I find it ironic that the brothers are named after two apostles, Peter and Paul, and that they acquired and sold a book on the devil all while living and working in the holiest city in Spain. Toledo was not only the capitol of Visigothic Spain (ending in the year 711), but it was made the capitol again after it was reconquered by Alphonso VI in 1085. It was made the ecclesiastical capitol of Catholic Spain (and still is today) when the top Cardinal took up residence there. Everything that can be said about Catholic Spain takes its cue from Toledo, not Madrid, Santiago de Compostella, Barcelona, Sevilla, or any other place. Hence the expression, "Holy Toledo."

I didn't realise it was the same actor playing both young and older twins. My theory is they know the secret of the ninth gate, they actually make themselves younger every few decades and they are hiding in plain sight as book sellers and repairmen.

@@joejones9520 true - I agree with this theory. Which gives way to interesting speculations. The twins - or one of them at least - are shown as angels guarding the way. Are they fallen angels, ensuring only "valid" candidates walk this road? And is their manipulation their way of making sure only those "worthy" actually reach the gate? Are they then in league with the demon lady, the obvious "helper" sent by the devil himself to ensure his "best candidate" reaches his destination? OR are they actual angels, doing god's will - making sure the "right" candidate gets to join the devil in hell. Does that mean the devil is a natural part of god's creation, as actually hinted at in the bible? That Satan is working for god, and that god HELPS to make sure only those "worthy" get to join his "employee's" crew? Not those that should either be in heaven or burn in hell?

I would not compare it to the prestige in that I own that film and have viewed it many many times since it’s release, and everything down to the most minute details is perfectly laid out for the audience, it’s just that (similar to a magic trick) the film used cuts back and forward, out of chronological order in which they occur, to disorient and distract the audiences with an overwhelming about of information, the way magicians overwhelm the “keen” senses of their audience with stage effects and misdirections. But revisit it once or twice and you’re bound to find every answer you’re looking for (except for the “prestige” trick, that was pure science fiction and meant to be evidently so) In the ninth gate, there is *far* more subtlety and nuance, and many things are simply left for the viewer to decide/decipher/interpret, with no clear cut “this is what happened exactly point for point, irrefutably” synopsis available and to this day I’ve heard several different but equally compelling interpretations of the ninth gate. I hear it’s being remade like as of late last year, with Roman Polanski directing and Johnny Dep starring/producing

The Ninth Gate's been my favorite film for years, and I've never even known, or considered some of these things. I never liked the Ceniza brothers, because of that Doppelganger dynamic they had. But it makes a lot more sense now... I've personally thought the Ceniza brothers weren't necessarily there to help Corso, but that it's all the other stuff the girl is doing that ultimately leads him to open that door. (like finding the ninth engraving) I understood it to be that they knew the secret of the Ninth Gate, but they took precaution enough that neither someone like him, nor Balkan, would ever be able to make it work. (hence the counterfeit page) And that either he'd be killed when he tried it, or be met with catastrophe along the way. And perhaps the Devil was finally able to overcome their efforts...

My theory: The Ceniza brothers were angels (good ones). They intentionally sold their copy to Balkan with the false engraving knowing it would ultimately lead to his doom - as well as the dooms of everyone else associated with the various copies (self-proclaimed satanists). The fall of the scaffolding was a warning to Korso not to pursue the book or engravings any further. If he was as smart and learned as he appeared, he would've made the connection of the brothers' warning and the engraving showing the arrow being shot from the heavens. As it turns out, he did make the connection later but chose to continue his mission anyway, ignoring the warning. As for the ending, I think the brothers were slain/vanquished/sent back to Heaven by "The Woman" (assuming she was either the devil or a fallen angel/demon). She was the one who told Korso where to find the final (real) engraving at the end, probably after she figured it out (somehow) and gone there to deal with the brothers. She could've given the engraving to Korso herself, I guess, but that wasn't her M.O. throughout the film. Plus, I think it was necessary for him to find it himself in order for the ninth gate prophecy to be fulfilled.

