I gave all the five stars of this film to the last thirty minutes! It's brilliant, I think there's a paradox here about what's right and what's wrong. Is it daring to be angry with the injustice of the society and not being content with the status quo, or to take some extreme actions to punish the society. Seven crimes, originally I thought it would be ordinary. From Monday to Sunday, one person died every day, but I underestimated the director, and when I jumped from Thursday to Sunday, I felt strange, the middle What about these two days? The director knows better than me.

"Now if you want someone to listen to you, it's not enough to just pat on the shoulder. You have to hit it with a hammer." The prisoner said that he was an ordinary person, an ordinary person chosen by God. Maybe in his eyes, we ordinary people are ordinary people. We are all lunatics, unresponsive and indifferent to the dark side of society, and we are the most numb people.

The highlight of the last part is that the prisoner said that he wanted to show them the last two corpses, which were actually the prisoner himself and Mills, one representing jealousy and the other representing anger (there are really many angry scenes of Mills in this film, sometimes I will be a little angry when I see it, how can a policeman be so impulsive? Including his behavior of kicking the door, I didn't understand it very much at the time, I thought he was too selfish, and this paved the way for his final act of shooting the criminal. . His wife talked to the police officer and said that she had a child. I also understand.) In the end, Mills really shot. Although he did not say the consequences, he should have been sentenced to death, so the prisoner would win, and in the end The two corpses of .. the seven deadly sins are completed, namely arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, lust, and gluttony.

The uncle of the prisoner's acting is also too good! The protagonist of American Beauty suddenly felt a sense of intimacy when he saw him appearing in the film and was the big BOSS.

All the shots in the film are basically dimly lit indoors, or scenes with rain outside, which always gives people a very depressing and mysterious feeling. Only in the last paragraph, in a huge golden field, this contrast makes people tremble involuntarily.

What is the original sin?
