Seven (stylized as Se7en) is a 1995 American neo-noir psychological crime thriller film directed by David Fincher and starring Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt as homicide detectives William Somerset and David Mills.In an unnamed American metropolis where the crime rate is high and it is seemingly always raining, Somerset is about to retire and be replaced by Mills in the department, but the two get caught up in a string of horrible murders, each inspired by the Seven Deadly Sins and all caused by one intelligent and elusive Serial Killer.Released to great success, the film effectively resurrected Fincher's interest in filmmaking after the infamously Troubled Production of Alien³, and is often ranked with The Silence of the Lambs and Psycho as the pinnacle of serial killer fiction, with its distinctive dark atmosphere and skillful balance of Gory Discretion Shots creating a far more disturbing product than the Gorn films that try and emulate it.A comic book series also titled Se7en and published by Zenescope Entertainment tells the events of the film from the viewpoint of the killer, and also explores the backstories of the killer's victims.Fincher and the film's writer, Andrew Kevin Walker, would eventually reunite after 28 years for Fincher's 2023 film The Killer.

Artistic License – Gun Safety
 Se7en / int_10134c97
comment
Artistic License – Gun Safety: Mills is seen failing to observe proper trigger discipline in several instances, such as the chase scene with John Doe. Justified in this instance, as it helps establish that he is an impulsive and hotheaded Cowboy Cop in contrast to the more restrained Somerset.

Failed a Spot Check: Almost nobody seems to notice John Doe walking into the police station, literally red-handed, shirt splattered with blood, until he shouts "Detective!". A cop even walks past him at arm's length. You can see a single black guy stop and stare at Doe right before he shouts, but by that point, Doe's already in the middle of the hall.

Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer/Not Named in Opening Credits: Kevin Spacey. He was the one who insisted that he not be associated with the film in any way until it was released. The producers actually wanted him to have top billing. As a result of this, his name is the very first thing seen during the closing credits; the second line is, "Cast (in order of appearance)." He also said it worked to his advantage since that meant he didn't have to appear on talk shows and stuff to promote the movie.

Tomato in the Mirror: Of a sort. It turns out that Wrath is Mills himself. When John Doe promises to take him to the field, we've already seen Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Pride, and Lust, and we know that Envy and Wrath have to be on the way. Envy is John Doe, who beheaded Mills's wife in a fit of jealousy. When Mills finds out, he kills John Doe in a fit of rage, ultimately obeying Doe's command to "Become Wrath".

Insanity Defense
 Se7en / int_2f913008
comment
Insanity Defense: Upon turning himself in, John Doe says that if Mills and Somerset accept his deal of escorting him to the location of the last two victims, he will plead guilty to all charges. If, however, they don't accept his deal, he will plead insanity. His lawyer points out that, given the sheer extremity of Doe's crimes, such a plea would have a good chance of succeeding. Somerset then counters that, if they brought him to court, Doe's lawyer threatening to plead insanity would itself be admissible as evidence against Doe (that is, the fact that Doe was mentally acute enough to recognize that pleading insanity might be a good idea would be good evidence that he was, in fact, sane). Doe, of course, freely admits that he doesn't believe he's insane (and Somerset agrees with him, although Mills does not), which isn't to say he and his lawyer wouldn't be able to convince a jury otherwise.

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot
 Se7en / int_44989f6f
comment
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: After the third victim is found, a photographer shows up at the crime scene, takes photos of Mills and Somerset, then leaves after Mills yells at him and shoves him. When Mills and Somerset locate John Doe's apartment the next day, they find the photos from the crime scene being developed in his dark room and realize that the photographer was Doe himself. If they had arrested him for trespassing, in theory, they could have prevented the last four murders in the film. Mills is even foolish and impulsive enough to tell the photographer his surname, which allows him to track down Tracy.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Several remarks about the plot throughout could very easily be used to apply to the film itself. At one point, Somerset tells Mills that "this isn't gonna have a happy ending." Doe towards the end, describing the effect his full plan (read: the climax of the movie) will have on the world, especially in contrast to Mills's claims that it won't be remembered in two months' time.

To Know Him, I Must Become Him: Somerset spends a good portion of the film trying to get inside the killer's mind, and urging Mills to do the same.

Downer Ending
 Se7en / int_4e3d253b
comment
Downer Ending: Tracy (and her and Mills's unborn child) is senselessly murdered by John Doe, and Mills in turn kills Doe — with both him and Somerset knowing that's exactly what Doe wanted, since his murder of Tracy symbolized Envy (as he claimed to covet Mills's "family man" life), and Mills killing him would, in turn, symbolize Wrath, completing his plan. Mills is then arrested, a hollow, traumatized husk of a man. While the film tries to end on a relatively optimistic note with Somerset's (studio-mandated) Hemingway coda, it seems awfully futile in the face of what's occurred.

