The Devil's Advocate

The Devil's Advocate

This is a very Christian movie. If I saw this movie half a year ago, I should still have a half-knowing. This involves original sin, God and Satan, the rule of the world, sin in this world, and other issues mentioned in the Bible. Every scene of the plot design feels like it has scriptures to test it. With my superficial understanding of the Bible, there is no way to describe them one by one, but it is true that after reading the Bible for a few months, I was suddenly excited when watching this movie. But at the same time, it aroused my long-standing question: How can a country with Christianity as its state religion be so contrary to its beliefs in terms of value orientation.

This film asks exactly that question. In the film, Milton, that is, Satan, used vanity as bait to try to make Kevin fall into his trap. He packaged sin into human nature and planted it on the Lamb of God. At the end of the movie, Kevin rejects his temptation and chooses integrity. However, this choice is not representative in American society.

Lawyers are a tightrope walking profession, finding reasonable doubts for profit, struggling between justice and evil, but it is one of the most respected professions in the United States. And the entire American society, based on the American dream, regards fame, money, and status as the goals of struggle, even in the name of morality, it is still not advocated by God. American values ​​of individualism are far from the Christian ideology of man and altruism. Why is such a country that has long been immersed in Christianity so far from its religion in the field of values? On the contrary, in the East, this area rarely mentioned in the Bible has been preached in the same way as "God's Word" since ancient times?

Could it be that Satan has actually triumphantly transplanted sin into everyone, and what is human we willingly accept is an unalterable truth? And whether it is the Bible, the Analects, or the Buddhist scriptures, are they just levers to balance our fragile and easily out-of-balance human nature?

Actually, I don't have answers for any of these...or maybe I am thinking too much

The Devil's Advocate quotes

  • John Milton: Now with this? Now that you're down? I'd get ready for one of those, Class-A, New York-style pigfucks.

  • John Milton: Eddie Barzoon, Eddie Barzoon. Hah! Oh, I nursed him through two divorces, a cocaine rehab, and a pregnant receptionist. Heh. God's creature, right? God's special creature? Hah! And I've warned him Kevin, I've warned him every step of the way. Watching him bounce around like a fucking game, like a windup toy! Like 250 pounds of self serving greed on wheels. The next thousand years is right around the corner, Kevin, and Eddie Barzoon-take a good look, because he's the poster child for the next millennium! These people, it's no mystery where they come from. You sharpen the human appetite to the point where it can split atoms with its desire, you build egos the size of cathedrals, fiber-optically connect the world to every eager impulse, grease even the dullest dreams with these dollar-green, gold plated fantasies until every human becomes an aspiring emperor, becomes his own god, and where can you go from there? And as we're scrambling 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! We got a runaway train boy, we got a billion Eddie Barzoons all jogging into the future. Every one of 'em getting ready to fist-fuck god's ex-planet, lick their fingers clean as they reach out toward their pristine, cybernetic keyboards to total up their billable hours. And then it hits home! You gotta pay your own way, Eddie. It's a little late in the game to buy out now! Your belly's too full, your dick is sore, your eyes are bloodshot, and you're screaming for someone to help! But guess what? There's no one there! You're all alone, Eddie. You're god's special little creature. Maybe it's true, maybe god threw the dice once too often. Maybe he let us all down.
