    Jen is one of the best, great edits, pays attention, thinks and doesn't blabber needlessly over the whole movie, she's interesting to watch especially with deep movies like this, she's not putting on a show centered on her but motivates the viewer to share the movie experience with her, that's what movie reactions should be about, some are so high on cafeine, feels like they're ranting on Tik Tok, I usually turn them off after a few minutes, I'm picky about movies, like to be entertained but don't watch fluff, when a title interests me, I'll try many reactions, but I often end up disapointed cause the reactor misses the whole point of the exercise, if the movie is obliterated by the reactor, what's the point? I'm not kissing butt here but many reactors could take notes, intelligent reactions by a person who actually knows what she's doing... How refeshing, another great one, thanks Jen!

    I saw this in the cinema when it first came out. I was so into the film and empathising with Brad Pitt's character, that when he's about to become wrath I couldn't help myself and shouted out "shoot him in the face". Bit embarrassing now, but that's how good the film is and how well it gets you 👌

    The main theme of Seven is the Apathy. It makes for such a dark, cynical view of the world and this is the prism through which Seven is cast. Somerset hates the city he has sworn to protect. All his years on the force have caused him to be cynical, jaded and apathetic. He says, "In a big city, minding your own business is a science". The idea is reinforced when he explains in rape prevention, the first thing women are taught, is to not yell "help". NO ONE responds to "HELP" but instead to yell "FIRE".

    • @Trip_Fontaine
      @Trip_Fontaine 5 месяцев назад

      @lethaldose2000 In a weird way, I actually find this movie hopeful and inspiring. At the end Somerset overcomes his apathy, as shown by his commentary on the Hemmingway quote and him saying "I'll be around." I see the message of the movie as saying that there's every reason in the world to lose all hope and be apathetic, but to be human is to resist that and keep fighting anyway.

    (IMHO) This is David Fincher's best work. Brilliant psychological thriller! I saw it in the theatre with my girlfriend in 1995 and our mouths were hanging open from start to finish (she may have been ogling Brad Pitt though 😆)! The film is relentless. You can tell how drawn in you were with this film- when John Doe was shooting at Mills, you were reacting as if he was actually shooting at you!
    It's great that the surprise of Kevin Spacey as the killer and of course the twist ending wasn't spoiled for you. "What's in the box!?!" is a pop culture catch phrase. For us back then it was a COMPLETE surprise!
    Another great thriller also by David Fincher is "Zodiac" from 2007 with Jake Gyllenhaal and Mark Ruffalo- based on the actual Zodiac Killer murders in the 1960s.
    Again and as always loved your reaction!

    I'm sure this movie traumatized many people. I really like the mystery and suspense. Its creepy lighting/color palette, music and sounds all worked so well together to set that crazy dark atmosphere. Very well done

    So... rough as it may have been, I really, really recommend watching it again sometime soon.
    You're more likely to be able to enjoy and appreciate much of the style and ambience in it, like say all those city noises you mentioned. There's just so many great details and style in here. In particular how sound and visuals play together. I think it shows that David Fincher started out directing a bunch of music videos.

    Thank you for uploading this. How amazing was that movie? The story is obviously brilliant. But there you have Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kevin Spacey at their peaks. The acting should have resulted into 4 academy awards alone but the mood, the rain... everything about that is stunningly good.

    I remember watching this as a teenager and being fascinated and sickened at the same time. It was one of, if not the first, truly disturbing movies I had seen and it really pulled me in, and broke that childhood wall of innocence. It was a hard watch that first time, but such an excellent film. A lot of the reactors on RUclips are a younger audience so it's really fun to watch you, someone near the same age (I'm guessing lol) see these movies for the first time.

    I believe when this came out in 1995 Kevin Spacey was not a particularly well known actor which fit well with his "John Doe" character. We don't find out much about him or his background so he could be "anybody". It's interesting to think about - what a difference it makes if you cast a relative unknown vs casting a big well-known star in a role.

Maybe when Seven came out he had started to be better known (he did win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for The Usual Suspects) but probably at the time when he was making Seven, he was still not a big name yet.

    You nailed it re: the violence factor - the only onscreen death is John Doe's execution (rightfully so). Fincher is truly a master craftsman and this is his masterpiece. In a word - uncompromising. The gritty neo noir look (nice catch on that too Jen) with relentless rain and gloom with nothing but dread from everyone only adds to the suspense ratcheting up with each kill. Fincher purposely did not name a specific city which gives its anonymity a purely universal feel - this happens everywhere in the US. Period. DynamicDuo Freeman and Pitt are great together (wish they'd collab again). I only found out recently that Rob Bottin - who did the astounding make-up for THE THING - created the Sloth visuals (!) Great job. PS: Boston is adorable.

    Russell Crowe, Kevin Spacey and Guy Pearce play detectives based on their own Screen Personas (RC Violent, KS Oleaginous, GP Ultra Ambitious). It is set in 40's LA and has a great payoff over the name of a character.
    Very insightful review of Se7en. Even tho it was a hard watch your take on the movie was spot on.

    I'm glad you decided to watch this. If you have a fascination about this genre then you may enjoy some other movies: Zodiac, From Hell (about Jack the Ripper), possibly The Cell (Jennifer Lopez, but the concept is unique), and maybe a more recent move called The Raven (based on Edgar Allen Poe's works.... bit they are being staged in real life). None of these suggestions are "horror" movies I'd say, but fit in the psychological genre with sub-genres of suspense, terror, horror and even avant-garde for one of them. All worth a watch in my opinion. Loved Se7en. This move, The Silence of the Lambs, and From Hell arey favorite two in this genre. Great reaction to the movie!
