Devil at ease

GoSolo Music : Tom Rosenthal - The PleasantTrees

It can be described as a classic full of eyes, an absolute visual feast. Hollywood was at its peak at that time! Can not help but sigh. Many legendary movies are created every year.

The gathering of three big names, plus the blessing of the director and screenwriter, has an unparalleled charm. A speech that penetrates the soul and goes straight to the deepest part of the soul.

This is an extreme movie from the first second to the last second, and there are very few movies that can bring out the same impression in memory. It is so rare and so precious.

Sometimes I can't bear to watch those classic movies, one less than one, and my life is still so long. Although this reason is a bit ridiculous and far-fetched, the real situation may not be able to spare too much time to watch a classic...

When the foundation for producing films with a specific era background is lost, those craftsmen are missing, there is no humanistic atmosphere, and there is no ecology, it will never be possible to reproduce its glorious moment. The reason why it is necessary to inherit intangible cultural heritage is because of its non-renewable nature. Any loss of culture, re-engraving will be a futile copy, and there will be no original flavor. The destruction of ecology is far easier than protection, and the cost of restoration after destruction is high.

There is no end to the accumulation of material wealth, and it is greed to include wealth that has not yet been acquired. The 21st century is a century of greed. People are not enough to swallow elephants. Financial giants play with global capital, turning clouds and rains, covering the sky with only one hand. When civilization is dragged into barbarism, from order back to chaos, man degenerates into animals. The reason why people are people is that they have moral constraints, and civilization can only be established by people who have constraints. Human civilization may come to an end, but is it too hasty to be trapped on the earth and consume it early? Looking at space, there are resources in the entire universe to be developed. The pattern is to be opened.

    The ambition is too great, the whole process is drug-like crazy, the entry point is great, the dialectical discussion between God and Satan existentialism. Everyone is born with original sin, and lives for all kinds of redemption. One thought of heaven and hell, and then giving you another choice, it may be a different result. Pacino’s performance is still above the standard. I like the rhythm and claustrophobic atmosphere in the first half, but the excessive preaching in the third act is a bit ruining the atmosphere.

    Sleepy in the first half, panic in the second half. Al Pacino old school dude tastes very special

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!
