Good movie that subverts religion

It turned out that I saw this film at a friend's house. I didn't understand it at first, but it was only after his explanation that I could see the clue. At that time, I just admired the director's extraordinary talent and excluded such nb films. Later, I learned the song "time is on my side" sung by the Rolling Stones there.
I took it out and looked at it again today, and I was very impressed. Just imagine how many people can make time on his side? It is always the few who can discover the truth, and we are often deceived by all kinds of falsehoods. How many people have the power to discover the truth and the courage to face it like Denzel Washington?
No matter how desperate the ending is, I guess the director's intention is to tell us that the truth will never be easily discovered, and this is the environment we live in.

    Entropy increases. Clip version. The foreshadowing of the cat is well done, the previous script is really more interesting than the current one. This ending is open BE, which is interesting, justice has not defeated evil. Whenever I see similar settings or points, I think of Teacher Yeats' A to Z, big pit, resentment

Fallen quotes

  • John Hobbes: [as Jonesy and Stanton pull up to the cabin] I know you're here.

    [Speaks in ancient Arabic]

    John Hobbes: Haven't you had enough? You made me kill an innocent man, you...

    [begins to cry]

    John Hobbes: murdered by brother, come on out you son of a bitch! How much fun can you have, huh?

    Lt. Stanton: [Comes out] What? Who are you talking to? I didn't do any of that. I'm just one of the guys sent up here to bring you in. Now, drop the gun, I know you have one.

    [Draws his own gun]

    Lt. Stanton: You're making me do this, drop the goddamn gun.

    Jonesy: [Comes out] Do what he says, Hobbes.

    John Hobbes: He's here too?

    [shouts]

    John Hobbes: Lou, Tiff, come on out!

    Lt. Stanton: It's just us.

    John Hobbes: [to Jonesy] Jonesy, you know I didn't do any of this.

    Lt. Stanton: We both like to believe you, Hobbes. But we gotta bring you in.

    Jonesy: Stanton, I'm not sure I can do this.

    Lt. Stanton: What the fuck are you talkin' about?

    Jonesy: If we get rid of him, we drive his car into the lake, end of story. Why are we up here?

    Lt. Stanton: We bring the son of a bitch in, that's why we're up here.If he did it, fine. If he didn't do it, even better. But it's not our job to decide, now drop the goddamn gun.

    Jonesy: Put the goddamn gun down.

    [Hobbes drops his gun]

    Lt. Stanton: [sighs in relief] See, you think of what is gonna happen, then life brings you one more surprise.

    Jonesy: Yeah.

    [Shoots Stanton in the head and reveals that Jonesy is possessed by Azazel]

    Jonesy: Sometimes, it's a big one.

  • Azazel: [Last lines] Like I said before. I was beaten. I was battered,tired and neaten by a detective John Hobbes. It's disturbing that you were alive for a thousand years and you realize that you're actually going to die, because some self-righteous cop thinks hes gonna save the fuckin' world. Yes, a demon can die, and Hobbes finally knew how to beat me at my own game. Oh, I forgot. I was gonna tell you the time I "almost" died, seeya 'round.
