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.

    Except for the dressing of some of the characters in the film, there is a sense of age. It is really not seen that it is a film in 1997, especially the sculpture that will transform the entire wall of Al Pacino's room. The special effects are absolutely amazing! Al Pacino's aura is too strong, and large sections of personal monologues are tailor-made for his interpretation. Human psychology should be good, but there will always be times when Satan takes advantage of it. The good and evil ends of Tianbian should be tilted toward that side. It's not easy to handle!

    My poor Keanu, although you are handsome and tall, you are crushed to death by the dwarf old godfather of the big bad wolf like a white rabbit. Al Pacino's acting skills are not ordinary praise, the interpretation of evil is so elegant, charming and long-lasting aftertaste. Recall that Chinese actors seem to have imitated Wu Zhenyu in "Infernal Affairs 2".

    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?"
