educational.I fell into the atmosphere for a long time after watching the film.Before the beginning of it,we already had a deep impression on the title Se7en,the letter v being replaced by figure 7,which suggests the main content.There are seven Catholic death penalty,but a series of bizarre murders,seven of the victims were killed in this film.Somerset,full of detective e*perience,made efforts to figure out it,but it finally does not appear to be linked to the murder of a loss as to how many.After the fifth murder,who is the ne*t target Where No one can foresee.Police at a loss due,the killer turned himself in the miraculous,and this time the perpetrators of the seven sins is still two,I wonder if he will stop there He put his neck into the noose,why The perpetrators claim to the great masterpiece will be completed in the tight custody of the police,the murderer can do it again The outcome of people far beyond the e*pected.Se7en made it clear that the seven sins of Catholic Church:gluttony,greed,sloth,lust,pride,envy and wrath.Somerset is the host of senior homicide police,who will soon retire but Mills is a novice,to pay a high interest,标题三号，Times New Roman，加粗，居中-please voluntarily to the branch.Monday morning,a murder,assailants in the refrigerator after the word gluttony,Tuesday,is a lawyer at the scene with the word greed,a day,depending on the seven died.In the face of the case,Somerset earned the hearts of many livings in the city for a long time,he has a long habit of looking at things coldly,like this is not the case then,after consideration and stay to help Mills,Mills gas side Just,irritability impulse,mystify the killer on his election as a result of the last seven-wrath.John was killed by Mills to kill his wife,Tracy.Allow themselves to be envy,Mills became wrath and John won this game.Somerset can be retired,but looking at the Back of Mills,he was no words.That the community has always been in such a miserable,or simple naive is also a crime.Se7en,a dark,grisly,horrifying and intelligent thriller,may be too disturbing for many people.I imagine,although if you can bear to watch,it you will see film-making of a high order.It tells the story of two detectives-one ready to retire,the other at the start of his career-and their attempts to capture a perverted serial killer who is using the seven deadly sins as his scenario.As the movie opens,we meet Somerset(Morgan Freeman),a meticulous veteran cop who lives a lonely bachelors life in what looks like a furnished room.Then he meets Mills(Brad Pitt),an impulsive young cop who actually asked to be transferred into Somersets district.The two men investigate a particularly gruesome murder,in which a fat man was tied hand and feet and forced to eat himself to death.His crime was the crime of Gluttony.Soon Somerset and Mills are investigating equally inventive murders involving Greed,Sloth,Lust and the other deadly sins.In each case,the murder method is appropriate,and disgusting(one victim is forced to cut off a pound of his own flesh;another is tied to a bed for a year;a third,too proud of her beauty,is disfigured and then offered the choice of a call for help or sleeping pills).Somerset concludes that the killer,John Doe,is using his crimes to preach a sermon.The look of Se7en is crucial to its effect.This is a very dark film,the gloom often penetrated only by the flashlights of the detectives.Even when all the lights are turned on in the apartments of the victims,they cast only wan,hopeless pools-of light.What gives Seven its unsettling impact is the way the film connects deeply with each character,even the victims who are never seen alive.Freeman,Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow(Flesh and Bone)as Pitts wife are all in top form here and the audience comes to know them intimately-whatever affects them,affects the viewer equally.This is especially true of Pitt,whose character struggles to maintain his optimism in the face of the horrors he sees.Although the time of the story is the present,the set design suggests the 1940s;Gary Wissner,the art director,goes for dark blacks and browns,deep shadows,lights of deep yellow,and a lot of dark wood furniture.It rains almost all the time.The killer is played,by a well-known actor who is not named in the opening credits(the producers want to keep his identity a surprise),with a calm but e*plosive demeanor conspicuously reminiscent of Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs.In this jungle of gloom,Somerset and Mills tread with growing alarm.Somerset intuits that the killer is using books as the inspiration for his crimes,and studies Dante,Milton and Chaucer for hints.Mills settles for the Cliff Notes versions.A break in the case comes with Somersets sudden hunch that the killer might have a library card.But the corpses pile up,in cold fleshy detail,as disturbingly graphic as Ive seen in a commercial film.The only glimmers of life and hope come from Tracy(Gwyneth Paltrow),Mills wife.A movie like this is all style.The material by itself could have been handled in many ways,but the director,David Fincher,goes for evocative atmosphere,and the writer,Andrew Kevin Walker,writes dialogue that for Morgan Freeman,in particular,is wise,informed and poetic.(Anyone who spends a significant amount of time with me,he says,finds me disagreeable.)Eventually,it becomes clear that the killers sermon is being preached directly to the two policemen,and that in order to understand it,they may have to risk their lives and souls.Se7en is unique in one detail of its construction;it brings the killer onscreen with half an hour to go,and gives him a speaking role.Instead of being simply the quarry in a chase,he is revealed as a twisted but articulate-antagonist,who has devised a horrible plan for concluding his sermon.(The actor playing the killer is not identified by name in the ads or opening credits,and so I will leave his identity as another of his surprises.)Se7en is well-made in its details,and uncompromising in the way it presents the disturbing details of the crimes.It is certainly not for the young or the sensitive.Good as it is,it misses greatness by not quite finding the right way to end.All of the pieces are in place,all of the characters are in position,and then-I think the way the story ends is too easy.Satisfying,perhaps.But not worthy of what has gone before.What makes Se7en so e*cellent in my mind is how incredibly real it is.Theres the gritty feel to the film,and Fincher uses great shots and locations to effectively pass on his intentions to us.The film is one of the most suspenseful Ive ever seen,and that is also attributed to Fincher,not to mention a wonderful musical score.Andrew Walkers script is fantastic.Easily one of the best of all time.Its such a simple concept,but the creation of the characters and the depth and development of each one is one truly remarkable quality of the script.The best quality of course,is the unpredictable,unorthodo*,and scary ending that will make your stomach sink like a weight.The cinematography and editing are brilliant as the film is fluid and seamless.Technically,this film is perfect.Well,anyone whos ever said Brad Pitt is for show obviously hasnt seen this or Fight Club.Hes wonderful as the motivated,yet rash and sarcastic David Mills.Its a great character arc,and Pitt plays the comple*character with heart and ease.Morgan Freeman.what can you sayHes Morgan Freeman,so hes e*cellent.Once again,a well written character that the actor takes and makes his own.Freeman is magnificent again.Of course,our two detectives are great,but the true standing out of the film is the actor who plays the killer,whose inclusion in the film was kept secret until the day of release.Dont worry,I havent spoiled anything.He gives a magnificent,yet haunting and disturbing performance that will stick with you for day after day.It is one of the best villainous performances of all time.The final confrontation is spectacular because of him.All in all,Se7en is a must-seeing if you are a movie fan.Its one of the best-films Ive ever seen,and youd be a fool to miss this classic.As terrifying as it is suspenseful,Se7en is a thriller that will stick with you,an e*perience youll never forget.I cannot recommend this movie more.
