The discussion for all things movie-related. Love it, hate it, didn't understand it, this is the place to talk about it.

Hey, we're here to help. Don't be afraid to ask.

LOVED IT, up until the very end, that is. I watched it with a friend. I was glued to the screen, on the edge of my seat...and she kept getting up and going off to go do something else. "What are you doing? You're gonna miss it!" "It's kinda slow. I'm not that interested." "WHAT!?"

Cool thanks for that. Thankfully I already have it taped, as I will not be home at that time nor do I have that channel, but thanks for the heads up!

Okay...so was the girl the devil or just an extraneous fallen angel? Enquiring minds want to know! ;D

Thats the one thing I didn't get? was the girl the devil? cause she kept popping up every where, plus that book was meant to raise the devil? than was the point if she/he was already there?

I think the girl was some sort of agent for the Devil...I don't think she was him (or her?). But hey, I could be wrong. The only thing I didn't like about that film was the love scene. It frightened me. I mean, I love to see some Johnny skin as much as the next gal, but watching him fornicate with a Satanic girl with glowing eyes in front of a burning castle with booming chaotic opera in the background strikes me as kind of random. I saw the censored version first and I thought she was killing him. lol Other than that? Great film.

Crap I saw the censored version this past Sunday on the USA network, yeah that love scene was freaky, I was like "Johnnys banging Satan, or his agent"

That was Polanski's whole idea really. Was she an angel? A fallen angel? The Devil? Was the whole Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows just a big joke? It wasn't meant to answer, only leave you hanging. Except for the ending.

Yeah, that's a good take on it too. Perhaps we're supposed to just guess.

Its based on a novel you know how I know, cause its in the library I work on, see I was enjoying the whole thing until the end, it left me with the desire to bang my head against the table. It was scary and all but por favor! :trout:

Yeah, that sex scene was more like a rape scene if you watch Johnny's face! I didn't realize it was based on a novel. I might have to check that out. Perhaps it has more answers.
