Probably one of my favorite movies ever. And the fact that The Batman (2022) appears to be taking inspiration from Se7en is so exciting. John Doe is just an amazing villain

[@SpiritxEnigma]

I hope The Riddler plays a similar role to Doe. I don’t want Edward killed off but I think he might want to be to break Batman’s code & values similar to the one from “The Enemy Within” Telltale game. He might reveal a dark secret about the Wayne family in relation with the Court of Owls, maybe Batman himself was a project of the CoO & Riddler reveals the truth to break his code. You can see Batman pummeling Nygma (his glasses were in the shot) while Catwoman watches stunned. Maybe he gets what he wants in his own death proving Batman isn’t as honorable as he acts. Bruce is also pretty short-tempered during Year Two which is leading me to think this is the case even more.

Before the movie came out, Kevin Spacey was not advertised to be in it at all. He didn't do interviews or promos for it. So when he appears, it's the first time you find out he's in the movie (unless you recognize him as the photographer, but his face is obscured).

David Fincher's Se7en is a true masterpiece thriller. I saw this movie on a rainy opening day at an 8pm showing in Manhattan. I had no idea what I was in store for. I didn't know who David Fincher was and I didn't know much about the movie I was about to watch. But it left me speechless as it left you. Imagine seeing this in a packed theater and being in total disbelief of the ending. Not only that, the atmosphere of this film is beyond fantastic. It left an imprint on me and made me want to pursue my dream of filmmaking. Glad you finally watched it. Oh and Fincher also directed Zodiac. :-)

[@luketrottier9388]

Ha, I was 7 when this was in theatre, so, I didn't have the pleasure. But, I did see it not long after it came out... Heh, I think I was 12 my first time seeing it. I appreciated it a lot even then, despite some of the themes being over my head.

[@theConquerersMama]

Same I went in blind. I knew Fincher mostly from music videos then. I expected a kind of noir cop mystery but not this. Who expected this. I honestly was traumatized. Especially by the lust one. I still skip it. But yeah, talk about effective story telling.

Directed by David Fincher starring Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt in this mystery movie about a serial killer who tracks it's victims based on the seven deadly sins. Also featuring Gwyneth Paltrow and Kevin Spacey

[@jrivademarjr]

Just an amazing jaw-dropping film from beginning to end! It’s crazy how they never show any of the murders until Mills kills John Doe at the end. They just show you pictures of the aftermath with describing what happened. Your imagination makes it real to you. FYI if you watch it again pay attention to the opening credits in you’ll see John Doe using a razor to cut off his finger prints. Also the song they use during the credits is called Closer by Nine Inch Nails. Look it up and listen to the lyrics. It’s an amazing choice for unforgettable movie!

Please react to The Crow (1994), Brandon Lee is the lead actor he is the son of Bruce Lee, it’s an amazing movie. This is Brandon Lee tragic performance, Lee got shot with pieces of residue from a blank bullet still stuck in the chamber of the prop gun, the prop crew didn’t clean the gun and didn’t check if the gun still had any residue which it did. The director and crew and actors all though that the scene went as planned but they saw Brandon on ground for a couple of minutes they thought he was playing a joke or something but he wasn’t, they walk towards him and turn him and see that Brandon was really shot for real so they rushed him to the hospital where doctors performed surgery but after they told the crew that Brandon Lee had passed away on March 31, 1993 Brandon Lee was only 28 years old. They still went ahead and finished the movie but some scenes are not Brandon they used his body double to finish the movie but they CGI his face.
