There was one shot that impressed him. He was terrified to see a maggot crawling out of the eyelid of the self-portrait, but the pact with the devil made him feel that the original guilt disappeared. His expression changed from fear to calm, and he went up to smash the maggots. When I was watching the movie, I was thinking that if I had that painting, I would live more dashingly than Dorian Gray, and I was fortunate that I didn't have this painting, otherwise I would have become the devil's spokesperson.
But this painting exists in real life. This
makes me think this is a religious film. That painting can be compared to pantheism and idolatry. Many underworld movies reflect that the gangsters have done all kinds of bad things, but they go to the Buddha and give more incense money than anyone else, and they look the most pious. (Chinese) went to the Catholic church in black and paid a lot of money to ask the priest to do mass for him and wash his sins. (Foreign) Including corrupt officials in real society who exchange and then go out to do bad things boldly. In exchange for what people think are honorable (money, Viagra, mistresses), he confesses his guilt in front of the self-righteous "self-portrait". . .
Is this the acquisition of the fictional painting in a different form?
"What man honors is an abomination in the sight of God" (Luke 16:15).
