First watch this movie again from the recommendation of a teacher of xdf, the seven deadly sins Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Lust, Pride, Envy, Wrath, 4 of which are GRE words. It’s been a long time since I read the Red Book, but I can still recall a few more.
Regarding the plot, let’s start with Gluttony’s gluttony. The director is too good. The actors who I don’t know where to find are really satisfying the requirements of gluttony. People must lose weight. Greed's crime is also quite evil, which stems from the greed of a psychiatric lawyer. , In order to make money, he did not hesitate to use all means to make the criminal escape the crime; Sloth’s crime pervert is to keep the mental illness from death, and it is so miserable that he can still breathe after he makes a mistake. The first time most people saw this scene, most people must be surprised. Impressed; Lust is more perverted. It is estimated that some people will not understand why it is lust. If you look carefully at the props on the photo that Morgan Freeman got from the store, you can understand why it’s perverted. Unfortunately, the director did not take a close-up shot. The death of that prostitute can’t satisfy our perverted heart, haha; Pride’s scenes are much less, obviously because time is over or budget is not enough and there is no careful arrangement. What kind of phone can be used for help, poison can be suicide, and life is on the other side. On the other hand, it is death. It is estimated that the plot in Saw Chainsaw Fright is very inspired by this movie, which will be discussed later. The most exciting thing is undoubtedly the last two crimes, Envy+Wrath's serial super kills. The screenwriter is very awesome. Such a plot can be thought of in 1995. This super kill is also one of the reasons why most people like this movie. . The murderer himself was jealous of the detective, and the detective killed the murderer because of his bereavement's rage, and finally made the murderer successfully complete the works of the seven deadly sins. It was so perfect, so perfect, how could he be so perfect?
Of course, if you think about it carefully, you will find some small problems with the murderer's thinking. The murderer’s purpose was to create seven homicides to correspond to the seven crimes. The first five were all planned, but the latter two police chiefs found the murderer’s hiding place. This caused the second two original plans to abort, so they were in a hurry. I had no choice but to figure out a super killer to complete my work. If, according to the murderer, there are too many sins in this world, people are accustomed to it, and he wants to warn the world through God’s punishment that all the people he kills are deserved, then the death of Pete’s wife is obviously contrary to the original intention of the killer, but This is also the only way to complete the seven deadly sins. From this perspective, this work is not perfect. For Pete's final headshot, it is also inevitable. From the very beginning, the film portrays the violent temper of the new agent played by Pete, speaking disrespect to elders, insulting reporters, and trespassing into private houses, which establishes that he will inevitably lose his mind and fall into the trap of rage.
Regarding the actors, it is also an important reason for the success of this movie. The three trump cards, Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey. When I watched this movie in Part 2, I couldn’t remember who played this awesome murderer, and it turned out to be a very gorgeous detective~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What I saw was Kevin's expressionless face. Wow, it's too strong, it's him! The first impression of Kevin was that famous American Beauty. One of my favorite movies, he played the role of a fancier citizen in it. There is also a film Unusual Suspect where he plays a very weak but actually very precise role. I think he is particularly suitable for people who play this kind of role in keeping a low profile. Of course, he was not so famous when he was shooting se7en in 1995. His ranking on imdb was the last one in the cast, dizzy. Pete is so handsome. Freeman's supporting role in Shawshank Redemption in 1994 was quite good, an old guy who saw through the world, and turned into an old policeman who saw through the world in the Seven Deadly Sins. It is estimated that when he is older, it is more convenient to play this type of role.
Regarding the characters, in the scene where the murderer took two detectives to find the so-called two corpses in the car, the relationship between the characters was vividly reflected. As for the murderer's outlook on life, the old inspector also agrees very much. People's indifference makes this city hopeless, but the old inspector chooses to quit and the murderer chooses extreme means to retaliate against the world. The young inspector looks like a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and firmly believes that he can handle all these evils. It can be seen from the dialogue between him and the murderer that he has always wanted to emphasize that people don't care about his work, and will forget it after two months at most. And his defense paled in the murderer's philosophical rebuttal. In fact, for such a murderer, the best way to humiliate him is not to kill him with a single shot, but to destroy the work he has spent his entire life completing. Life is already an accessory to him, and his soul rests on these seven deadly sins. If in the end Pete can stabilize his emotions, calmly, and say to the murderer without a smile, I forgive you, I really want to see what the expression on Kevin's face would look like at that time. Maybe because this expression is too complicated and beyond the ability of human performance, so the director arranges the ending of Pete's headshot.
The influence of this film is still very large. The Chainsaw Horror series I love very much is undoubtedly affected by the seven deadly sins. Although one is not as good as one, the central idea is that the perverted murderer was abandoned by the society and began to retaliate against the society. , It kills guilty people, and the famous name is that this is their salvation. Coincidentally, the murderers in the two movies are called John. The xdf fill-in teacher also said that all questions led by names such as John and Johnson are generally negative. Could the name John be synonymous with bad boy in Lao Mei’s impression? No way.
