original sin

What is the original sin? The film mentions vanity. Vanity comes from comparison. It attracts people to pursue luxury and suffers from death. In the end, the male protagonist still agreed to the interview. Does it imply that the story behind will still be the same as before? But if you do good things, you want others to know, and if you do bad things, you don't want others to know that this is nature, unless you are sages. Vanity makes the male protagonist unwilling to return to Florida, even if his wife is mentally broken, vanity makes him unwilling to lose the case, even if he smashes the temple of God. A lamb who has no experience in the world is seen stepping into the wolf pack, and it is inevitable to be swallowed, unless it can resist the vanity of fame and fortune, and do the right thing, but this film uses a profound exposure of the weaknesses of human nature to attract people's thinking, not The traditional greatness and great reunion, in the end, the male protagonist is still vain, so the ending can be regarded as open.

    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)

    John Milton: Yeah Eddie, you write beautiful!

  • John Milton: There's this beautiful girl just fucked me forty ways from Sunday... we're done, she's walking to the bathroom, she's trying to walk, she turns... she looks... it's me. Not the Trojan army just fucked her. Little ol' me. She has this look on her face like: "How the hell did that happen?"
