Keven is a goddess, his talent lies in defending... and picking people, at least as accurate as jury picking. But he didn't recognize Milton as the incarnation of the Saten devil. Milton took him step by step to the abyss of evil. Since Keven entered New York, he has shown him everything money can bring-luxury houses in prime locations, enviable status, unparalleled sense of dignity, and A charming woman with French eyes. But the pressure is like a shadow. If he wants to maintain an unbeaten record and make himself famous, he needs to endure the increasing pressure. All the people who appeared in his life seemed to be smiling, but after they turned around, their faces were full of weirdness, showing the look when they saw their prey dying and struggling.
This prey won money and glory, but lost his wife. The poor woman languished day by day, even when she was in ML, she could feel that her husband's heart was not on her. She finally picked up the fragment of the mirror in the room of the mental hospital, and killed her husband who took a chair outside the door and slammed the door hard. The phrase "I love you" seems to be a bayonet with a sharp blade, slashing at all those who are hiding in their vanity.
The final duel was a bit messy and slightly lengthy. The director may want to express all his thoughts here. The three people walked around, talked and talked, and finally revealed the truth-oh, it turns out that Milton is Satan, Keven is his son, and the stunner is his daughter, and the son and It was his long-cherished wish for his daughter to have a child after she got engaged.
Putting aside the sense of nonsense, I think it's really not easy for director Hackford. Like Zhang Kaige, he has infinite compassion for mankind and a desire to challenge the world. Since then, the movie has become their arena. They have the same humanistic feelings. The difference is that Zhang is more literary and petty, and Hackford wants to appear rational and supreme.
Saten grabbed his hair and stared in the fire, he was angry, he was frightened, he yelled "No", but yes, he was burned. Keven murmured "free will" and shot himself. The beauty turned into a dead tree. The flame burned bigger and bigger, and burned smaller and smaller, and finally extinguished in Keven's eyes-it turned out to be just a dream, everything is His fantasy began in the bathroom and ended in the bathroom. In the court outside, he gave up defending the perverted pig man who molested children, and took his wife away with a smile. Ah, the ending Thomas is harmonious and friendly, Thomas is happy and cheerful.
As a result, the grimacing reporter rushed over, saying "I can make you a national celebrity" and Keven agreed to reveal the inside story to him. Keven left, with a happy or helpless smile on his face. The reporter stayed behind and turned into Saten's face. He also smiled and said his famous words.
"Vanity, It's my favourite sin"...
everything is over. The final irony adds a little bit.
Well, although I initially regarded it as a serious legal film and tried to baptize myself with this, it is indeed a fantasy film. Especially when I saw the twisted white wall man and the dancing flames, I felt that this was "Across the Universe".
BTW, the top-heavy nature of the film has led to my current top-heavy. How about, or watch a film that makes me feel ashamed and look up at the sky 45 degrees in the protagonist at present, asking God to forgive my sins and give mankind a happy life?
...I still pray to Saten.
