I think that scene with Balkan still fits with what I was saying, though. If I remember correctly, Balkan is the one who tries to open the Ninth Gate using the incorrect last picture, and burns for it. I don't remember exactly how it happens, but I think that is when the castle catches on fire, which is what The Girl wants to happen so that she can enact the ninth Real pictue with Corso. So she needs it to happen as it does, which is why she stops him from killing Balkan.
Anyway, very cool movie. I'm glad someone else likes it. Most of my friends either hated it or did not want to give it a second thought.
