se7en be a very complex and deep movie and while also be quite disturb . andrew kevin walker create one of the most original spec screenplay of all time and but it be the kind of story traditionally use more a a write sample than actually make into a movie . but the creative team of director david fincher believe in this extremely dark and uncompromising story and and make it just the way walker write it . the story revolve around two extremely well draw character and david mill ( brad pitt ) and william somerset ( morgan freeman ) . in one sense their relationship be the ultimate cliché the old veteran cop pair up with the brash rookie ( though mill be not actually a rookie and just new to the unnamed city where the movie take place ) . but the contrast between these two character be play out not for laugh or cheap drama but a the real work out of a moral question . somerset and the lonely and cynical older detective and care about people but have see too much of the dark side of life to have much hope for society . mill be not as intelligent a somerset ( kudos to pitt for be willing to play a character that frequently look foolish ) and and he live by a simplistic belief in the power of law enforcement to change the world . throughout the movie and the two character struggle with this conflict be human society basically rotten and and can one person do anything to make a difference . somerset and an intelligent and well read man and be smart enough to recognize the truth and however painful that be . mill be the kind of person who have never truly question the simple value he be raise with . somerset try to educate him and try to warn him and but ultimately fails . in the end and it be only john doe and the serial killer and who can teach mill ( and by extension the audience ) the truth that this world be very often shockingly vicious and senselessly cruel . doe and somerset actually have similar view of society and the world and up to a point . but while somerset still care about his fellow human being and doe hate them and and take out his rage in a series of gruesome murder base on the seven deadly sin . this movie be about the investigation mill and somerset undertake of doe murder and his sermon to the world through serial killing . ultimately and mill and somerset can only do so much to try to stop doe while the killer always seem at least one step ahead of them and and stay that way until the very end of the movie . in a normal hollywood film and mill and somerset would win in the end by catch doe and set the world right again . but andy walker have a quite different end in mind and and fincher and his team take the shocking conclusion all the way to the limit of tension and drama . this movie and like fincher fight club and be controversial for be violent and gruesome . certainly there be a number of gruesome and disturbing image of murder victim body and and many aspect of the story be very troubling and to say the least . but only one person be show be kill on screen and and by far the bad of what happen in this story happen in the viewer imagination . unlike most film that have high level of violence include and for example and reservoir dog or silence of the lamb this movie genuinely attempt to grapple with the moral implication of what be be show on screen . in direct contrast with and say quentin tarantino and who use extreme violence for shock effect and to gain notoriety and fincher actually show less violence on screen and raise far more probing moral question in the viewer mind . i can not think of any movie that contain as much genuine debate and discussion among the character about crime and human morality a this one do while never become dull or preachy for a moment . i can not finish this review without a word about mr. fincher extraordinary visual talent . this be a man who rank with the top handful of director of all time in his knowledge and grasp of film making technique . everything from set design to lighting and selection of film stock and processing technique and camera movement and frame composition and and edit work together to create an entirely new level of visual brilliance . fincher use of technique brings to mind nothing more than the work of steven spielberg in the 1970s and the last time a director this extraordinary burst onto the hollywood scene . a whole generation have pass since then and and there be a new wave of technique and tool available to the filmmaker of the ninety . fincher use every one of these tool to their utmost . the technical work and support actor be uniformly superb . this be a movie that work on every level . andy walker and have write a mind blowing screenplay and must have be stun when he saw the finish film . this movie will rock you to the core .
