"The Seven Deadly Sins" is not a homicidal movie in the traditional sense. Seven homicides occurred one after another within two hours. A slight improper rhythm control would be reduced to a stylized running record. The director David Fincher passed the story The extremely patient narration, the complicated and simple spreading, the careful rhythm management, and the long-awaited drama climax make the overall look and feel of the film reach an unprecedented height.
Cold, humid, and often raining city streets. Dim, dirty, perverted and bloody crime scene. David Fincher shaped New York as a city shrouded in depression and atmosphere at all times.
His control of the light and shadow atmosphere of the picture is brought to the extreme in "The Seven Deadly Sins". Different crime scenes are rendered in different tones, low-key dark yellow gluttony, crimson bleak lust, light green laziness, bright and pure white pride, the meticulous design makes the audience undetectable, but it conveys everything invisibly. The unique emotions and feelings of each scene.
Some people refer to "The Seven Deadly Sins" as a finale film. All the step-by-step settings and preparations in the plot are just preparations for the final detonation at the last minute. In fact, this kind of ending design was initially rejected by the investor Xinxian Films, thinking that it was too dark to be good for its box office performance. Afterwards, Mills actor Brad Pitt claimed that he would withdraw from filming if he wanted to change the ending. The investor had to give in, and director David Fincher was able to complete the work according to his own ideas.
Imagine if it wasn't for this ending, what design could give the audience the double shock brought by the release of suspense and emotion? At the end of the film, Morgan Freeman ended the film with a very charming monologue. (Ernest Hemingway once wrote this sentence: "The world is beautiful, and it is worth fighting for." I agree with the second half of the sentence.)
