in german there is a strict difference between "culture" and "civilization". civilization is the technological, social, political progress, which compass people in the society to a certain degree. so that we all can call ourselves "civilized". its things coming from outside. but "culture" is much more deeper and individualistic. its the forming of your personality in order to live the humanistic view of world. nobody can do it for you, you have to read the classics and THINK about it.
this scene shows how uncultivated most of humans are in an civilized society. but there is always the chance to cultivate youself. the surface of civilization is thin, but if you really try to cultivate yourself, you can build up a humanistic core inside you. this movie shows so much crime and cruelness. pain and hopelesness. a guy who become a seriel killer because of the sins all in the world. but william is the symbol for the answer to that.
Love this scene...the music oddly fits Freeman's character reading through Dante's Inferno.
Why do I like the movie? Well written story; Freeman's and Spacey's performances are great...set pieces amazingly well done...the only thing I do NOT like is Brad Pitt...terrible actor.
My favourite movie! (the german is hilarious hahah!) Because of David Fincher. How he creates an atmosphere!!! Fantastic acting in collaboration with a fantastic director! For example: the rainy New York City and the sunny dessert, it just blows you away! Thank you mr. Fincher!
Why I love the movie so much? It's probably a weird reason, but I liked seeing the passage of long periods of time *mostly* doing nothing. Waiting on the sofa for an informant, falling asleep, studying in the library for hours on end. It's peaceful.
This movie was very cool. It`s realistic, it has good acting with 2 very good actors, and just the theme of the movie; the 7 sins and most people in society have at least one of those sins without knowing it or getting punished for it... 2 normal policemen who are just doing their jobs while having to deal with their own problems as well.
@RealDMraider The brilliance of this movie is the relationship between Somerset and Mills. Somerset is sick and tired; fed up with the world and ready to let it rot. Mills continues to believe that there is still good in the world, and that those people such as Jonathan Doe who murder and plunder are only "Crazy" people that can be weeded out. That's why the ending is so significant, when (*SPOILERS*) Mills gives up and unloads a fucking .45 in Doe's face. (*END SPOILERS*)
The first time I watched this scene was also the first time I heard Air on a G String. Beautiful song and great for studying to as well. The movie is also beautiful. Nothing recent comes close, expect perhaps Four Horsemen, but even that falls short. The director, David Fincher is a genius.
Is the music by an original composer, or was it just created for the purpose of this movie? I'd really like to know, I'm a conessuier of classical music.
@gianfritek to be correct, it's the AIr from Bachs Ouverture D-Dur BWV 1068. The violinist A. Wilhelmj made a transcription whith the melody on the G-string...in the film, you hear the original Bach version.
OK. Went back to my DVD copy. Commentary from the Production designer, Editors, & DP. This was an empty bank in Los Angeles (where the movie was shot), dressed to look like NY public-ish. Scouted from LA to SD; didn't find a library good enough. Damn, wanted to check it out.
You can't be too much of a film freak if you place Seven anywhere near your top ten best list. They did a good job of butchering a classic song though.
the fact that its in my top ten is because of opinion, its a huge classic flick so the rest is up to opinion, i wud rather say that if u dont like it, ur not too much of a film freak. Agreed its not the greatest murder-thriller ever but close though
I am a film freak. I watch everything..foreigh language..everything..
I am with Binaboms.. I actually think that Se7en is highly underrated. Years from now, critics will say that this is one of the very best crime thrillers of early 21st century cinema. It is arguably Freeman and Pitt's best work to date.
cause i only got the german retail dvd which i got from my girlfriend. she is from germany. do you like se7en? I want all you guys who comment here to say why they love this movie so much. thx
The look, and style of this film inspired the look and style of horror/thrillers/CSI-Type/Serial Murder movies/TV shows for years utilizing the bleach bypass method.
The story was epic, the thrills real,the ending haunting- namely because such a thing has and can happen. To me? This is a real horror film for that reason. It's a near-perfect film, and deserved an Academy Award.
@magog1138 Agreed on the perfection comment. Interesting about the bleach bypass method. Some of the scenes look normal though. Is there a particular scene you're referring to?
@mrbubetube uhhh, whatever?? im glad you felt the need to reply to my comment from 2 years ago...oh and after all, this video is entitled, "LIBRARY scene" and takes place in a LIBRARY.......i think you're the dumbass here xD
