"what's in the box?" is such a classic line. i saw this in the theater, sitting in the front row b/c it was so packed. When Sloth guy breathed, my friend jumped out of the chair and ended up on the floor going "OMG, OMG".

[@BDogg2023]

This script went around Hollywood for years because no one wanted to make it into a film. It was known as “the head in the box” script. Saw this opening night at the Mann Chinese Theater on Hollywood Blvd, 500+ people, had to stand in the back the whole movie. No one left. I’ve heard other people mention seeing this in theaters and half the crowd walking out.

[@Rue_Barree]

Interesting note: Morgan Freeman & Brad Pitt didn't know the Sloth victim was a real actor under prosthetics, they thought it was a dummy. So when the victim coughs, that's actual terror on Freeman & Pitt's faces.

[@sabrinaestrada3590]

Wow

[@artvandelay3840]

According to Fincher, the guy was a very skinny actor, and when he met with Fincher to appear in the film, Fincher joked that maybe he could lose some more weight when it was time to film. The guy thought he was serious, and actually lost even more weight for the role.

[@sharonpopolow6874]

Even though this film is highly impossible, I give the writer and diector a lot of leeway with it because Seven serves as a great and creative allegory for the 7 cardinal sins and how they can manifest themselves in modern days. It's also a great conversation starter or a way to open people up to self-examination. All humans are sinners, and our sins fall into categories. I doubt that more than a handful of people have ALL 7 sins, and I doubt that more than a handful possess ONLY 1 sin. When I use a term sinless, what I mean is that no 1 sin shows itself in an obvious and detrimental way, but ALL people show sin at some time or another or have sinful thoughts. My sins are wrath, sloth, and greed. Fortunately, there are laws and social consequences that keep my anger and negativity in check at least in speech and action, but my thoughts... holy crap I'm an angry woman.

[@Rmlohner]

When the film was released, the studio went to tremendous lengths to keep secret that Kevin Spacey was playing the killer, to the point of one commercial including the scene where he calls the detectives, with another actor's voice dubbed in. He'd just started becoming recognized as a talent to keep an eye on after The Usual Suspects, though of course, these days seeing him in this role hits hard for a quite different reason.

And why he intruded into Mill's apartment and killed his wife. He was goading people into who he wanted to represent "Wrath". And he found that in Mills.

Very interesting discussion on gluttony. In the olden days, the idea of gluttony and overindulging in food would often mean that others would have to go without, which is why it's a sin. All the sins are perversions of love: gluttony, lust and greed coming from excessive love; sloth is the absence of love; and wrath (revenge), envy and pride result in the love of seeing harm done to other people.

[@cfwalker]

I've never thought about it that way, very interesting!

[@clonexx]

Brad Pitt’s characters arm being in a sling and injured wasn’t part of the original script. During the scene where Pitt is chasing Spacey through the streets, Brad Pitt accidentally slipped and put his arm through the windshield of a car, severely injuring himself. From that point on, he had to wear a cast and sling, so they wrote it into the script that his arm was hurt.

[@PhantomFilmAustralia]

The scenes before Mills fell off the fire escape but after Pitt injured himself, he wears his watch over his cuff to help cover the cast under his sleeve.

After the masked teen-slasher killers were overused thoughout the 80s, in the 90s psychological crime thrillers were the thing. The Silence of the Lambs & Se7ven became the classics but there are some more really good ones out there, in addition to some okay ones and some not so good. I always liked CopyCat starring Sigourney Weaver. Saw it as a double feature with 12 Monkeys, it was the last time we were at a drive-in.

[@Ivy94F]

I remember seeing both of those in the theatre as well. You’re so right. The days of the supernatural killer or ghost killers was over and it was all about psycho serial killers.