Even hes constant smoking and breathing it out through his nose is a bit a hint in my opinion. Ur thoughts on that?

This was very interesting and informative, thx. Those two were for me the most mysterious characters in the movie.

Fargas hit the bullseye when he said "Some books are dangerous, not to be read with impunity."

At 5:22 of your video cineG , there is an engraving of the angel with the bow. At the top of that page there is a Roman numeral 3 or 111. The same 111 green eyes marked him with on the forehead in blood. Now I see how important that mark was because it was the last engraving.

There are 2 things I noticed the last time I saw the film, one very funny where you see hanging on the wall of a posh Parisian building a huge Shell sign (obviously another need to make one of the film's sponsors appear), it's quite improbable and funny. The other thing is the fact that in the Ceniza brothers you can clearly hear the sound of a fly just as the name Lucifer is spoken. ( Belzebuth literally means his majesty of flies).

Here the director had paved Corso's way to the Ninth gates from the very beginning, they also had guided him, just like others. Interesting, thamks!

Hi, yesterday i watched "The ninth gate" again. Its very famous film in Poland when i come from. In this movie there is always something to discover. Your interpretation is disturbing. I will continue to watch the rest of playlist. Great job. Thank You!

Cenizas are the only ones who smiles cheerishfully in the movie: they feel safe knowing the book is harmless after forging a fake 9th-ritual page. But they didn't destroy the original 9th-ritual page, and instead hidden it carelessly. This made me examine another theory: that both two aren't angels, but instead the devil's gatekeepers for hell, and the hidden paper is one kind of test. When they smile so happy in 4:44, it's something like they're thinking "here's another unexpert sheep, oblivious of what is going to do" OR "here's another candidate for trespassing the door to Hell" (like presumably did of Liana Telfer too years prior)

Perhaps there’s another possibility going off just the film. If the brothers feared for their lives and found out the other book owners were dying like flies they may have gone into hiding and they may have been those very same workmen/twin movers at the end of the film. One smokes one doesn’t just like before and it’s the same actor - perhaps they were there before and were closing their shop and trying to run while undercover as basic movers to protect themselves?

I always assumed they didn’t want to get killed and escaped. Which explains the empty shop, not so much that it’s completely empty but if your on the run, you don’t need a store anymore. Plus we saw many were killed over the books and their pages. I always assumed no supernatural aspect to them.

Amazing summaries!

I always thought that the angel above with the mustache was to show that they HAD forged the page and put themselves in the picture.

Really great videos on the 9th gate !!

Excellent analysis

That only took me twenty years to get that answer haha

Ceniza in Spanish means ashes. One of the twins drops ashes on the pentagram on the book's cover. Then they later disappear altogether. They both knew a little too much about the book and its intricacies.

I hadn't thought of that. Nice. I imagined that the power of the book actually fell on the brothers, and that part of this power is being made young again. The deja vue aspect makes more sense and also explains the angel with the moustache nicely.

I dont know why but I watched this movie 5.times

Love this movie but I just noticed that it came out in 1999. Or 6661!

Always interpreted them as also being devil's themselves. Shapeshifters who were one of the last tests and gate guardians for those seeking knowledge and the way of the ninth gate. The forgery was a test and when Corso found it in the end it was being gifted as a reward for being the first worthy.😊

Thanks for this re upload.

On the whole I like the theory of the brothers trying to hide and escape Balkan's wrath. They are bachelors, set in their ways, no other family, why would they just leave their workplace?.. On the other hand, in the book their role and motivation are clear, the last page says it all. In the film... why would they remove and replace that page, with no reward for it?.. Your video explained it: Polansky liked them more as supernatural entities! Thanks to him, we all got the chance to see the real original engraving. In the book it proved not to be necessary in the end.

