Se7en: It's better to call it a thriller than a cop movie, playing a game of cat and mouse.

The film is highly rated and regarded by many as a classic. Looking at it with expectations is my little miscalculation, and it's not a classic in my opinion (so everyone has a different idea of ​​a classic haha).

NYC is misty and rainy from the beginning to the end. The gloomy scene creates a city suitable for crime. It can be regarded as a way for the murderer John Doe to use religious rules to kill people as a matter of course. John Doe said that he was chosen by God as the butcher to punish the seven deadly sins of human nature, and presented the punishment that human beings deserved for their crimes by brutal killing methods. It is a sin to be labelled Insane by Mills or others. Seriously, I agree with John Doe.

Because I believe more that everyone has their own perspective to see things. John Doe just used another way to make his point. Of course, hurting others is one of the most nosy things for me. People are gluttonous, greedy, lazy, jealous, proud, lustful, angry, and what does it matter to them? What I want to say is that these so-called sins have nothing to do with religion. Why it's a sin remains to be seen. At the same time, the police, who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos, only solve the problem by worshiping the goddess of justice, holding a gun in the left hand, and the scale in the right hand is slightly inclined to innocent people. In this regard, Libras will never actually have a moment of balance. For the sake of fairness and justice, we destroy some evils, so aren't we also protecting justice?

Pull away. To be honest, the plot of "Se7en" is not bad, but the ending is rather rough, it is not difficult for people to guess the development of the story. John Doe used his jealousy to force Mills to shoot himself, and Mills also committed anger, ending the seventh deadly sin. I don't know why, but I feel like this part is not perfect, not like the perfect seven deadly sins. And Mills' anger is incompetent (Brad Pitt acting problem?), I don't think he's really that angry and wants to kill John.

Mills is really hateful from beginning to end in this movie, that hot cop look is hateful in my eyes, no wonder it's the final rage. On the contrary, John Doe was much better off, believing in himself so confidently, and completing his "mission" slowly. I admire him. Ha ha. Some people say that John is gay and likes Mills. He is jealous that Mills can live a normal life and have a happy family, so he kills his wife Tracy. So Wong Kar-wai said: A person will become vicious, as long as he has tried, what is jealousy. Ha ha.

Well, to put it generally, what makes me think about Pop the most about this movie is that it lacks the sense of shock. There is no process in killing, the darkness is not enough, the feeling of evil is not strong, and it cannot leave a deep impression. It's better to call it a thriller than a police and bandit movie, playing a game of cat and mouse.

    The whole movie is immersed in low and grand music, matched with the gloomy environment, hot conversation and thrilling case, as well as the continuous rain, as if even the sky is squeezing the world, suppressing it until the end is miserable. And bloom brilliantly. Our world is full of too much evil and helplessness. It is too extreme. The fact is that although it is not as good as the ideal, it is always worth fighting for.

    A film that inherits the classic film noir atmosphere, a film that allows Brad Pitt, Kevin Spacey and Morgan Freeman to compete on the same stage, a film written by David Fincher Desperate modern epic, what could be cooler than such a movie?
