Anita Neal When he is at the baroness library yes, but not at this public library. The pen cost like 1000us$, I don't understand why Corso has buy it...
This is a great scene. I love the comparison of the dictionary with the Ninth Gate. This movie was not made that long ago, but it sure feels like I'm living in a different world. I say this because people my age nowadays don't lug around dictionaries with them. I collect unabridged dictionaries. The oldest one I own is from 1864. It's a significant edition for Merriam-Webster, because that was the year that illustrations first appeared in the dictionary; the dictionary has a content section devoted to descriptive and elaborate hand drawn illustrations. Historically, the separate content section devoted to illustrations ended around the year of 1944. Illustrations can of course still be found in modern dictionaries, only, you have to fan through each page to find one, and it will be generic, unless you own an Encyclopedic Edition. A fantastic modern one is "Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedic Edition" from 1977.
The music in this film perfectly captures the tone of the movie. It creates a sense of 'old' dread and forboding... The ninth gate is second only to night of the demon as my favourite horror movie!
I really dig the following Roman Polanski pictures: Chinatown, Frantic, and particularly The Ninth Gate. For some reason I find them incredibly immersive. There's a hauntingly solitary feeling in the atmosphere in these films, which is a great mechanism for telling mystery/suspense-style detective stories. Another picture that comes to mind for me, in a similar vein, is "Vertigo" by Alfred Hitchcock.
“We have to film this in Europe due to the director’s inability to travel to the US, how do we make this European library look American?” “Toss up a giant Stars & Stripes!”
The way he parts the books on the shelf with a devil horns gesture, then seals the book back on it's shelf by modifying and transforming the gesture with the movement of his middle finger and ring finger are very interesting, as well as him tracing his fingers along the books before anointing the bookshelf by grazing it's batten, and then finally tapping the book he wants to 'open' before choosing it are all very superstitious, or ritual-like. The fact that he does this all right before he sees Green Eyes is almost subliminally suggesting that the book's written contents - that the audience never sees or hears about - are propelling him to act in a ritualistic manner in order to open the ninth gate. Each progression of scenes in the story are moments in the book that Corso chooses to subconsciously re-enact. Green Eyes being the familiar that guides Corso to his destination. With that said, Johnny Depp is basically playing Stephen Strange in this.
I have total love this film its just fantastic piece of work so powerful and taking place you never know am Marcus England and looking for some just like her body looks and fantastic eyes
Wouldn’t be surprised if this is just an error in production: the prop Depp used here may not be the carefully designed copy for close-ups where the pages and illustrations are going to be under closer scrutiny. Even if intended to be different (which they absolutely are) the version that mimics the woman’s face is definitely a separate prop.
It's an error. The engravings from the first part of the scene (the big catalog book being compared with the ninth gates) are from the original design of Reverte's El Club Dumas book i0.wp.com/cosmoversus.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/nov_puerta_lam9.jpg?w=249&ssl=1 made by the Spanish artist Francisco Solé. Polanski commissioned Solé to redo the engravings with slight changes (the girl and the castle along many more changes) for the movie.
At 0:46 appears in the library the girl and she disappear immediately; she does the same few seconds after; I guess "she" is a Succubus. See the sex scene from the end.
Just like I have never particularly liked Bruce Willis, so I have never been engaged in Johny Depp. But to play Corso is like to play Deckard in Blade Runner, Neo in the Matrix or Hallenbeck in The Last Boy Scout. In fact, The Last Boy Scout is the only movie I like starring Willis - his other movies are not bad but seem fading in comparison to play Hallenbeck. This movie is just amazing, absolutely cool from the first second to the very last, very intelectually stimulating, and just cool regarding acting, scenario and a creative aspect. A fun fact - "Lucifer", which means "to bring the light", is not mentioned throughout the Bible in any way whatsoever, period. Even Isaiah 14, which says about "a star falling from heaven", is not about "Lucifer"; because such name is just not mentioned there. Apart from that, Isaiah 14 is not a messianic prophecy, nor an eschatological prophecy - Isaiah 14 is about The Kingdom Of Babylon which was sent by God to punish 12 tribes of Israel for ignorance and idolatry - it is the prophecy which has been already fullfilled and is tied to Ester 14 - Enslavement of 12 tribes of Israel. "Lucifer" was never mentioned in the Bible, period. A fun fact: "The Christ, who is Maššiách in hebrew", does not mean "Saviour" but "The Annointed" because Maššiách is the King and The Priest according to a messianic psalm 110. Moreover, The Christ is called "The Light" or "The Star" in a messianic prophecy Numeri 24, 15 - 19 (a prophet Balam), a messianic prophecy Isaiah 9, 1 and Revelation 22, 16. Thus, a name "Lucifer" means literally "The Christ, Maššiách - The king and the priest", who is the Light/Star bringing the light to the world, but is not named as "Lucifer" but "The Christ/Maššiách". Perhaps Polanski had not even had idea what he has created - but a result has been just splendid - and on many levels. This is one of the best movies ever done, period.
Great details here. Polanski knew perfectly what he was creating alongside J.Brownjohn and Urbizu. This movie is a masterpiece with A LOT of symbolism in it. But it requires to completely delve into it to fully get the true message it conveys imho. The answers are in the engravings and the parallels you can draw between these, Corso and Balkan.

