"This is a rainy and rainy city. The old police detective Samosa is wearing a rain coat and a round hat; the rookie Mills who has just transferred here has a bald head in the rain, and it seems that he will never grow old. There was a murder case in the day when the fat deceased was soaked head down in a plate of spaghetti. Samosa later returned here, flashlight lights wandering in the dirty apartment, and found a mountain of spaghetti sauce. No matter how fat the foodie is, he will not turn his home into a food warehouse.

This horrible murder set the tone for David Fincher's "Seven Deadly Sins", one of the darkest, coldest, most ruthless, and desperate films ever produced by a major Hollywood studio. The torrential rain continued and the murders followed one after another. Distorted blood characters appeared at the murder scene. The refrigerator in the fat man’s deceased’s home read ‘gluttony’ on the back. After the two murders, Samose realized that they were facing a serial murderer and punished the victims with the ‘seven deadly sins’.

This is a very boring and cliché opening, just like the collection of Agatha Christie's detective novels that were so popular in the 1920s. But now is the nineties.

The only difference is that the stage of the ‘seven deadly sins’ is not the upper-class rural villa, but the daily life of two criminal policemen-one of them is tired of the ugliness of the world; the other is unprepared. Interestingly, solving the crime is not the focus of this film, because the two detectives spent countless efforts and failed to arrest the murderer. In the end, the murderer voluntarily surrendered, which declared their suffering to a stage.

Relatively speaking, this is more like a discussion of human nature. The old detective appreciates the fall and crime of falling into hell, while the young man has experienced an evil trial pitifully.

Before formally commenting on this film, a tidbit must be mentioned. In the initial internal preview version of the film, the desperate ending made the audience who participated in the preview very dissatisfied, so that David Fincher had to add the words of Ernest Hemingway in the voiceover at the end. Give people some tiny hope. But the original ending remains intact, making Hemingway's words a cold joke.

The movie should have ended after Samose’s ‘I won’t go far’, because Hemingway’s comfort was hardly felt.

The mystery and introversion of Samosa runs through the whole work, and this is also the best performance of an actor's career. The actor has a temperament that is not angry, self-prestige, rigorous, and steady. I don't remember him playing any weak roles. He understands the police who work in the worst part of the city. Observe how much ugliness and injustice you want to witness-but you have to swallow your breath.

Alone, he lives in a shabby apartment, with bookshelves nailed to the wall, he uses a metronome to hypnotize, he has never been married-although he was very close once, he is a lonely man, helpless but unwilling to compromise With his eyes, watching the chaos and unbearableness of this city, but also watching his own struggles and entanglements.

Realizing that the'seven deadly sins' are the main line of the murderer's crime, he made a choice that ordinary people would not consider: walk into the library to find the answer, and he consulted Dante Aligheri (dante.)'s Purgatory. ()', John Milton's "Paradise Lost", Jeffrey Chaucer (.)'s Canterbury Tales (the. canterbury. tales). This is not just to introduce the background to the audience, but a common method in thriller and suspense movies to use classic literature to set off the uneasy atmosphere. Finch also showed the Spider-Woman illustration created by Gustave Doray (gustave.) for the "Divine Comedy (. in a flash.

When talking about the ‘seven deadly sins’, Samose seemed knowledgeable, but Mills knew nothing.

This approach is the same as William Friedkin's ‘The Exorcist (the.)’ and Jonathan Demi’s ‘The Silent Lamb’. Originally mediocre crime-solving movies have raised their realm with eerie myths and symbols.

The "Seven Deadly Sins" is not a profound or important movie, but it gives people such an illusion. While all mainstream horror movies put entertainment first, this movie wants to shock the audience, which is similar to the ‘silent lamb’. Samose's character's profound appearance brings depth and meaning to the crime that the killer sees as a moral declaration.

Of course, Samose was able to find the murderer's address by accident and coincidence through borrowing records from the library. But after thinking about it carefully, this should be a clue that the other party left deliberately-because he must not have suddenly got the inspiration for murder in the library. The murderer deliberately let Samose and Mills discover themselves.

