This from an election tourist. r/the_donald needs its fool back anon. Time to go back.
>She was the prostitute of Babylon you took and Johnny was the devil. Finding a route home.
Also, you're laughably wrong on both statements.
As for this, go back and watch the movie, she leads him through the path on the etchings and each etching corresponds to a scene in the movie. The last etching is her riding a three headed dragon. She fricks corso in one of the last scenes. Sometimes you have to put 2 and 2 together anon.
From the book's version of the character: >"Irene Adler"
aka >The Devil in Love
speculation:
she is the devil, and for some reason has "chosen" Corso for whatever reason.
OR
Corso IS the devil, and has forgotten, like that stray comment from Exorcist III, and she's trying to get him to remember.
Ah. I always thought she was some sort of witch who's been alive for hundreds of years. It's no coincidence Balkan's talking about witches when her character is introduced.
>she is the devil, and for some reason has "chosen" Corso for whatever reason.
This is right when I think about it more.
In film after the fight by the river, Corso is bleeding from his head/face and they go back to his hotel room.
In the book as in the film, she basically "anoints" him with her blood: >"A trickle of blood was running down to her mouth. She put her hand to her face and smiled stoically, looking at her bloodstained fingers. >“It doesn’t matter.” “You ought to see a doctor.” >She half closed her eyes and shook her head. She looked helpless in the dim light of the room, dark spots of blood staining the pillow. Still holding his glasses, he sat down on the edge of the bed and leaned over to hold the handkerchief to her nose. As he did so, his shadow, outlined on the wall by the slanting light from the bathroom, seemed to hesitate a moment between light and darkness before disappearing into the corner. Then the girl did something strange, unexpected. She ignored the handkerchief he was offering her and stretched out her bloody hand to him. She touched his face and drew four red lines with her fingers, from his forehead to his chin. Instead of moving her hand away after this singular caress, she kept it there, damp and warm, while he felt drops of blood running down the four lines on his face. Her luminous irises reflected the light from the half-open door, and he shuddered, seeing in each the image of his lost shadow."
Yeah, I liked From Hell more than Ninth Gate too, although they're both solid movies.
Sleepy Hollow is good too, but I know Cinemaphile hates Tim Burton.
I think the 9th gate is over rated. How could Dean not notice the flying, levitating blonde and go "oh shit all of these people worship satan and want him to come back, maybe there's a connect here"
theres only one flying scene and he's in the middle of getting his ass beat, so he couldn't see it
and it's also pretty clear he ends up being as interested in the ritual as the others given the lengths he goes, even after his falling out with the client
I don't think anyone was looking when the woman was levitating. Also by the end Corso has basically become a satanist, he is no longer merely researching but wants to finish the ritual
>How could Dean not notice the flying, levitating blonde
Blame that on the writers who took the lines from the book and the director that adapted it literally such that it looks moronic: >"This caused Corso to open his eyes again, just enough to make out the flight of steps in his field of vision. But as his face was pressed down against the paving stones, the steps appeared horizontal, crooked, and blurred. So at first he couldn’t tell whether the girl was going up or down. He just saw her move incredibly fast, from right to left, her long legs jumping from step to step. Her duffel coat, which she had just taken off, spread out in the air...He blinked with interest, in an attempt to focus, and moved his head a little to keep the scene in the frame. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Rochefort, his image inverted, give a start as the girl jumped down the last few steps. She fell on top of him with a brief, sharp cry, harder and more piercing than broken glass. He heard a thick sound—a thump—and Rochefort disappeared from Corso’s field of vision as suddenly as if he’d been on springs. Now all Corso could see was the...For a split second Corso saw her silhouetted against the hazy lights of the bridge. She was standing, her legs apart and her hands out in front of her, as if asking for a moment of calm to listen to some distant tune. Rochefort was facing her, with a knee and a hand on the ground, like a boxer who can’t quite get up while the referee counts to ten. His scar was visible in the light from the bridge. Corso just had time to see his look of amazement before the girl again gave a piercing cry. She balanced on one leg and, raising the other in a semicircular movement that seemed quite effortless, kicked Rochefort sharply in the face."
Who stands that fricking close to hand over a drink?
However, that part where she says in that husky manner of hers >No automatic,
and flashes her panties is a sure boner inducer if there ever was one.
Neurons fricking activated with that.
Why do all of Polanski's films involve a woman who is cheating on her husband? Really starting to think that the rumors about him paying Manson to kill his wife are true.
its very comfy. I thought it was a meme but I went to letterboxd and people actually make fun of it. the ninth gate is a Cinemaphile meme only
Only film I actually liked his character
Who was she, really?
Where can I get one?
Lucifer
she isn't lucifer lmao, the entire purpose of the book IS to conjure lucifer.
I always interpreted it as Lucifer using a weak body or a drone to influence the events
It was a ruse
>she
b-but the end scene...
The Devil is Male just like God.
using female forms makes them trannies and anyone who fricks them a homosexual.
Your mind must be a horrible place to live anon. Seek help.
She was the prostitute of Babylon you took and Johnny was the devil. Finding a route home.

Anal
The prostitute of Babylon
>Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and Abominations of the Earth"
This.
Murder by Decree was also far superior to From Hell.

>Corso is bleeding
meant the girl is bleeding from her head and face
It was truly underrated kino. Glad to see some other people here appreciate it.
Wait is it actually rated poorly?
What's not to like?
The director is an over rated hack who is also a convicted child rapist.
Oh so people bombed it because of the director, I get it.
Still doesn't diminish how good the film is though.
But it's not. It's fricking boring, like everything else from polanski.
MUMBO
JUMBO
absolutely POLANSKI'D
I can't indeed.
Ed Wood
probably the only acceptable answer...
i disagree, but I understand
Pirates of the Caribbean

I love when the wheelchair lady says
MR CORGGGSO
MESSIE COGGGSO

>What up tubes
From Hell.
Though this is pretty kino.

To me, Secret Window is the ultimate comfy thriller kino. It’s in my top 10 of all time. I don’t know why but I just love it.
The Ninth Gate is my second favorite Depp movie
He looked so good even when he was clean shaven with that homosexual blond hairstyle.
One of the all time greats.

This scene has one of the greatest line in any movie.
>don’t frick with me Mr Corso.
>I thought I already did?
>Rrreeeeee
