Okay so Seven is a great movie and all........Paltrow, Pitt, Freeman, Spacey....all awesome actors and awesome performances. The writing was great, direction as well down to the NIN looking openning credits. My gripe lies however in the conclusion. Kevin Spacey's John Doe is killing off people in New York, in reflection to their sin. So count of the deadly Sins with me and the victims.....
1. Gluttony--fat guy--fed until he burst
2. Greed--lawyer--bled to death
3. Sloth--Victor, drug dealer--tied to bed and starved for a year
4. Pride--Beauty queen--suicide (ate pills when given a choice between living on deformed or dying instead)
5. Lust--Blonde whore--fucked with the knife strap on
6. Envy--Kevin Spacey's John Doe--Shot by Det. Mills (upon revealing how he admired him, and cut off his wifes head)
7. Wrath--Brad Pitt's Det. David Mills-- ?????
Soooo... Spacey's sin was envy and he died for it by the hand of Pitt. Now Pitt embodies wrath and that is his of the 7 deadly sins. So in order for the 7 deaths and completion of Spacey's work....Pitt's character should die for his sin in some reflective manner. Unless he is put to death by the state or somethin it is left undone....he is taken away in the back of a cruiser at the end and the cheif says he will try to get him the best help and it ends....so i have always felt is is unfinished. thats all.