Also Usual Suspects came up after Se7en. Kevin Spacey got his role in Usual Suspects because of the success of Se7en. Finally it is those 2 movies that made Kevin Spacey in top pay actor in Hollywood. Im 47 years old today, and i would like to say Bravo to both of you, cause when i saw the movie in theater i really really forgot about his wife and couldn't predict the twist. To this day Se7en is still the movie that stroke me for his final twist. I was shocked for days. Something you 2 didn't talk about or perhaps didn't realize is that the bad guy WON at the end...

Fun Fact: Morgan Freeman's character was originally offered to Denzel Washington. Denzel turned it down because the movie was too dark for him.

The role of Somerset was offered to Al Pacino, Gene Hackman, and Robert Duvall. Also found out: someone considered to play John Doe was R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe.

I was too young when I saw this and the outcome left a scar on my psyche, so I've honestly never watched it again. It's impossible to forget. Thanks for the cool video.

[@jwalker2276]

So glad you two did this movie reaction. Great movie! I’m trying to get my sister to watch cause it’s so great! I’m pretty sure you enjoyed it!

[@iamjamesmix]

Reaction was fun, but the talk you two had after the film was great. The self reflection viewers have after watching this movie is overlooked. For me, mine was Envy. I never thought of myself as envious to any extent but after watching this flick for the first time, I did realize I can definitely be the victim of Envy.

[@deedeestardust2535]

Yes!! Se7en!! What a classic! The sloth victim still hunts me and that ending… man… For years I wanted to see inside the box but Brad’s face says it all… and that speech of John Doe ummm got me thinking that he actually has a point as horrible as it sounds; Brad, Morgan and David Fincher at their best! Awesome reaction! 👍🏼

[@HobGungan]

I actually have a mandella effect of the eyes peering over the top of the box (or rather, the interior shot at an angle where it would kind of look like that), and I'm glad that's not actually in the movie.

[@marianne5055]

Im pretty sure Ive heard Gwyneth say in an interview that she kept her prop head. So they must have intended on showing it in the movie. Maybe it got cut for censorship or maybe David Fincher thought it would work better tension wise to not show.

[@21stcenturyhiphop]

They actually do show what's in the box, but it's a split second frame/ shot. It happens right before Mills fires his weapon.

[@swacfan100]

I remember we used to have movie night with the family, Seven was one of those movies . So captivating and eerie, Brad and Morgan were so good. The end was so good but SOOO messed up and sad. When Kevin Spacey was revealed, he wasnt a house hold name then , though his face was familiar.

"What's in the box" 😯

[@oscarrios6048]

This movie has my favorite opening and ending credit songs. Opening with Nine Inch Nails “closer (precursor)” and ending with David Bowie’s “Hearts Filthy Lesson”

[@lindaisyoutubing]

If you haven’t watched it, I highly recommend the movie Fallen (1998) with Denzel Washington and John Goodman.

[@kevaunmitchell1316]

Lmao why is curtis making me laugh and the movie is just called seven 😂😂😂

[@sharonpopolow6874]

John Doe didn't SPARE David Mills at any point in the film. He had him pegged as Anger/Wrath quite some time ago before he held that gun to him. Remember, this action Doe took started a year ago before the start of the movie (physically at least, who the heck knows when he started planning it). He kept Mills alive to complete his allegorical masterpiece which was at that point missing lust, pride, envy, and wrath. It's mind-boggling how much detail went into this story. Of course this story is absolutely impossible because of all the variables, but nonetheless I love it all the same.

[@charlesnyckd]

Fun fact: Denzel Washington turned down the role of Mills, which went to Brad Pitt. He has since deeply regretted it. Also, the studio wanted a different ending. Pitt & Freeman said “hell no,” and both threatened to walk if the studio changed it. 1995 was a huge year for crime thrillers. This stood out.

[@renacaseywilhelm]

Sooooo psyched for your reaction to this!!! one of the best thriller movies ever!

[@renacaseywilhelm]

Childhood obesity exists because kids are not outside & playing. They are inside, or sitting playing their video games. Almost zero physical activity. If there is 1 or 2 parents at home, chances are they are working. Food is prepared as conveniently as possible, filled with sugar & syrups. Society contributes but nutrition and physical activity absolutely starts in the home.

