Vanity is my favorite original sin

I thought that after Kyle shot, everything will be calm, which is also the final result of their devouring the evil. As a result, as the devil grew wings, his face changed to Kyle's appearance, and he roared, and the picture changed to Kyle staring at himself in the bathroom mirror when he was in Florida at first, with burning fire reflected in his eyes. It looks like the writers want Kyle to start over. But if the audience looks carefully, they will find that the reporter in the toilet seems to know that he will refuse to defend the perverted teacher this time. The smile and sound he made to him when he left is the same as the devil's usual expression. Exactly the same.

So it is not difficult to guess that after the reporter said "u are the star", after Kyle agreed, the reporter's face turned into a devil and said "Vanity is my favorite original sin." This classic line.

There are so many religious metaphors in this film that I don't understand, and I can only talk about the episodes that left a deep impression on me. It was the scene where Kyle saw that the person he had just defended had thought of the Florida case through the physical contact with his adopted daughter, and went out angrily. On the way the police kept persuading him, telling him the truth he was avoiding. When Kyle was moved by the police's words, the devil was looking at the frescoes in the church with great interest at this time. It was originally a pattern of tears of the Virgin of Mercy, which matched Kyle's mood. Then after the devil stretched out his finger and dipped the water in the clear spring, the mural became a devil. At this moment, on Kyle's side, the policeman who saw that Kyle changed his mind grinned, and was killed by a car just as he was about to cross the road.

Although Kyle's wife is also vain, she is more ordinary, so she can't accept all the situations happening around her. At the beginning, when the neighbors were picky about the color of her wallpaper, she accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction turned into anxiety at the drinking party, and then panicked after hearing about the life attitude of the rich ladies. This was given to her by the devil. The film begins with her showing her desire for New York, and she comforts Kyle who is passing through the Florida case. Her participation is indispensable to this vanity. Similarly, at the end, she first pulled Kyle who was about to leave, hoping that he could be interviewed tomorrow, so her vanity contributed to Kyle's vanity.

However, the blood of the devil is flowing on Kyle. Once the vanity is provoked, it will only expand.

    The intersection of reality and surreal, the confrontation of human nature, watching a suitable film at the right time, is very touching. As the director said, the original script was pushed several times by Pacino. In the end, although the script was too educational, it was still a confrontation against tradition. In addition, the climax at the end and the final ending do not follow common sense, which is considered a bright spot.

    Vanity is definitely my favorite sin.

The Devil's Advocate quotes

  • Kevin Lomax: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I know you've spent all morning listening to Mr. Broygo talk; I know you're hungry; what I need to tell you won't take very long at all. I don't like Alexander Cullen. I don't think he's a nice person. I don't expect you to like him. He's been a terrible husband to all three of his wives; he's been a destructive force in the lives of his stepchildren; he's cheated the city, his partners, his employees. He's paid hundreds of thousands of dollas in penalties and fines over the years. I don't like him. I'm going to tell you some things during the course of this trial that are going to make you like him even less. But this isn't a popularity contest; it's a murder trial.

  • John Milton: And as we're straddling from one deal to the next, who's got his eye on the planet, as the air thickens, the water sours, and even the bees' honey takes on the metallic taste of radioactivity? And it just keeps coming, faster and faster. There's no chance to think, to prepare; it's buy futures, sell futures, when there is no future.
