devil in heart

It happens that I have been in the awakening stage of human nature for the past six months. When I watch this kind of film again, I feel that it is more inspirational than the inspiration I read in the past.

Of course, I will still talk about vanity, selfishness, lust, these "original sin" themes, choose from countless seemingly inconspicuous forks, what path to go, and what kind of destination you will eventually reach.

The plot of the story is relatively conventional, and the story of success, but some more classic lines are interspersed with the mouth of Satan, which is even more elevated. Although it has obvious religious overtones, it is indeed human nature.

In that room he growled, you set me up, but Satan said it was all your choice. There have always been two paths, and I told you the other possibility, but you didn't go either. What is scary is not wealth and fame, but people's hearts.

In addition, the jogging of the general manager, when he was robbed and died, is also quite symbolic. Although I don't understand what he's hiding now. And the person who was hit by the car didn't know the meaning of the hit.

Not everyone is like the protagonist, who has the courage to end with a shot, and it is even more difficult to have the opportunity to start over, and only the moment can be grasped.

If this film is here, I think it is quite good, it gives people some hope, and finally relaxes in the constant tension and depression, it is a HE. And in the last "tomorrow morning" "the first thing", the devil's smile is really the finishing touch. Thinking that I had done "the right thing", I fell into the old pit unknowingly.

    Maybe it's because I don't like Christianity. I don’t really like this kind of religious fantasy movie that is full of preaching, too strong, too strong in interpretation, and long in the middle (still a lot of scenes are deleted). Especially Charlize Theron's neurotic look. Al Pacino is really good at acting. The highlights are all at the end. "Vanity is my favorite original sin" three and a half
