Well done surviving this, Addie! You saying you hadn't realised how dark this movie was reminded me of a brilliant story David Fincher has told about this movie. He says when the studio went to get people in for test screenings, they advertised it as starring "'Morgan Freeman from Driving Miss Daisy" and "Brat Pitt from Legends of the Fall", and they ended up with a room full of sweet middle aged ladies expecting a gentle buddy drama, and they got this! Best or worst test screening ever.

Since that's how a lot of people choose which movies to see that's a pretty good way to get an idea of the wider reception it will get. If I had a dollar for every time someone told me they didn't like an indie movie that had a big star and that the only reason they went to see it was the lead I'd be very well off.

"What's in the box?" Fun Fact: When filming the "sloth" victim scene, the SWAT officers were NOT told that the victim was still alive. When the victim coughs and scares the SWAT officers, that reaction is real. Location Location Fact: The diner that Somerset (Morgan Freeman) and Tracy (Gwyneth Paltrow) meet at is the same diner that Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke meet at in Training Day (2001). In fact, they meet in the same booth. It's the Quality Coffee Shop in downtown LA. Standing Together Fact: The ending in the movie is the ending in the original draft of the screenplay that the actors and director had signed on to. Producer Arnold Kopelson had it re-written, and the ending was changed to John Doe (Kevin Spacey) kidnapping Tracy (Gwyneth Paltrow), with Mills and Somerset racing to save her life. When David Fincher, Brad Pitt, and Morgan Freeman read the new ending, they all demanded that the original ending be put back in or they wouldn't do the movie. Art Over Ego Fact: The producers intended that Kevin Spacey should receive top billing at the start of the movie, but he insisted that his name not appear in the opening credits, so as to surprise the audience with the identity of the killer. To compensate, he is listed twice in the closing credits, once before the credits start rolling and once in the rolling credits in order of appearance. Another advantage from Spacey's point of view, as he saw it, was that he was excluded from the film's marketing during its release, meaning he didn't have to make any public appearances or do any interviews.

Morgan Freeman laughing in-character with Mills and Tracy was probably the most wholesome scene in this movie 💫 Congratulations on surviving Se7en 👏 This is the kind of movie that you only need to watch once, and yet it'll leave a lasting impact on your mind... so well made! And the best part about it imo is that they didn't even show the murders happening on screen, they just showed the aftermath and left it to your imagination as to how the murder would've happened... adding even more to the terrifying aspect of it... As a matter of fact, the script with THIS ending was delivered by mistake to director David Fincher, and that whole script piqued his interest so much, that when it came to the ending, he, Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, and Kevin Spacey had to basically fight with the studio executives to keep this ending in the movie and not change it... and the rest is history... On his own wishes, Kevin Spacey wasn't revealed in the opening credits of the movie, as he'd already kind of blown up before Se7en, and he thought that if he recieved credit in the opening credits, the audience would knlw that the murderer they're looking for is gotta be him, very smart move I'd say... That reveal wouldn't have been as impactful the other way imo... And wow his acting skills! Only present for 20 minutes in the movie and still leaves such an impact with his line delivery and his character. If you're interested to watch more David Fincher films... I'd suggest Fight Club and Gone Girl... Peace! ✌

I think something that makes it even more disturbing is the fact that the woman wasn't even necessarily guilty of being lustful. A lot of sex workers are doing it to make money, not because they actually are horny and just wanting to bang every man that comes their way. The man was the one who was definitely guilty of lust, otherwise he wouldn't be paying for a sex worker. Yet he is the one who survives. Just another hole in John Doe's ideology that reveals the hatred he uses to justify his actions.

@@xaviersandoval1765 Whole rationale of the Lust killing is to punish the guy who buys a prostitute's services by using the body of the prostitute in an equally callous way as he does. It has a very twisted logic, but a logic nonetheless; in both murder and lust a person uses other people as tools for one's own gratification.

It seems to me that the prostitute was definitely meant to be the primary victim, especially considering the stalking he did to find the woman, yet he didn't seem to follow the man at all, because he had to ask him if he was married.

