Is it free will or rational choice?

In fact, strictly speaking, the origin of free will for human beings is the response of life to the environment in which it lives. The needs of life itself for reproduction (replicating itself) and survival, as well as the natural selection, have created various behaviors of humans and many animals. Under the trend of the dopamine mechanism, various behaviors have quantifiable stimulation to the brain. As human beings have the ability to actively choose rationality, the process of their choice is the castration of this natural instinct. From this perspective, Satan is actually our original sin. All of this, for eating, for mating, for material things, and so on, there's no escape from us, because that's our nature as creatures. But fortunately, we have brains, and evolutionary sifting allows us to think against all our animality. And it is our castration of our own animality that has created today's complex social machines. It is safe to say that wisdom is the ultimate answer, not free will.

    People who consider themselves firm, can watch this film and then ask themselves whether they can withstand such a temptation.

    New York—From the capital of sin in "Taxi Driver" to the land of desire in this film, it has undertaken the decadent degeneration of an era. The devil covets the weakness of self-will, like an abyss that constantly consumes the light of civilization and morality, or becomes the sacrifice of the devil, or the slave of desire. Even though the millennium has arrived, human beings still cannot rely on the cage of material and desire. The shot of Keanu Reeves is like the choice between the red and blue pills in The Matrix. Humanity and truth are always worth defending.

The Devil's Advocate quotes

  • John Milton: Are we negotiating?

    Kevin Lomax: Always.

  • John Milton: Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear for His own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow. Ahaha. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fuckin' ass off! He's a tight-ass! He's a SADIST! He's an absentee landlord! Worship that? NEVER!
