She says Milton came over, they talked for hours, then he seduced her and raped her. But since he was in court all that time, can he be in two places at once? Or was the Milton in court just a demon in disguise? Or was Mary Ann's rape just a dream caused by Milton?
"Cum Grano Salis"
They were both Milton. The devil was powerful enough to be in two places at once.
shareExactly.
Milton/Satan wasn't in the courtroom, he just magically projected his image there.
He was really in the apartment, attacking Mary Ann.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.
In "Lost Highway", also released in 1997, yes the David Lynch movie, its character "Mystery Man", played by Robert Blake, was also able to be in two places at once. Albeit in that movie, the scene which proves it is where at the party he gives Bill Pullman's character his phone and says "Call me" and then "Told you I was here!"
shareThe mistery Man is a proyection of Bill Pullman subconscious anger and jealous, everything that happen in that movie happen in the mind of Bill Pullman, he kill his wife before the movie start and everything we see is just his mind creating a fantasy sceneario where he dint kill her when he is young with diferent parents but reality always break his fantasy
That movie is fucking brilliant that and Mulholland Drive are into the best movies in history for me
Nobody raped her. It was consensual.
shareErr, it was rape I'm afraid, and don't forget also, she was covered in cuts as well.
P.S. In the aforementioned movie "Lost Highway" (1997), albeit not by Robert Blake's "Mystery Man" character, Patricia Arquette's character was also at one point a victim of such a deed, though you can also debate if that scene was "sexual assault" term wise, but she was no doubt a victim too and it was also unsettling, as were other themes and scenes in the movie.
P.P.S Although The Devil's Advocate and Lost Highway, besides being both released in 1997, are different movies, I challenge you one day to watch them and see if you can detect similarities, you may find some in common. And in some ways, I really couldn't help but compare The Devil in this one, John Milton, and Mystery Man from LH.
In the novel he had his way with the wives of all the associates posing as their husbands. He was spreading his progeny.
shareAlso, I don't mean to sound this or that but I also wonder, in that scene with her, which was implied in this movie, did he use any of his demonic supernatural powers, and beyond hearing Kevin Lomax tell her that Milton was in court, did she identify any supernatural features on him and see him as any kind of supernatural Satanic figure, i.e. glowing red eyes, supernatural windy body movements, otherworldly screams etc, and was when she said something eerie at the church about the "bath water running or something", which made him difficult to hear, was any of that also supernatural?
shareI always thought some of his associates were actually demons. Like the scene, where Mary-Ann sees that woman´s distorted demon face for a moment.
shareHe is the devil he can be in diferent places at the same time
