2 hrs then this ending?

Roger Ebert said the ending was lackluster, "while at the end, I didn't yearn for spectacular special effects, I did wish for spectacular information — something awesome, not just a fade-to-white"

Ebert just didn't get it.

>I did wish for spectacular information
So Ebert was a 110 IQ midwit plotcuck that needed even the most obvious visual cues explained to him huh

and now he sucks cock in hell

One of the most underrated movies of all time that at least gets some overdue appreciation on Yas Forums.

anyone who defends a film's poor writing by saying "the story is in the images" is a fucking retard

see: all of 2001's defenders

I watched this as a background movie. I like Johnny derp and it's not loud. But I got superduper high and that scene when the old bitch in the wheelchair got killed freak me the fuck out!

you don't belong here, and I think it's time for you to leave

Indeed

>I did wish for spectacular information
What would Johnny Depp have a meeting with Satan like the Architect in the Matrix?

No I think he just wanted more than a guy walking up to a castle at the end. Why was Depp chosen? What’s beyond the gates? If he’s the protagonist why would he wanna go to hell with the devil who transformed into a girl to manipulate and trickfuck him? Shits stupid

was the girl an angel or a demon? hybrid?

Film is a visual medium, not a writing medium brainlet.
>2001
>poor writing
lmao what a retard

>film is a visual medium
So is fucking theatre but no one ever said you had to see a Shakespeare play to understand the plot you fucking dipshit

The book bros are two of my favorite minor characters ever. Weird twin intuition is spooky/fun and even more so in another language/culture.

Haven't seen it but Ebert wasn't a good critic to begin with.

110 IQ?! That’s pretty good compared to most of the posters on this subreddit

>Why was Depp chosen?
It's literally shown leading up to the ending that he finds the correct page that was missing from the puzzle and now possesses the correct sequence/
>What’s beyond the gates?
Hell
> If he’s the protagonist why would he wanna go to hell with the devil who transformed into a girl to manipulate and trickfuck him?
Because he is driven by desire to constantly discover arcane knowledge.

Literally all of this is spelled out in the movie in the most blatant way

I thought the engravings made her look like a guardian of the gate. then at the end she rode corso like she rode the weird multi headed dragon thing in the book.

she was a leviathan, sammy

These posters can't visualize an apple and have completely flat backs of their heads with no occipital bun

But Depp’s character was driven by money he wasn’t obsessed with power and Illuminati bullshit and invulnerability like Frank Langella and that other cunt. He was just a hired hand who knew a shitload about books. They spend the first part of the movie proving this that he’s just a swindler. Then the whore of Babylon literally manipulates every little thing he does and uses a magic devil pussy to give him the ultimate nut, so he wants to go to Hell now?

IMO she was either whore of babylon, lilith or lucifer.

He started off interested in money, but he changed over the course of his journey and became interested in the knowledge and power and not for working for Boris and money.

The ending was the best fucking part of the movie you pleb

>hurr durr magic is real, lets just throw away the whole films worth by putting satan and sex in at the end
Unintelligent.

i mean.....i would. wouldn't you? that was a 10/10 piece of ass, imagine hitting that for eternity

>
Their handling of priceless books whilst spilling cigar ash everywhere was triggering.

>It was Hell!
>She's the Whore of Babylon!

Lmaoing at all these surface-level interpretations. She girl was literally Anima, and the gates of Enlightmentv open for Corso after he finnaly integrates that part of his personality, shown symbolically through the sexual act. The whole film is a metaphor for Hermetic/Gnostic path of self-discovery dressed up with Satanic symbolism.

I guess you don't get that his motives, which I thought was an obvious element of the film, completely changed by the end of the film

In the book she is the devil.
Or Corso is the devil, and she's trying to get him to remember this fact.

10 points above average is 10 points above average

the movie is flawless, from opening credits to open ending

how the fuck do you can't visualise an apple??

>If he’s the protagonist why would he wanna go to hell with the devil who transformed into a girl to manipulate and trickfuck him?
Because the Pussy. Too. Good. I'd have thought that was obvious.

She's the Devil, the sexy sexy Devil.

Ty for responding, I didn't think I'd even get one with my shit bait

>that goofy quasi-slow mo when wheelchair lady is murdered
>flawless
nah that's at least two points off

>I was only pretending to be a brainlet

He went on a journey. Some friends became enemies. Some enemies became friends.

>The whole film is a metaphor for Hermetic/Gnostic path of self-discovery
First rule of film analysis: anyone who says this kind of shit is full of shit. Cinema can never be Gnostic, because it's about appearances and surfaces.

>She girl was literally Anima, and the gates of Enlightmentv open for Corso after he finnaly integrates that part of his personality, shown symbolically through the sexual act.
No.
>The whole film is a metaphor for Hermetic/Gnostic path of self-discovery dressed up with Satanic symbolism.
It's satanic initiation.
