"I'm Virgil, counselor, and I'm guiding you through the gates of hell! We are now in the 9th circle, the circle of traitors. Traitors to country, traitors to fellow man, traitors to God! You, sir, are charged with betraying the principles of all three! Can you please quote for me the American Bar Association's Rules of Professional Conduct, Canon seven?"

"A lawyer should represent his client…"

"Should zealously represent his client within the bounds of law! And I find you guilty, counselor, guilty of betraying your fellow man, guilty of betraying your country, guilty of abrogating your oath, guilty of judging me and selling me out! And with the power vested in me by the kingdom of God, I sentence you to the 9th circle of hell! Now you'll learn about loss, loss of freedom, loss of humanity, Now, you and I will truly be the same, counselor! "

    It's good to watch the film from the perspective of a family crisis; the plot arrangement gives the audience the opportunity to make moral choices; this old horse's work is crazy and cool enough

    Isn’t this lawyer the United States? No wonder that his name is Sam. He thinks he can punish others on behalf of the law, and he gets fucked. Martin’s film is mocking the US government and telling the White House not to be a world policeman. Even if those countries are villains, they can retaliate against you. It's not completely unreasonable.

Cape Fear quotes

  • [repeated phrase]

    Max Cady: Counselor.

  • Max Cady: I ain't no white trash piece of shit. I'm better than you all! I can out-learn you. I can out-read you. I can out-think you. And I can out-philosophize you. And I'm gonna outlast you. You think a couple whacks to my guts is gonna get me down? It's gonna take a hell of a lot more than that, Counselor, to prove you're better than me!
