About Se7en
'Se7en' is a gripping psychological thriller that follows the lives of two homicide detectives, David Mills, played by Brad Pitt, and his experienced partner, Lieutenant William Somerset, portrayed by Morgan Freeman. Set in an unnamed city, the film takes the audience on a dark and suspenseful journey as the detectives race against time to track down a cunning serial killer who bases his murders on the seven deadly sins.
The seasoned detective, Somerset, is on the brink of retirement and is haunted by the years of grisly crimes he has witnessed. As the murders begin to unfold, he becomes increasingly obsessed with understanding the killer's motives. He spends countless hours researching each sin, delving deep into their meaning and symbolism, in an effort to get inside the killer's mind. Meanwhile, Mills, a young and eager detective, is initially skeptical of Somerset's approach. He is brash, confident, and quick to judge, often dismissing Somerset's theories as mere speculation.
However, as the murders become more gruesome and personal, Mills begins to see the value in Somerset's methods. He starts to understand that the killer is not just a madman, but a highly intelligent and calculating individual who is using the seven deadly sins as a blueprint for his crimes. As the detectives get closer to the killer, the stakes become higher, and the lines between good and evil become increasingly blurred. The film's shocking and unforgettable ending leaves viewers questioning their own morality and the true nature of justice.
