Jen is one of the best, great edits, pays attention, thinks and doesn't blabber needlessly over the whole movie, she's interesting to watch especially with deep movies like this, she's not putting on a show centered on her but motivates the viewer to share the movie experience with her, that's what movie reactions should be about, some are so high on cafeine, feels like they're ranting on Tik Tok, I usually turn them off after a few minutes, I'm picky about movies, like to be entertained but don't watch fluff, when a title interests me, I'll try many reactions, but I often end up disapointed cause the reactor misses the whole point of the exercise, if the movie is obliterated by the reactor, what's the point? I'm not kissing butt here but many reactors could take notes, intelligent reactions by a person who actually knows what she's doing... How refeshing, another great one, thanks Jen!

However, Gwyneth’s prop head was eventually used in the film “Contagion”…..15 years later, lol

(IMHO) This is David Fincher's best work. Brilliant psychological thriller! I saw it in the theatre with my girlfriend in 1995 and our mouths were hanging open from start to finish (she may have been ogling Brad Pitt though 😆)! The film is relentless. You can tell how drawn in you were with this film- when John Doe was shooting at Mills, you were reacting as if he was actually shooting at you! It's great that the surprise of Kevin Spacey as the killer and of course the twist ending wasn't spoiled for you. "What's in the box!?!" is a pop culture catch phrase. For us back then it was a COMPLETE surprise! Another great thriller also by David Fincher is "Zodiac" from 2007 with Jake Gyllenhaal and Mark Ruffalo- based on the actual Zodiac Killer murders in the 1960s. Again and as always loved your reaction!

The main theme of Seven is the Apathy. It makes for such a dark, cynical view of the world and this is the prism through which Seven is cast. Somerset hates the city he has sworn to protect. All his years on the force have caused him to be cynical, jaded and apathetic. He says, "In a big city, minding your own business is a science". The idea is reinforced when he explains in rape prevention, the first thing women are taught, is to not yell "help". NO ONE responds to "HELP" but instead to yell "FIRE".
@Trip_Fontaine8 ай бұрын
@lethaldose2000 In a weird way, I actually find this movie hopeful and inspiring. At the end Somerset overcomes his apathy, as shown by his commentary on the Hemmingway quote and him saying "I'll be around." I see the message of the movie as saying that there's every reason in the world to lose all hope and be apathetic, but to be human is to resist that and keep fighting anyway.

You're more likely to be able to enjoy and appreciate much of the style and ambience in it, like say all those city noises you mentioned. There's just so many great details and style in here. In particular how sound and visuals play together. I think it shows that David Fincher started out directing a bunch of music videos. Anyway, great video, great reaction!

And unlike most "scary" movies, which rely on one-dimensional characters doing dumb ass things to propel the plot, Seven trust and respects the viewer by taking it's time to build up the characters and tension of the story. It's a masterclass of filmmaking and is as good today as it was in '95 when it first released!

You nailed it re: the violence factor - the only onscreen death is John Doe's execution (rightfully so). Fincher is truly a master craftsman and this is his masterpiece. In a word - uncompromising. The gritty neo noir look (nice catch on that too Jen) with relentless rain and gloom with nothing but dread from everyone only adds to the suspense ratcheting up with each kill. Fincher purposely did not name a specific city which gives its anonymity a purely universal feel - this happens everywhere in the US. Period. DynamicDuo Freeman and Pitt are great together (wish they'd collab again). I only found out recently that Rob Bottin - who did the astounding make-up for THE THING - created the Sloth visuals (!) Great job. PS: Boston is adorable.

Incredible reaction, Jen. Your channel is becoming one of my favorites on youtube. I suppose if you are looking for a fun, engaging, maybe even a little brainy experience, the internet isn't usually the first place you'll find it. I think your channel is a welcome exception to that rule. Yeah, "Seven" is a rough one. It's one hell of a film, though. It's one of the few thriller movies with a down ending, where story works both logically, and feels like the dark outcome is "earned." By that I mean the ending doesn't come out of nowhere. You know something is wrong right from the moment John Doe walks in the police station. And really, that unrelenting foreboding tone is there right from the beginning of the movie. It kinda starts your inner BS detector going, "Hmmm, this movie could wind up with a happy ending, but that just wouldn't feel right."

I'm glad you decided to watch this. If you have a fascination about this genre then you may enjoy some other movies: Zodiac, From Hell (about Jack the Ripper), possibly The Cell (Jennifer Lopez, but the concept is unique), and maybe a more recent move called The Raven (based on Edgar Allen Poe's works.... bit they are being staged in real life). None of these suggestions are "horror" movies I'd say, but fit in the psychological genre with sub-genres of suspense, terror, horror and even avant-garde for one of them. All worth a watch in my opinion. Loved Se7en. This move, The Silence of the Lambs, and From Hell arey favorite two in this genre. Great reaction to the movie!

I saw this one time only when it came out either in late 95 or early 96. I was in Thessaloniki, Greece enjoying a short two or three days of vacation, and it was the only movie in English (with Greek Subtitles) at the theater. A couple of buddies of mine and I walked in to see it. I remember walking out of the theater thinking "This is what these people now think America is like." I was disturbed much like you are. Chills.

Wow great reaction. This is one of the best horror/suspense/thriller movies of all time. It is a masterpiece of acting, writing and directing. Super intense and creepy. When I was a kid I use to watch scary movies in the day too.

This is how you act direct tell a story. This scene broke me. I came out of the movie with a new gauge for fear and creep factor. David Fincher color palette. Early Brad Pitt showed hints of the great actor he would become. Morgan Freeman showing his acting powah. Gwyneth Paltro was a actor in the movie. Great video. Watching kids watch the old great movies shows you how subverting expectations have nothing to do with insulting you. Show don’t tell. I need a couple vids before I commit.

Jen, So glad you liked it. It really is a masterpiece of movie making. It manipulates your emotions so well. I love watching people see it for the first time. I haven’t read rest of comments so sorry if I’m repeating, but no MVP, low key MVP or the worst? I know they are pretty obvious in this but still…. Your audience demands it! Ha ha

A great story is David Fincher talking about a test screening of this movie. First off, they lured people into the screening promoting the stars of LEGENDS OF THE FALL and DRIVING MISS DAISY. He said that after it finished a couple of librarian types walked past him, and one of them said to the other: "The people who made that movie should be killed..."

I'm new and catching up thru the horror and thriller reactions. 👍 I notice the modified "Safety Dance" moves you employ when startled. Not making fun! It would be a great themesong for the jump scenes. Will check out patreon- I like the idea of full movie watch! I like your dog! I was strictly a "big dog" guy til I started rescuing. My 1st placement was a male pug- dutch, 20lbs but thought he weighed 500. He was born on a horse ranch and one day tried to eat one... hence the rescue. Along that storyline- has anyone suggested the movie "300" w/Gerard Butler to you? Greece vs Persia... small takes on big... historical action drama. Done like a graphic novel. Pretty long... kinda violent... You'll make "those faces"! 🙈🙊🙉 Love channel! 🪂

I'd suggest another police movie you would likely enjoy is LA Confidential. Russell Crowe, Kevin Spacey and Guy Pearce play detectives based on their own Screen Personas (RC Violent, KS Oleaginous, GP Ultra Ambitious). It is set in 40's LA and has a great payoff over the name of a character. Very insightful review of Se7en. Even tho it was a hard watch your take on the movie was spot on. Look forward to your next review, TY Jen x