Lengthy read but fascinating analysis of the film's themes: Apathy is the biggest theme of the film. Many discussions within the film allude to it. Aside from the obvious apathy speech Somerset (Morgan Freeman) gives to Mills (Brad Pitt) in the bar, but also when Somerset explains how the first thing women are taught in rape prevention class is to not yell "help" because no one responds to "help" but instead to yell "fire" (as Somerset put it "in a big city, minding your own business is a science"). People in big cities are apathetic to any one stranger's individual suffering but a fire can spread to multiple buildings which affects everyone, which is why people respond to "fire". Throughout the film, Somerset repeatedly mentions how much he hates the city. All his years on the force has caused him to be cynical, jaded and apathetic. Particular example: all the noise, police sirens, screaming and crime that he hears outside his apartment window keeps him up at night which is why he uses a metronome, to drown out the noise. He has become apathetic to the crime going on just outside his place-- the metronome is symbolism for Somerset's apathy. Also, note, right after Mills denounces Somerset's apathy speech in the bar ("I don't think you're quitting because you believe in the things you say, I think you want to believe them because you're quitting"), Somerset goes home that night and destroys the metronome. Mills's words really affected him causing Somerset to care at least a little bit again, which is why he destroyed the metronome (i.e. his apathy). And John Doe's words during the car ride "Only in a world this shitty can we say these were innocent people. We see a deadly sin on every street corner and we tolerate it. We tolerate morning, noon and night." APATHY. Also, many characters, even minor ones, are super judgmental and have little sympathy for people's suffering. Like when the SWAT team raids the apartment of the mummified sloth victim tied to the bed, the lead SWAT cop (played by Bob from "Office Space") says to him "you got what you deserved"-- but then when he's alive and taken to the hospital, the doctor says "he's experienced about as much pain and suffering as anyone I've encountered... and he still has Hell to look forward to." To me, it was always such a bizarre thing for a doctor to say given their Hippocratic oath and their duty to care but ya know... APATHY. THE LAWYERS: The lawyer that's punished for greed, as John Doe put it "this is a man who dedicated his life to making money by lying with every breath he could muster to keeping murderers and rapists off the streets." That lawyer didn't care about justice or morality. Also, John Doe's lawyer has virtually no emotion while he's blackmailing the cops with John Doe's plea bargain. Either they agree and John Doe pleads guilty or if they don't agree, John Doe will plead insanity. The lawyer says "with the extreme nature of these crimes, I could easily get him off with such a plea." The lawyer seems quite apathetic to justice and the victims of the case while he, as Mills puts it, sits there in his $3000 suit (indicating he's much like the slain greedy lawyer). He also says to them "if you don't agree to my client's specific conditions, these two bodies will never be found" to which the black district attorney (Richard Roundtree) retorts "at this point, I'm inclined to let them rot" -- APATHY. Also the lawyer in the same scene: "My client would like to remind you that two more people are dead. The press would have a field day if the police didn't seem to concerned about finding them and giving them a proper burial." THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS: The proprietor of the whorehouse is questioned by Mills in the glass interrogation room. Mills asks him "you didn't see anything strange or suspicious, anyone with a package under their arm?" He responds with "everybody coming in there has got a package under their arm, some people have suitcases full of stuff". The man "sees nothing" and questions nothing. Mills then asks him "do you like your job, the things you see?" To which he responds, "No, but that's life, isn't it?". He doesn't like it, but he tolerates it because it's a living. APATHY. Also the owner of the S&M leather shop who designed the knife strap-on costume is asked disgustedly by Somerset "you actually made this for him?" The owner replies "yea, so what, I made weirder shit than this." APATHY This might be reading too much into it but the pizza shop where they meet the FBI agent with the library files. Somerset mentions that the pizza shop must have had "at least 50 health violations last inspection". They clearly don't care about standards and safety. APATHY. And for some reason, the city didn't even shut them down. Did the health dept simply tolerate it? More apathy?? Also, the real estate agent that sold the "subway" apartment to Mills and his wife. The man was a scumbag who only cared about selling the place and obviously didn't care about their discomfort. APATHY. And also, the sloth victim's landlord was just happy that the rent was always paid on time and that there were no complaints from or about that tenant. He never bothered to ever check up on him. APATHY. DETECTIVE MILLS: Also notice Mills is the only character that "cares" in the film. As Somerset sarcastically asks him, "you want to be a hero and you're gonna make a difference?" Mills, the only character who supposedly "cares" gets punished the most in the film; his whole world gets turned upside down by the end. Mills, the man and his philosophy on life, is destroyed-- and he will undoubtedly become as jaded and cynical as Somerset. Mills's own words to John Doe in the car, "I don't see you as a Messiah. After 2 months, no one will remember this. No one will care. You're a movie of the week, you're a fucking T-shirt at best." Also, when Mills tells the story of when he fired his gun in the line of duty, he remembers how he felt during the incident but can't remember the name of his fellow cop that was shot-- this was after he witnessed the first few murders. I think this was supposed to signify the small but subtle beginning of the erosion of Mill's sympathy. But I could just be looking too much into it. Also, again, note at the end of the film when Mills is put into the back of the police cruiser, the captain (Lee Ermey) says to Somerset "don't worry, we'll take care of him"-- which pretty much means the department will cover up the incident. Even though Mills murdered a suspect, the captain and the rest of the police department is APATHETIC to his crime (Mills's sin of wrath will go unpunished). The film is just swimming with apathetic characters and I'm sure there's other examples that I haven't mentioned. But goddamn, what a script! It seems like no line of dialogue or detail is accidental or wasted. It all serves a purpose and contributes to the story's themes.The film is almost sickening and revolting given the themes and how effective it is at conveying them; the screenplay is astonishingly literary. It's a brilliantly written masterpiece. How it didn't get nominated at the Oscars is baffling. I highly recommend watching this video which explores the film in greater detail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3y2dZaqeJeiY9U