The genius of this movie is that it’s not gory at all. After watching it, you think it was gory; but it isn’t. All of the murders take place off screen (except the last one). We see some photographs of the murders. We see them talking about the murders. But we don’t see the murders and the gore. Instead, it’s left to stew in our imagination, which makes it much worse and horrifying. A true masterpiece!

The Batman was heavily inspired by Seven. You can tell Paul Dano took some cues from Kevin Spacey when playing the Riddler and Matt Reeves did a great job of recreating that Fincher vibe of uneasy dread surrounding the murders and cat & mouse game between Batman and Riddler, including the part where Riddler let himself be caught so he could profess his admiration to Batman.

In a movie full of chills, the biggest chil shot is the camera angle on Kevin Spacey in the back of the car. Carefully positioned so that his mouth and eyes are framed by the fires separating the seats, it concentrates our eyes on the two most emotive parts of the face. Similarly the reverse angle does the same thing on Brad Pitt. The last 2 bodies were of course Pitt's wife and Spacey himself, Wrath and Envy. Fincher at his best. Proud of you Addie - this one helps expand your movie horizons.

One of the greatest endings of any movie: John Doe as Envy, Det. Mills as Wrath. Fantastic writing. I feel so bad for Detective Mills. The only thing that seemed to make him truly happy was his little family (including "the kids", the dogs). I think it would be hard for anybody to be faced with such horrific information about someone you loved so much AND to be taunted about it, to not want to kill the person who did it in that moment. Even if you didn't have a rage problem already (like Mills did), you might become so blinded by it that you would have no idea what you were capable of doing. I think it's important for us to always be aware that there exists inside of every one of us the potential to let our emotions take over, and to learn multiple skills to cope with those emotions. That way, when something emotionally disturbing happens in our lives, we have easy access to that peaceful, calm space we've built for ourselves. Hypnotherapy works wonders for creating that "center". If you can't access hypnotherapy, practicing meditation and prayer on a daily basis can really help you find a place of tranquility that you can always tap into so you can think more clearly and prevent yourself from engaging in any behaviors you may regret later. ❤

Let's give Addie a round of applause for surviving Se7en (1995). 👏👏 Excellent reaction. This is one of my favorite David Fincher movies, alongside Fight Club (1999) & Panic Room (2002), please watch those as well. I totally agree with you that this movie was so well done because nobody expected that twist ending. I'm so glad that you were able to handle this movie, despite its disturbingly dark nature. Brad Pitt was right, "No fluff, nothing light here." BTW, the uneasiness you felt in the music of the opening credits comes courtesy of Nine Inch Nails. And IMO, I would definitely rewatch this movie.

Another very disturbingly good psychological thriller is The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) with Matt Damon, Jude Law and Gwyneth Pattrow again. An Oscar nominated film that no one reacts to for some reason, not even heard of but it is brilliant and again, disturbing. Gone Girl (2014) also directed by David Fincher fits into that well made but disturbing category too. I just can’t bring myself to watch it again but it sticks with you.

Interestingly, it doesn't even much matter what happens to Mills legally after this. He'll definitely never be a cop again. And whether he goes to jail or not - he'll be a hollowed out shell of his former self for the rest of his life. John Doe's "work" was completed. It's also strongly hinted that Somerset is no longer retiring at the end, saying that he'll continue to be around, and agreeing with the quote that the world is worth fighting for. Doe's entire mission was to jar the world into steering out of evil, and Somerset decision to continue fighting crime is the first direct result of that. John Doe's mission accomplished. Incredible movie.

