jk.

Does this movie scare anyone else EVERY TIME you watch it? It's such an original horror movie, though its not just horror. It's got mystery, suspense, action, and noir in there somewhere. But what i mean by original horror film is that the movie has few jumps or surprises, but gives you and leaves you scared. I have seen the movie multiple times, and I still get chills at the last scene, and it stilll leaves me with a creepy feeling. Which is why I'm still awake at 2:40 writing this. Any thoughts on the movie?

The only reason it freaks me out is because it's disturbing how it can actually happen in real life.

That-Guy

12-24-2003, 08:47 AM

Yeah, the thought that a "John Doe" actually may exist somewhere out there is scary as hell.

Se7en is a ****ing brilliant movie. It should be in everyone's DVD collection.

Yeah... but I only have the VHS. Are the alternate endings on the DVD any good? I haven't seen them.

Last I heard it was going to be Freman hunting down this killer who can read minds or something stupid like that.
I hope that it doesn't ever happen.

I hope they do it, then they throw some crappy storyline about spiders, then they get sued by the eight legged freaks dudes, then the whole film gets forgotten since it sucked so bad and no one related it to Se7eN in any way. :o

On a side note, Andrew Kevin Walker wrote 8mm after Seven, and it was about a deranged and perverted killer. Coincidence?

Love the film. Great performance by me. Of course, I wasn't credited since my blueprint, Kevin Spacey, said it was him, when it was actually I, his rvil clone, who was in it, just like in Usual Suspects and American Beauty and L.A. Confedential.:mad:

OK, after doing some research, I have discovered that I was indeed joking around with you. It was a bit of a daunting task really. I had to peruse through the jumbled storehouse of my cognative mind. I found a few albums with refferences to jokes, and everything seems to check out.

It was actually gonna be called Solace. And Paul Verhoven was supposedly supposed to direct it. But there hasn't been any other news about the movie since that. Good thing too because it was rumored that Morgan Freeman's character was gonna get pyschic powers....

I made this thread so we could take about the movie here.
I think Se7en is one of the very best movies ever made, it is bloody brilliant. The story is amazing and the cast and acting is stunning too. I also must say that this one of the most exciting movies I have ever seen. The end was just too exciting to describe.

Also the sets and locations are brilliant, the city is so dark and you don't know where the hell it is.'
The location of the end is just surrealistic..and so awesome.

I LOVE this movie.

01-15-2005, 02:19 PM

The ending was awesome.I liked it.:up:

Dark Donnie

01-15-2005, 02:22 PM

I have to second this, some great acting ( Freeman, Pitt, and especially Spacey), and great direction by Fincher. The city really is great, always raining and dark. The chemistry between Mills and Somerset is awesome! This movie is truly brilliant!

Carmine Falcone

01-15-2005, 02:23 PM

As did I, the pictures of him over the period of time are sick as well. You see him deteriorating over the course of time.

logan_weapon_x

01-15-2005, 02:33 PM

Se7en for me suffers the same thing as movies like American Psycho and Fight Club. I love all three, yet for some reason i always seem to get bored with hearing about them if you know what I mean. Not so much bored talking about them but rather they get talked about to death.

Love the film though.

Carmine Falcone

01-15-2005, 02:34 PM

The movie doesn't have 1 single bad or boring scene in it IMO. The scene in which Mills and Somerset are standing in front of the door of John Doe's apartment and Doe comes walking into the hallway, he sees them and shoots on them and then the abnormally exciting chase through the City is awesome.
When they entered the home of Doe, that was disturbing all those note books with his sick stories in it. And then HE CALLS...creepy.......

I can go on and on saying how much i like this movie.

Dark Donnie

01-15-2005, 02:36 PM

I know what you mean, but I really don't hear about Se7en as much as I do American Psycho or Fight Club. Those two(at least American Psycho) are probably the most talked about on these boards. I think Se7en is the superior of the three films BTW.

