I LOVE THIS MOVIE. I first watched it in Osaka about five years ago with my bf at the time. I remember eating delicious noodles, fanning from the hot weather, and watching this awesome movie on our little tv. then going out for okonamiyaki and coming back to watch it all over again. sigh... fun times.
Definitely read the book. As good as the movie is, the book will give you a lot more detail and background to everything, plus a few more characters that are not in he movie.
The book is one of the greatest written in the 20th century, I surely love Eco's works! The movie has simplified the storyline and some possible levels of interpretation are completely missing but we cannot expect more from a mere film. I hope more people will read the book after watching it, that's all I can say!
Franciscans still exist today to provide an example of simplicity and humble service. The film and the book are a faithful portrayal of Franciscan thinking. Connery portrays the Franciscan (with his faults as well) superbly.
this and the ninth gate have deeper meanings. but esp this which is about the courage to dare think for urself and to throw off superstitious baggage of xtian morons
I've read the book but I've forgotten whether I liked it or not. What I do remember is that I was put off by the author in the introduction swearing black and blue that he was just 'translating' an 'original manuscript'.
I tried to read the book, but Umberto Ecco has such a distinct and hard writting...it was rough to get from one page to another without consulting wikipedia from time to time...
This is an exaggeration of what life was like in the "dark ages". Until the plague came along, life was only like this for the poorest of the poor, of whom there were plenty -- just like there are today. It wasn't actually overcast all the time in the "dark ages" with mutant dung farmers scrounging around in rubbish heaps all day :-)
@ijwi you're wrong. when 90% of people lived as peasants oppressed at will by knights who obeyed little law, i'm pretty sure life was dark and short, just as it is in much of the third world, like somalia, darfur, the congo, or afghanistan.
@ijwi I have to agree with ijwi on this. Even before the plague, life was very hard in these times. The infant mortality rate was extreme. Medical knowledge was scarce and people died young. Serfs were the property of their lords (no rights whatsoever) and they had to give part of their harvest, regardless of how little their small strip of land yielded that particular year. The church did try to curtail the worst abuses, but the monks did no work themselves and had to be fed as well.
@ijwi Most people living then were peasants and life in the middle ages was described as "nasty brutish and short" but that's from a modern perspective of course. People would not have had such high expectations of life then. Imagine living though with no medical services and no representation through voting. Life events would have beyond people's control and the vast majority of the population was illiterate so superstition would have been common.
@ijwi Yes, there is no doubt life was harsh in those times, but in medieval movies it is *always* overcast or rainy and the peasants are *always* dirty, toothless and deformed. Monty Python made fun of this in the Holy Grail where they are slopping around in the mud for no apparent reason. On the commentary John Cleese pointed out that they actually had good teeth because they had hardly any sugar in their food. Also, before overcrowding and worsening diets, they were about as tall as we are.
we all creatate superstions when uncanny nature death occurs in such a remote time and place till this day.but also know that even till this day we would rather blame evil forces.and the fact of denial of what is in just historical human nature when comes to religion and morals that are always changed and twisted to 20th century mass hysteria.
@gyreenedoc No, nothing in either the film or the book is based on actual events. The original novel, however--which was quite different from the film--was meticulously well-researched in its details and historical background, although the events were still fictional.
@MANofINACTION it's an astrolabe, used for all kinds of star calculations- and yes, to calculate qiblah. i'm sure there's much online about them, google is a better search engine than youtube comments.
this was an intriguing book. (although I hate it when people claim their fiction is the absolute truth, just to set the scene. - I found the whole - I just translated the manuscript a bit annoying.)
What was the relationship b/w the monks and the townspeople? It seemed to me by watching the movie that they forced people to give them their goods(food they grew)? or did they volunteer to do this? Im confused if anyone knows, I'd really appreciate ur help
Did they fish up the ugliest people they could find to be in this movie just to highlight Sean Connery's sexiness? Oh, Christian Slater's pretty too I guess. I mean jeez! I know this movie takes place in the Dung Ages, but people weren't mutants back then!
@Bautisnemo But a movie which is worth being watched many times and each time reveilling more details and hints that can also be found in the book. Sometimes the movie made me open the book again and read a passage again.
@pixelsilva because the guys in Stockholm are meaningless and have been for a decade. If granting Obama a preemptive peace prize didnt kill the prizes for you, what will
Making this movie was an Act of God. Getting the money from diverse sources and assembling an international cast is a a miracle. Sean Connery was excellent in this movie. Many actors who are supporting cast in European movies are in here.
This movie is simply sublime. Anyone who cannot appreciate this master work of dark aesthetics combined with acute psychological subtleties...should stick to American Idol and Two and a Half Men. This film is left untouched by such sophomoric,dumbed down mass entertainment. This is the most astute upload I have seen in some time.
Yes thank you so much.My cousin worked at Blockbuster and couldn't get this. It was popular back in the mid 80's but something must have gone wrong with the distribution rights in the last 20 years because it is tough to find and HBO,Showtime,etc,-never show it. Thanks again....awesome.
This is the first time I put the 'name' omittance riddle together. It always just seemed like a broadcast or technical screw up till now. I guess that makes me a pretty poor Sherlock.
he's not a monk. in the film, he's 007 in disguise...... drax is trying to kill him, but he's 007, a.k.a. immortal, he will have to wait until he's filthy rich and changes his name

Everyone is always saying ugliness is a curse. But after watching this film, I think it'd be funny to be unbelievably ugly. Just look at all those monks! They're great!
"The exterior and some of the interiors of the monastery seen in the film were constructed as a replica on a hilltop outside Rome, and ended up being the biggest exterior set built in Europe since Cleopatra. Many of the interiors were shot at Eberbach Abbey, Germany. Most props, including period illuminated manuscripts, were produced specifically for the film"
Hello...could some one tell me the exact location where this movie was filmed? Many times google earth has excellant photos, etc..., of these places. Many thanks. please email.
Amazing writer. Convoluted, complex, intriguing and fun as hell.
Read Foucault's Pendulum for some of his finest work. This book is very good, but the Pendulum is so vast in scope it could never be made into a film.
One of Sean Cannery's strongest performances, as a medieval Sherlock Holmes, plus all the monks featured are very outlandish looking, and almost resemble living caricatures.
truly a great but pretty unknown movie, this movie comes across as a movie the connery did believing that it would do well , but it did not. still a great movie
"The 100 Years War"{actually 107}pitting Catholics against Protestants& vice-versa all over Europe the Crusades&Inquisition must have been a breath of fresh air!How did we Yids get caught up in the middle and slaughtered enmasse?

The casting is perfect also the accent with italian, russian, german influences and parts when they speak and pray in Latin.

Everyone is always saying ugliness is a curse. But after watching this film, I think it'd be funny to be unbelievably ugly. Just look at all those monks! They're great!

"The exterior and some of the interiors of the monastery seen in the film were constructed as a replica on a hilltop outside Rome, and ended up being the biggest exterior set built in Europe since Cleopatra. Many of the interiors were shot at Eberbach Abbey, Germany. Most props, including period illuminated manuscripts, were produced specifically for the film"

Umberto Eco. Semiotics professor in Italy.
Amazing writer. Convoluted, complex, intriguing and fun as hell.
Read Foucault's Pendulum for some of his finest work. This book is very good, but the Pendulum is so vast in scope it could never be made into a film.

One of Sean Cannery's strongest performances, as a medieval Sherlock Holmes, plus all the monks featured are very outlandish looking, and almost resemble living caricatures.