Mills would certainly get off with temporary insanity and diminished responsibility. This is actually a film about hope. Not for David Mills or Tracy who are consumed utterly, but for Somerset. We are introduced to Somerset, a very fastidious, academic but beat down detective on his last week of service. Somerset is the very face of apathy, being on the front line facing off against the city’s constant angry brutality throughout his daily working life. The very city pulses with malevolent angst of which Somerset can only escape into sleep with the aid of the calming tick-tick-tick of a metronome each night. The first murder scene is discovered, and thrown into the mix is the young transferred detective, the “hotshot” Mills. Mills couldn’t be more different from Somerset, with his dishevelled appearance, foul mouth and cocky devil may care attitude. Somerset immediately takes Mills to task, in what he believes is a service to try and insulate Mills from the horror that his city will undoubtedly dump on him. To whit Mills objects passionately to ; Mills - The point is that you're not quitting because you believe these things you say. You want to believe them because you're quitting. And you want me to agree with you and say "You're right, it's all f*d up. It's a mess. We should all go live in a log cabin." But I won't. I won't say that. I don't agree with you. I do not. I can't. Mills’ passion, his youthful optimistic and desperate hope tears through Somerset’s apathy like a wrecking ball. The night of this conversation with Mills, Somerset then smashes his metronome against the wall in righteous rage. He is awoken, angry, energised and engaged back fully with his world. And its not just Mills, it’s Somerset’s personal engagement through the film with Mills’ lovely wife Tracy. You can see as Somerset gets charmingly engaged into the young couple’s lives that he is slightly jealous of their youth, their promise, and he is absolutely terrified of what his city is going to do these “kids”. And it turns out that Somerset was right. The city eats them both up whole, the “every-man” killer John Doe choosing Mills and his wife as his sixth and seventh victims. But Somerset has been redeemed, re-awoken. He is asked where he’ll be ? “I’ll be around.”

I went to see "Se7en" opening weekend. I got to work on Monday night and one of the ladies I worked with told me asked me if I'd seen it. I told her I had. She told me she'd seen it, but one thing had her puzzled. She then asked me, "What was in the box?" I stared at her, "You're kidding, right?" I asked. She told me that no, she had no idea what was supposed to be in the box. I told her, "Detective Mill's wife's head". She furrowed her brow and asked me how I got that? I had to explain the end of the movie to her and eventually she understood why Mill's shot Doe. And I loved your reactions, especially after you said "The guys obviously dead and he's not a zombie but I keep expecting him to jump up"... and suddenly HE JUMPS UP!!!!!! OH!!!! I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF AT YOU!!!!! You gave me the best laugh I've had in a LONG time!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

If you want to know what happens to Mills after this movie, there's a fan theory that Se7en is set in Batman's Gotham City and Mills goes on to become Heath Ledger's Joker from the Dark Knight movie. It's an interesting idea, although personally I don't buy it.

After your jumpy Predator reaction, I was really looking forward to Sloth, and you even predicted it. This was one of two movies where I felt I had gone through a ringer when I left the theatre. The other one was Schindler‘s List. I rewatch it occasionally, because it is so well-made, but I have to be in the right mood. Kevin Spacey is controversial at best now, but this performance was truly unhinged. IIRC, it was his idea to keep his name off the credits in the beginning, otherwise the audience would guess who plays the perpetrator, because he hasn‘t shown up yet. As compensation, his name is listed first in the end credits. This movie also shows the versatility of composer Howard Shore, because this score is nothing like his later Lord of the Rings soundtracks.

Saw this in the theater back in the day. When Summerset says "John Doe has the upper hand" the theater was so silent you could hear a pin drop. Heading home, my gf at the time said "Wait... Wraith. Wraith is the only sin that lives while someone else died." I know it seems obvious, but some of us were almost in a state of shock from the movie at the time.

Kevin Spacey stolle everyshot he was in. He sitting in the backseat of a cop car and is talking calmly and it is so damn tense and you are on the very edge! And then he loses his cool just a little when they call his victims "innocent". But so captivating, not only him but the entire movie as you said. As you stated it is a very dark movie but you really don't see anything, they do a great job of not showing us the gross stuff but we still get to ride along. Addie most people agree with you in "I will only see this movie once", I am not sure what kind of mood one would have to be in to want to see it a second time, I do love watching people see it for their first time, but yeah.... Ty for a great reaction and for sticking with it.