Carmine Falcone

01-15-2005, 02:37 PM

yeah I think Fight Club is amazing too. But Se7en owns it. :mad::up:

Dark Donnie

01-15-2005, 02:38 PM

Did you know that All of John Doe's books were real books, written for the film. They took two months to complete and cost $15,000. Saw this over at IMDB. That is ridiculous!

Carmine Falcone

01-15-2005, 02:41 PM

holy ****! that is really weird.

Carmine Falcone

01-15-2005, 02:47 PM

regular copy

btw: from IMDB:

New Line executives originally balked at the film's ending, but Brad Pitt refused to make the film if the ending were changed.

Way to go Pitt :up:

01-15-2005, 02:49 PM

Don't get me wrong guys. I love the film as well.

Dark Donnie

01-15-2005, 02:50 PM

The endings really aren't that different, just shot different, different music, some scenes are taken out some little things added nothing drastic though. The platinum edition is also cool cause it looks like one of John Doe's notebooks. :)

Dark Donnie

01-15-2005, 02:50 PM

You should pick up the platinum edition, it's worth it. It has alternate endings extended scenes commentary from Pitt Freeman and Fincher, and a bunch of creepy pictures.

01-15-2005, 05:10 PM

I thought it was a very good movie, but Pitt's performance came off kind of phony and borderline annoying, IMO:spidey:.

01-16-2005, 12:34 AM

I liked the storyboard ending. It's on the special deluxe DVD or whatever. It's cool. I don't like it as much as the theatrical, but I like seeing what the original concept was like.
I don't want to spoil anything, not even with spoiler tags, but its a bit different. :up:

Actually, Se7en is a gret film. I just lent that to someone last week.
If David Fincher only ever did Fight Club I would still consider him a genius, but he has Se7en on top of that!

Carmine Falcone

Great direction, exciting scenes (the ending always steals my breath..) awesome performances. One of my favorite movies.

raybia

12-10-2005, 12:09 PM

This is a brilliant movie. One of the best films ever. It had been a long time since I last watched it, and it's still a great film (even though some stupid bastard ruined the ending for me before the first time I watched it).

But honestly, this is a must-watch film. One of the greatest films of the 90s. Everything from story to acting to directing is top-notch.

What do you guys think of Se7en?

One of the best films ever. A real classic. Ever since I first saw it I thought this would have been a great script for a hardcore Batman movie with the John Doe character as the Riddler. I guess that would be too extense for the kiddies!

raybia

12-10-2005, 12:11 PM

I still would like to see a sequel to this with Fincher directing.

Pitt's character has gone wacko and becomes kind of a vigilante with horrific ways of killing his prey. Freeman's character is called out of retirement to help track him down and bring him in alive.

The Chairman

12-10-2005, 12:12 PM

Se7en is an amazing movie. It was one of the few thrillers that truly disturbed me (Saw and Natural Born Killers, the latter of which I never sawm did the same), and I think that's why it's so good.

And Spacey was awesome. It was also one of the only times I ever truly enjoyed Brad Pitt's acting.

09-10-2006, 10:27 AM

I think it's one of the most atmospheric films Ive ever seen,the ending is a real gut punch and the ominous sense of dread never lifts the whole movie

It's more like like you breathe with the movie rather than watch it as entertainment,its unrelenting and the scariest film Ive ever seen

Jolie_Desastre

09-10-2006, 10:29 AM

Carmine Falcone

09-10-2006, 10:32 AM

For me, it's still hard to watch the sloth scene. That really defines disturbing.

Cinemaman

The only think, which I couldn't understand was:

Why did Doe kill Mills wife? She didn't have any sin. So what was the point of this murder?

Byrd Man

09-10-2006, 11:02 AM

The only think, which I couldn't understand was:

Why did Doe kill Mills wife? She didn't have any sin. So what was the point of this murder?

Because Kevin Spacey coveted her and that was his sin, so he Killed her to make Mills kill him in rage, wrath was the last sin and Mills was responsible for it

Hunter Rider

09-10-2006, 11:03 AM

The only think, which I couldn't understand was:

Why did Doe kill Mills wife? She didn't have any sin. So what was the point of this murder?