Furthermore, there's a helicopter nearby with California and the SWAT team. But Doe has a box delivered to the area, and Somerset opens it and looks in.... Shortly after, John opts to break the news before Somerset can and tells Mills about how he entered his home, met Tracy, and then when things went sour...

Body Horror: While many of the victims' bodies are left in bloodily mutilated states, Gluttony and Sloth are distinctly disfigured from the inside out upon discovery, the former extremely bloated with darkened veins, and the latter emaciated past the point of human recognition.

Jitter Cam: What with Fincher's predilection to controlled, locked-down tripod shots, this film stands out as the one with his highest use of handheld camerawork. It's only used in a handful of scenes, such as when Mills chases Doe through his apartment complex, or when Somerset opens the box, realizes what Doe's plan is, and immediately runs over to him and Mills in an effort to prevent his plan from being completed.

Homoerotic Subtext: When they're waiting for Somerset's FBI contact, Mills asks why they couldn't sit opposite each other because sitting next to each other makes it look like they're dating, and near the end, there's a scene where they're both shaving their chests, and Mills jokingly comments that if he keeps coming home late, his wife is going to get suspicious. In a Deleted Scene, Mills tells Somerset, "Just don't jerk me off, okay?" Somerset answers that he'll get Mills up to speed on how the department operates, give him whatever bits of wisdom he can... "...but jerking off is something you'll have to do yourself." Mills can't help laughing.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: The name of the Pride victim is written on the label for the bottle of sleeping pills glued to her hand. Pausing the film when the photographer shows up at the Sloth victim's apartment reveals him to be John Doe, as Mills and Somerset discover later. While Mills is deliberating over whether or not to kill John Doe for murdering his wife and unborn child, we see a split-second flash of Tracy's face, at which point he is pushed over the edge and pulls the trigger.

Where the Hell Is Springfield?: The name of the city is never specified. At one point, Tracy mentions that she and David used to live "upstate," presumably referring to upstate New York, and screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker said that the screenplay was heavily inspired by his time spent in New York City, except that the movie's location is apparently an hour's car ride from the arid desert, which is not true of NYC.

Gambit Roulette: John Doe's plan hinges upon: the police finding the Gluttony message behind the fridge, the Sloth victim not being discovered ahead of time, the police finding the message hidden behind the painting in Gould's office, the police being able to connect the fingerprints behind the painting to the Sloth victim, the police finding the Sloth victim on the appropriate day, the Pride victim choosing to kill herself, the package containing Tracy's head arriving at the scene at the right time, somebody actually opening the package and seeing its contents (one of the cops in the helicopter, upon seeing the package, radios for the bomb squad to be brought in - why would this not be Somerset's first assumption?), and convincing Mills to kill John Doe, without anyone intervening. Additionally, practically every murder takes place in a location where someone could have easily interrupted John Doe before completing the murder in question (Somerset notes that John Doe left the scene of the Gluttony murder twice in order to buy more spaghetti sauce, and hand waves no one interrupting the Greed murder with the Bystander Syndrome) - he was extraordinarily lucky that no one did so.

Foreshadowing

comment
Foreshadowing: The very opening scene itself packs a lot of this, like John Doe shaving to avoid leaving fingerprints, the various victims & their apparent sins, and the pregnancy article. On the way to the Gluttony crime scene, Mills wonders whether anyone has confirmed that the victim is dead. Later, everyone assumes that Sloth is dead, but it turns out that he's alive. After John Doe surrenders, the tech mentions "three blood types" found on John Doe. For John Doe himself, the Pride victim, and Tracy Mills. During his research, Somerset encounters two images of decapitation. In this scene, Tracy is framed in an extremely tight close-up that only shows her head. As Somerset drives to the desert, John Doe distinctly tells Mills "You won't miss a thing", referring to the culmination of his plan that Mills will witness and the family he was distant from that has already been murdered. On their way to apprehend Victor, Mills and Somerset have a conversation in which Somerset admits that he has never fired his gun in the line of duty, while Mills has fired his. This foreshadows the ending, in which Somerset draws his gun and fires a warning shot to stop the courier and Mills shoots John Doe. Somerset's Milton quote — "Long is the way and hard, that out of Hell leads up to the light" — is at the beginning of the movie's descent into the bowels of the city/hell. Bright daylight is not seen again until the climax of the movie.

