Prince: The Devil's Advocate...
The inspiration he got from the movie- ‘Devil Advocate’; it is an impactful one; he learns that the basic of morality itself should originate from a person’s thought; or else, in whatever situation, sin will call for you.
In the movie, Keanu Reeves is acting as Kevin Lomax, a winning lawyer; while, Al Pacino is acting as John Milton, who offers Kevin an enormous sum of money to come to New York to help the firm with a trial.
“Subsequently Kevin accepts an offer to leave Florida for good and join the firm as a partner. The firm's chairman, John Milton, a highly charismatic and influential man, becomes Lomax's mentor, pushing him towards arrogance and greed.
The story climaxes as John Milton is found to be the devil and Kevin Lomax his son. Milton dismisses the Biblical information that indicates that the Devil will lose Armageddon, and wants Lomax to join him and fellow law partner Christabella Andreoli, who turns out to be Lomax's sister, in a familial union that requires him to produce the Antichrist with Andreoli. Lomax rejects his heritage when he commits suicide and ends Milton's plans.
Lomax is then returned to the past, at the moment when, in the small Florida town, he is mulling over his options while in the courtroom bathroom before successfully defending the aforementioned child molester. It is revealed that the movie had been a flash of conscience for Lomax or, as a more interesting possibility, an even most elaborate mind-game of manipulation played on him by the devil (who confesses repeatedly during the movie that vanity is his favorite sin). Lomax asks to be taken off the case, causing an outrage, and walks off with his wife as they are being followed by reporters. One of them convinces him to be interviewed on the news the following morning. After Lomax walks away, the reporter is revealed to be Milton, who turns to the camera, grins knowingly, and says: "Vanity...definitely my favorite sin."
The devil preyed on him again; his arrogance and greed… “Vanity…definitely my favorite sin…”If only he would have understood himself, that arrogance and greed are dangerous; the devil shall find no room for his favourite sin…
