Pride: John Doe glues a phone to a woman’s hand, then glues a bottle of sleeping pills to her other hand, then cuts off her nose so she has to decide between living as a disfigured person or dying. “Sloth” doesn’t die in the movie, but he’s pretty dead. Sloth: John Doe strapped a drug dealer and child molester to a bed for a year, causing his body to atrophy - even his brain, which gets described as “mush” by a doctor. Greed: John Doe forced a lawyer to cut off a pound of flesh from his own body, causing him to bleed out and die. Gluttony: John Doe force-fed a man an excessive amount of food and then kicked him in the stomach, causing it to explode, killing him. One thing to note here is that John Doe’s Venn diagram maybe should have included another tiny circle to intersect with the main circle indicating how incredibly intelligent and calculating he was, but, I mean, if there were an instance in Albert Einstein’s life where he force-fed an obese man for many days and then kicked him in the stomach and killed him, I don’t imagine too many people would’ve ended up spending very much time talking about how smart he was, you know what I’m saying?

It overachieves stylistically and philosophically, which is probably the nicest thing that can be said about a movie in which a pregnant woman gets her head lopped off and then sent through a courier service. Even conversations that aren’t directly about him (like, say, when Mills’s wife, Tracy, reveals to Somerset that she is pregnant and is unsure about whether she should keep the baby) become conversations that are indirectly about him (Mills expresses his concern about bringing a baby into a world where an evil like John Doe can exist).
Another example: Every conversation that happens in the movie is about John Doe. So rather than it being a place where a killer happens to live, it becomes a place that exists only so the killer can kill. One would assume it’s New York, or maybe Chicago, I suppose, but we never find out for certain, and so there’s no way to assign any sort of outside context to it.
For example, the city that they’re in, this amorphous and endlessly bleak and wet background - do you know what city they’re in? You don’t. What I mean is, everything that happens in Se7en is set up in relation to the momentum of the psychopath at its center. And I don’t imagine that was an accident. It would seem like that’s an oversimplification of the plot, but it’s actually not, because that’s the whole movie.

The universe is amazing.Ī very quick recap of Se7en: two detectives, the young and fresh Mills (Brad Pitt) and the old and weathered Somerset (Morgan Freeman), attempt to chase down a serial killer named John Doe (Kevin Spacey) who is staging murders around the seven deadly sins. Guess what they’re called? Se7enn Diagrams. The movie Se7en celebrates its 20th anniversary today. Sometimes things make so much sense that they become unavoidable, or inevitable, or at least easier to write about. Sometimes things are complicated, or a reach, or far-fetched, or an eyes-closed grasp.
