It turned out to be very serious

I always thought "The Devil's Advocate" was a horror and fantasy film, but when I looked at the beginning reluctantly, I discovered that it was a serious drama that explored law + religion + human nature, etc. The key words of religious films are often nothing more than human nature, original sin, freedom, salvation, etc. However, "The Devil's Advocate" uses a religious shell to combat the evils of human nature, and at the same time dissolves the contradiction between law, morality, and justice.

The narrative time is 144 minutes, the real story time is actually up to 10 minutes, beware of spoilers, stop first~~ The film length is not short, but it seems to be done in one go. Before the truth is solved, the suspense and strange atmosphere is very heavy. Slowly watching, the heroine was suppressed and crazy, and I was almost suffocated and crazy. At the end of the play, the moment the light emerged, the peaks turned, and then the darkness turned again. At the beginning of darkness, Al Pacino appeared again and said to all the audience, "Vanity, definitely my favourite sin." So, the real story seemed to have just begun. . If the sequel of "The Devil's Advocate" is released, it is

probably time to start the press. Well, it's interesting~ In fact, I am more resistant to films involving religious themes. It always gives people a sense of depression, probably because I am an atheist? Religious paintings, music, and Bible verses continue to appear in the film, and the tone and composition have a little Gothic flavor. Religious art is really awe-inspiring.

Watching such films must resist the pessimism of disappointment in human society after watching them, because they really take out the dark side of human nature and ruthlessly shake it up. It is very real and very enjoyable. People can't help but start with self-reflection. So I sighed for fame and fortune, to avoid the seven deadly sins, to avoid greed, anger, and ignorance. But it didn't take long to get back to the original state, what kind of thing it was or what it was. Original sin is a sin that human beings are born with and cannot get rid of.

ps Al Pacino's eyes are really amazing, and he is always playing with bones. Keanu Reeves is handsome, but he is not handsome enough, and he feels like Wang Leehom.

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.
