- Who knew that two old men discussing a book on hell would be so relaxing!
A spectacular ASMR scene from the Johnny Depp/ Roman Polanski film The Ninth Gate where a pair of twins give their opinion of The Ninth Gate book. These guys REALLY love books!
I don’t own this. All rights go to the respective film companies.

These kind of scenes are by themselves masterpieces. Very rare these days, on the brink of extintion.
I agree. I don’t really experience it in modern films. There’s another great Polanski ASMR film called The Tenant. His voice/ mannerisms are so perfect.
@@TheRubberStudiosASMR Didn't know that movie, I'm gonna watch it. Thanks!
Absolutely
Secret window is a good one too, one of my favorite movies.
Most recent movie or show that got me was an episode of The Outsider on HBO. Don't remember which episode but it was a diner scene with Ben Mendelsohn and another actor I forget the name of.
This is the perfect movie to catch on tv on a rainy afternoon
FUN FACT: The "two" old men are actually played by one actor, José López Rodero. The magic of film making!
Really? Damn! I thought they were twins lol
@@TheRubberStudiosASMR lol same.
And one of them are voiced by Polanski...
You want another fact? The same actor plays the two guys at the last scene, when Corso finds the missing original engraving!
IV actors
One of the best movies I've ever watched. Notice one interesting fact that Corso is the only one who went through the danger described in a book (the collapsing scaffolding), but it also signified that he did not acquire the missing engraving (9th-last one).
He was also the only one who saw or was a part of the situation shown in an engraving in the book (saw his friend hanging upside down, dealing a killing blow to Balkan as he was praying, being ridden by the woman, etc.) - all nine gates of hell. The were also 9 deaths in the movie.
Question is, did Corso succeed in the end or was he deceived by the master of deception?
The movie is filled with mystery, deep and full of symbols, while the soundtrack is mesmerizing.
In my opinion, film is underrated.
Outstanding perspective. Best I've read on this film, ever.
What we know is that Corso got some
Bro this movie is an ASMR treasure trove. The scene when he visits Portugal where the guy with the shrinking personal library compares the two copies of the book with each other... that one is so awesome. And honestly, I've listened to Polanski's commentary many times too, because he has a lot of good production anecdotes about this movie and tells it all with a soothing accented voice :)
Why do you feel its good with ASMR?
@@RaZeRbLaDeZ Hands over textured paper and leather.
It really is
A masterpiece with Johnny Depp
The whole film is ASMR. That melodic score, often soft-spoken dialogue. I actually find it bloody annoying how many times I watch this film and it unintentionally leads me to the lad of nod.
Me too about 100 times 😂
It is a very slow burn film that has a great atmosphere of comforting banality with just a hint of sinister undertone to keep you on your toes. A good comfort food film.
Idk... all them cigarettes near incredibly rare books is enough to give me a heart attack 😂 but the sound in this film is impeccable.
Lol, and yet those very same rooms would look out of place were they _not_ discreetly veiled with wisps of cigarette smoke.
The two old men surnames are Ceniza which translates as "ashes". Interesting that the brother that smokes drops ash on to the book and wipes it away. The other connection is that the author of the book was burned at the stake.
"Even hell has their hero's".
The irony of a master book restorer absently dropping hot cigarette ashes on a rare million dollar volume is hysterical
Incredible movie. Real masterpiece.
Yes
This movie is fantastic. I’ve loved it for years. Depp was at his finest here and the underground book trade is so fascinating. The only thing stopping this movie from being flawless is the abrupt ending. It’s a shame.
Yeah from what I remember the ending was shite
It...does seem to come out of nowhere a bit and end rather ambiguously. Took me a couple watches to really process what happened.
Apparently, much like the theme of the film itself, the ending is purposely ambiguous and too esoteric for the casual viewer to understand - hence quickly dismissed.
"even hell has its heros señor mhmhmhmhmh..."
I only discovered what ASMR is less than a year ago, years after I first watched this movie. But I always remembered the sounds in this movie and how much I loved them. In this scene in particular, I always remembered how great everything sounded and how I could "watch" it with my eyes closed. . Listening to this after discovering ASMR is breathtaking (I have noticed that I pay more attention to sounds thanks to ASMR videos on youtube) . Now I can appreciate the movie even more.
What is ASMR though ? Why everyone is saying it's ASMR. SORRY for my ignorance
@m.n.s.s2825 It's basically just relaxing content. Look up online for what it stands for.
There 3 more good tingle scenes in this movie. The beginning pre hanging, the opening scene after the credits, and when he visits the man with the collection on the floor.
