tearjerker director

"Seven Deadly Sins" ends with a famous quote from Samose: "The world is beautiful and worth fighting for!"

It's just that many people at the movie show had a feeling at this moment that they wanted to use swear words, but couldn't.

how to say?

It’s just that this movie, this structure, this ending, and this concept are indeed amazing, but what?This ending made them feel at a loss and depressed.

This complicated feeling was caused by the suffocating feeling that they clearly wanted to use foul language but couldn't.

But there is no doubt about the quality of this movie, its commercial attributes, and its commercial prospects.

In fact, starting from the murderer's surrender, the film really enters the most exciting part of "Seven Deadly Sins".

"Clap clap clap!"

There was roaring applause.

If what is in the movie is reality, then naturally no one can laugh. But this is just a movie, so that’s okay!
"WTF! This is the most confusing crime movie I have ever seen!"

"The focus is not on the suspense of how John Doe premeditated and successfully carried out the killing of five people and finally committed the Seven Deadly Sins. Lee elevated the entire film to a contemplation and criticism of the entire society, even despair. The city where the people in the film are located, The weaknesses and sins of human nature, such as indifference between people, utilitarianism, selfishness, indulgence, greed, depravity, lust and arrogance, are all clearly revealed here, borrowing what religion says is human nature, but human nature is what it is."

"This is a very good movie, there is no doubt about it!"

"Congratulations, another wonderful work!"

"I believe the audience will be surprised!"

Many theater representatives are very satisfied with the film, so naturally there is no need to worry about the scale of distribution.

Soon, special screenings of "Seven Deadly Sins" began, which was actually part of the promotion.

A movie like "Seven Deadly Sins" is enough for the media and film critics to write more positive reviews. After all, although "Seven Deadly Sins" has traditional routines, it also has stunning twists and turns, and some of their favorites are The kind that exposes the dark side of society.

Don't think that commercial movies don't need slogans. In fact, many successful commercial movies will have a very special slogan.

For example, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!" Or "The world is so beautiful and worth fighting for!"

Because these slogans, or these are not themes, are actually giving the public, film critics, and media people an introduction to interpretation.

As some film critics left comments after watching the movie: "Gloomy and desperate. Christianity uses the seven demons of Satan to represent the seven sins: pride, jealousy, rage, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust. A pervert. A religious killer who usually doesn't even kill a chicken, but he found a basis to carry out horrific murders of people. Is there anything more terrifying than a person doing the devil's deeds? But just like the sentence in the ending Quote: “This is a wonderful world worth fighting for. "

Because the world always has two sides: sunshine and darkness, and extreme people, like murderers, eventually go into darkness, but normal people, like normal people, can still work hard after getting out of the haze! "

"The clips and things that happened in the movie can really happen in life. It's just not as exciting as in the movie. Human nature can never be pure white!"

"Apart from the mystical religious elements and the bloody cruelty that appeals to the senses, the routine of using temporary partners with different personalities to track down perverted serial killers is no longer new, but the moral creed behind the killers is chilling. The editing is smooth and the lighting is The plot is intense, the foreshadowing is solid, the atmosphere is worrying, and the final reveal of the plot is exquisite, eye-catching, and reasonable. Both the technique and the concept are worthy of recollection."

"This film is definitely a textbook example of a lot of suspense movies: the gloomy New York is filled with rain, mixed with the smell of sin, and coupled with thoughts on religion and humanity, but the director uses his unique cold and restrained approach to bring it to life. Clever packaging creates the birth of this wonderful film. Even if you know the ending, you will still be touched by it. This is probably the power of classics."

"The play is extremely beautiful. In fact, the seven deadly sins are not what this movie is about, but the seven types of people built around "sin". The old police detective Somerset represents "reason", and the ending is nothingness. Detective Mills represents "Emotional", the ending is loss. The wife represents "purity", the ending is sacrifice. The unborn child represents "innocence", and the several people who died of torture represent "guilty", they must all be destroyed. The sixth type is mediocrity People live a boring, ignorant and uninteresting life, and their ending is the second half of Hemingway's sentence. The position of the devil John Doe is God, and the original sin in the Garden of Eden makes people doubt whether God is omniscient, omnipotent and good? At this moment, God and Satan High degree of overlap.”

Critics gave this film very high ratings.In fact, in the past, serial killers were given similar self-justifying reasons for killing, but there were very few cases where they included themselves.

Soon film critics and media people began to prepare their interpretations.

There's nothing they can do about it, it's been a long time since there's been a film that's so palatable for them to interpret to their heart's content.

"Gluttony, greed, lust, laziness, pride, jealousy, and revenge all have a religious moral admonishment and a cautionary feel.

The criminal's strict criminal logic is the clue of this film.Judging from the first five crimes, the criminal is not at fault. At least he is doing justice for heaven. Even if he is wrong, it is also the fault of society. The final "jealousy" and "revenge" are the controversial aspects of this film: from the criminal's point of view, David completed his redemption by shooting himself. If the final link cannot be completed, then a similar cycle cannot be repeated by others. From this perspective, the criminal is innocent and is fulfilling his mission; in David and Some viewers believe that criminals cannot kill innocent lives for any reason, especially pregnant Tracy, which is unacceptable under any circumstances.In this way, an irresolvable contradiction arises. Legally, the criminal killed someone, but ethically, he was right. He killed Tracy to complete his mission. Of course, the ethics I am talking about do not mean murder for life. problem, and "jealousy" is not a crime.

This is really a question that becomes more terrifying and perverted the more we think about it. Perhaps it is because we are just ordinary people, so it is difficult for us to understand such a profound question.

