In lesson on Wednesday, we watched the film Se7en (1995). The film was about a serial killer who, in series, committed seven sins based on the seven deadly sins; gluttony, greed, sloth, envy, wrath, pride and lust. I, personally, enjoyed this film thoroughly as there were a multitude of plot twists and unexpected events throughout it which kept me on the edge of my seat. I do not, generally, like horror/thriller movies but this was certainly an exception. The distribution of murders throughout the film kept it intriguing though I did feel it was a bit claustrophobic: there were practically zero breaks between the plot lines so there was little build up of suspense as it was constantly tense throughout. Though the constant tension could've led the movie to become unendurable, the depth and gravity of Morgan Freemans version of a retiring policeman kept the film somewhat interesting.
The portrayal of each sin and its corresponding murder, also, kept me exhilarated throughout as I found myself excited to see how the next murder would be carried out and how that would help to solve the mystery of the crime.
