Se7en

In class and out of class we had to watch the movie se7en and write an essay on it.  Luckily this movie was very interesting and wasn't a normal boring movie that professors make you watch.  Throughout this movie two investigators were solving a series of murders that ended up being motivated by the seven deadly sins, wrath, greed, lust, gluttony, envy, prude, and sloth.  The two investigators, Somerset and Mills played by Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman were very diverse from one another.  This made some comical scenes in the movie between the two.  Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this movie because I love crime scene and investigative movies so I was relieved when we were told to watch it.  For my essay I have decided to write about the seven deadly sins and write about the movie's interpretation of these sins!  Like Somerset in the movie I am familiar with Dante's inferno and the Canterbury Tales, and many more that we saw Somerset research in the movie.  At the end when we realized that Mills had yelled at the photographer not realizing it was the killer I knew he had hurt his wife because Mills spelled out his name and caused a huge scene.  Even though the movie was made in 1995 in reality it still was not that hard to find out where one lived, etc.  The very end when Mills and Somerset took John Doe, the killer, to a field where at exactly the same time a van was brought with a package for Mills with his wife's head.  Overall this was a very good movie that I recommend everyone watch even if you're not required to!
