"I'm Virgil, counselor, and I'm guiding you through the gates of hell! We are now in the 9th circle, the circle of traitors. Traitors to country, traitors to fellow man, traitors to God! You, sir, are charged with betraying the principles of all three! Can you please quote for me the American Bar Association's Rules of Professional Conduct, Canon seven?"

"A lawyer should represent his client…"

"Should zealously represent his client within the bounds of law! And I find you guilty, counselor, guilty of betraying your fellow man, guilty of betraying your country, guilty of abrogating your oath, guilty of judging me and selling me out! And with the power vested in me by the kingdom of God, I sentence you to the 9th circle of hell! Now you'll learn about loss, loss of freedom, loss of humanity, Now, you and I will truly be the same, counselor! "

    It is indeed a very classic film. In those days, it was possible to express such a sense of horror through images. I admire it! “Because if you hang onto the past, you die a little every day”

    De Niro plays not only a realistic avenger, but a seducer, torturer, and judge like Satan. His appearance tore through the peace and hypocrisy of the American middle-class family, and the deeper fear stems from his haunting trails and highly inflammatory speeches. Martin absorbed the anti-typological treatment under the Hitchcock extreme typology framework, from disaster to curse, and sensory fear extended to motivational fear. A large period of high-speed pushing and pulling of the pan makes the character always feel uneasy and anxious to get out of it. At the end, Satan is killed by a boulder, but the real end of the world has just begun.
