When we live, we are doomed to be disturbed by interests and temptations, because man himself is a species with strong desires.
Because of this desire, some people will lose their minds and do a lot of bad things, and some people will become better people because they have desires, and desire is a double-edged sword.
So what happens if a lawyer who advocates justice loses his conscience because of lust?
The movie "Devil's Spokesperson" that I want to share with you today explains this problem, and the following takes you to take a comprehensive look at this film!
<h3 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Douban 8.3 suspense film, the cast is too strong</h3>
"Devil's Spokesperson" was released in 1997, 23 years ago, with a Douban score of 8.3 and more than 80,000 viewers.
The film's cast is very strong, starting with director Tyler Heckford, who was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Witness Short Film as early as 1979 for "Young Father", and later the director's "Gangster" was also nominated and awarded at the Tokyo Film Festival.
In 2005, he directed "The King of Souls", which was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director!
"Devil's Advocate" did not win any awards, but the audience saw the precious frame of a few rare actors.
First of all, the first male protagonist was played by Levi's, when Levi was 33 years old, it was a handsome and charming time, and his acting skills may not be much recognized by the outside world, and even won the Golden Plum Award twice.
But Levi's handsomeness has never stopped, and in this movie, he played a handsome and handsome lawyer.
This movie includes not only Levis, but also Al Pacino, whom I personally love very much.
Pacino is a full film emperor, who has won the Golden Globe Award, Oscar and other awards, and has been nominated for Oscars many times, of course, also won the golden plum.
He is more familiar with "Scarface", "Smell the Woman", "The Godfather", etc., and last year he was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor,"The Irishman" is also very good-looking.
Devil's Advocate is one of his many works that may be very inconspicuous, but in this film he happens to play a big villain, which is a rare challenge for Pacino, and he was 57 years old when he made the film.
I said I liked the cast of the film, not only because Levis and Pacino were both in the cast, but also because I personally liked Charlize very much. Theron was there.
At that time, Theron was only 22 years old, and although his acting skills were not as pure as when he was in his 30s, he was very charming, with the purity and sweetness of a little girl, and a feeling of pity.
The film records the past of Levis, Pacino, and Theron, and also allows the audience to see the rare frame of the three.
So what story does the film that the three of them performed in the same way tell? Let's briefly talk about the plot!
<h3 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > lawyer loses his justice and conscience and becomes a slave to Satan</h3>
Kevin is a young and promising lawyer who grew up with his mother, and his father was not around since he was a child, but fortunately his mother educated him very well.
He had a beautiful and beautiful wife, but the two had no children for a long time.
He is very good at business and has never lost a lawsuit.
When dealing with the case of a little girl who was abused by a teacher, he knew that the teacher was a beast, but in order to preserve his undefeated record, he found the loophole in the girl's statement, dismissed it on the charge that the girl was retaliating against the teacher's deliberate slander, and finally won the winning rate and saved his undefeated glory.
Because of this, he received an invitation from a well-known firm in New York, which offered very good conditions to invite him and his wife, and finally could not resist the temptation, and he took her with him.
The luxury of New York is indeed impressive, from accommodation to work, which makes the couple very shocked.
Kevin is determined to stay here, his boss Milton is a very strange person, he is very optimistic about Kevin, and the case handed over to Kevin is also very smooth.
But his wife is very unaccustomed to living here, on the one hand, Kevin's neglect of her, such as attending a party together, he actually left his wife at the party for three hours.
The wife felt lonely, and the complaints against him were increasing.
Milton also handed over a particularly significant case to Kevin, a real estate tycoon suspected of killing his wife and servant, for whom he needed to be defended.
The tycoon has a 90% probability of killing people, Kevin knows this well, but uses the point that the tycoon and the assistant cheated to refute it, so that the assistant told a lie, saying that on the night of the crime, the tycoon and the assistant had an alibi, but in fact, there was no.
Kevin triumphed again, but his wife sat nervously in the church, saying that Milton had defiled her.
Kevin couldn't imagine that his wife was suffering from mental illness and took her to the hospital.
But the wife could not bear this treatment and her husband's distrust, she locked herself up and committed suicide with broken glass.
At this time, his mother suddenly arrived, saying that Milton was actually his father, and Kevin could not bear it and did not want to believe it.
So he ran out, but found that there was no one on the streets of New York, he found Milton, and in anger, he raised his gun and shot Milton, but the other party was not injured at all.
Milton says that he is Satan, the king of hell, and that if Kevin and his other child give birth to a child, they can defeat God and rule the world.
But Kevin didn't want to, and he raised his gun and pointed it at himself.
Gunfire rang out, Milton was burned in the fire, and Kevin grew wings and flew away.
In an instant, Kevin was back at the scene of the trial of the little girl abuse case at the beginning.
He seemed to understand something, he gave up defending the teacher, losing for the first time in his life, but he felt it was worth it, and he embraced his wife and disappeared under the watchful eyes of reporters.
At this time, a reporter stopped him, as before, hoping that he would go to New York to develop, and the man's face suddenly changed to Milton, and the movie ended.
The movie really explains what is temptation, just like the male protagonist as a lawyer, in order to be undefeated, he may know that his defender is a sinner and shield the other party to help the other party get rid of the punishment of the law.
Milton is the symbol of the devil, and once people can't resist the temptation to get on his thief ship, then they will bear a series of serious consequences.
The movie itself is 144 minutes long, but what I personally watched is obviously cut, and some of the plot is incomplete and seems a little confusing.
But the idea of the movie itself is still great, Levi's is indeed very handsome, handsome, and Theron is also young and beautiful, full of collagen.
Pacino is still sophisticated, and there is a hint of evil among the gentlemen, which is a good interpretation of the role.
