Film masterpiece "Devil's Advocate". Actors, roles, storyline.

The fundamental and breathtaking film "Devil's Advocate" (actors: Keanu Reeves, Al Pacino, Charlize Theron) is based on the novel of the same name by Andrew Neiderman (Devil's Advocate, 1990). Successful screen adaptation was highly appreciated by film critics and a wide spectator audience, deservedly received the prestigious Saturn Prize in a separate category - Best Horror Film.

Damn high quality

The most intriguing and stunning in the idea of the film is that the picture shows a real world without movie exaggeration and embellishment, a world steeped in seven sins: pride, envy, greed, gluttony, laziness, lust and anger. The mystical bias only adds color to what is happening on the screen of insanity. Although the success of the picture "Devil's Advocate", whose actors already had international fame, many explain quite different reasons. Directed by Taylor Hackford did not take advantage of particularly sophisticated advertising services to promote his satirical-mystical message to the audience, however, the film has collected a significant amount in the US film distribution. Residents of America at the same time admire and to the hidden depths of the soul hate the US judicial system, namely, lawyers, "hyenoid", ready to sell for anything that pisses money off. This sad tendency attracted crowds of people to the cinema halls, ensuring the popularity of the movie "Devil's Advocate".

Actors and roles

The actors who performed the main roles (Charlize Theron, Keanu Reeves, Al Pacino) were truly magnificent. Feeling the characters, the trio played competently and realistically, although in a grandiose jobmanship and a unique stinging manner with Al Pacino, no one could compete. He was inimitable in the role of the devil, which is not surprising, because sometimes a great actor could save any film from commercial failure. The master literally "got into the skin of the Devil". And the writers made his character an invaluable gift - a wonderful, with a touch of philosophy and sarcasm of dialogue. His mouth speaks truth in the cinema.

Victim of the Devil

The actors of the film "Devil's Advocate" are charismatic and uncommon, but Charlize Theron stands out: Mary Ann's heroine was to become "a ray of light in the realm of obscurantism." The actress flawlessly embodied on the screen the image of a trustful, gentle and loving wife of the protagonist. At the beginning of the film, the cheerful and beloved Mary enjoys family happiness and a cloudless existence, until her husband gets a job in the ill-fated New York City, impregnated with vices and sins. Later, she becomes a real victim of the Devil himself, slowly fading in the hectic of what is happening. For a bright character, Charlize is worthy of high praise and stormy applause.

Serpent Tempter

Many viewers after viewing the picture "Devil's Advocate" the name of the actor who played the snake-tempter, uttered in a reverent whisper. The role of John Milton is really considered the best in film career Al Pacino. If the devil really exists, he certainly resembles a great actor. Bottomless, cold eyes, manner of talking, grimaces - everything is so realistic that the image of the devil in the actor's interpretation does not require controversy. And his monologues are so rampant, bribingly honest, that when you listen to them you understand that Al Pacino is an obvious supporter of the Stanislavsky system.

Sacrifice of own vices

Some critics argue that the tape "Devil's Advocate", whose actors deserve the highest praise, is not a blockbuster, and therefore does not quite fit the performer of the main role - Keanu Reeves. The actor got quite an interesting character. He played his role professionally accurately, deeply enough, realistically and truthfully - a person who tirelessly pursues the notorious happiness that sees exclusively in money, in material things, in all-consuming success, and embarks on a fiery trail. Man chooses his values independently.

The film is frightening

"Devil's Advocate", whose actors were listed above, is far from a blockbuster, but the movie is spectacular, equipped with a few but pretty decent special effects. The movie turned out to be frightening, not in form, but in essence. During the viewing and perception it becomes really scary, and the fear that arises is not what you experience from viewing a horror movie, it is not typical - exalted and devastating.