I agree with you 99.99% on this... except for one little difference.... when I see "

[@leon4000]

It also makes you think about the people who run law enforcement, medicine and heatlh, and etc. in real life. Are they doing what they choose in their careers out of passion and care? Or are they doing this for something else that's not even positive. If there's one lesson I've learned is that you can't better yourself or even the world by being apathetic, less sympathetic and empathetic, and hateful. People get their rears kicked or worse, a lot of people somewhere can tell stories. But you can't help yourself if you kick yourself down and bring others with you just because life has shown you people that for some messed up reason, they make your life not look so good and that's just me going easy on this paragraph.

[@joshwright7229]

Borderlands 2 has my favorite Easter egg in a video game ever. At a point in the game you can search small cardboard boxes around the zone and one randomly will have a gun in it. That guns name "Gwen's Head".

[@louboy9731]

It's crazy. I have this movie on 📼, 📀, and digital. I love this movie. What's in the box?? Priceless!!

[@SunshineNWhisky]

YESSSSSS now y'all know about "What's in the Box"!!!!!!! Such a great mind eff this one

[@moonchild8422]

I have really been enjoying yalls reactions!!! I recommend The Life of David Gale! It was actually a very underrated film in my opinion. Kevin Spacey is a shit person but damn a great actor which sucks. But for real watch David Gale!

[@worthalook4870]

Awesome thriller. You should check out the movie “Identity” John Cusack - another good thriller 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@kurtzbomb]

I’ve seen this movie countless times and I still feel the same stress at the ending.

[@jonnyyen7169]

Bro! Right on! If you're starting a rebuilding period in your life that's great! I started "working out" a few months ago and I feel so much better in every way. Keep moving in this direction and you too will see the difference in the quality of your life. Bravo!
