SEVEN (1995) Movie Reaction

This movie stays with you for a few days after the first viewing. It's up there with Silence of the Lambs for me. Such a dark dark thriller

[@RGMyers24]

All of David Fincher's films (and series) are worth seeing. This one, Zodiac and Fight club are my favourites.

[@hashshashiin.forsī]

And mindhunter

[@nathanpapp432]

David Fincher, Paul Thomas Anderson, and the Coen Brothers are the best modern directors.

You immediately see where the conflict comes from. We have the classic older and wiser vs the young and proud

The opening song is “Closer Precursor” by Nine Inch Nails. The alternate ending that’s on the special edition but was only storyboard and not shot, was Somerset shoots John Doe.

[@LampreyKisses]

technically it was a musically folded-over version of that remix, but it's one of my favorite songs.

[@mahliz]

Kevin Spacey command every scene he is in, sure it is also directed that way with the camera angels etc but damn that performance from all three really. Kevin is so damn scary and he is so calm the entire time, usually it is when people are furios that they are scary.

[@timothystrawn1844]

This movie scared the shit out of me as a kid. This came out when I was in the six grade and the reason why it scares me is because it’s a horror movie, but it happens in real life.

[@cynicnd]

My generation tended to not like Brad Pitt when this movie came out. All of our girlfriends had a huge crush on him and we were all young and insecure. Haha. As an adult, his acting in that final scene is absolutely incredible. The range of conflicting emotions he plays in just a few seconds is amazing.

[@satyadasgumbyji8956]

Just commented same! Pitt for this & excellent "12 Monkeys" was still a one-trick pony here! May have actually learned to act like Depp did, but here the equivalent of Pamela Anderson on Baywatch for dudes: air-headed eye-candy making bank! Talent need not apply!😅

[@robling1937]

I definitely had a love hate relationship with Brad Pitt when I was younger. I was not a good looking dude and very insecure about that, so Brad Pitt definitely made me inanely envious and self conscience. but then on the other side, I absolutely loved him in this and then Fight Club, so I also had a lot of respect for his skill. Very confusing time, likely due to the raging hormones. Glad I'm more self assured and can just enjoy his work instead of getting all frazzled.

[@steveballzack1409]

That's funny because I looked like Brad Pitt and got tons of pussy.

[@o0pinkdino0o]

David Fincher also created Mindhunter which is about the formation of the FBI Behavioural Sciences Unit (think Silence of the Lambs) where agents went to real world serial killers and built their first profiles. Grim as heck, but compelling viewing and appanently returning for season 3.

The scene where they find the victim, Sloth, tied to the bed, still alive after a year, was on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments. The twist ending is one of the most shocking and unforgettable in film history.

Seemingly everyone thinks that this movie takes place in New York, but they didn't do anything to make Los Angeles look different except have a lot of rain.

[@TheNeonRabbit]

I can't see Brad Pitt without thinking "What's in the box?"

[@MrGrifft]

16:40 They are in "Quality Cafe", which has it's own wiki page. It was in LA. It's kind of an easter egg at this point.

[@robertmaez6706]

All right!!! I got to see the little baby"s hand WOOOO!

[@eviereacts]

Weeeee🫶🏻

[@robling1937]

I think Somerset's advice to Tracy is this (in not quite as eloquent language as his): you have two choices tracy. You can have this child and raise him in this horrible area/city, or you can abort the child. If you have the child, spoil the hell out of it not just with gifts, but with love. If you decide not to have the baby, then never tell your husband you were even pregnant. Not saying I agree with this advice, but it seems to fit his character and his experiences.

[@eviereacts]

I could see why he would say that as well!

[@hussmoosbally8929]

Great reaction. The city name is never mentioned, but it is basically purgatory.

[@MrSporkster]

This was the good Gwyneth Paltrow, before she went weird.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

One of the best closing lines to a movie that I can remember: "Ernest Hemingway once wrote: 'The world is a fine place, and worth fighting for.' I agree with the second part." Oof.

