The Devils Advocate 1997

Devils Advocate thematically raises the preposition that is winning everything in the legal profession.Does a lawyer commits the basic sin of Vanity if he believes his job is to win, as Kevin does. Further the movie in John Miltons trenchant speech questions the very notion of righteousness in the post-modern world. Miltons speech rips apart the whole discourse of religion when he presents the inherent contradiction of it. Kevins dilemma reflects the modern man who accuses the circumstances for being what he is,the culture dominated by making money which build egos of the size of cathedral, the question is can one really call what one does freely-willed?. The movie deals with these Hamltian questions in a lawyers mind.
