About seven

There are only two suspense and thriller movies I like the most, one is the silent lamb, and the other is the seven deadly sins. The former is because of Hopkins' performance, and the latter is because of the atmosphere created by the whole film. Seven days, seven sins, seven rains. Although the structure is unnatural, it is concealed because of the smooth connection. The rainy city, the gray and black tones of the whole film, the gloomy interior lighting, the tense music, and the perfect and smooth editing (especially the editing of the library section) are all worthy of reference for later suspense films. Morgan Freeman's performance is meticulous and restrained, which is worth savoring.
In terms of theme interpretation, most of the movies are very unified. The indifference caused by the disappointment of the modern urbanites of the New Yorker type represented by Morgan Freeman has been constantly emphasized by the director from the beginning. The manifestation of this indifference is escape. Morgan Freeman's lines are very well written: I don't know this place any more... After getting in the taxi, the driver asked where to go, he looked at the fight outside the window and said: far far away. The opposite is David and tracy are incompatible with such a city. John seems to appear as an evangelist, he said, I didn't choose, I was chosen. However, he actually admitted that killing tracy was his sin (because of envy), which led to David’s wrath, which exactly explained the will of God. Does not hold. The lack of ethics and values ​​has been expressed very clearly through this contradiction. In my opinion, seven is perfect here. It's a pity that the director quoted Hemingway's words, This world...and worth fightin' for. Then Morgan Freeman said, I agree with the second part. This kind of tasteless addition is unnecessary in my opinion, because this The hope of the genre is obviously inconsistent with the style of the whole film. For example, the song of the same nat king cole suddenly has Maria Kelly’s dolphin sound at the end...
But such a movie is already very difficult and rare. .
