I just saw "Se7en"

[BradT]

This has got to be one of my new favorite movies from its genre. Morgan Freeman gave a stellar performance. The ending was pretty cool too, and I didn't see it coming until the very end.

It must have something to do with the early 90's for thriller/scary movies. I recently saw Silence of the Lambs too, and it was excellent as well.

Where was I? If you thought that was me at the motel 6 with the clown it wasn't and if my wife asks it was clearly not me.

Welcome to... ah whatever, it's one of those movies everyone should see no matter how long ago it came out.

I have recently been catching up on my movie watching.

Mabye I should turn this into a thread for suggesting "must-see" movies for me to watch.

welcome to 1995

While I agree that it's a great movie, the ending really let me down.

* SPOILERS TO FOLLOW! (Although, it's 12yrs old so I'm not really spoiling anything)

The killing of Mills' wife, Tracy, doesn't make any sense in the context of the movie. In killing her, he destroys the one redeeming character in the movie. Throughout the movie, she is presented as good and virtuous. That Doe would kill the one person that embodies the morality and lifestyle that he preaches man to follow is hypocritical and inconceivable from such a steadfast psycopath.

To me, it seems like the ending was added to give the movie that final shock and close with a bang, and is effective as such. Unfortunately, it comes at the expense of the underlying theme of the movie.

Just an hour ago, I finished re-watching The Game. Hadn't seen it in a couple years. I'd suggest that if you haven't seen it. It's directed by David Fincher, who did Se7en.

I seem to remember people saying it represented the final two sins. He is killed for his envy of her, and Mills becomes wrath.

Yep, that was the point. Hell, Spacey spells it out directly. No need to interpret that one

That's correct, its a two for one punch. Envy and Wrath all around the same person.

[ZeroEffect]

I thought Seven was pretty nasty - bunch of stuff i could have done without seeing...

the only good part in the movie was the chase scene... very well done.