The methods of the five homicides were different. The murderer obviously went through careful design and hard facts-one of them even took at least a year. However, the ultimate ultimate move he designed in the movie* paragraph must have come from a recent change. The ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ relentlessly presented the horror of the murder case to the audience, and the scenes that flashed past were even more chilling. The audience can only understand the method of committing the crime through the discussion of the two, although the bag of things in the hands of the forensic doctor no longer needs any explanation. Vinci made the audience feel uncomfortable, and then quickly moved the camera away.

The murderer of the ‘seven deadly sins’ apparently regarded his crimes as a warning to the world, and he showed this attitude from the moment he appeared on the scene. Mills told him that the "seven deadly sins" would soon be forgotten, but he thought he would be immortal. Because this is a masterpiece he has spent his entire life planning. The only uncertainty is how he will end this declaration. All the people he killed were executed for the crimes they ‘committed’. What lessons does this contain? In order to make the audience take warning?

Samose and Mills represent the classic partner mode of recruits and veterans. The dialogue written by Andrew Kevin Walker adds vitality to this model with rich details and concise lines in Samosa. Mills looked a little thin: young and energetic, he didn't care about Samosa's experience and caution. On the contrary, his wife Trish brings a touch of human warmth to the film. Although she does not have many roles, the audience knows that she loves and cares about her husband, and at the same time, she is extremely wise to invite Samosa, who is unmarried for life, to dinner. There is no harm in having a good relationship with someone who can help and teach her husband. The audience thinks that Trish is just the protagonist's wife, a flat character used to make up the numbers. But she will save her highlight until the end.

The more we think about it, the more we will admire the film’s clever layout strategy.

The most subtle part of this film is that the murderer surrendered to the police twenty minutes before the end of the film, and has since led the entire film. When the ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ were in the pre-publication process, the actor’s life was hidden from the advertisements, posters and credits, so I will not make an exception to this example. It is still waiting for the audience to find out which actor plays which role.

This actor has a huge mission on his back. He represents evil itself. Like Hannibal, his role must be performed by a powerful actor. Because he is not only a bad person, but also shows a complicated morbid personality. Look at his face, calm, calm, sneer, and self-satisfied; listen to his words, smart, wise, clear, and honest; pay attention to his emotions, calm, fearless, confident, and have a chance to win. He is the key to determining the success or failure of this movie, and a slight deviation will lead to abandonment of all previous efforts. But he did not make a mistake.

The last 20 minutes of the movie are undoubtedly the essence of the whole work. A 120-minute work, the real protagonist has just debuted at 100 minutes, which reminds us of the ‘silent lamb’ again. However, this is not important. Because twenty minutes is enough whether it is the finishing touch to the murderer's mission or the superb performance to the actors.

The appearance of this actor completely changed everyone's previous view of perverted murderers~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He successfully completed the transformation from serial killer to preacher to atonement. Apart from this actor, no one is qualified for this role, of course, maybe Anthony Hopkins can.

In a short period of twenty minutes, the actor injected soul into the movie. He dedicated the most exciting performance of his career. The seemingly unremarkable and featureless performances inadvertently penetrated into the soul, even after the movie was over. After that, as long as you close your eyes, a calm and calm face will emerge. The chilling taste makes the murderer a symbol that remembers the history of shadows. This is another time after the'Silent Lamb'.

The'Seven Deadly Sins' is David Fincher's second feature film after the fiasco of'Alien 3'. He is only twenty-nine years old. He injects a subtle temperament into the movie, with invisible dust floating in the room. , Highlighting the light beam of the flashlight and the dark environment, I don’t know the reason for this setting, but it’s not a bad thing. I remembered f. w. In a shot of ‘faust’ taken by Murnau (f.w. murnau) in 1926, Satan opened his black cloak and enveloped a small village. This is the perception that Vinci created in the "Seven Deadly Sins".

This is a great work, not only because the film gives enough depth and meaning to social issues, but also because the actors have dedicated enough performances in the film to be recorded in the annals of history. As for the actor's acting charm and the truth of the role, the audience still needs to walk into the cinema to discover. "
