The film with a very short English name is always ranked in the top of the best and most brain hacking movies of all time is also a typical film for the investigation genre. Listening to just like that, Ghat revew felt very fond of it and had to find it to see the movie that hit theaters 24 years ago. Come on, let's join WebTech360 Se7en movie - 7 deadly sins to see if the movie is as good as the rumors are about.

Plot: In the Bible , people are often committed to the following seven sins: Gluttony, Greed, Laziness, Pride, Lust, Envy and Wrath . A murderer has found that these 7 sins are always hidden in today's society, so he has replaced God to punish those who he thinks is the most obvious representative of the 7 crimes mentioned above. The first case occurred related to the crime of gluttony by veteran Somerset inspector and new inspector Mills assigned to handle. From here, a series of cases based on the first 7 crimes respectively occur, challenging the inspectors and the police to find the portrait of the villain behind.

The beauty of the movie's content is that it relies on 7 human sins to kill. We humans are attracted to things that have rules and especially those with religious and spiritual colors that make viewers curious. Actually, the cases in the movie are very accurate depictions of the sins in the Bible , thereby helping the viewer feel the cruelty of the perpetrator as well as waiting to see who will die and which crime corresponds to the scene. next.

Due to the specificity of a crime detective movie, the atmosphere of investigation, tension, mystery and drama covers the entire film and is sometimes stretched a bit long and slowly, but the film circuit is still quite easy to watch, much better. are theatrical dramas of the same era as The Silence of the Sheeps . The plot of the movie that becomes the most interesting is about the second half of the film and especially the ending.

The ending of Se7en has always been considered one of the most shocking in the history of cinema and it helps viewers understand the intelligence and great plot of the killer. WebTech360 has seen many films in the series of serial killers, so the ending story is very good, but not too surprising or haunting as many commented. Perhaps at the time of Se7en's debut, not many movies could do that, so the ending was praised like that.

However, it must be admitted that without this ending (the studio asked the film crew to change the script because the original ending was too horrible, but the filmmakers insisted on protecting this scenario) then perhaps 7 deadly sins just stop at a normal criminal movie, but it is impossible to lot the top 100 best movies of all time of IMDB .

The film not only stops at the crime or plot of murder, but it is also a place for filmmakers to send a lot of messages and perspectives into this life. Hearing the words the killer shares in the movie, more or less of you will agree with his thoughts about these 7 sins always exist in each of us, how important we control it? Or just one day too dark, that part of your sin will explode? After watching the movie, WebTech360 believes you will have to reflect on yourself.

There are many other meanings hidden in the movie that I think it will be better for you to see and see for yourself. The film is very logical, so if you pay close attention or watch it over and over a few times, you will see the subtleties in the smallest details, but it reinforces the coherence of the film. However, the cases in the movie are not fully explained how the perpetrator acts, so more or less it has not created a convincing and a sense of criticism for viewers.

Some of you will wonder why the perpetrator will kill that person when it comes to the wrongdoer, but for the crime of Jealousy and Wrath, it no longer follows that principle? I would like to explain to you that the principle is still correct, guys, try to look carefully, pay attention to each episode and link it together, you will see that the perpetrators will be punished for death. or it hurts more than you die. WebTech360 marks this section 8.5 / 10 .

Image : 7 deadly sins have quite a gore and violent image, especially scenes depicting corpses, horror and disgust, so if you are weak of heart, consider it. Although these scenes appear with little frequency. The film was in 1995 so there is not much effect in the film, so the scene is quite realistic and the water looks quite old.

The shooting angles in the movie are quite diverse, close-up is available, the panorama is but nothing too special. The color of the film leans towards sepia and grayish-white tones - this may be the result of time but also creates a feeling of gloomy and danger to the film. The action and chase phase is quite boring and not really appealing, given its realistic look. WebTech360 marks the 7.5 / 10 image part .

Audio: I heard that Se7en was nominated for an Oscar for soundtrack. However, when I watched it, it was quite normal, nothing very memorable. Maybe it's because watching in theaters at that time and watching at home now have different perspectives, so the assessment is also different, guys. I just feel that the music for making movies is more creepy and true to the movie quality of the last century. So, the sound part I also scored 7/10 is always hen.

Acting: The 4 main actors in the movie are all big names of current Hollywood cinemaand their roles in Se7en are really excellent. The couple Morgan Freeman (as Somerset inspector) and Brad Pitt (Inspector Mills) are extremely well-matched in the movie as if two different extremes (old - young, calm - impatient, cowardly - brave, experience - talent) has made the film more alive and worthy of watching, even though the performance is still too safe with these two ancient trees and lacks breakthroughs for viewers to really remember.

Ironman's " wife" - Gwyneth Paltrow as Tracy is really young and much more beautiful than 24 years later. The owner of the golden statue Oscar has a role, but does not leave much impression on the audience and can completely replace another person to still play this character. WebTech360 is extremely impressed with Kevin Spacey's acting as John Doe because the way he acts creates charisma for the character, like Heath Ledger created for the Joker , watching movies, you will understand why. . I gave this section 8.5 / 10 .

Assessment scale:

IMDB: 8.6 / 10 (1,298,939 ratings)

Metascores: 65/100

Rotten Tomatoes: 81/100 (Fresh Tomato)

In short , Se7en - 7 Deadly Sins is a very dramatic, mysterious and better criminal film at the end of the movie. This is one of the criminal and detective works that is easy to see, logical and contains many profound messages that make you think about yourself after watching. The film is more than 24 years ago so there are many parts that may be too ordinary for us, but at that stage it is truly extraordinary to be able to make such a good work. If you have no plans yet, why not try watching one of the movies that have always been rated as classics of the world like this Se7en (1995)?
