Se7en, With Brad Pitt, Is Well Worth Seeing

By Zachary Boyer

This article is slated to introduce you to the film "Se7en, " or Seven as it is pronounced. Through the course of the upcoming paragraphs, you will be given a proper introduction to this film through a plot synopsis and through some of the influential actors and actresses that made this movie so impacting to so many different people.

You should know, though, that this might contain more about the plot of the movie than you might care to know. Meaning, if you have not seen this movie and read the plot synopsis it might tell you more than the back of the movie cover will. This has a shocking ending, which will not be revealed in this article, so don't worry about that.

The film begins with a brief introduction to two of the main characters through the film, Detective William Somerset and Detective David Mills. The two have been partnered together and it isn't long before they are both on the case investigating two very unique murders unlike anything either of them had ever seen before.

One of these murders involves a severely obese man who appears to have been force fed to death. Fed so much in fact, that his stomach has burst open entirely which kills him. The other, involves a greedy lawyer. The interesting additions to these scenes would be the words "GLUTTONY" and "GREED" at the respective crime locations of the obese man and the corrupt lawyer.

It doesn't take a lot of deduction by the detectives to determine that these crimes are relative to the seven deadly sins. So while two of them have been portrayed, there are still five crimes that are slated to occur to complete the quorum. It doesn't take long for these to rack up either, and they are not for the faint of heart.

To add to the drama of the film, the main suspect known as John Doe gives himself over to Mills and Somerset and even offers up a full confession after he is able to take them to the location of the last two victims. They agree, and it isn't long before the lives of everyone left in the story will change forever, but you shouldn't hear about all of that from an article.

By watching the film, you can appreciate four incredible parts that were played by perfectly matched actors and actresses. The lead roles by Brad Pitt (Detective Mills) and Kevin Spacey (John Doe) are among the best of both of their careers. This is not to downplay the supporting roles by Morgan Freeman (Detective Somerset) and the role of Detective Mills wife, Tracy portrayed by Gwenyth Paltrow.

This motion picture earned accolades that are still emulated to this day, though this film was released about fifteen years ago now, in 1995. So if you cannot remember the film, or you have never seen it, put the kids to bed and immerse yourself in a world of murder mystery the likes of which you may never see again.
