White-collar fairy tales

The slogan on the film poster is "The newest attorney at the world's most powerful law firm has never lost a case", which seems to be a realistic film. The result was disappointing, and many plots were arranged very badly: the wife of a lawyer, a very material woman, was so empty that she went crazy in New York. His Satan father changed and changed like Monkey King. His mother has an image of an ascetic monk, and she often warns him with words in the Bible. His colleagues, one by one, hidden the face of the devil under their gorgeous appearance. The rich man who killed three people and asked a lawyer to excuse him, I could tell at a glance that he and his adopted daughter had an affair (otherwise who After killing his own wife and children, she will never forget her adopted daughter, and will see her anyway). The story is mysterious and mysterious. All of the above are in line with the definition of "fairy tale".
Here, let me talk about it: I think of finding an old book of "Andersen's Fairy Tales" in the corner of the library when I was young. When I opened it, many of the stories in it were creepy. Later, when I grew up, I learned that those collections of stories that were translated into "fairy tales" for Chinese people, such as "Andersen's Fairy Tales" and "Green's Fairy Tales", are full of stories that are not suitable for children, such as incest, father killing, and cannibalism. La. Why is it translated into a "fairy tale"? Do foreigners use this kind of story to scare children and warn them to abide by social order? These are actually fables.
Imagine if it was a child, after telling the story, the teacher would ask: "Classmates, what does this story tell us?"
We replied loudly: "The film "Devil's Spokesperson" tells us that angels belong to God. Servant, but there is a kind of angel called the devil. Both work for God. God is the boss. The employees below will occasionally complain, ridicule the boss, or play a little sideball within the scope of their own rights. In fact, the boss knows that he does big things. Like cooking Xiaoxian, the boss knows how to control the heat, and he has the final say at the critical moment." Haha, just make a joke.
In fact, Pacino and Reeves are very father and son, both of them have long shoehorn faces. Their performance is still very hard. In the end, El Pacino's speech ridiculing God is still very performing skills, which can be regarded as a highlight of the film. As for Keno Reeves, he is actually a very good actor, beautiful in appearance and good acting skills. But there is a lack of powerful masterpieces. Warm sketches such as "Lakeside Cottage", "November in Love", and "Walking in the Clouds" are very heartwarming, but unfortunately they are not very colorful. Action movies such as "Hell Detective" and "Life and Death" are just instant noodles, which relieves the hunger, and the taste is really not flattering. And I still don't like the "Matrix" series. Although he is very cool in it, he actually made a wedding dress for the screenwriter. The screenwriter's story concept is full of philosophical spirit and will be left in history forever.
I will always watch El Pacino's performances. For Keno Reeves, I still look forward to his representative work, raising his acting career to a higher level.

    Keanu Reeves is really a standard handsome guy... But, I prefer Al Pacino... Both "The Godfather" and "Scent of a Woman" are classics~ This film is not given five stars because of tiredness After a day, I closed my eyes for a while when I watched it at night, and I was sleepy... However, I still waited until the end, I like it~

    This is called acting, Pacino watched and kneeled. Deformed faces, empty streets. After the ghost of the lost world of mankind, the goddess cut his throat and committed suicide. She saw that the world had turned away from God.

The Devil's Advocate quotes

  • Kevin Lomax: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I know you've spent all morning listening to Mr. Broygo talk; I know you're hungry; what I need to tell you won't take very long at all. I don't like Alexander Cullen. I don't think he's a nice person. I don't expect you to like him. He's been a terrible husband to all three of his wives; he's been a destructive force in the lives of his stepchildren; he's cheated the city, his partners, his employees. He's paid hundreds of thousands of dollas in penalties and fines over the years. I don't like him. I'm going to tell you some things during the course of this trial that are going to make you like him even less. But this isn't a popularity contest; it's a murder trial.

  • John Milton: And as we're straddling 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.