[@VirusSI]

Mills would obviously be indicted. However his sentence would most likely be heavily reduced due to the circumstances. It wouldn't be hard for his defense to prove that his rational thinking ability was heavily impaired at that moment.

[@clarkness77]

It's second degree murder easily. Definitely went away for awhile

[@sca88]

They wanted to create a city that was cross between New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Detroit.

[@jamin7474]

it has one funny part that i still laugh at...its where they arrive at the setting of the final scene when they first get out of the car and mills says "whatcha got?" then sommerset says "Dead dog" and the killer says "I didn't do that"

[@annefox926]

I remember watching this in the theater & thinking at each crime scene, turn on some lights !How it was filmed added so much to the creep of it. I believe they are in Chicago- they have elevated trains rather than subways, so the trains that run even with apartment ( & other) buildings all day & all night & they definitely shake the place.

[@SchulzEricT]

I'm not typically big on directors, I mostly just like what I like. But Fincher is one of the few I turn out for; both "Fight Club" and "Se7en" are incredible, iconic movies, and although I'll probably never watch it again, "The Social Network" is fantastic as well. And it's a shame he never got to finish The Millennium trilogy; the turn at the end of the trial in "The Girl Who Played With Fire" is among the best I've ever read and I'd've loved to have seen what Fincher did with it. (Edgar Wright is maybe the other standout director, with "Hot Fuzz" and "Scott Pilgrim vs the World" among my favorite comedies of all-time." His movies aren't just funny, they're directed with a sense of fun and style that sets them apart.)

[@SchulzEricT]

ALSO... you say the movie is gross, but like... I love how it's really unsettling at times (the "sloth" victim still being alive is quite the jump-scare, and the "lust" killing is creepy af) but it's not remotely graphic. Really impressive, to walk that line.

[@vov.7397]

If you haven't seen Zodiac, give it a shot. Personally, I think it might be his best. Fincher is always worth a watch.

[@christopherschreiber5805]

THE GAME is fantastic as well. Probably my favorite Fincher ending.

[@nsasupporter7557]

Se7en might be an iconic movie, but I didn’t care for it honestly. You might disagree with this, but I thought Copycat was a much better thriller

[@kauhalephinfan2304]

It’s interesting to see people say “I would kill him, I would”. And still jump when Mills pulls the trigger. Good reaction, very honest.

[@michellecrocker2485]

Yup. Mills is a cliff notes guy

[@DSWilkes]

Although they never mentioned it in the movie I think it's a safe bet to assume that the city setting was Seattle Washington. Seattle is known for it's copious amount of rainfall. Although the city doesn't rank within the top 30 of the US's wettest cities, a lot that are ranked higher are aided in totals by the Hurricane season. The west coast rarely deals with Hurricanes....

[@michellecrocker2485]

Something tells me that it’s the baby that really sent mills off the edge. It’s bad enough that Jon doe took his wife from him but also that he was robbed of becoming a father really intensified his grief and anger enough to shoot that SOB

[@thseed7]

Morgan Freeman's closing line in this film is chilling.

[@srrizo69]

Awww the babyyy!!!

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

This movie is a good de facto prequel to the movies where Morgan Freeman played Detective Alex Cross. (Kiss The Girls, Along Came A Spider)

Rumor has it David lynch was tired of WB asking him to direct a Batman movie so he made a real time simulation of what it would look like if morgan’s freeman were Batman , Brad Pitt were robin & kevin spacey was the joker

[@lanolinlight]

I clicked on this because it looked like Gwyneth Paltrow was doing the reaction.

[@OneArmedRetroGamer]

Kiss the girls and copycat have a similar vibe

[@michaelwatson266]

I think most people were more positive when they were younger. Thought people were generally good. The world was generally a good place. But life has a way of wearing you down. Those views inevitably become more and more jaded. Cynical. It becomes harder to see the good.

[@unclebounce1495]

Life is generally good. Becoming cynical isn't becoming more rational, it's becoming scarred and more irrational. 99 times out of 100, a stranger will help you if you're in peril and not be a bestial predator. but that 1, to the irrational anti-humanist, stands out more than the 99 people doing good and helping others on a routine basis. then they focus on the bad and the drink the media kool aid by watching the news. confirmation bias and irrational skepticism.