Back to the movie itself, the name of the movie has only one eye-catching and startling word - "Seven". It is a mysterious number in religion, which is most fully reflected in the "Old Testament".God took 7 days to create Adam and took out Adam's 7th rib to create Eve.Satan's original form is a fire dragon with 7 heads. There are 7 fallen angels in the world called Satan.After the 16th century, Catholicism more directly used the images of Satan's 7 demons to represent the 7 sins-arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust.

In the movie, there are 7 sins, 7 punishments, 7 rains, the story takes place in 7 days, and even the ending is set by the criminal at 7 pm on the 7th day. The ubiquitous "7" hints to the audience: it is fate. of crime and punishment.In this case, the tragedy of fate must belong to the human world, and "God" participated in the entire event as the "instructor" and "spectator".The cold-blooded killer came to the world as a preacher and eventually died as a martyr.From a certain perspective, there is no distinction between good and evil in tragedy. As small human beings, we can only accept the judgment of fate.

Looking at the seven deadly sins separately, each one does not constitute a capital crime. After all, God only tells us that those who commit these seven deadly sins will go to hell. The emphasis is on punishment after death rather than in this world.Therefore, the seven punishments administered by the killer in the movie appear to follow the rules after careful analysis: he does not directly kill people.

The fat man was forced to eat too much and burst his blood vessels and died;

The lawyer cuts off his own flesh—just a pound, no more, no less;
The drug dealer was still alive when he was discovered;
Prostitutes are killed directly by their clients;

The model only had her nose cut off because she was too proud and refused to call the police, so she bled to death.

The murderer claimed to have committed the crime of "jealousy", but jealousy itself does not constitute a crime. Only when he killed the innocent Tracey did he become the target of Mills's furious revenge.

According to this line of thinking, the murderer is completely following the guidance of "the Lord" to correct the world.

However, there is actually a trap here. The Ten Commandments of the Bible say: "You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain." That is to say, there is only one Lord, and mortals cannot preach under the guise of his name.As long as this point is grasped correctly, the murderer's position will be completely untenable, and the "fatalism" will disappear.Samose has actually found this loophole.On the 7th day, which was a sunny Sunday, when the three of them were in the car, Somerset asked John if he thought he was doing things for God, but John could not answer directly and only said, "God's actions are mysterious." That's all. A little bit is enough, because only humans can create the images of heaven and hell, and only then can there be a saying of "going through the seven levels to wash away all the sins of death, leading to heaven on earth"!

Where is the fatal sin?It’s all just human imagination.

Therefore, John’s so-called preaching on behalf of God, and his actions and so-called works, are all just from a sick or perverted extremist looking for reasons for his crimes.

Abnormal John, jealousy is okay. After all, many of us see our old lovers happy and singled out. Who is not sour and jealous? Only when people have these feelings can they be called human beings.

But if your jealousy goes so far as to murder your wife, it's John's own fault for going to such an extreme.Many people will be jealous, but few people will do this, or no one else in the world will do this except him.So John's fault was his pathological excess, not jealousy itself.Thumbs up to John who is a pervert who has gone to extremes and is unprecedented!

In fact, as mentioned earlier, even God said that after death, the seven deadly sins will go to hell, but today is no longer an era of religious rule, but an era of legal and moral constraints.

In fact, I am guilty of all the seven deadly sins, but the sin does not lead to death!
The glutton is guilty, but he did not harm others. The movie actually tells us that John has endless disgust when talking about fat people. However, just because of his disgust, he was directly sentenced to death. We We all know that some punishments are more cruel than the death penalty!
And John was doing such a thing. His original intention was simply because he believed that he was guilty and the crime was extremely evil, so he executed the lynching!
The so-called greed, greedy people are certainly guilty.

The lawyer, who defends all kinds of "guilty people", seems to be greedy in everyone's perception.

But who is not greedy?Workers crave more pay, wives crave more love from their husbands, women crave more beautiful looks, etc., wait, is this greed?
Another point, the profession of a lawyer, as John's own lawyer said, he is just doing his own job. Greed may be disgusting and unpleasant, but before the camel passes through the eye of the needle, stinginess There is no clear distinction between ghosts, spendthrifts, liars without conscience, path-cutting robbers and greedy people.How can I accurately grasp the amount of wealth that I deserve? If I stretch out my hand to ask for it, on which day, which second, and which innocent person's blood is stained, will I get a pass to the fourth level of hell?Why does my God give me desire and not allow me to expand it wantonly?What is wantonness and what is spirituality?That day, between black and white, between countless depths and shallows of gray, I deviated a little on the road to hell. ——Believe me, I was once given a pure desire just like you.

The proud may be because they are humble, because the proud are afraid of the soles of their feet, where they are entangled in mud and decayed.Thou arbiter, Thou great one, hath there never been a small word in Thy cloak?The world is so big, and the only thing that protects me is my pride.Make me proud or I choose to die.You arbiter, you great one, you should be satisfied with this outcome.

Lust, this may be a sin, but they are at the bottom of society. How many women in this world would voluntarily become such a person?
Don't they want to laugh freely in the sun?He didn't ask why they committed such sins, but just sinned because of sins!If this is God, then there is no need to blame so many blasphemers!
Because didn't they long for God's guidance to save them from destruction?But God turned a blind eye!
Laziness and greed contradict each other. If greed is a sin, then laziness should be innocent, because laziness on the other hand also represents lack of desire. Since there is no desire, then there is no greed and no injection into the world. Don't take it out, laziness is a way to live in peace with the world.I don't want anything, so time may stagnate and crawl, drag on, and slow down every second.I slowed down and walked to the sinful end at my own pace.It's your definition. I have never asked for evil, nor for innocence. "
