another face of god

The courtroom theme points directly to an absolute classic of human nature.
In the eyes of the court bathroom "Reeves", the story structure of "the state is born from the heart" is suspected, and the director has some Buddhist complexes. From the concept of time and space, he proposes an absurd theme "If time can be repeated..."
Devil's Advocate "Pacino" is a blasphemous declaration full of passion to slander God.
The film leaves an eternal question for humanistic concerns: which one dominates the world, survival or justice?

    The ending gave people a little comfort. Many things have been experienced before I know how much impact the original choice will have in the future. Fortunately, Kevin only had a nightmare and people in reality can only live by reflection.

    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.

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.