The Ceniza Brothers are essential characters to the film story, and there are no coincidences in the film. They clearly forged the plate, when the girl anointed Corso, she had already given the answer away, and so the Brothers who were some kind of angelic beings (an angel may appear as multiple voices or images) appointed to hide the answer to the riddle in the 3 books no longer had a purpose ( there is no reason to hide the answer to the riddle as it is now known), Polanski is (I believe) purposely vague about who exactly the Ceniza Brothers were working for.

What you revealed here cineG was mind-blowing about the twins. 👌

The brothers, themselves, are like the engravings... identical, but with subtle differences. One chain smokes, the other doesn't like the smoke. Other than that, they are the same.

Awesome already seen this movie at least twice over the years, so this reveal is truly kismet.

I think they are Imps or lesser devils. May be angels that rebelled. Lucifer was also an angel himself, so it's not farfetched. Also the Girl constantly alludes at her being an angel in disguise, even mocking Corso calling herself his guardian angel. After all, demons ARE angels, just fallen ones.

i have this movie on blue ray. i hope it gets a 4k release

Super Cool....Thank you

The Ceniza brothers had finished their task, just as Fargas, the Baroness and Balkan had. When the Devil is done with you, your time is up. I suspect they had an 'unfortunate accident.'

This movie is very entertaining, but it was a shame how the switch out of of the engraving was totally out of left field, and an audience member couldn't at all predict it. I'm about to sit down and watch this, but I may have seen it before, the one where the analysis hypothesizes the brothers are in fact ghosts. That also didn't resonate with me, despite the ending when they are moving things out, because the movie intentionally skirts outright appeals to the paranormal as an explanation as much as possible (only the girl stands out), and I didn't pick up on any of the hints supporting ghosts at all.

Another difference is their glasses. One far-sighted, one near sighted?

Read the novel. Balkan at the beginning and Balkan at the end are two different people....

they weren't dead they moved on to a different place, otherwise why take so long to clear out the shop?? also the workmen could be relatives or friends instructed to say they were dead to keep people from looking for them

