It is believed that David Fincher said this sentence through the mouth of John Du.
Pride, gluttony, laziness, covetousness, lust, anger, and jealousy are religiously called the original sins of man. The Seven Deadly Sins have long been familiar to people and have been quoted many times in film and television themes. It is not easy for David Fincher to make a film devoted to this commonplace topic.
So, David Fincher shook us hard.
Those who commit the crime of gluttony are fed to death by food; those who commit the crime of greed are punished by the story of the merchant of Venice; those who commit the crime of lust are stabbed to death by a sharp weapon; those who commit the crime of laziness are imprisoned in bed for a year as punishment ; whoever commits the crime of pride, disfigure his face, and then die with the death of his pride. It can be said that these five bloody cases are extremely shocking and bizarre at the same time. To be able to devise such a torture method is both a lunatic and a genius. The combination of a lunatic and a genius is Satan.
When we endure the cruelty and blood in it to see these five "works of Satan", we have to admire the devil who created them, because these five "works" really say five an original sin. We were shocked and understood the original sin.
David Fincher certainly has a perfect display of genius in this film, and he leaves the last two "works" of the Devil at the end of the film.
This time there were no bloody scenes, no bizarre torture methods, and even the film only gave Trish's first short shot, but it brought the deepest shock. Jealousy only sets the stage for anger, and the punishment for those guilty of anger is the loss of a beloved wife and a lifetime of guilt.
David Fincher once again shocked the audience with an unexpected ending. If the first five original sins were only visually shocking, they finally shocked the audience deeply in the mind.
The rhythm of "Seven Deadly Sins" is not fast, but it is slow and dull. However, on this seemingly bland surface, there is an incomparably turbulent shock. In this strong contrast, the audience's emotions have nowhere to vent. I believe that the audience who watched this film felt inexplicably depressed.
