This is one of those scenes that sticks with you, even years after you watch the film. Great movie, great scene, great actor, and most of all, great song.
A: The library is closed and Det. Somerset knew the guard. B: Those are guards are from other locations, off/on other locations, at the library drinking and playing cards. C: I'm guessing the guard in the suit has the overnight library gig.
This scene is one of the best I have ever seen... The comparison between the old and young detective... their different workplaces, their different outfit, their different mood, their different work data (books vs crimes pictures), how one loves time is passing, absorbed in the books, but the other hates his night..., how one is drinking a beer but the other prefer the solitude of a library instead going with the poker players... And finally... all the answers are waiting for us in the books... that envelope says that, while a classical song of Bach is playing. I admire how Fincher built this... I just love it.
Garreth o'Brien lol...I know what you mean. I was actually just watching Se7en for the first time in years...and after this scene played, I lost all interest in the film, turned it off, and began reading with a glass of wine. I know this Bach piece is utterly cliche to many and that there's a lot of other great classical music....but for some reason I've always found this single song to be one of the most beautiful things humanity ever created. It touches on something incredibly primordial and transcendent about the nature of reality/human experience.
And Brad got to play the "dumb" white guy. All of the janitors were white, even at the police station. The security guards were witty. The DA, pathologist and fingerprint analysis expert were black.
The duality of human nature, between the heaven of Bach, and the terror of medieval tortures. Some of the most sublime novels and poems describe horrors... Forever trapped between chimps and angels.
Well said. And yet, how well they go together. Bach music is, after all, quite dark and often tinged with a melancholy that fit the eerie moodiness of this scene magnificently.
I had to get older to appreciate this scene. It isn't that Mills wasn't a good detective, it was just that Sumerset was right. It Was Too Soon For Him. He just wasn't ready. This case wasn't going to be solved with sheer force and bravado, it required critical thinking and the wisdom and experience that Mills sorely lacked. Notice how MIlls is so focused on the crime scene? Sumerset isn't investing himself in the gore of the crimes, he's instead focused on the meanings and the motivations of the perpetrator. Mills is struggling because he's too engrossed with the crime scene to be realize how big the case is becoming. MIll's wife watching through the doors also sees her husband struggling with the case and cleverly invites Sumerset to dinner the following night where the two of them can have a "human" moment away from the precinct and start relating with each other.
I agree. But what Somerset has of experience, Mills has in youth and idealism, the same idealism Somerset has when he was younger. Mills wants to make a change, he wants to be a hero, to make something meaningful, he wants challenges, to give something to the community. Somerset is sick of the city because it will never change. The case needs of them: Somerset skill and experience and Mills energy and will to solve the case. BTW: nice contrast: streets are rotten and full of people and the library looks majestic and empty.
My second favorite movie of all time. Sadly, I've most of these books as young adult. This movie made me want to be a security officer. 13 years makes me somewhat a veteran. I remember when this movie came out. I walked 7 miles to the movie theater in the cold slight rain evening. I was happy because I had enough for a soda and popcorn. Had some Reds in my pocket all a boy can ask for. NIN>
I was 12 in 1995, and deeply troubled. I remember wanting to see this movie with my "big brother" (I lied to him and told him my mother allowed me to see R-rated movies if an adult was with me--that couldn't have been further from the truth). He actually winced at my suggestion and, shaking his head, said _"Naw, Seven's too...that movie's too gruesome, I've heard."_ That only made me want to see it more! I bought the special edition DVD of it 6 years later and watched it dozens of times. Now here I am even further along in life, debating whether to go see it in IMAX for the 30 year anniversary or not. I think...not. As beautiful as this movie is, my motives for seeing it were always due to sadistic pleasure, not artistic appreciation. And, by the grace of God, I'm in a much healthier place now than I was all those years ago.
One of the all time best scenes in film history. Morgan Freeman at his in his prime. He made that character real, believable. This movie, The Cell, 8MM, Silence of a The Lambs all have that feel to it.
I bought this on VHS, then bought it on 2-disc CD-ROM in a plastic case for for Windows 3.1, then I bought it on DVD, and now Bluray. This movie is and will always be a classic.
The original ending would've made it even bleaker. Somerset's narration was only added to lift the tone a bit. Also, if you're still into pessimistic works of art, I recommend 'Come and See'.
I was 8 when i saw that movie, years later i just remembered that part just for the beauty of this song that never left me, its crazy how a song can get into your brain even years later, thanks to the movie to let me get to know someone like J.S. Bach, thanks Mister
I finished my 12th Grade and had a lot of free time.Decided to Watch the Top 250 imdb movies.Saw Seven and thought it was a pretty Good Movie.Alot has happened since then.I Became a Doctor and have Moved to UK.One day the movie was on Tv and I had the chance to watch it Again.I had to Grow up to fully Grasp the True Brilliance of this Movie.The Score,The Cinematography,The Screenplay and the Acting,A true Harmony.I guess You appreciate the Finer things in life when you are older
This scene might be the best contrast between two characters I've seen in film. One meticulously researches based on his own knowledge, patiently taking an evening and maintaining focus throughout. The other can't focus on the material for longer than five seconds, material that was researched for him, without having a hilarious emotional eruption and literally throwing the book. Two men who both want the same thing, could not be more different.
2:27 The character that appears in Doré's engraving is Bertrand de Born, a French nobleman who sowed discord between two kings who were father and son. He is usually represented in hell with his head separated from his body and carrying it as a lantern while he laments. This is a very clear allusion to the fate of Tracey and the discord of the two male protagonists.
This scene is just majestic, Darius Khondji is an absolute master of photography! Next to the coin toss scene from No Country for Old Men, this one is in my favourite.
I love how Fincher/Pitt set up the "Wrath" of Mills at the end of this video and in other scenes when John Doe poses as a newspaper photographer. Also notice Somerset's reaction to Mills' anger throughout this amazing movie! David Fincher is one of the greatest directors ever!
9th grade English we had a substitute teacher one Friday (this was like late '01/early '02) and he played classical during our vocab quiz. He offered extra credit (no idea how he had the authority to offer this, btw) to anyone who could name what movie this Bach composition is from. No doubt this isn't the only movie but it was the answer and I was x number of points richer. Hearing this I can picture the desk I sat in. Another lifetime ago.
I feel the same way about the Internet and young kids. “A world of information at your fingertips. And what do you do? You play Fortnite and Minecraft.”
Someday, this movie will be rebooted in the future, only libraries and books will be obsolete because every book in every language will be accessible using your phone…for a price. Perhaps instead of playing poker and chatting with the fellas in a 24-hour library all night, the future will be a much more lonely place with even greater isolation without libraries or places to buy and read books. Who knows, maybe they’ll have to change the dialogue in this scene as a result? I can see it now…Instead of a library, Detective Somerset will be talking to some kid in the back of a patrol car for stealing an iPhone 77. Only this time, the line he delivers will sound something like this “A world of knowledge at your fingertips, son…and what do you do? You steal somebody’s iPhone so you can watch ‘PronHub’ and ‘Master Bates’ all day.”
For me, this is the best scene in the whole movie. I get goosebumps every time when the music is turned on. And as a german i have a site note, the same piece of music was played at the funeral of chancellor Helmut Schmidt. I watched it on tv and thought oh, thats the music from seven.
The music is Johann Sebastian Bach's Orchestral Suite #3, specifically movement #2, known in colloquial terms as "Air on the G String" composed in 1730. Bach devoted every single one of his works to God, in fact in the margins of most of his compositions he specifically wrote devotions and praises to God.
"All these books...a world of knowledge at your fingertips...What do you do? You play poker all night." This line is still relevant today with the Internet. There's so much wisdom and shared knowledge freely available to me (MIT literally posts full courses on RUclips), yet I spend hours watching meme videos. I really relate to Brad Pitt's character here, trying to get work done but then getting frustrated and distracted by other things.
The difference is that Somerset is putting himself in the mind of the killer. Mills, on the other hand is is trying to find a super clue and is thinking too hard!
despite all of the gore and the unforgettable ending, this scene specifically has always stuck with me. fincher has an unmatched eye for tactile environments and thick atmosphere.
The guards playing classical music was a great way to diegetically add the music to the scene, but I also love the moment. I think it supports Somerset's statement in the voiceover at the end of the film. Somerset teases the guards for spending their time playing poker when there's all this knowledge at their fingertips. John Doe probably would have characterized these men as lazy, or slothful. But putting on the music humanizes them. Somerset isn't really looking down on them. Sure, people can be lazy, sinful, or ignorant. But Doe chooses to see the sin. Somerset chooses to see humanity.
I seen the movie again today as a repeat obviously on TV. I am a metal thrashing mad type into Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer name but a few. That music is beautiful am nearly 50 now and maybe just maybe it takes you getting older to appreciate it. I will source it and sit down with a coffee and a book.
When I was a youth (back in the 90's) my local library played a big part in my early education. It wasn't quite like this but the Librarians knew the kids and it was something special you don't really see these days.
I could not recall where I have seen Freeman studying in the Library scene, today finally found it thanks to yt, It also recalled how good Pitt as an actor is!
I love the fact that there is this gorgeous lyrical scene of Morgan Freeman (basically God), with Bach's masterpiece playing in the background reading books in a gigantic library, followed by Brad Pit ragequitting at a book in his piece of shit car.
Funny how you come back to pieces of music because of a visual (such as in a film). This scene had such a dramatic impact not only for the choice of JSB No.3 but because throughout the film the soundtrack is kept dull, scratchy even and possibly in a low stereo or mono but for this scene where the music tracks gets the full treatment but still mixed with the guard's talking treated as the rest of the movie. Brilliant!
+ronnythe goat Oh yes...it's like losing in a video game, but with books. You have no idea what the fuck they're saying, and it makes no sense. It infuriates some people *including myself*.
Look how in that scene, Fincher, only by his direction, point out differences between the two. When he's filming Sommerset, the camera flies...When he's filming Mills, the camera is stuck. Clearly, a very smart move from David Fincher.

