I pick the second one because, although I am The Daring Dealer, I just didn't get it. *shrugs* If Roman Polanski was out to confuse us, he did one heck of a job with this Angel.

I would definitely agree with you there. I love Johnny's character, but the film itself is so very cryptic. Talk about weird.

I'm with you. I can sorta see the symbolism there, but what afterwards? He goes through the door, and what?  |

I voted for could've done without it! I liked the whole thing until the end. I just couldn't understand why he would go back...he'd already met up with the devil. But it didn't totally ruin the film--the rest of it was great! Just not the last minute or so. ;D

i picked the 2nd one cuz it gave the story that unusual twist i always love and it was just sooo wierd and confusing, it left me struck with awe....roman polanski did a great job keeping the auidnce at the tip of their chairs  |

I thought the ending was very disappointing. There is a fine line between being subtle and being cryptic, and I think Roman Polanski crossed it with this one.  |

I love Roman Polanski. His Macbeth is so very GUUUH, but the ninth gate was just... too...  |

Indeed. Roman Polanski is a brilliant director (ever seen a movie called The Pianist?) but he just...took it a little too far with The Ninth Gate.

It's not that I didn't get it, it's just that I thought the ending could've been so much better. It's a great idea, Roman Polanski just didn't do it right I guess.
