There are always demons in the world

Recommended good movies that are worth at least two brushes. The first time you watch the story, the second time, the choice, change and "change" of the hero is destined. From the perspective of Christianity, the free will of mankind, whether to become an angel or a devil, is always in your own hands. From the perspective of Buddhism, I have also seen the law of cause and effect, good karma and bad karma. In the end, the male protagonist seemed to have made a new choice, but the inner vanity (cause) remained unchanged, and he still could not escape the temptation. The ending was the same (effect). The real Satan also said at the time: "Vanity is my favorite original sin!" Buddhism says to "protect mindfulness" is to carefully maintain your inner peace and conscience and not be easily tempted by Satan. After reading some film reviews, by the way, I would like to mention two details that you might have overlooked. The first time the male protagonist had the opportunity to work in a big city, but had not made a final decision, so he asked his wife’s opinion and said, “If you don’t want me to do this job, I won’t accept it. (To the effect)” Second Secondly, he chose "justice" to withdraw from the trial, not defending the teacher in the indecency case. When a "reporter" wanted to use this to publicize his heroic deeds, he was ready to leave at first. But both times, his wife played an absolute impetus for him in the end, Say Yes. I don't think it was his wife who changed his thoughts, but the voices of important people around him superimposed his own thoughts, and the balance of angels and demons may be tilted. Free Will is one of the most important rights of mankind. Because of it, we can decide to cast ourselves to God or the devil, decide whether to do the right thing or the wrong thing, and finally decide what kind of person we are going to be. Because, it's not just behavior! The moment you start your mind, the gears of cause and effect begin to turn!

The Devil's Advocate quotes

  • John Milton: Now with this? Now that you're down? I'd get ready for one of those, Class-A, New York-style pigfucks.

  • John Milton: Eddie Barzoon, Eddie Barzoon. Hah! Oh, I nursed him through two divorces, a cocaine rehab, and a pregnant receptionist. Heh. God's creature, right? God's special creature? Hah! And I've warned him Kevin, I've warned him every step of the way. Watching him bounce around like a fucking game, like a windup toy! Like 250 pounds of self serving greed on wheels. The next thousand years is right around the corner, Kevin, and Eddie Barzoon-take a good look, because he's the poster child for the next millennium! These people, it's no mystery where they come from. You sharpen the human appetite to the point where it can split atoms with its desire, you build egos the size of cathedrals, fiber-optically connect the world to every eager impulse, grease even the dullest dreams with these dollar-green, gold plated fantasies until every human becomes an aspiring emperor, becomes his own god, and where can you go from there? And as we're scrambling from one deal to the next, who's got his eye on the planet? As the air thickens, the water sours, and even the bees honey takes on the metallic taste of radioactivity. And it just keeps coming, faster and faster. There's no chance to think, to prepare. It's buy futures, sell futures, when there is no future! We got a runaway train boy, we got a billion Eddie Barzoons all jogging into the future. Every one of 'em getting ready to fist-fuck god's ex-planet, lick their fingers clean as they reach out toward their pristine, cybernetic keyboards to total up their billable hours. And then it hits home! You gotta pay your own way, Eddie. It's a little late in the game to buy out now! Your belly's too full, your dick is sore, your eyes are bloodshot, and you're screaming for someone to help! But guess what? There's no one there! You're all alone, Eddie. You're god's special little creature. Maybe it's true, maybe god threw the dice once too often. Maybe he let us all down.