I couldnt agree more. My fav movie
Great composition
JS Bach
It might be a hellish crime-ridden city, but I still have to admire the 24 hour library
Fore Sur I think the library was closed he just knew the security guards
It was not 24/7 open the security guards did him a favor. I'm surprised that a library would need that many guards.
Love the way how it looks!
@@natalieps2387 Well like they say, knowledge is powerful. The have to guard that stuff. Can't have to many people getting in and learning.
A: The library is closed and Det. Somerset knew the guard.
B: Those are guards are from other locations, off/on other locations, at the library drinking and playing cards.
C: I'm guessing the guard in the suit has the overnight library gig.
This clip always makes me go back to my reading.
"How is this for culture?", brilliant!
Epic scene
"We got culture coming out our ass!!"
That's Fincher for ya
@@Busenlilly" Fuckin Dante!!!!!!"- Brad sold being an ignoramus as a Detective........so amazingly........
As a youth, this scene was incredible. As an adult it's somehow even better. The dialog, the music, the camera angles. Perfection.
I was underage when I saw this had to sneak in it was intense I was like 16.
This scene is one of the best I have ever seen... The comparison between the old and young detective... their different workplaces, their different outfit, their different mood, their different work data (books vs crimes pictures), how one loves time is passing, absorbed in the books, but the other hates his night..., how one is drinking a beer but the other prefer the solitude of a library instead going with the poker players... And finally... all the answers are waiting for us in the books... that envelope says that, while a classical song of Bach is playing.
I admire how Fincher built this... I just love it.
The dark/light lighting also helps.
4 minutes of light and grace in this dark dark movie.
@TheWiseMonkey8888 😅😂🤣 thank you for the laugh
Not even because you see some creepy illustrations and book extracts... Truely dark movie from start to finish...
Exactly " how's this for culture 🎶
The scene that makes me want sit down with a glass of brandy, and devour my library. So peaceful.

