For a movie that tries to explore the true nature of the Devil, Der Grosse Bagarozy offers the audience an interesting outlook on the Devil. The Devil was tired of mass destruction, as human was able to conduct such things by themselves; but instead, the Devil set his goal on totally crushing a person, mentally and physically. He at first believed he would succeed and find joy in his victory over fragile humanity. But, in the end, he realized he could not grasp pride and delight from destroying and devastating people. Although in the end, humanity seemed to triumph over devilishness, the movie still didn't end in a totally happy tone. Terror and manipulation will always find its way back to our world. But the darkness of the movie is, overall, lightened by the romance tale. The character of the Devil is enriched, and becomes more complicated and realer. This is not a particularly profound or warning movie, but it is enjoyable and it has things to say.
