The Devil's Advocate Although the devil said it twice: vanity, my favorite original sin. (Vanity, definitely my favoriate sin.) But actually, it's not just vanity, it's greed. Buddhism has three poisons: greed, hatred, and delusion. The movie at least interprets the greedy side of human nature. The male protagonist has never lost a lawsuit, he is greedy for a complete victory. Under the temptation of the devil step by step, he became more and more firm in his greed. He had many opportunities to choose to return to a simple life, but, he didn't, his ambition made him voluntarily make a depraved choice. The ending of the film is also sad. The movie sets him up as nothing more than a nightmare, and when he wakes up, he realizes that he doesn't defend the first customer. However, Satan turned into a reporter again, promising that the male protagonist would become a famous figure. The male protagonist escapes the temptation of conscience, but may fall into the temptation of fame and fortune, which is another kind of degeneration. Satan is present in all the choices in life. If you are not careful, you will fall into Satan's trap, but you don't know anything about it, or you know that it is a lamb to be slaughtered.