Favorite scene in the film. Absolute perfection of dialogue, music, editing, and cinematography.
They don't make movies like this anymore
I love the ability that freeman has to portray of, intelligence, personality, and wisdom, all his characters.
God's honest truth.
And Brad got to play the "dumb" white guy. All of the janitors were white, even at the police station. The security guards were witty. The DA, pathologist and fingerprint analysis expert were black.
No smartphones or laptops, only books, notebooks and pen. Beautiful 😍
💗
Maybe because this was in 1995.
The beauty of this scene has nothing to do with smartphones or laptops
ok boomer
It's not about the gadgets, they distract themselves with poker. So man himself is the problem, not what he chooses to distract himself with.

Beautifully put, an amazing deduction. Love those last few seconds, Mills showing his ignorance
Just reread this, now watching the movie again, it's an absolute masterpiece

Sad they don't make movies like these anymore.
Great scene from an all time classic movie. Life can be so peaceful at times amid chaos.
Am I alone with this or does anybody else feel the urge to read and study some books after watching this scene?
Since I am white, I require Cliff Notes. White people too dumb to read n sheeeeit. Thanks, Hollywood!

This music is so fantastic thanks
Just watched Loki episode 2 which referenced this scene. I knew I recognized the music + library combination from somewhere.

I seen the movie again today as a repeat obviously on TV. I am a metal thrashing mad type into Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer name but a few.

beautiful....morgan freeman you are a legend.
I'm not normally a library person, but I would love to be there. It's so calming and beautiful.
The short scene at the end with Mills ranting in the car is pretty good as well ;).
I love the fact that there is this gorgeous lyrical scene of Morgan Freeman (basically God), with Bach's masterpiece playing in the background reading books in a gigantic library, followed by Brad Pit ragequitting at a book in his piece of shit car.
Beautiful background music
Funny how you come back to pieces of music because of a visual (such as in a film).

Brilliant!
A great science, what a contract to all the other horror. Great performance of Morgan and Bach!
"how's this for culture", brilliant...
Just watched this again I forgot just how great this movie was.
I absolutely love this song.
Whenever I hear this piece of Bach music I can't help but think of Stromberg dropping his treacherous secretary into that shark pool
one of the scenes that really got me into reading
Such a beautiful scene for a Dark movie
Strong words from wise man, love Freeman
This classic piece of music so soothing when stressed out
I never wondered what the music’s name. I like it to stay this way. A little mysterious.
So libraries were the internet before the internet?
4:46 That moment would have devastated my English professor in college!
Feel sooo peaceful,calm..This music plus library
Being a night guard at that library is my dream job
You got culture comin out your ass?
LOKI episode 2 just paid homage to this in a very awesome way
One used the knowledge he already he had in front of him and the other looked for knowledge to add.
Song: Bach - Suite No. 3 in D Major, BWV 1068 Air
Where can I find this song
Sumerset is oozing mentor energy.
Why can’t movies be made like this anymore?
The pictures of Hell are so atmospheric and graphic.
Letting the audience know the worst to be seen is on the way
The security guard who let Somerset in reminds me of the father from Ice Age.

God save the bankers lamp! 😍
Look how in that scene, Fincher, only by his direction, point out differences between the two. When he's filming Sommerset, the camera flies...When he's filming Mills, the camera is stuck. Clearly, a very smart move from David Fincher.
