I mean, why would an all-knowing, all-loving, almighty being create us--it's supposedly beloved "children"--with a nature not only neutral towards but actively, and often deeply, attracted to certain behaviors but then declare those behaviors off limits?
      It's almost as if the, as it were, "morals" commanded by this being were really made up by leaders from the priest and noble classes to control the behaviors of the citizenry for socio-economic reasons.

      Yeah, but they made also terribly bad movies in the 90s, just like in the 80s, the 70s or today. Fallen, Seven and to lesser degree Devil's advocate are of course outstanding movies, but that's why they are still remembered and all the Z-grade junk has been forgotten. That's why you rembember Casablanca, the Big Sleep and the Maltese Falcon, but not all of the hundreds of film noir movies of the 40s (yeah, Casablanca is no film noir, I know but you get what i mean, good ones are remembered, junk is forgotten, if it is not as terrible as Plan 9).
      I guarantee, that in 20 years people will look back and say: look at all those great movies like John Wick, The Dark Knight, Sicario, Bad times at the El Royale, Savages, Den of Thieves, Hollywood just doesn't make'em like that anymore.

    This movie has my absolute favorite monologue:
    Guilt is like a bag of f**king bricks. All you have to do is set it down. And who are you carrying all those bricks around for anyway? God? Let me give you a little inside information about god. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. No, think about it. He gives man instinct. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does he do? I swear, for his own amusement; his own private cosmic gag reel. He sets the rules in opposition! It's the goof of all time. Look, but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste; don't swallow. And while you're busy jumping from one foot to the other, what's he doing? He's up there, laughing his sick f**king a$$ off! He's a tight-a$$. He's a sadist. He's an absentee landlord. Worship that? Never.

      My best guess: ~3 days
      1 day research and gathering source material, selection of bg music, 1/2 day for the script, 1/2 filming, 1 day editing everything together, recording the audio track, synchronizing both, inserting visual overlays, and finally uploading that stuff. This means for 2 videos a week, he probably works around 5-6 days a week. He may be somewhat faster but one shouldn't underestimate the effort. And I'm also pretty sure, unlike Ed Wood, he takes more then 1 cut.
      Given it's "just" a You Tube video and not a high, budget production, but if they are somewhat professionally made, there is a lot of work necessary that one just doesn't recognize by simply consuming it. All done by a single individual who has to do everything by himself. Living of "doing RUclips videos" sounds fun, but when being done as professionally as possible, that's a lot of hard work, if you are not supported by (an expensive) team.

    When you said prequel: I can imagine Milton starting out, and maybe his first attempt to seduce and 'groom' a protige was a young Eddie Barzoon. But he just gets ground down by guilt and becomes the sad sack we see in Devil's advocate, no one special anymore, still with the firm because once the devil doesn't need you, he can't even be bothered to fire you, just moves his attention to the next attempt, Keanu. Just an idea.

    This movie mixes fiction with truth. My heart started pounding when I first saw the scenes where Charlieze's character saw the women's real demonic faces. In 1982 my dear father had to have a hernia operation and in hospital he started losing his mind (maybe the anesthetic affected him and a deep depression came over him ). He was fearful of one doctor and he tried to jump out the window to get away from him. When he came home he was constantly scared and couldn't be left alone. There was 2 celebrities on Aussie TV who scared him every time they were shown, and he would say "look look at their faces - can't you see they are evil?" One was Bert Newton and the other was Tony Barber. We all would say to dad that his mind was playing tricks on him and he was suffering from depression. He would say that we should have gone to church more. We took him to a psychiatrist and after a while he seemed to get better and mum could leave him alone for short times. Well one day mum went shopping with my sister - gone only 1 hour - and when she came home found my beloved father hung in the chicken shed. He left a note saying - "no one believes me and so I will end it" . Our family had always been lukewarm catholics going to church only for funerals, weddings and baptisms, but after this traumatic and tragic event I slowly started truly believing in God and I became a fundamental christian. If I had been a christian when my father went through all that alone I could have helped him by instead of saying it was all in his head I could have reassured him by saying God would protect him and by believing him with the torment he was going through, just like Keanu's wife.

    I really enjoyed the concept of this movie, one of my favorites. The ending I think may be interpreted differently...
    When Kevin kills himself, he’s actually committing a sin, therefore his soul went to hell and now belongs to the devil/Milton (as his wife’s soul since she also killed herself).
    So, Kevin and his wife didn’t just “went back in time”, I think it’s actually Milton manipulating them trying to convince Kevin to join him. And he got the whole eternity to tempt Kevin over and over again.
    I spoke about it with some friends after we saw it at the theater, but I think they prefer a happier ending, so no one really accepted my theory (but were unable to contest it).
    Well, maybe the original ending would be better for Kevin... killing the devil and being in prison for murder might be better to live in hell...

I was raised religious and it wasn’t allowed in our house at all. 2. I had skipped school to go see it so I was already a little nervous and knowing I was up to no good lol. 3. Between the theater being empty, the religious imagery, the devil basically cursing God in that monologue, and the scene where the entire city was empty (not to mention the demon faces) by the time it ended I was sure I had missed the rapture. I might be the only person that was horrified by the movie and haven’t seen it again since 😂

The 80's was the bronze age of horror movies. Devils Advocate is a big must watch that I very highly recommend watching it including the hardcore religious people. Just make sure you have a crucifix on your hand or rosary or like me the hellraiser cube cause it is going to be a wild ride to the unknown.
