[Q]: Build a movie plot around this: Who is the assistant librarian? Brother Berengar
****
[A]: The movie opens with the arrival of Franciscan monk William of Baskerville (Sean Connery) and his novice assistant, Adso of Melk (Christian Slater) at a Benedictine Abbey in Northern Italy in 1327. They are there to attend an important conference.The abbey is in fear, however, over the recent death of one of their young monks, a brilliant illustrator. He was found killed by an impact at the base of a cliff outside the abbey, but there was no access to the roof or through a sealed window from which he could have fallen. Many of the monks fear that there can be only an evil, supernatural explanation.The Abbot (Michael Lonsdale) asks William to help solve the mystery as he is known to be a man of great intellect and a former investigator for the inquisition. William examines the evidence and comes to the conclusion the monk fell from a tower in a different section of the abbey and body rolled downhill to where it was found. He also believes it was suicide as there was no other reason for the monk to be in the tower that time of night and a murderer would not have bothered to carry the body up the stairs to get rid of it.With the Abbot assuaged the conference begins, but immediately another death takes place. A Greek translator (Urs Althaus) is found upside down and head first in a huge pot. When the body is cleaned William finds that the man has blackened fingers on his right hand and a blackened tongue.William and Adso try and examine the desks of the two dead men, but are blocked from seeing the translator's desk by the assistant librarian (Michael Habeck). Later that night, after the monks are done with their work, the two return to see what the assistant librarian was hiding. The assistant librarian is still there, however, chuckling over a book. Upon hearing their approach he takes the book and hides. On the translator's desk William finds a cryptic note that is partly written in invisible ink. It seems to give directions to a secret location in the adjacent library.The assistant librarian tosses a tool...

[Q]: Build a movie plot around this: Who are the protagonists? Emma and Dr. Seija Shimada
****
[A]: I just don't understand why this movie was ever made...Maybe theproducer was itching to let some (a few million) dollars slip out of hisfingers, just like that. Apart from the title of the movie, there isnothing else that is worthy of attention...This movie was Dead Dull from beginning to end, and bear with me as I unfold its mysteries (as if there were any!!!)(AGAIN, SPOILERS AHEAD, SO SAVE YOURSELF SOME TIME AND CONSIDER THE ABOVEMESSAGE AS A WARNING AND CARRY ON WITH YOUR BUSINESS!!!) ........................................................................................ ..................................................................................................................................................................So you decided to read anyway. Never mind, let's begin: It all startswhen two scientists accidentally discover a mega shark and giantoctopus buried in ice under the sea. Now the ice obviously breaks due to awhale collapsing incident, which our doctors were right on time towitness by the way, on an experimental submarine which they had stolenfor exploration (probably written in script to give the BADASS side tothe otherwise nerdy protagonist, i.e, Deborah Gibson, the woman playingEmma).Anyway, soon after these prehistoric creatures are at loose once again,they start hunting for food and bizarre incidents start happening allaround the globe like tearing up of an oil rig by our friend octopusand disappearance of an airplane flying at 15,000 feet at around200 nautical miles per hour, courtesy Mega Shark (Come on now, enough isenough!! I could digest the oil rig bit, but this is too much! Theshark actually jumps I don't know 15,000 feet in the air, grabs the planeby its wings and plummits it down under the ocean, Jesus!)Anyhoo, soon the story turns to our protagonists Emma, her retired or I don't know retarded professor and her would-be lover Dr. Seiji Shimada for a solution to this menace...So after a lot of of shots devoted towhat can only be described as a high...
