After "Seven Deadly Sins" was screened, its reputation immediately exploded.
In fact, today, although it is completely different from the time of "Seven Deadly Sins", sometimes there is really no harm without comparison.
And how does a movie stand out?
It can be said that a large part of it really depends on the support of peers!
"Seven Deadly Sins" itself is indeed good enough. In addition, in recent years, there have actually been quite a few suspense crime films. However, many of the routines have been used for a long time. We want to innovate and give people something new.
The new routines that I feel are really too few.
In this way, "Seven Deadly Sins" is even more rare. In fact, the ending of "Seven Deadly Sins" can be said to be not the best choice in theory for a commercial movie, because it is too depressing and too desperate.
, too dark.
But sometimes, there are exceptions to some things.
That's it for "Seven Deadly Sins"!
The media's coverage of "Seven Deadly Sins" was rated higher.
"Seven Deadly Sins" has reached a new level in crime-themed movies: it combines criminal psychology with social contradictions to form a highly tense plot and social significance worthy of in-depth exploration. - "Los Angeles Times"
"Every scene in "Seven Deadly Sins" is as precise as a textbook and as beautiful as an oil painting. The heavy rain and light rain from beginning to end are stunning." - "The Hollywood Reporter"
"With its ubiquitous details, desperate ending, and horrifying investigation, "Seven Deadly Sins" can be called the most worth-watching suspense film this year!" - "Times Entertainment"
Etc., etc.
Of course, in-depth analysis of various aspects and interpretations from different directions by various film critics are indispensable.
What is particularly interesting is a review that is completely different from the mainstream interpretation. This review comes from David Morrison, a film critic who has always taken an unconventional approach.
Why do you say that?
Because what everyone is discussing is more about the details of the movie, what is in the movie, for example, what is in that box?
The discussion is, what is the relationship between this movie and the problems that exist in society? Is the same story happening in reality?
Etc., etc.
But David Morrison interpreted the film in a different way.
"The name of the movie "SEVEN" means the Seven Deadly Sins, and the main line of the entire movie is to track the murderer who is about to kill/injure the victim for each of the Seven Deadly Sins.
So we assume that the above-mentioned seven Catholic sins have been reflected to varying degrees in the movie. I say reflected here because many viewers after watching the movie simply asked where the remaining two corpses were. Mills
Did the police officer's wife Tracy be beheaded? In fact, I think most people have a fallacy in their understanding of the seven deadly sins. They think that the seven deadly sins are equivalent to seven corpses. Please relax your thinking for the time being, as long as each sin is in the movie
It is reflected in it, whether it is death, injury or any other form, then it is complete.
So let's take a look at the previous five crimes: gluttony, greed, laziness, lust, and arrogance, which have been committed by the deceased fat man, the deceased lawyer, the half-dead psycho drug addict (also the first suspect), the deceased prostitute, and the deceased female star.
It is reflected in the body. However, rage and jealousy, the serious crimes next to pride, are not directly shown to us in the form of murder.
Most viewers simply believed that John Doe, a psychopath who suddenly appeared at the police station with blood-stained fingers, was the murderer. They didn't even think about a serial perpetrator who tortured the victim for up to a year without any trouble in his heart. He regarded the police as
A fool is playing tricks on an arrogant, arrogant, cold-blooded, cautious and highly intelligent criminal who proactively provides clues. Why would he expose himself like a retard, and in such a nonsensical way?
Since the public believes that the murderer who suddenly self-destructed is the murderer, let us simply discuss the would-be murderer John. Because the movie is not a cartoon, it is two hours and one minute, and every second is arranged for a purpose. So what is wrong with John is naturally
This is where the real culprit is hinted. This fanatical Catholic, psychotic, and highly educated suspect who seems to fit the characteristics of the murderer has four points worthy of study, which point directly to the details of the real culprit behind the scenes.
First of all, when the police interrogated John, and John confessed very easily that he was responsible for the previous cases, he once tilted his head towards the old policeman outside the isolation glass and lip-mouthed something. The old policeman took one look and immediately turned his head and said
The person in front of me was talking. When I saw this scene, I was very sure that they knew each other and were connected in some way, but the old policeman did not reveal at all that he and John knew each other. And John's lip reading, with the caution of the old policeman Samose
It is impossible to ignore such important clues with his meticulous handling style.
Think about it carefully, think about it carefully, what is the setting of Samosei in the movie from the beginning?
He is a wise, elegant and extremely calm old police detective! With many years of experience, he can be said to have rich experience in handling cases.
How could such a cunning old police detective ignore such a major clue?
So, there must be a problem here.
So if we set the target of doubt on him, we will suddenly find that everything is so natural, and all the logic suddenly becomes smooth!
Secondly, the request made by John's lawyer is very weird and unreasonable. His client John is willing to confess all the crimes and tell the whereabouts of the remaining two bodies, but the only request is that it can only be done by the old police officers Summerser and Mills.
