One of the most brilliantly constructed films you will ever see

[@mr.o6240]

True dat.

[@SneakyKiwi71]

The struggle you can see David going through before he ends JD, is perhaps one of the best pieces of acting Brad Pitt has ever done.

[@Letssee92]

Agreed I mean you could see him going back and forth fighting the urge to get vengeance

[@fynnthefox9078]

David Fincher fought tooth and nail for the ending. The studio wanted a lighter more upbeat ending. And I'm thankful we got Fincher's ending.

[@Bluesit32]

Brad Pitt fought for it as well.

[@matthewpaul6904]

Alternate ending has Somerset shooting John Doe and he says "I'm retired."

[@justinrichards7822]

Is this true?

[@matthewpaul6904]

@@justinrichards7822 Yep, I saw it on the dvd. It might be on KZbin

[@StayFractalesque]

Lame ..alternate endings.. pfft. Why they always trying to ruin Finchers movies?

[@miller496]

True dat homie. Google alternate endings to 7. One of them was to have Somerset shoot Joh Doe. It was Freeman that suggested it.

[@Bruce-r4z]

love you guys and the reation . When mom starts cursing and shaking her fist and calling people bastards, your a bad dude.Mission accomplished David Fenture. Hope you guys get to Gone Girl

[@USCFlash]

Mills would easily get off, by simply pleading temporary insanity. No prosecutor would charge a cop under these extreme circumstances. No jury would convict a cop under those extreme circumstances. He'd probably just be given a plea deal to go to a state mental hospital for a month and that's it.

[@stevesheroan4131]

I’ve held this same belief since my first viewing, and I don’t think there’s any other outcome that makes sense. So what if that is what John Doe wants, if I were in Mills’ position I would gladly oblige him. I would have reloaded until I ran out of ammo or until they tackled me. If I were the judge I would slam the gavel on a temporary insanity verdict so hard that it would break the gavel. Housing and feeding that nutcase in a prison is a horrible waste of money IMO.

[@USCFlash]

@@stevesheroan4131 Well like I said, I don't think it ever even goes before a judge. No prosecutor would risk the public outcry of trying to jail a cop for life, for killing John Doe under those extremes circumstance. The prosecutor, the police department and police union, etc would kill this before it even went to trial. Plea deal, to keep it from being a media circus. The prosecutor would have to think about their future career. They are not ending it for trying to jail a cop for killing a serial killer, under the most extreme circumstances possible.

[@Bellixies]

Yeah but he has to live with what that psycho did to his wife...he lost

[@USCFlash]

@@Bellixies Yeah, thanks for the tip. We are not talking about how he will feel the rest of his life. If you notice, my post mentioned nothing about that. It was discussing whether he would go to JAIL for the killing.

[@davidward9737]

​@@Bellixiesi get what you were saying. In the end game David did lose. He lost everything, family and a career, happiness. He will be messed up for life.

[@vampyre_with_a_suntan]

Fun little factoid about that ending scene.. The initial cut actually had some shots with Gwyneths head in the box - but Fincher couldnt push it through without the Rating having to be harsher.. and the production company wasnt having it - so they scrapped those scenes. The head survived though.. and would later make it's cinematic debut in the movie "Contagion" where Paltrow starred opposite Matt Damon.

[@jp3813]

Is that a spoiler for Contagion then?

[@Nogli]

@@jp3813 Not really. It's actually promoted that she dies. The plot is that she is patient zero of the titular virus. The head is used in an autopsy scene. But that fact about the head was everywhere when Contagion came out, thus ruining the ending of Se7en for anyone who doesn't know it.

[@MLJ7956]

Great reaction y'all. A steller cast, epic writing, tight editing, eerie soundtrack and masterfully directed. What makes this movie so shocking and even terrifying isn't what you actually see on screen but more of what you don't see. Which is why I personally think this is another great film from modern suspense master David Fincher.

[@Smoothjazzsundays]

Do “The Machinist”!!! Nobody ever reacts to that movie and it’s SO GOOD. I rated it a 10/10.

