Unit # 7 Activity Nº 2 (Opinion)

"The name of the rose"




Summary


"The Name of the Rose" is a gothic medieval mystery thriller set in a 14th-century Italian monastery. Franciscan monk William of Baskerville (Sean Connery) and a young novice (Christian Slater) arrive for a conference to find that several monks have been murdered in mysterious circumstances. To solve the crimes, William must rise up against the Church authority and fight the shadowy conspiracy of monastery monks using only his wit and intelligence.

 

Opinion

The film shows us an interesting story about how people lived in the Middle Ages in actions that were quite hard, so we are a key idea of issues of importance that we move to that time, the film shows us pretty tough situations with to live a group of monks which were sometimes extreme, that made the movie somewhat grotesque aggression was seen.


Perhaps the film could have been more interesting if there were many murders and I think that to make a good thriller you just need a good script, but other aspects of the film which I found very interesting the way of rational thinking evidence from one of the characters and the obstacles to thought they were given to other characters and that somehow not tolerate anyone to say differently, which gives us an idea of ​​how people lived in the age media.