Seriously, there's s community of people that are ASMR:ing to this film? I thought I was alone in this? Seriously, I've used this film especially to fall asleep to more than +100 times. It's my favourite in that regard, together with Blade Runner and Where Eagles Dare.
Welcome home:)
"I've used this film especially to fall asleep to more than +100 times"... I did the same for years, and sometimes I also listen to it while playing the piano and doesn't bother me at all.
Even hell has its heroes senor!
Polanski movies in general are a treasure trove. Chinatown Nicholson searching in the Hall of Records, walking on pavement and crumpling up the paper from his windshield and winding watches, click clacking a coffee cup and reading a newspaper, Ghostwriter Ewan McGregor cleaning out the dresser and finding the envelope, many scenes of riffling pages and going through mail in a mailbox, footstep sounds, click clacking on a laptop...Bob Ross and Polanski served me well for years prior to ASMR exploding. Also All the Presidents Men and Parallax View by Alan Pakula..
They are incredibly cavalier to be smoking in a bookstore
Smoking is an art. Books are ancient art so, why not binding them together for a moment
Only one of them smokes. The other detests it, but enjoys the excuse to fuss at the one.
Lofl you clearly haven’t spent much time in the antiquarian books trade
Lets get wild
As an added Note about The Movie "The Ninth Gate", I would be remiss if I did not mention Johnny Depp's Stellar performance in this movie; Those of us who have grown up watching Johnny Depp as an Actor can appreciate his growth in his Craft; Without going into specific movies...I can't say that I've enjoyed other movies, even recent ones, as much as I've enjoyed his acting in "The Ninth Gate"
Yeah I like his smaller films more
Did you see him in The Secret Window?
Don't miss it :)
The best ASMR scenes seem to be the ones when characters admire an object. Especially a book
Born from the fires of Hell, so I think the books will be fine.
Best movie
In the novel it turns out that this scene took place in an empty old abandoned shop and Corso spoke to apparitions
*WOW............ talk about eerie !*
This scene got me interested in book binding.
Me too
This whole movie made me a "Historian of the Book" nowadays. Watched it at the end of 2000 when I was only 10 years old and I went crazy for book research.
I have been fascinated with this movie as of late.
haha great you noticed it.
In the beginning is another one. where corso flips through the book and hears the paper. He then stands in front of a huge window in new york (It might be a standing image though)
+Hawaiian Prestige Cars Glad you enjoyed it. I think I am now actively noticing asmr in films now. Tarantino would have to be the master of it.
@Bekah Cassidy the way corso listens to the books pages fall is so satisfying lol
I love forgetting about this film, just so I can rediscover it again.
*PRECISELY!!!!!!! Thank you Bekah.* 👍👍👍
I love how the brothers finish each other’s sentences and are on the same mental wavelength 😂😂😂
It would get annoying after a while haha
Love this film.
Be careful, that old man on the left has a pistola hidden in his muustache.
The Ninth Gate, a weird film with an obscure story. But there are at least 5 Asmr moments throughout the film.
When this came out on VHS I would keep rewinding the research scene in the library until I eventually fell asleep. Fantastic movie
We are so spoiled now with technology
“Even Hell has its hero, Señor”
you are one satanic viewer
*Heroes...................señor.*
Just hearing Polanski talking is ASMR. Listen to any of his interviews or the first half of the tenant. His voice has a soothing timbre. (I know that sounds super wrong, but it's true)
No I get it. Tenant has incredible ASMR. Matter of fact I’m going to watch it tonight. It’s been a while. I love the scene when he goes to that dinner party and gets the book of that guy. I also love falling asleep to Chinatown.
@@TheRubberStudiosASMR that song "Dance At Robert's" that plays in the background is beautiful too. Philippe Sarde is an impeccable composer.
@@TheRubberStudiosASMR I think the asmr might actually be intentional btw. Polanski often talks about creating a "venus flytrap effect" and lulling the audience into relaxation before abruptly making them jump with intense action.
I can remember listening to this on a loop, falling asleep and waking up about 3 hours later
So awesome in its power
This scene makes me think of the Dead Sea Scrolls and one of the stories about them is that the team of men who worked on translating them in the early days smoked while they worked and didn't think anything about it.
One of my favourite films.