[@LilithBaphomette]

This is my absolute favourite movie of all time! Such a pleasure to get to watch you guys react to it for the first time! x

[@jamesosteen09]

This is a very dark film, but it's iconic. That ending is insane!

[@hishamnct6983]

Welcome Back Mom😊

[@nrgmanifest]

I'm one of the ones who thinks Somerset did retire. It was left up to the viewer but I think if he wasn't still going to retire he would've said something like he ain't going nowhere rather than saying he'll be around. I just don't think he would say that if he was staying in his same position

[@hessu275]

Amazing movie, I like everything about this and seen it several times

[@melissapena5001]

This is my favorite Horror Story. 3 of the best actors. Incredible storyline. I can't not watch it whenever I see it's on TV! Thanks for sharing your reaction to this incredible movie!

[@thomasfleischer83]

One of the best movies ever made.

[@MLJ7956]

There were three alternate endings that were scripted and some were even storyboarded but none actually ever filmed... Alternate ending 1 - was where Somerset actually shot the John Doe instead of Mills right before Mills was going to. The last lines could have been...Mills: What the f*** are you doing? Somerset: I'm retiring. You're going to be alright kid. It's alright. (This ending was changed because according to Brad Pitt, there was no way that Mills was going to let Somerset shoot John Doe. Even Morgan Freeman didn't particularly care for this ending and felt that it wouldn't fully work. Director David Fincher agreed). Side note: Also the producers wanted to show the audience what was actually in the box (and a fake head of Gwyneth Paltrow was even made by the special effects company but never actually used in this movie...the fake head was actually used in the movie 'Contagion' several years later. Alternate ending 2 - Tracy actually was alive but it was the head of one of the dogs that was in the box. Somerset convinces Mills to holster his weapon. Mills & Somerset take the John Doe back to jail to stand trial for his murders. The last lines could have been...Mills: You thought you could manipulate me into playing your sick twisted game, you sick f***. John Doe: [looking at Somerset] You're right. He is smarter than he looks. [Mills & Somerset take him back to their police car and he evilly smiles] (The producers wanted this ending for the film, but Pitt, Freeman, Kevin Spacey & director Fincher all rejected this one) Alternate ending 3 - (this ending was in a very early draft of the script but was later changed. No storyboards were made because the ending was changed so early on)...in this ending, Mills shoots Somerset in the arm so he can then shoot the John Doe. Later the audience would see Somerset in the hospital getting treated for the gunshot wound, when the captain showed up to hand Somerset a note left for him. The note would read "you were right. You were right about me. You were right about everything. Sorry...M" [M for Mills]. In an interview after the film was released Brad Pitt mentioned he agreed to appear in 'Se7en' under the condition that Tracy’s head was never shown and that Mills shot John Doe instead of Somerset or doing 'the right thing' because he felt that the Mills character would be passionately in love with his wife and with the revelation that John Doe murdered her and their future child, his whole world was shattered. And out of that passion, all he could think about was Tracy and how John Doe took her away from him. He had to shoot John Doe in that moment. Director David Fincher also defended the decision not to show Tracy’s head in the box and to go with Millis shooting John Doe out of passion & retribution, when producers wanted to change the ending to be more upbeat & optimistic. Fincher said in another interview "the producers wanted to change the ending narrative, which would have totally changed the film's tone. The whole film was bleak because the crimes themselves were so bleak. From the onset this was setting up that this story wasn't going to end pleasantly, then to suddenly have a happier ending would have been a great disservice to the story as a whole and even would disrespect the intelligence of the audience. No, I wasn't going to do that". Ultimately, the final theatrical ending of Se7en had all the elements that Fincher, Pitt, Freeman & Spacey fought to keep in and had the desired effect of surprising the audience and keeping them on the edge of their seats. Se7en didn’t need to show the head in the box to make an impact, and the above alternate endings wouldn’t have had the same emotional effects that the final movie actually did....

"Hand over the gun David. Hand me the gun. He isn't worth it"

[@williameleno]

Please consider watching The Butterfly Effect, it has a very similar feel to this movie and its a very good movie that shows Ashton Kutchers acting skills.

