Edit, Two detectives, William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) and David Mills (Brad Pitt), search for a serial killer who bases each kill on one of the seven deadly sins. RIGHT!? In parallel order to the sins they oppose, the Seven Holy Virtues are Chastity, Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Patience, Kindness, and Humility. Pride is seen as the most serious sin, from which all others arise; a love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbour. That being said, Ive never really understood the appeal of Se7en. His hands had been cut off and the skin stitched back together. @HorusKol The argument of the statement is, we've had 25 years to pick it apart and analyse and/or compare to movies that have done something similar, ripped off and or both and did it better. In an interview with Cinefantastique magazine, however, screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker stated that the primary influence for the film's screenplay came from his time spent in New York City while trying to make it as a screenwriter. In my mind, this was the perfect way for John Doe to demoralize the detectives by showing them the inescapable nature of our sins. Mills' "simple" life. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. In short; Tracy told John Doe she was pregnant. After Mills and Somerset discover the "sloth" victim they're accosted in a stairwell by a photographer. Reminder that Paltrow didn't get off easy during envy. Seven in the movie se7en refers to the the 7 deadly sins that people should not commit. This looks far more like Southern California and LA does have a rudimentary subway system. The "Sloth" victim was Victor (Michael Reid MacKay), a notorious paedophile. For greed, he killed a lawyer. in the last scene, Tracy died by Doe's jealousy hence "envy" then Doe died by Mills' hatred hence "wrath" Share Improve this answer Follow answered Jan 27, 2015 at 22:17 Gab 21 1 Add a comment 0 "And David Fincher told me, 'You look horrific, it's great.' Throughout the film, Mills is considered Somerset's successor, and Doe's targeting of the young detective is seemingly a way of forcing Somerset to take stock of himself. I think it works so well because, as you observe, theyre archetypes even the city is just the city, archetypal and anonymous. As for pride, The model she wasnt engaging in sin of pride. I rewatched a few clips from se7ven and also had an issue with the victims of sloth, lust, and pride. I think pride was the choice made after the disfigurement: That said, abusing children seems like more than spiritual apathy its a much more direct and active type of crime, and it feels like it would have been more firmly rooted in lust. I think its a mark of quality that a movie makes you delve into details like that.
