The plot of "Seven Deadly Sins" may indeed be easier to guess for us who are accustomed to Hollywood thinking. There are no unrelated characters, and every character that appears is directly related to the plot. Although the film was able to win with plot and concept at the time, it seems today that there are indeed too many loopholes and points to be critical of. Of course, maybe all of this is just our high expectations. In all fairness, after all, that was a movie from many years ago. For example, the major turning point of Pitt and Morgan finding the murderer through the FBI database is too rough, and it feels like the beginning and the end. Of course, we can also understand that, in a two-hour movie, to tell the seven deadly sins, the average murder caused by each sin is only a short 15 minutes. In 15 minutes, it is necessary to show that the murderer has carefully planned a "bureau" for at least more than a year, coupled with the detection work of the police detectives, it is obviously very hasty. For another example, Pitt's beautiful wife talked to Morgan, and it felt abrupt at first, please forgive me for thinking about it for a while, wow. . . In a word, if "Seven Deadly Sins" is made into a TV series, it will definitely feel much more exciting than any American TV series now. Of course, overall, I think The Seven Deadly Sins is a very successful movie. For movies, I never ask too much, but if a movie can not only satisfy people's sensory and psychological needs, but also arouse people's thinking about themselves, in my opinion, it is successful. Gluttony * Greed * Sloth * Envy * Wrath * Pride * Lust, as a non-Christian audience, as someone who only knows Dante's "The Divine Comedy" in the history books, the impact and aftertaste of this film are both Equally huge. Especially when I saw more than 2,000 notebooks in the murderer's study and heard his wise words, I felt that the director's portrayal of a murderer who was so cool was really brilliant. I couldn't help thinking that maybe only the murderer was right. Pitt was wrong when he said the killer was a schizophrenic martyr in the car to the suburbs. Perhaps as a police detective trained under the mainstream American ideology—instrumental rationalism, as a screw in the huge state machinery of a modern nation-state, Pitt cannot understand that only those who truly pursue wisdom can know how to give up their lives , dare to give up his life. Socrates is like this, so is Wang Guowei. The murderer used his own life to perfectly explain the seven deadly sins. When Pitt finally shot him several times in a row, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the splashing blood. I was thinking of destiny&duty (fate, mission). The seven deadly sins are not only the original sins and original sins of human beings, but also the fate of human beings. At the end of the movie, when everyone cares about the trigger, I notice more that Pitt actually represents the greatest success of ancient Greek tragedy: a delicate description of the suffering of human beings in their struggle against fate. struggling process. We can even compare the close-up of Pitt before he shoots it to the sculpture Laocoon. When the whole society has fallen into a hopeless field, only true warriors dare to face, challenge and shout. Heidegger said that Nietzsche was jumping on the roofs of humans, shouting, and people thought he was a lunatic. However, until today, we vaguely feel that, in fact, the real crazy is ourselves. At present, the whole country is in mourning for the Sichuan earthquake. Reminiscent of the tragic situation of the victims in the earthquake and the changes in China's environment in the past 30 years, we human beings may really calm down and listen carefully to the choking voice from Mother Earth. , and stare carefully at the crystallization of wisdom from the historical corridor, whether it is Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, or, our Confucius. duty (fate, mission).

  • William Somerset: [Reading from one of John Doe's journals] On the subway today, a man came up to me to start a conversation. He made small talk, a lonely man talking about the weather and other things. I tried to be pleasant and accommodating, but my head hurt from his banality. I almost didn't notice it had happened, but I suddenly threw up all over him. He was not pleased, and I couldn't stop laughing.

  • John Doe: Don't ask me to pity those people. I don't mourn them any more than I do the thousands that died at Sodom and Gomorrah.

    William Somerset: Is that to say, John, that what you were doing was God's good work?

    John Doe: The Lord works in mysterious ways.
