I thought I’d write about The Devil’s Advocate after watching it yesterday then changed my mind. “Nobody’ll give a shit,” I thought. But then Brigitte mentioned the movie in her post, which is a sign from God. So, here are my highlights from the movie:
[sing along everyone]
Romans 16:19 says!
Romans 16:19 says!
Be excellent in what is good
Be innocent of e-veel
Be excellent in what is good
Be innocent of e-veel
[still singin’?]
And the God of Peace will soon crush Sa-tan
God will crush him underneath your feet!
And the God of Peace will soon crush Sa-tan
God will crush him underneath your feeeeeeet!
In this scene, the church folk sing this little ditty. A pudgy black woman dolled up in her Sunday best, looks so adorable. She’s singing, clapping moving side to side. She wears a white bow in her hair. She reminds me of a little girl telling the devil, “You’re gonna get it good!”
I always sing along when I watch this movie. I like the God of peace will soon crush Satan part best – that’s when I shake my finger at the Devil. For the next few days after watching, I sing the song, to myself, out loud, while walking up the hill to the bus on my way home from work, letting out the farts that I had to hold in all day. Coworkers pass in their cars, “Sandee, want a ride up the hill?” “No, that’s okay. I’ve got to, decompress,” I say – hehehe.
This next part I like in the movie is the Devil’s speech which gets to me because it’s so darned true if you really think about it. Tell me if you don’t feel the same way after watching it! The devil says he’s a humanist. How about that? This scene makes me want to stand up in the pews and testify – tell it Devil!
This next scene is a girl on the witness stand talking about a game she’s played with her friends called Special Places. “Is this game sexual in nature?” The defense lawyer (played by Keanu Reeves) asks. The young girl whimpers, “Yes.”
I’m like “What?!” Special Places! That sounds haawwwt. With roiling hot adolescents? This game never made it to my playground. When we were adolescents we played True Dare Consequences Promise or Repeat. Special Places gets to the point if you know what I mean. How many special places do you have? True Dare was all over the gaddam place. We kept it focused though. Everyone always chose Dare. It was I dare you to tongue kiss this one, or I dare you to put your hand down that one’s pants – eeeevery once in a blue moon it might be I dare you to f-u-c-k somebody – I neee-ver ever did that. But I heard Judy Head-Blesser did!
In this last part the Devil says that on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most depraved act of sexual theater known to man, he got it on with Mary Ann at about seven — whooooa! But this is the Devil. He should’ve been able to get up to ten — at least.
