Ernest Hemingway once wrote: "The world is beautiful and worth fighting for". I think the last half of the sentence is correct. Very typical of David Finch's genius style, using the seven deadly sins of Catholic doctrine to ingeniously strung a serial murder case. "Gluttony", "greed", "laziness", "jealousy", "pride", "lust", "anger", every crime is hidden in this seemingly harmonious society. When the extreme confrontation between the detective and the murderer reached its peak, the righteous side also became one of the seven sins, and it was impossible to tell who was right and who was wrong for a while. The environment of the film gradually changes with the development of the case. The gloomy and gloomy beginning contrasts sharply with the end of the scorching sun, and finally the story ends at night. From the extremely evil serial murder to thinking about the motive of the murder and finally not knowing whether it is right or wrong, the combination of environment and atmosphere is just right. Among them, the flashlight flickering on and off when browsing photos in the criminal's home depicts the blurred feeling of trying to gain insight into the truth but not being able to get the truth to the extreme. Deliberately creating a dark environment and atmosphere to deepen people's sense of suspense in the film is David Fincher's consistent practice, and other shortcomings are also innocuous.
