title
How is this title expressed by the movie? I haven't seen it but am intrigued by the title.
shareI haven't see the film, and don't know if I'll ever get to, but I can hazard a guess.
In medieval morality plays, the seven deadly sins were personified by three demons with corresponding sins. The sins of the Flesh were sloth, gluttony, lust, wrath, and envy. The World's main sin was greed, and the Devil's pride. The three together would tempt an everyman character, basically externalizing an internal struggle in general terms through an allegory.
Just as Everyman is a self-similar part of mankind, I believe if you took an average person and isolated him you'd more or less extrapolate the whole of the human condition.