Mine too
So johnny depp is lucifer and he goes through Ishtar gate in the end to get to Arizara the secret place
The actor, Jose Lopez Rodero, playing the twins, (P & P Ceniza Brothers), as well as the two workmen towards the end of the movie when Johnny Depp revisits the twin's shop again in Toledo, Spain IS SO GOOD THAT I Catch myself speaking of them AS IF there are actually more than one person...Jose Lopez Rodero Excels in ALL the four parts; HE, is also The 'Production Manager' in the SPANISH CREW as shown about two minutes before the ending of the Movie Credits.
The deep baritone of the brother's voices (especially the one on the left) causes the feeling of relaxation which you call ASMR. What the sound of their voice is, is a tiny bit of the AUM sound, at the correct pitch, which Tibetan and other monks access to enter what I call "underwater". It is an entering into another dimension. One can feel it instantly (if one hears the AUM at the right pitch) and the feeling goes all through one's spine (through the chakras). One's perception is also altered, and one sees that the Earth, the trees, the animals (if any are around) are all in this dimension permanently, and are all worshipping God while in this state. That's what I consider it to be, anyway-worshipping God. The creation didn't fall, you know.
This state is unnoticed by humans because we aren't exposed to the AUM much, and have no idea there is another dimension of which we aren't aware, accessed by means of a sound which I consider to be something like God's voice. I didn't enter this state alone-a friend facilitated it by making the AUM sound and when he hit the right pitch, we automatically entered "underwater". He knew about this sort of thing. The "underwater" feeling is more intense than the ASMR feeling, the ASMR feeling being a small hint of the AUM experience.
Some months after this occurrence, I was visiting a zoo and for some reason decided to worship God as nature does. I "centered" myself (lined myself up) on a huge Redwood stump (this was in California) and let my arms and hands go down to my side, in a relaxed position, with the palms open. And I looked up. A huge animal-I think it was an elk- standing inside the fence apparently knew what I was doing, because he or she raised his/her head straight up, making a "one" with his/her neck, and looked up with me. We all, the stump, the elk, and I worshipped God together. Any Tibetan monk would know exactly what I'm talking about, although they may know it by a different name.
Karen, Bartlett , I know you wrote this a year ago BUT, you do realize, (I'm guessing), that "the one on the left" IS ALSO, the one on the right?
Always a pleasure to see Johnny Depp
They missed Him with The Scaffolding
Best element of this film for me is the sound, be it musical score, sound editing, sound mixing. Increasingly lost arts these days with modern filmmaking.
Theory that these 2 are acatually ghosts - they were dead and the same actor played the moving men at the end of the movie closing this book shop
I really do need to watch this whole film again 😊
@@TheRubberStudiosASMR*I've seen it at least a hundred xs' since it came out in the theatre 🎥, and am STILL quite unsure of its' authenticity !*
What is ASMR? Great movie. Great scene. Thanks.
ASMR is getting a relaxing feeling from watching the video. For me, it is the sounds and actions of the brothers
*ASMR = Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response*
*I can find it the most in **_mystery films_** .......in **_most_** videos here on YT,at night usually with my window open,thanks to nature........and even at a handful of places that are very unique when I venture out on 1 of my bikes or in my car usually.*
Apparently ASMR now stands for all foley work
I just can't get over the smoking indoors and the audacity he had to just light one up, without asking. Then you got two ppl smoking indoors and near books! That's the 90's for you, noone really gave a fuck. I remember those days.
I wish it was like that again lol
Speechless just gets me every time.✌️
we're so starved of genuine relaxation in these digital, harsh times that we even search for the smallest occurrences. ironically, we do this while spending our time in one of the digital pits that _put_ us in this state. surely "ASMR" would be more satisfying out in the real world, no?
no? okay. what do i know?
Well maybe you’re right but I find I rarely ever experience it in the real world anymore. Maybe when I get haircut. That’s about it- everyone is too addicted to their phones!
*There would have to be VERY LITTLE around.* 😌 😌 😌
Subscribe for more of this kind of lunacy.
Love the detail that one of the Ceniza drops ashes on the book when he sees it. Ceniza in Spanish means "ash".
What a great movie!
2:16 when he talks about Venetian craftsmanship and the "pages resistant to the passage of time," what does he mean when he says "none of your modern ' boot pulp' " or "boot bug" (subtitles) ?? what does it indicate about the book itself?
okay I noticed he says the "finest rock paper," paper actually made from stone, instead of tree pulp.
Hahaha I originally thought he said “not even your mother would part” but i think it’s “book pulp”. He’s slandering the quality of modern books
He says "none of your modern wood pulp" Wood pulp is nowadays widely used in making paper. It is very cheap, but most of low quality and doesn't hold on its own for a long time.