@@RC-qf3mp The nine gates were believed -- by Balkan, Kessler, etc. -- to have been designed to allow an acolyte to summon the Devil . . . but they were wrong. The Devil is starved for love, and She -- yes, the Devil is FEMALE -- played the long game by setting up a system wherein a Seeker could follow the clues She left behind (in those 3 copies of the Book) in order to follow the trail leading to 'union' with Her. She is seen -- by the Audience, but not by Corso -- descending from above in a kind of reverse-levitation, which clues us in that She is more-than-human. This unnamed 'Green-Eyed-Girl' is NOT a mere human. She may be 'clothed' in a human body, but She is not human. How does She know that the final 9th engraving is to be found at the Ceniza Bros. shop? She wrote that on the photocopy of the forged 9th engraving, which She left behind tucked under the windshield wiper when She mysteriously disappeared, leaving Corso alone -- alone to make the discovery he NEVER would have made had She not left him that clue. But how could She have known that the original 9th engraving was to be found there, at the Ceniza Bros. shop? The book -- THE NINE GATES -- was not a means of summoning the Devil. It was a means for the Devil to attract Her longed-for Lover to Her. Notice that when Corso is examining the Kessler version, he sees a figure in one particular engraving about to be struck from behind by a sword-wielding man . . . and what just HAPPENS to occur next? Corso is conked in the head from behind by SOMEONE whom we, the Audience, never see. Who is it who could have managed to get into Kessler's guarded premises without there having been a caller buzzing in over the intercom? Did Balkan manage to sneak in, knock Corso unconscious, murder Kessler, steal the engravings from the Kessler copy, start the fire, and then LEAVE without Kessler's secretary having known he'd gotten in??? Was it Telfer and/or her right-hand-man??? WHO could have gotten in to do all those things? The Devil -- the Green-Eyed-Girl -- was the perpetrator of all those deeds. She didn't murder Corso then, of course. That's not what She was after. She was fulfilling the 'prophecy' in that engraving, with Corso being the one struck from behind, like the figure in that engraving -- right at the moment when he himself was looking at that picture and perhaps wondering what it meant -- just as he had to have wondered whether or not his pal, who'd gotten strung up by one leg in his rare books store, was meant to be the 'fulfillment' of the engraving featuring the Hanged Man. Who killed THAT guy? Balkan? Telfer? NO! It was Her, the Devil, fulfilling the 'prophecies' depicted on the LCF engravings interspersed throughout the 3 copies of the Book. She was the ONLY 'person' who knew to point Corso to the Ceniza Bros. shop after she'd already mated with Corso (following an overt seduction She had instigated -- She having chosen HIM over all others). One might think that as She had already managed to extract his 'seed' during their coupling that She would have no more use for Corso: She had what She needed to produce an Antichrist, the Half-Human/Half-Devil spawn who would play his role in the End-Times drama . . . so what more use would She have for Corso, who had 'fulfilled' those engraved 'prophecies' at her behest? Love. She LOVES Corso. She points him to the Ceniza Bros. shop, where the Ceniza Bros. themselves are pretending to be a different pair of twins (the workmen) who just HAPPEN to tip over that shelf unit right at the one moment when Corso would be there to see the original 9th engraving flutter to the floor -- because She WANTS Corso to see that picture depicting HER pointing towards the LIGHT emanating from the portal into the castle Balkan had purchased -- the one Balkan taunted Kessler about in that postcard, writing "I saw it first!" Balkan saw a photo of that castle, recognized it as the one from the 9th (forged) engraving in the Telfer copy he'd just bought, purchased that castle, sent Kessler the taunting postcard, had a photo of that castle placed on the wall of the auditorium at his BALKAN PUBLISHING headquarters where Corso -- and the Girl -- attended his lecture, where it can clearly be seen . . . Funny how SHE turns up there, then turns up everywhere Corso happens to be on his Quest, so much so that Corso gets the wrong impression that She works for Balkan. No. She is ever-present because THIS is the culmination of the Devil's quest to make a 'love-connection' with a mortal man -- a man worthy of Her in that he is the one who, by comparing the 3 copies, will see how Her plan to hide the ONE version inside THREE differing copies -- a parallel or parody of the Trinity, I suppose -- will lead to her union with Man. She rewards Corso at the end, after having gotten him to 'seed' Her womb, because he was deserving of the 'illumination' that She -- as LCF, as 'Lucifer', the Light-Bearer -- alone could provide. Balkan, had he known what the Devil was really after, would willingly have done Her will, of course, but he had his own preconceptions of What and Who the Devil was. Doesn't Balkan -- and Kessler, too -- refer to the Devil as male? It never occurred to Balkan or Kessler -- or Telfer, or any of the other would-be Satanists indulging in 'hocus pocus' rituals and orgies -- to think that the Devil just MIGHT be Female instead. Is the Devil really an 'evil' spirit entity? All-the-while these events are playing out, presumably there's a 'God' up in Heaven who knows everything that's going on . . . and He does NOTHING to prevent any of the deaths. God ALLOWS this female Devil to accomplish Her goal of mating with Corso (to produce an Antichrist, most probably) and leading him by that final clue to Enlightenment. Why??? For God so loved the world . . . etc. Maybe the Devil, in Her own way, loves the world just as much and, following God's example, wants to couple with a willing Man -- just as God 'did it' with the Virgin Mary -- to create a diabolical Christ-figure, an Antichrist. Thus, Corso becomes a Mary-figure, and just as Mary was believed -- especially by Catholics -- to have undergone an Assumption into Heaven to become the 'Queen of Heaven', Corso is accepted into the Light at that portal into the burning castle Balkan had purchased, which the engravings had depicted 333 years earlier in 1666. The Devil . . . She had a Plan of Her own. It was probably She who persuaded Telfer's husband to sell the copy of THE NINE GATES to Balkan -- and then to commit suicide -- in order to get the game started, to start the dominos falling that would lead Corso through the 'prophetic' moments hinted at in the 9 engravings, all the way to the ultimate moment when he -- having been the ONLY person (other than the Ceniza Bros., who were probably demons acting under Her guidance) to see the actual 9th engraving, rather than an 'AT' version or the forgery inserted into the Telfer copy, and finally enter in through that Ninth Gate. And She did it all for Love!