The police detective is accompanying you, and the reason is that he admires you. This lie is full of loopholes and even makes a mockery of the audience's IQ. So is this really the case? Is this really a huge loophole left by the director?
From the previous crimes, we can see that the murderer is an extremely proud, cautious, God's perspective character. The reason why the two police detectives are able to obtain the right clues at the right time every time is entirely because the "God" murderer is there
Feeding cards, he guides them step by step to discover, asking them to discover his perfect crime. He cannot and will not appreciate anyone except himself.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Third, the conversation between Somerset, Mills, and John in the car is very important. Mills tried to ask questions to induce John to say
He gave some information and motives for committing the crime, and John fed back the details and motives of the previous cases to Mills like a disciple throughout the whole process. It is worth noting that the old police officer Summerser did not show any expression during the conversation between the two.
How interested he was, but when John said that he planned such a perfect killing, he looked at John in the rearview mirror and said, "Your work?"
So does he actually have a subtext: Is this really your work?
This is the true dissatisfaction and reminder from God to believers who take credit for themselves.
As mentioned before, the murderer of this serial case is an extremely egoistic and proud person. He will not want others to pick the fruits and gain fame for everything he has worked so hard to arrange. So he questioned here without hesitation,
And Mills, who has a careless character, didn't notice anything was wrong at all. Even when John said that he was chosen by God, Samose was still brainwashing him. It's you who enjoy this killing, not anyone else.
The purpose of forcing you to do these things is to make John completely believe that it is his own subjective will and willingness to be the executor of his series of crimes, rather than a puppet to be used.
Last but not least, when they escorted John to the wilderness, the arranged truck drove over, and there was obviously police helicopter backup. Mills was close at hand, and the suspect John was handcuffed.
There was no shelter on the flat ground and there was no way to escape in front of everyone. However, Samose made the strangest choice. He ran over alone, stopped the car, talked to the driver, and after getting the cardboard box, knowing that it was not a bomb, he asked the helicopter and all units
Stay back and don't get closer.
And when John told Mills that the carton contained his wife's head, John was ostensibly persuading Mills, but in fact he worked with John to break Mills' inner defenses and prompted him to shoot. Why? It's simple. If the old policeman really
If you want to dissuade Mills from shooting the pervert John, you will deny it as soon as the pervert says that the box is his wife's head. Because anyone knows that the other person has been stimulated and may act in extreme ways if he is extremely excited.
In this situation, what you need to do is to stabilize the other person's mood before talking about anything else.
So, while watching this scene, I always wondered, why? Why did he do this?
Why don't you tell him that he's lying to you, why don't you just tell Mills that there's just a dog head in the box, or something.
He doesn't, he doesn't even have any explanation, and that's the weirdest thing.
Even if he said it, Mills might not believe it, but at least he wouldn't let Mills lose control so quickly! Right?
The key point is also, why did Samose's first reaction be to let Mills throw the gun instead of something else?
As an extremely calm old police detective, would he really be so easily affected by this situation?
Because people around him always tell him that this case can be closed. Others, such as children seeing murder cases, have nothing to do with them. Don't meddle in other people's business and don't make trouble!
Therefore, he is disappointed with this world!
Of course, he still believed that the world could be beautiful, so he started to struggle. How to struggle?
"Seven Deadly Sins" is his way of struggle. John was just chosen by "God", that is, the person he chose. This is his work.
Moreover, haven't you noticed that Samose seems to be very synchronized with the murderer's thinking? Are the books he searched really for the purpose of investigating the case?
No, maybe it’s just to complement your own plan and make your work more perfect!
Moreover, John is jealous of Mills? Why would a stranger be jealous of another stranger?
Don't you think it's strange?
There are countless happy people in this world who live a better life than Mills. Why isn't he jealous?
But if you put it on Samose, you will find that everything falls into place.
Old Detective Somerset himself has been unmarried for many years, has no children, and has only had a relationship experience where he almost got married. The characterization of Old Detective Somerset has been a bad touch from the first scene. He is a bit self-righteous and looks down on the card players in the library.
Colleague, he is a very serious person who never smiles. The only time he smiled was when he was invited to their home for dinner by Mills’ wife Tracey. Later, there was a scene where he and Mills’ wife Tracey were talking alone. This part I
I don’t want to over-interpret it, but now I really feel that it was carefully designed.
Finally, the pervert's lawyer repeatedly emphasized twice at the end that Samose and Mills must go together, twice specifically reminding them.
Jealousy, maybe not the pervert, but the samoose!
Because Samose was the one who had the most contact with Mills and the most contact with Tracey. He was jealous that someone like Mills could have a wife like Tracey, and even more jealous that Tracey was willing to work for Mill.
Si is pregnant and has a baby! So, all the logic is perfectly closed!"