He killed her as the sin jealousy b/c he was jealous of the life Mills had with his wife and soon the be child,He then wanted Pitt to kill him as the sin of wrath to complete the masterpiece

Se7en is no exception reallly. I actually found 4 threads discussing Se7en using the search function.
And i'm gonna in fact bumb all of them just to show how long this stuff has been discussed.

It's okay , but do you really think Se7en hasn't been discussed . It being such a popular movie .
If i can contact a mod or anything ( is there a way to contact all mods as opposed to just one :confused:) , we can merge those threads :up:

The only way to do that is the report button but that is for trolls or Flame posts as opposed to duplicates

The thing with the search function is that it didn't work for a long time and now even though it works i often go to use it and it just turns the screen white instead of searching for the topic im after,ive had to search ppl's and my own profiles to find threads to post new info in :mad: :(

I know the search fuction did suck , but IMO it does work well nowadays.
Still not what it should be , but it works. You just need a little patience to browse thru the results which in this case just took 3 minutes really.

Oh and thnx for the info on the mods hunter. Guess i have to just report to to one mod then

matrix_ghost

09-10-2006, 11:29 AM

Why are there 4 threads on seven on the front page alone?

BEcause i wanted to show that the search function does work and we don't need like 10 different threads to discuss the same thing.
If people can complain about SW having 60 different threads , then it also applies to this topic :)

EXCELSIOR

09-10-2006, 12:16 PM

OK, the 4 Se7en threads have all been merged...
And all was right with the world!

LEX

09-10-2006, 02:23 PM

Kevin Spacey ROCKS in Se7en, and that is, in no way, an exaggeration, especially when John Doe was talking to Mills about his victims in the car. That was pure brilliant acting from Spacey there.
Should've been nominated for more than a mere Oscar.

if he wouldnt kill him then it would not be seven but six.

i mean spacey was 6 and pitt was seven. this was briliant. it was amazing.

i had to go read the comments because i watched the movie ...........again

01-12-2008, 06:26 AM

Haven't seen this flick in a long, long time. I really wonder if I'll like it as much as I used to. Reading back my posts in this thread, I can see I was really smitten with the movie then. But that was when I first got into movies, and every new movie I saw was something special. I'm afraid I've become a bit more ehm...strict about movies. Just by seeing so many other great films.

The best thing about SE7EN is how down to earth every scene is. It's down to earth, and very realistic, but rarely boring. And what the movie suggests about human nature is just...chilling.

The Guard

01-12-2008, 05:47 PM

As great as the movie is, I wanted to see what would have been done with SOLACE, the crime/suspense/thriller that studios wanted to make into a sequel to SE7EN with Morgan Freeman starring.

But still, that malnourished guy strapped to the bed is the most disgusting and scary part for me

All in all, this movie is in a word : TEH GREATNESS
Great cast
Great plot
Great lines
Great surprises and villain (one of my favorite actors!)
Great atmosphere, images, sense of suspense

One of Fincher's finest for sure, along side with Fight Club!

Great great movie.....hadn't seen it in years...and it was edited for TV too then :huh:

I need to buy the SE DVD. :o

03-01-2008, 01:38 PM

I love this film. Obviously Freeman is exceptional along with Spacey and to a degree Pitt and Paltrow (in her limited role). The story is great as is the dialogue, but the way that film is shot is one of the most remarkable things about it. Fincher sets the mood and keeps you there. It's dark, disturbing, rainy, disgusting, filthy, and creepy. Then just when he allows you to see the sunshine, the outside world, out in the open, he finishes you off with the shocker.

Absoultely briliant!

William_C

03-01-2008, 02:37 PM

My sister put me on to this movie when I was in middle school. I've been watching good movies since :) I really like it. Fincher really knows how to make the environment come to life. I hated the ending though! Not that it was bad, but just that Doe had killed Pitt's wife, head in the box. Sad ending.