Perhaps the falling scaffolding was a warning from God to not proceed further but since Corso escaped he was on the road to meet the devil

And one of the two men introduces themselves to Corso when he tries to find out what happened to the original book store. Watch a clip of that scene and you will see what I mean. They may have been played by the same actor but that doesn’t mean that he was playing a set of twins again. If they were, they would’ve made an effort to show both of those characters clearly like they did the first set of twins. To really hammer in that they were twins. I think they just had him play both parts again in that scene to save money. I should have mentioned in my comments above that people need to watch an actual clip of that scene to see what I am talking about. When he introduces themselves to Corso, he says two full and very different names. Also.. it is bad practice for a sith lord to take anything anyone says in a video at face value as absolute gospel.. ie, the creator of this video stating that the second set are twins.. they’re not. He however even stated that the script made no mention of those two being twins like it did with the first set. I don’t remember the names of the second set but I will go find out.. brb

Doppel gangers don't appear side by side and I don't think they talk, either.

That was an interesting movie. The Chick was Lilith. --- Could turn into a Black Dog. --- Played with Dragons (last picture in the book was her) --- Liked being on top. --- Everything was planned by Lilith.

Well, but is Lilith the whore of Babylon too? And the dog wasn’t black. The woman was a demon /servant. She wasn’t in charge. Defeats the purpose of the nine gates to summon Lucifer if Lucifer is there all along.

Those brothers don't look like the same actor.

I always took that they were demons or.. Damned souls forced to serve..

Ceniza is Spanish for “ashes”.

I think that these twins are the judge from the cloud that shooting arrow... They killed everyone who have books... They tried to kill corso too but failed... That's why corso is accepted in hell👍 Twins are like hands of that girl devil, that's why these twins leave last clue for corso after completing the task I think corso killing balkan at the end completes the ritual... That devil girl was waiting for that moment and after making love, she invites corso to hell.....or other side

Huh ?

These very rare and expensive books and they’re all smoking around them and touching the paper with their fingers

A MI ME GUSTO MUCHO EL FILM AUNQUE ALGUNAS COSAS QUEDAN EN EL AIRE PERO .MUCHOS DE LOS FINALES DE POLANSKI SON ASI COMO EN "EL ESCRITOR OCULTO" . SI ALGUIEN PUDE SÚBALA A YOUTIBE LA VI EN ESTE SITIO HACE 4 AÑOS Y ES MB. GRACIAS. Y JOHNNY D. ES MUY VERSATIL CUANDO LE DARAN 1 OSCAR

3:16 didn't every single person die who was involved with the book. I would assume they died.

Wow, How perceptive of you. 😉

Source IMDb: Jose Lopez Rodero was credited as Pablo & Pedro Ceniza / 1st & 2nd Workmen. Thanks for watching.

They're demons.

Polanski should have gone to prison

Great movie. I think that blonde ate them.

Spoiler warnings? Really? On a movie that’s been out for 23 years now? Anyone loses the right of getting a spoiler warning once a movie has been out for at least 3 months, let alone a couple decades plus lol

agree, esp if you purposely CLICK on a video about revealing specifics about a movie that may or may not have a clip some where online. I'd say it'd be hard to follow along if you didn't want to get clues in somewhat of storyline order

7:07 what version did you watched? on the Dvd the workers just saying their names note else
