"The Devil's Advocate"
instead of treating all this as a test, a test, it is better to say that this is a gamble between Satan and God.
Satan sneered and told God that survival itself is the process of creating evil, whether you cultivate your heart or cleanse your sins, it is just an inducement to deceive the world-I am evil to be fair and honest, and you are evil to hide hypocrisy-Satan said.
God shook his head-why?
——What was the original sin? Who held that apple high on the branch?
-Because of your temptation, they can't resist their desires, commit unforgivable crimes, and stay away from the Garden of Eden, away from my embrace.
——So, who gave human desires?
...God is speechless.
So there is a bet between Satan and God, and the bet is the whole world. So our story begins... The
director is clever. Through the film, he showed the incompatible and symbiotic cycle of God, Satan, heaven, and hell in Western Christianity. The core of this cycle is only human nature and The result is a projection, like Ashura City and Good View City—the existence of sin is due to the existence of human nature, and the existence of God is due to the confrontation of Satan.
A magical pen, the cunning and madly fox director let Al Pacino, an older and more charming old man, play Satan. This image is like a poppy-like horror. Everyone is destined to fall in his beauty and be fascinated by him. The temptation of his is destroyed by his essence. We know that what the poppy-like beautiful Satan brings us is the great satisfaction of our desires. We relentlessly plunged into the fantasy world created by him with a wave of hands. The world feels like Al "Pacino and Keanu" Levi’s climbed to the top of the building and looked down at the entire New York City. Although there was a little bit of anxiety from the heights, the inexplicable sense of satisfaction made us take that little bit. The feeling of cold is regarded as the air-conditioning blowing from the air conditioner in summer.
——Desire and choice
Kevin follows the most essential essence of human nature—desire has come to hell, and this hell is like heaven. Satan gave him a choice, and Kevin chose the myth, the myth of "undefeated". On this road, he only needs to enjoy it. Career, glory, spoiled wife, family. Satan cast a bargaining chip that seems to be winning. No one, no one in the world can face the satisfaction of one's handy desires and follow the ancient Seven Commandments of Moses.
Mastering the desires of mankind is equivalent to mastering mankind, and Satan believes in this.
Kevin Lomax stepped into the trap set by John Milton. His beautiful wife Mary Ann was raped by John Milton. In the hospital, John Milton said: "I am the real humanitarian, because I meet all the needs of people. The twentieth century is my century!" Satan once again confused Kevin with his theory of the devil. He didn't know what he and Mary needed. He didn't know that this world that brought him to the whole world existed like a father. Is this sentence spoken by people the truth or is it just a joke or a gimmick. But when Mary's blood sprayed shockingly, he knew that the joke was not funny at all. He regretted his choice for the first time, but all this was unchangeable.
What about God, what is God's bargaining chip?
When he saw that Kevin turned out to be Satan's son, God should have surrendered. Satan had a smile on the corner of his lips, and he whispered: "Child, my child". Everyone knows that Al Pacino’s smile can overwhelm the world, whether he is a devil or not. God
stares faintly and casts the bargaining chip in his hand. Kevin sees the bargaining chip—choice, God and Satan cast the same bargaining chip, Kevin already knew that Satan’s chips had desires engraved on the back. He didn’t yet know what God’s chips had engraved on. But he could clearly hear the devil's whisper: "Child, my child".
In Christianity, people are divided into two kinds. It can also be said that the world can be divided into children of two kingdoms, one is a child of the kingdom of heaven, and the other is a child of the power of darkness. Kevin doesn't know which one he belongs to, but God and Satan gave him a choice at the same time. He must make the last choice, either step into the darkness and become the son of Satan, or give up his life.
God smile!
Turning over the bargaining chip thrown by God, "Free Will" is engraved on the back.
Satan said in the final dialogue with Kevin: "Free will is a trouble"
-From
one perspective, all evil in the world comes from free will. "Free will" is the biggest temptation. Everyone is eager to be able to Do things according to free will and get everything that free will wants, power, wealth, feelings, status, etc.
Satan said "free will is a trouble", that is because through Kevin's eyes, Satan saw God!
Free will is a double-edged sword. Satan wields it to control the world. Of course God can.
From God's point of view, free will is relative rather than absolute. Freedom is only freedom within a certain range—a bit of Marxist philosophy—anything has a limit, and that limit is morality, conscience, and love.
Since you have free will to do certain things, you also have free will to control yourself not to do certain things. It's that simple and straightforward. The former is the devil, the latter is God.
However, in the eyes of Satan, God is hypocritical-he sets the rules, and then sits on the sidelines, and when others sin, he stands up to criticize and laugh-if not, why did he create a tempting apple? ? He hid in the dark, seduced Adam and Eve into committing crimes, then accused Satan and expelled his children. Perhaps the insoluble hatred between Satan and God begins here.
In the bathroom, Kevin's free will made him make a choice, but at that time, there was still a trace of anxiety in his heart, even avoiding the eyes of the female student. At that time, his free will still knew "what to do". When he experienced the pleasure of watching the entire New York City under the leadership of John, his "free will" was left unchecked and misunderstood until he was full of eyes. It's all the blood of his wife.
Maybe he wiped out his conscience, maybe he wiped out his morality, but there is always a belief in his will, that is the feelings for his wife, we call it "love". When the blood of his wife spilled on the chips, Kevin saw through the surface of the chips the "love" hidden under the "free will"-the will to choose love is also free!
We all know that Kevin's distorted smile was followed by a gunshot, and then John Milton's more distorted smile. The damn thing is, this highly distorted smile before it can converge still makes us feel charming-he really is a devil! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Thank God, he won the bet with only one bargaining chip.