I used to replay this scene over and over again. I later learned it was asmr
Chango Chilemba it helps people fall asleep to
He had enough information by this time to give Boris his book back and confirm that it works. The Devil was on his arse from the moment he took it!
Anita Neal Yes! And do you know why Dean Corso is using a Montblanc Agatha Christie ballpoint limited edition (with the silver snake clip)?
mathieu Aubin I suppose because he was an agent of Lucifer all along. I noticed that he is in the book as the praying Monk about to get bludgeoned.

We are living in a world of dark clouds and clouds of light and it will never end.

The whole time, the devil watched and protected him.
devil does not protect anyone, dont be deceived!
Succubus
"She" is quite haunting!💖

That's exactly my thought when seeing this!
And a giant (partially seen) painting of George Washington.

Will Rueb Very insightful take on the acting. Interesting to say the least. Whether it's accurate or not, only Roman and J.D. know.
amazing amount of detail!
Except he literally did none of those things. Are you retarded or something?
Beautiful stalker.
Lucky bastard wish I had a green eyes stalking me
Emmanuelle, my Love
He left a priceless book on the table and got a thick-ass book and put it on top of the priceless book. Makes perfect sense.
Later he hides it behind a mini bar fridge. Water and ancient paper baby
@@shreddykrueger3776 A Gxrman 88 cant penetrate an ancient Book
GREAT movie !
Swish my whistle im guded
I have total love this film its just fantastic piece of work so powerful and taking place you never know am Marcus England and looking for some just like her body looks and fantastic eyes
"This reminds me of that time you tried to drill a hole through your head."
"That would've worked if you hadn't stopped me."
1990s paper research :D
Don't fuck with me!
I thought I already did.
Appreciate the clip. But calling it The Ninth Gate - Library Scene is like the title Saving Private Ryan - War Scene, lol.
A rare Ulysses is a good one too...motivation.
I ship him with Mort Rainey. I wrote a fanfic of them together called Book Smart. And the first chapter is called "Writer's Block".
💖💖💖💋💋💋
River Styx
What would happened when i study that book ? Nothing no Woman that is interested in me
We're not actually going to be doing that - raising the dead?
We have holidays for that
At the end He gets to meet the devil but why would he want to. The price is too high.
what why.. meet him ..
You don't get to Heaven without encountering him...
Never noticed that the castle changes in the pictures. Mistake or something more?
The woman in the book has a hand petting the dragon, in next shot she's pointing towards castle.

In one engraving it has three turrets, in yet another, four. And yes, this becomes important later on.
Its an error.

Every time I have watched this movie I’ve fallen asleep at some point. I don’t think I’ve ever actually watched it straight through
You are unworthy
Why does it put you to sleep?
He is not ready yet

did he just pronounce "Leceat": Lukeat? Oh god why
Hackeronte Ciceronian Latin always pronounces the “C” as a hard sound. I don’t know about church Latin though.
