Plot (borrowed from IMDb): Police drama about two cops, one new and one about to retire, after a serial killer using the seven deadly sins as his MO.
AND HERE BE SPOILERS!!!!!!
It starts with a man getting dressed. He’s a cop… homicide… I know this because I’ve seen the movie before, and he is at this moment standing over a dead body discussing murder with another guy, who is also a cop. They could, of course, be bad guys, but as I said… I’ve seen the movie before… and the other guy is talking about how glad they all will be when the first dude retires. And if they were bad guys, the only way to retire is when someone kills you… and I don’t think the first dude would take his retirement so lightheartedly if that was the truth. But there is also another clue… The first guy is Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt just walked up the stairs, looked at Freeman and said “Detective Summerset?” So let’s just assume they are cops and be done with it.
I remember watching this movie in the theater. I loved it then and I love it now. Let me just first say that I, as a rule of thumb, don’t like movies with Brad Pitt in them. I don’t like him as an actor…but in Se7en he’s good. He is the perfect new guy on the block with things to prove.
As for Morgan Freeman…. I have never denied that he is one of my favorite actors, and as Summerset he is perfect. The voice of reason and knowledge… He does whatever he can to teach Mills what he knows.
Kevin Spacy is in this lovely movie too. He didn’t want his name to be in the credits or have top billing cause people would expect to see him right away in the movie, and when they didn’t they’d think a bit they’d realise he’s the bad guy… And what a bad guy!!! Ace killer…
I had totally forgotten Gwyneth Paltrow was in this movie (but she dies, so no biggie)
The movie Se7en is about a crazy killer with a grudge, killing people in the way of the seven deadly sins.
Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Pride, Lust and Envy… And he really got some crazy ways of killing those people too. Well, Sloth guy didn’t really die…but I bet he wished he had…
The movie takes you on a journey though the mid of a madman, only showing ou the end result of his craziness. Not until later do we find out exactly why the killer did what he did. Not that it is at all comforting…seeing as anyone can snap and kill people… anyone can be the victim because no one is without sin. Even the most saintly heart must have felt the stab of envy, even for the briefest of seconds. Hell, even I am not without sin. BUT IF ANYONE CRAZY PEOPLE READ THIS, I AM REALLY NICE AND UNJUDGEMENTAL!!!!! <.<;;;;;;
So yeah… Killer kills people, police tried to catch killer, killer ups the any by letting the police catch him and say “there are two more victims, let me take you to them” and of course the police say “YAY”
Turns out the killer has killed Mills’ wife (Gwyneth) which leaves one… the killer… envy… Mills kills killer and end of story…
I think this has to be one of the best scary movies I’ve seen. As I’ve said before I don’t scare easily and I need something exciting to keep me interested. This is such a movie. All of these new movies made: “House of 10000000 corpses”, “The Hills have eyes”, “House of wax” etc. did nothing for me at all. The only cool part in “House of 1000000 corpses” is when the crazy guy severs a guys spine with the jaws of life (OK, so it wasn’t the jaws of life, but it was a clippy thingie, and it was cool)
At least I think it was that movie… But they are all the same now a days… it’s boring..
The Japanese so good scary movies… Well, Asia in general.. But why do they American movie industry have to ruin it all with bad bad bad Americanisations?
So… let’s get back to the movie Se7en…
Love it!, and I recommend it to everyone. Just one word of caution. If you are to watch the movie.. please don’t watch it while eating. Seriously…
Not that it bothers me… blood gore and stuff have no effect on me… :3
But do enjoy it…
