Se7en

Se7en is a movie that reminds you of that deep primitive fear that we should have about the world we live in. In the animal kingdom it is a simple survivor scenario where death is a natural part of the environment. As humans we don’t openly kill each other for food but there still is a competition where each human is against all the others in the world. We kill in instances of anger or fear for our lives and we see murder as a dirty thing no matter how you cut it. There is no good way or good reason to kill another human being. As a society we kill as punishment and to deter crime but it is not an open sport. Se7en is about showing us the evil in our world that is closer than we want to believe, and how often times it parades around as religion. Spacy plays a crazy religious zealot who sets out to punish those who commit the seven deadly sins. Brad Pitt plays the perfect up and coming detective with a family still believing in all the good in the world. Only he finds that it is a dark and dirty place full of evil and malice. So the moral of the story is; read your bible, keep your head on a swivel and don’t break those seven deadly sins.
