I thought this movie had two endings

The first ending: The young and promising lawyer finally defeated his inner demon and made a righteous choice. This is the ending the movie wants the audience to believe, and it's beautiful. is the side of God.
The second ending: At the moment of death, the young and promising lawyer broke free from the temptation of the devil and achieved self-redemption. Although he can still return to the embrace of God, he has made a big mistake. This is the ending the movie doesn't want the audience to accept, it's evil and cruel. But it is close to reality, and it is a common choice or phenomenon in today's society. I call it the devil's side.
At the end of the film, Pacino appears again. What does the director want to express? I understand what he wants to tell us: we encounter choices again and again in our lives, and we may fall into the trap of vanity again and again, and fall into the trap of the devil. The key is to choose according to our free will. God and the devil are a contradictory unity. They may live in heaven and hell, or they may live in our hearts!

    Seeing a person's back chills and shuddering. Please maintain a kind and upright heart, insist on doing the right thing; know how to restrain yourself, and don't let Satan take advantage of greed. The analogy between Florida and New York is very appropriate. An imaginary butterfly effect, one step and one wrong step, the reversal at the end and then the reversal is absolutely absolute.

    It's pretty good! Come to put one at the end of the movie. Not to mention how exciting a few people are, the goddesses are all showing up! This is the spirit of who I am...It turns out that everyone is a child of Satan. Once you step into the full set of vanity, it will be the devil’s favorite ending.