Great Reaction To This Great Movie, Ladies

[@joelwillis2043]

I make this comment every year or so. I was here at the beginning when I watched the first episode of GOT when it aired. Watching your sister run out of the room every 5 minutes at the most innocent of scenes because she was terrified something bad was going to happen. Or your mom hiding her face at every sight of blood. Yet here we are, watching Seven. I never would have guessed that would be possible.

[@el-violador]

What you said about how Tracey would have died is what makes this film so brutal without actual gore. Every watch I see each murder in more detail... It's your own mind that fills in the horror which is so much worse than red corn syrup and screaming

[@jp3813]

As a person who hates gory horror movies, I prefer this film's approach b/c I can easily censor out the violence in my own head.

[@jeffbassin630]

Wonderful reaction to a terrific and frightening film!

[@captainofdunedain3993]

Happy mom's day! I enjoyed this video a lot

[@mr.o6240]

The ending isn't completely "negative" though if you think of Somerset's arc his entire story was that he was going to quit he was fed up and basically disgusted with life but Mills affected him and made him continue to fight the good fight even though he is in HELL literally.

[@mr.o6240]

Notice how at the end instead of the credits going down like they normally would they go up .👆

[@illwitness]

Didn't notice, what could that mean?

[@pricemoore2022]

Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊

[@Reefism]

Denzel Washington said this is one of two movies he regretted turning down. The other was the movie Michael Clayton.

[@TheMiraculousVillain]

Broooo one detail I missed was that after David shoots JD he literally became Wraith

[@ChadVital]

He was wrath before that, it just fulfilled it completely.

[@karlmoles6530]

"Kill me David, become Wrath"

[@jp3813]

*Become vengeance, David...

[@StayFractalesque]

Would you have wanted David to not pull the trigger if it was your head in the box?

[@Bluesit32]

Yes. Doe would have killed me to further his own goals. The only suitable revenge is to bring those plans to ruin.

[@acerob1830]

Amazing Ladies!

[@Serpico360]

well, if there was ever a case for temporary insanity, this would be it.

[@tonyponchopeters]

Other Fantastic David Fincher films are Gone Girl, Zodiac and Fight Club.

[@davidward9737]

Every Chrstmas. Whats in the box. I dont blame David. Good for him

[@svenpoletka5236]

Any papa bear would do the same, can't blame him

[@heyheyjk-la]

If you haven't seen it already, go to 23:08 in the edit. There is a 1-2 frame subliminal shot of Gwyneth Paltrow that most people miss, and it represents Mills' seeing his wife in his head as he agonizes over what has happened to her and it leads him to shoot John Doe. Fincher has done this before, as have other films and commercials.

[@josemenendez4454]

The movie that inspired me to write screenplays

[@petercofrancesco9812]

I'm guessing this was filmed before Amazon Prime was a thing.

[@ACinemafanatic]

Zodiac would also be a good film reaction since it’s in a similar vein to Se7en

[@mr.o6240]

Great review but... WHAT'S IN THE BOX??!!!???!!!

[@buddinganarchist]

The Game is a sweeter Fincher film

[@fahrialvie]

Please react to pearl and x movies guys😊

[@richarddoyle3420]

Curious. This movie freaks you out. Walking Dead is manageable. Explain. Oh, great vs. crap. Got it.

[@vincentwilliams71]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@miller496]

The weakest plot disappointment for me was when it was discovered that “John Doe” had sliced off his finger tips…..hence why there were no fingerprints left at the scenes…..or in his domicile…like most of everyone I have had a paper slice…..hurts like a bitch!!! You slice off all yer finger tips in an a attempt to hide your identity in 1995? DNA wasn’t just a passing fancy….it was the shit. So rather than leave your fingerprints behind….you cause yourself an insane amount of pain to leave your entire genetic make up behind…??🤷🏻

[@apexpredator6752]

Best ending would be if Mills shoots himself after killing Doe.

[@desireezachry8086]

Very entertaining but ladies u talk way too much u miss stuff lol
