Sean Connery - Name of the rose

[Kwijtraakman]

this movie shows how the dark age really was

[TheInkWitch]

Hands down the best film showing the effects of the inquisition - ever!

My favorite movie since it was made. Finally wore out the VHS and bought DVD for myself a few years back.

The additional information following the film is fascinating as well.

great, amazing movie!

[Suggi1985]

A big part of this movie was made her on the rhine, were I live, in the cloistral Eberbach!!! I love Sean Connery ;-)

[EdOscuro]

Interesting. In the transcript of the movie there is a character (a knight I think) saying (as the transcript writes it) "loos, schnell," probably at the scene where all the peasants toil pushing the cardinals' cabin up the slope.

I wonder if it was intentional to give the Inquisitors / Catholics German mercenaries in the film? They did say it was set in the "dark North of Italy."

[Eskalamener]

Is this fictional?? or it really happened??

[Astelaa]

This is fictional ;) The film based on book "The name of the rose" Umberto Eco.

[Astelaa]

Yes, I've read the book. Umberto was handed a volume written by a monk, but this book was only the source of inspiration for "The name of the rose". Besides, Eco has written more books than "The name...".

[Eskalamener]

wtf?? I thought he just translated it from Latin to Italian... and Umberto wrote "and so I now free to tell, for sheer narrative pleasure, the STORY OF ADSO of Melk" which means Adso wrote it??? I'm not sure :o Anyway thanks for this

[AndreaBorto]

Umberto Eco simple joked. The entire novel is from his imagination. There was no Adso from Melk and the joke of manuscript was only a literature artifact to make more realistic the entire fiction. Surely if Eco started his book with "Once Upon a time..." you maybe felt like to read a fable and don't be captured, :-D !

[leuchtfeuer1]

Exactly!

[EdOscuro]

The joke is continued at the beginning of the film, where they say the movie is a "palimpsest" of the original novel.  A palimpsest is a page that has been partially overwritten or reused.

Nifty music + movie mash here.

[Griett42]

I read the book , watched the film, I'm hooked on it ! Humberto Eco is a genious and Jean-Jackes Annaud did a master piece with this novel.

Zigsauer, I agree with you, knowledge means power.

[sisifo]

we write Umberto within 'H'

[zigsauer]

All about Aristotle

All about power

Aristotle = Thought + Science = Ultimate Power