“Even Hell has its heroes” 😮😮😮
Ceniza brothers always remind me of prof. Abronsius from Vampire Killers. There are many references from other Polanski's films.
Every time someone closes that book. 👂💆
why unintentional? some directors know what they are doing
First mention of Lucifer, suddenly you hear a fly buzzing... great Detail, Lucifer was also named the "Lord of the flies"
I recently noticed that .too
I've been rewatching this movie quite a bit lately. These dialogue scenes are fantastic but the scaffold crashing and the automobiles and motorcycle chases are so loud in contrast I wonder if it was intentional or not. I find myself having to change the volume frequently while watching this particular film.
Fantastic film. N.F.T. love and respect. Yours truly. Sonja Ingrid.Xxxxxx ❤❤❤❤
I fall asleep to this all the time... the only jarring bit is the collapsing scaffolding. You learn to mute it at the right time after a while. though.
Sorry lol, do you want me to remove it? I'll see if I can.
@@TheRubberStudiosASMR I mean the movie itself... hehe.
3:26 First time I watched this movie (on streaming) so with headphones on, I thought a mosquito was taking the piss out of me, so i fucking swang my arms in all direction and it took me like 10 seconds to realise there was no mosquito in the room with me, just in the movie lmao, will always remember this weird but funny moment.
Me too!!!
Would the French film La Cercle Rouge (1970) be considered an ASMR film? I just now looked up what ASMR is and that's the first film I thought of. It seems I like these types movies. I get so much comfort in watching older quieter films.
I’ll have to check it out. I guess you could say anything is ASMR if it gives you the tingles.
@@TheRubberStudiosASMR I'm not sure I get tingles but I do get comfy
That book doesn't like a book of the 17 century, books of 17 century has almost no margins , paper was to expensive, besides is in to good state of conservation. It's a book of the end of xix century or of the beggining of the xx century.
I totally agree... this is not a book of 17 century at all...
I'm a rare book dealer. You're wrong they did have margins often excessively. I have books dating from 16th century that are in excellent condition. I have another from 17th century almost identical to this in binding style and condition.
Thinkkkk
This film cannot help thinking that they speak in parable or doublespeak think 1984 Orwell film also V for Vendetta . I've been doing that lately. I hear another message than what's being delivered since nothing is what it seems
Rubber studios, rubber gub, ✌️
asmr is in the book binding_? the brothers had copyed the book before. Just not the page that was torne out, the burning tower.
ASMR is in the whole video
@@TheRubberStudiosASMR The burning tower is the orgasm the twins where hiding.
more intentional than you think. ;)
None of yer modern wood puwlp
Hahaha I don’t have any idea what he says.
“not even your motha would part”
@@TheRubberStudiosASMR "Finest rag paper, resistant to the passage of time! None of your modern wood pulp!"
Ohhhhhh Ren!
I know... great line spoken with special disdain for wood pulp paper.
Awesome.....
Rile me up sumthin wild
One of the twins is dubbed over by Roman Polanski
I can believe that
ASMR are all over this film if you look closely you'll see
You will never find ASMR in any Samuel L. Jackson scene 😂😂😂
Haha you’re right
Although, some of his speeches in Tarantino films send me into a trance
Wered you get your script?
Huh?
No way he would be smoking in a rare book shop
Albino
3:31
...AKA The Forgery Bros.... look how many times they Deny its a Forgery......lolz
lucifer won , señorito
Seperate a lamb from his family? For victory? Hmmm weres puffy now
Scrambling and scraping for shit
Brrreatthhhee
Not even mutter would part
My apologies, what's asmr?
Autonomous sensory meridian response, or seeing or hearing something that gives you a relaxing sensation.
The twin ceniza brothers represent the twin towers, ceniza is a espanish word the means ash , they also mentioned that there's a denger from above in the drawing, that's why in the next scene when depp leave that place there's a scaffolding falling down, representing 911
Hahahaha!
@TheRubberStudiosASMR what? You don't see it?
日本語吹き替えはないのですか？

Calm down
@@TheRubberStudiosASMR how?
@@societywolf
Start by getting on to your colleagues over at the sound mixing department who these days don't know how to mix sounds properly anymore. Perhaps use this movie from the 90s as an example of how it should be done.
@@greatdelusion7654 I’ll get right on that! Shouting at my colleagues in the inferior sound mixing department right now. Hopefully they won’t just level me out 🧚♂️

Good film with a shit ending.
Yeah I’ve only got through it once
