Human nature is hard to be tested

In a world full of temptations, hearts change. From Florida to New York, Kevin went from "I will love my wife forever" "I will only change jobs if my wife agrees" to "If I cure my wife and lose the case, I will hate her" And began to lustfully have sex with other women. In the staggered Vanity Fair, Kevin began to lose control, irritability, and indifference.

Vanity is the original sin. The reason for all the changes is that Kevin pleaded not guilty to a teacher who knew his guilt, because he didn't want to lose, including going to New York to sue a real estate tycoon convicted of murder... just because he only wanted to win to maintain his own life. vanity.

"We have a lot of money now, but we are not happy... I am so lonely" The wife's cry made people think about what should be pursued most in life? What makes life happy?

We all want to pursue freedom, but under free will, can we really do anything without any scruples? Don't underestimate the magic of desire and ambition, they can turn into demons that devour you when you don't care.

    How can human beings play with the devil (absolute power)? Films and scenes of the doomsday mood before the millennium were also quite dare to shoot.

    The scale of this film is really not small (uncut version), the front rhythm is too slow, and the second half of the surreal thriller scenes floods like mountains (I like the rising shots of empty New York streets), about religion, law, and humanity. The monologue is very deep, and Keanu Reeves was really eclipsed before Al Pacino's defying acting. Vanity, definitely my favorite sin. (7.5/10)