[@gallien]

I watched this in the movies when it came out... when you hear the chopper fly over right at the end when Morgan Freeman says the last line.... no one spoke or moved for 10mins. We all just sat there and took it in. Never to this day had a movie provoked a reaction like this again.

[@davejacobs69dj]

Horsemen with Dennis Quaid is a great thriller also

[@bigdream_dreambig]

[@cudnovati_]

This was great. Your reaction is the closest to what i experienced in the theater almost 30 years ago. Other "reactors" are either completely obsessed with guessing what is in the box thus lessening the impact of the ending, or just faking it because they´ve seen so many pop culture references that i´m sure they had to know. anyway, thank you!

David Fincher movies are next level. check out 'The Game' for another thriller. 'Fight Club' for the mind job. i also really liked his version of 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' -2011. his recent 'The Killer' was enjoyable too. i didn't get 'Zodiac' but have watched it freak out another reactor.

[@Eowyn187]

There's another movie with the same vibe as this one, but not as gruesome. Pure thriller. And Gwyneth Paltrow is in it also. With Michael Douglas and Viggo Mortensen. "The Perfect Murder". It's fantastic!! Even more exciting than this one, to me.

[@chrisbloomfield3350]

If I'm not mistaken, I believe "A Perfect Murder" is an adaptation of Hitchcock's "Dial M for Murder." I know I've seen "A Perfect Murder" but don't remember a thing about it. I've never seen "Dial M for Murder," though.

Kevin Spacey's misgivings aside, he done this role proper. EDIT: P.S. Amazon didn't exist in the 90s! It barely existed in the mid-2000s, it was basically just an online bookstore. I bought a bunch of college books about brains and AI back then, in 2004/2005, spending half my paychecks on brain/AI books from Amazon just to learn on my own what the cutting edge was. Anyway, rant over :]

[@Big_Bag_of_Pus]

Amazon did indeed exist in the 90s. They were a very different company, however. They sold only books, and for several years, you connected to them via a Telnet interface (a text terminal program), which was very insecure.

[@RetroHondo67]

Amazon launched before this movie came out. You are right they only sold books at the time. I worked on a leading big box book retailer website in 97 and we studied Amazon very deeply as even by then they felt Amazon was their main competition. Bezos even then said the company was not about selling books, so he already was visioning Amazon as the e-commerce giant it is today. The retailer we worked for (we were the largest internet/e-commerce professional services company at the time) felt they were going to put them out of business as they felt their almost 30 year lead in brand recognition, logistics/distribution would win the day. Obviously they did not get how digital was going to transform everything.

[@ThistleAndSea]

Good one, Evie. Yeah, disturbing for sure! But a really good movie. Thanks for sharing it! Go play with that bebe. 😊

[@TonyTigerTonyTiger]

It's been years since I saw this, but wouldn't a jury of his peers let David Mills (Brad Pit) go? The man he killed had just murdered his wife, killing his unborn son, cut her head off, and shipped it to him. If I were on the jury, I wouldn't convict David. Maybe of some really low-level crime, but not of murder or manslaughter or anything like that.

[@Hooga89]

He would get a second-degree murder charge in the real world, and even if the jury/judge would go easy on him because of his wife's murder, the fact that he is a cop that kills someone in custody would be an aggravating circumstance. I think it's likely he would at least get 10-15 years. That said, it's not unthinkable that someone gets acquitted even when the evidence is overwhelming, see The People of the State of California v. Orenthal James(O.J) Simpson...

[@ArienRiley]

Uh, Mills went to prison at the end for murder. He's not going to feel the same as Somerset.

Ya know a show that no one else reacts to, and would get you a lot of older viewers I think, is 'Hogan's Heroes'. I don't know if you're old enough (or liked the oldies channel enough) to know the show, but its a really good show from the 60's. The show's main purpose was to make nazi's look like idiots, and the actors that played nazi's on the show (as regular characters) were Jews, every one of them.
