An astounding labyrinth!! All within the walls of the monastery! Many secrets, dead and forgotten stuff. Many books as well!! Full of Stuff! We must be careful what we let in our eye and ear gates. Especially without power in Jesus Christ. The inquisitor has come. The murderous demon Bernard Guey. I pray he's in hell.
Even being an abbey, and probably built after Hogwarts (Hogwarts was in 993), some of it's scenery riminds me of it. Although, this place seems rather more "abandoned" and darker than Hogwarts is.
Also in the part 8, when they discovered the secret entrance: Sherlock Holmes and the Library of Secrets XD
At 7:47 when he says my teeth, his face changes.. Very freaky.. If you look closely, his eyes are yellow with a slit like a cat, and his teeth are fangs.
At 0:23 he said: "Beatus of Liébana". He was a monk, the author of that masterpiece, but that version of a book was imitated by Umberto de Bologna. Propably theese words you couldn't understand.
The most valuable things ever in creation, are the works committed to paper from the hearts and minds of wise men (and women). The coming scene where the library is burned is the acme of symbolism for the "dark ages"- human knowledge had to be supressed in order to preserve the "social order" of the time. Whats sad is history has a way of repeating itself.
@jimmykicker7775 Not really. Especially not with the internet. No writing, no idea and no image can really ever be deleted from peoples knowledge. Not by any power on earth. All people now do by demanding the banning of books, and films, even video games now is make them an instant success.
hey sean connery is amazing! to you you may think he sucks but have you ever seen him in finding forrester he was amazing in that! He is doing a good job in this movie . i guess not everyone like connery well to each his own
This movie is terribly overrated and the book is vastly superior to this .......crappy movie. Sean Connery's performance is awful as always, the man can't play any other but himself.
I have to disagree ! ! Yes the book is good as well as the movie is ! ! Sean proves he can play other than Bond ! ! Love the movie, Ron Pearlman is great as Salvatore ! !
@Bagheerah Isn't freedom of interpretation one of the book's many lessons? Or, rather, interpretive ambiguity? (e.g. the fine line between heresy and mysticism, which suggests the ambiguity behind signs)
Maybe some day we no longer have electricity. Our computers will be useless. Or there could be some solar flair that erases all harddrives. Electronics is actually more fragile than books in many ways.
One of my art history professors owns a few small Bibles from this era, and she showed one of them to us during class. She bought them back in the 70's and 80's, but now she says such items are so in demand that now even on her salary she can't afford to buy anymore.

you're welcome, by the way, I think Umberto de Bologna is a fictional character and refers to Umberto Eco who is related to Bologne in Italy.

THAT "Movie" is just a free INTERPRETATION
of the book of Umberto Eco,
most of the scenes doesn't exist in the book,
but more of them are missing...
READ THE BOOK...

In other words: a reasonable person.
How many times have I cried for the lost works of antiquity? How many tears for the libraries long forgotten?
Books are the thoughts of people who died ages ago. Their bodies are dust. Their books are all that's left.
How sad that so much is lost. How wonderful what little still remains.

Well, we now have computers. A match isn't gonna do the trick in the future. Pretty much every written work ever is likely safe at this point.