My Death Is Just the Beginning: John Doe is adamant that his work will commence a bigger revolution. Mills is quick to dismiss this theory, telling him that he's "a Movie of the Week, at best", but considering the lasting legacy of this film, perhaps he was correct in a different sense.

Chekhov's Skill: Somerset has a dart board in both his office and at home. He's established to carry a switchblade and is seen practicing his aim by throwing the knife at a dart board. In spite of all this setup, his throwing skill never comes into play. In the script, he was supposed to throw his knife at John Doe to stop him from shooting Mills, but this was cut.

No Warrant? No Problem!: A point of dispute between Mills and Somerset after they find John Doe's apartment. Hot-headed Mills claims that the fact that Doe shot at them should be reason enough to force themselves into his apartment while the latter reminds him that they still needed a warrant first and entering without one would risk Doe getting Off on a Technicality. Mills wins out by kicking the door open with his boot.

Internal Reveal: At one point in the film, Somerset and Tracy meet up, and he's the first and (as far as we know) only person to hear that she's pregnant (albeit unsure as to whether she wants the baby). It comes back in the climax when John Doe is explaining to Mills how he killed Tracy, and goes out of his way to state that "[Tracy] begged for her life...she begged for her life, and for the life of the baby inside of her." While Mills is merely in anger and denial upon Doe's initial confession, it's this bombshell that sends him into a state of shock, despair...and wrath. Then, just to twist the knife further, Doe casually tells Somerset:

Shout-Out
 Se7en / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Mills tells his wife "Serpico's got to go." The greed murder (a pound of flesh) is a reference to The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare. The killer writes a line from Paradise Lost by John Milton behind the refrigerator of the first victim: "Long is the way and hard, that out of hell leads up to light." In the library, Somerset looks for The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer and The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. Mills tries to read The Divine Comedy in his car. During the dinner at Mills's, the detectives realize that these books inspired the killer. Mills says about the killer: "Just because the fucker's got a library card doesn't make him Yoda." Somerset and Mills identify John Doe because he borrowed The Divine Comedy, Paradise Lost, Helter Skelter, In Cold Blood, Of Human Bondage, works by the Marquis de Sade and Thomas Aquinas. When Mills and Somerset are knocking on John Doe's apartment, Mills petulantly grumbles that he feels like one of "Charlie's fuckin' Angels". There is a store called Wild Bill's Leather Shop.

Cruel Mercy: John Doe has already proven himself to be a monumentally depraved piece of work with the sheer methodical cruelty of his various killings. When he corners Detective Mills during a downtown chase in the rain, he leaves him alive in what appears to be a random moment of mercy. It turns out that he had already been stalking the detectives who were pursuing him for some time. He had far greater plans for Mills in mind; decapitating his wife Tracy out of Envy and making him the final piece in his murder set by letting Mills kill him out of Wrath.

While not as bad as many examples of the trope, Somerset and Mills do resort to some slightly underhanded methods in their pursuit of Doe, such as illegally tracking Doe's reading habits (the film was made before The War on Terror made invasions of privacy like this the rule rather than the exception) or bribing a homeless woman to provide false witness in order to secure a warrant to search Doe's apartment.

Convenient Photograph: The lawyer's wife noticed a flipped painting in the photograph taken at her husband's crime scene. There was no clear reason for the painting to have been photographed specifically since its importance to the case was only due to the wife recognizing it was upside-down.

Unbuilt Trope
 Se7en / int_f0e85546
comment
Unbuilt Trope: The film helped to popularize the archetypal '90s and 2000s serial killer-based Psychological Thriller, primarily through the Theme Serial Killer premise, but goes out of its way to avert or subvert many of the tropes the genre/premise would become associated with: the murders are not shown in detail and given very little screen time, the victims are not depicted as being given karmic punishment despite the killer's delusions, but instead being ordinary if flawed people who were brutally murdered by an unhinged sadist for little provocation, there is little blood and gore, the killer is not given a Freudian Excuse or much characterization, Police Are Useless, and The Bad Guy Wins.

Dingy Trainside Apartment
 Se7en / int_f95439a9
comment
Dingy Trainside Apartment: Mills and his wife live in an apartment foisted on them by a dodgy real estate agent who kept hustling them through on inspection so they wouldn't notice the trains passing by like clockwork throughout the night and day. Somerset can't help finding this Actually Pretty Funny. And the noise of the trains gives John Doe cover to murder Mills's wife.

Sympathy for the Hero: John Doe comes to admire the main detectives after they surprise him by showing up at his house despite how careful he was to leave no clues. This is not a good thing for them. At all.
