishment in accordance with the prophecies in the "Bible Revelation". The monk William and his disciple Adesso did not believe this statement. They conducted a secret investigation and discovered that this series of tragedies was related to a collection in the monastery. This book is related. This book by Aristotle explains people from a natural point of view. Its arguments are completely contrary to the religious theories preached by the church at that time. Joerg, who was crazy and ignorantly believes in religious theories, is afraid that people will read this book. Re-understanding the truth, overthrowing the doctrines passed down by the Catholic Church for hundreds of years, and smearing the poisonous book on the book, causing everyone who read it to die bizarrely, falsely claiming to be God’s punishment. After the conspiracy failed, Jorge set fire to the library containing human spiritual wealth. William risked his death to rescue a batch of books, but the century-old monastery was reduced to ashes in the fire.
The film uses William's mouth to say: Be wary of the prophets and those who are ready to dedicate their lives for the truth, because they usually pull many people to die with them, often with them first, and sometimes die for them. "
Aristotle has a famous saying: A rose, no matter what its name, smells the same fragrant.
This sentence is the origin of the film . It seems to have nothing to do with it. If you think about it, it is natural.
Love and truth are like roses, no matter what name they are replaced with, they radiate the same fragrance. Despotism cannot bury them, centralized power cannot kill them, and death cannot destroy them.
Note: The original work of "The Name of the Rose": Umberto Ecco

    Brother William in my heart can only be UmbertoEco himself. Even if Sean plays a good role, it is difficult to cover up the thin plot of the movie. Some words really cannot be expressed in images, so those who like it should go to the original book instead of the movie. Wonderful times.

    It was played as a mystery movie in the class, but there is actually no superb reasoning...a bit boring...but it seems that the original book is famous...

The Name of the Rose quotes

  • William of Baskerville: [after finding the secret room of books in the tower] How many more rooms? Ah! How many more books? No one should be forbidden to consult these books freely.

    Adso of Melk: Perhaps they are thought to be too precious, too fragile.

    William of Baskerville: No, it's not that, Adso. It's because they often contain a wisdom that is different from ours and ideas that could encourage us to doubt the infallability of the word of God... And doubt, Adso, is the enemy of faith.

  • William of Baskerville: My venerable brother, there are many books that speak of comedy. Why does this one fill you with such fear?

    Jorge de Burgos: Because it's by Aristotle.

    William of Baskerville: [Chasing after Jorge who runs with the Second Book of Poetics by Aristotle intending to destroy it] But what is so alarming about laughter?

    Jorge de Burgos: Laughter kills fear, and without fear there can be no faith because without fear of the Devil, there is no more need of God.

    William of Baskerville: But you will not eliminate laughter by eliminating that book.

    Jorge de Burgos: No, to be sure, laughter will remain the common man's recreation. But what will happen if, because of this book, learned men were to pronounce it admissable to laugh at everything? Can we laugh at God? The world would relapse into chaos! Therefore, I seal that which was not to be said.

    [he eats the poisoned pages of the book]

    Jorge de Burgos: In the tomb I become.

    [he tosses the book at the candle, which ignites a fire that destroys all the books in the abbey tower]
