Se7en

The dead gluttony victim can be seen breathing.

Mills gets out of a bed with only a quilted mattress cover.

He puts on his shirt and tie and walks back to the bed which now has a sheet on it.

Detective Mills' tucked-in tie when he is looking at the portrait in the greed victim's office.

The amount of the name that is left on the door when the janitor is scraping it off.

Uneven dispersal of rainfall on the windows of the car.

At the end of the scene where both witnesses of the "Lust" crime scene are interrogated, there is a slow track from one interrogation room to the other.

In the tracking shot, you can see the camera dolly reflection at the bottom of the two-way mirror.

On the way to finding the final two victims, the overhead shots show them to be driving in the desert, while shots from inside the car show grey and green flora outside the windows.

While it is raining on the car, the people on the street are not using umbrellas or other devices to shield themselves from rain.

The phone on Detective Mills' desk changes several times when he enters his new office.

The movie is set in a fictitious city, so the nearby desert is not a geographical error.

Just before the greed scene, several newspaper headlines state that Defense Attorney Eli Gould had been murdered.

Hence, Mills and Somerset refer to him as "the biggest defense lawyer in town.

" (Casual viewers might have misread the headlines.

) The layout of John Doe's apartment conflicts with the hallway of the building.

In the outside hallway, there is a window looking onto the building next door.

Inside the apartment, there are rooms where the window would be.

On the drive back from the Gluttony victim, the car has two different kinds of windshield wiperone that goes side to side, and one that goes up and down.

When Somerset is in the taxi on the way to the library, he is wearing a striped shirt under his overcoat.

When he gets to the library and is chatting with the security guards he is wearing just a solid white shirt.

The level of the wine glasses when Somerset is over for dinner changes.

When the camera is on the Mills, Mrs.

Mills glass is higher than Somerset's glass.

When the camera is on Somerset, the levels are both lower and equal.

The direction of the light varies between shots during the final scene.

There are at least 3 copies of 'Dante Alighieri' (qv)'s Divine Comedy which Somerset places on the table.

The red-bound copy which is the focus of an earlier shot is seen underneath a copy of 'Geoffrey Chaucer' (qv)'s The Canterbury Tales.

Beneath the red one is a larger printing of the book with a dust-jacket, and at the top of the other pile is a smaller, blue-covered version of the book.

When Somerset is in the greed victim's office dusting the wall for prints behind the painting, he does so with his left hand.

However, the close-up shot of the hand doing the dusting is clearly a right hand.

When the police are inspecting the body of the "lust" victim, you can see her blinking at the beginning of the scene.

Freeze-framing the film on the legible portions of John Doe's hand-written journal (while Somerset is turning pages) reveals one page identical to the preceding one.

In the scene taking place in the car heading out to find the final two victims, the grating in the vehicle changes.

It is more curvy when the camera is on John Doe, while it is very straight when the camera is looking at Mills from John Doe's point of view.

It also disappears occasionally, such as then the camera is on Somerset or when it is on Mills, but not from John Doe's point of view.

When we first see the crime scene for lust, the man with the large leather strap-on device has a white sheet draped over him to cover the obviously disturbing contraption.

Even though it was recently used to stab the female to death through intercourse and should be covered in blood, there are no soaked through blood stains on the sheet.

John Doe's package, delivered by "Crosstown Express", has UPS International shipping papers attached to it.

When Mills orders Jon Doe to the ground in the police station, Jon Doe is covered in blood but doesn't leave any blood on the floor, even though the police officer who handcuffs him gets blood on himself.

As Mills and Somerset leave the Captain's office after submitting the report on their first job together, Somerset walks across the screen to leave the room.

In the bottom-left side of the screen, the red marker tape he is standing on is clearly visible in the shot.

At about the end of the library scene, when Somerset is folding up 'Dante Alighieri' (qv)'s inferno printout, a mistake in the roman numerals can be seen.

The lustful, following V.

The greedy, should be listed as the 6th (VI) and the gluttonous as the 7th (VII) on the list.

However, they're listed as the 7th (VII) and as the 6th (VI) respectively.

Doe hits Mills on the top of the head, then leaves him behind, bleeding.

If you look carefully, you can see a tube running on top of Mills' head, presumably carrying the fake blood to his forehead.

When Somerset is in the library making copies, a plan of 'Dante Alighieri' (qv)'s Purgatory comes out of the copy machine, but the label at the bottom of the page identifies it as Dante's Inferno.

When Somerset returns to the Gluttony crime scene, he uses his pocket-knife to cut the police tape which is securing the door.

This tape is on the inside of the door, which is pointless (as it is supposed to be seen by people, to warn them away from the crime scene) and impossible, unless the police taped up the door and then climbed out of the windows.

Somerset states in the film that there are "7 cardinal virtues, and 7 deadly sins".

It is generally more accepted, and stated by Saint Thomas Aquinas, that there are only 4 cardinal virtues, the other 3 virtues being theological.

At the "Sloth" murder scene, John Doe has amputated the victim's hand in order to leave fingerprints at other murder scenes.

When the police examine the victim, tied to his bed, the handless, prosthetic left arm built from the scene is visible, as well as the actor's real (and intact) left arm, strapped to the side of his body.

When the delivery man at the end of the film hands over the box that contains the head, he clearly hands over a light weight box.

A human head is quite heavy enough that it would have involved some effort to lift.

When Detective David Mills is chasing the suspected murderer (who is now on the roof top in between buildings), he fires shots at the Detective in the building.

Nearby pigeons can be seen only a few feet away and do not fly off when the shots are fired.

When Dective Mills shoots John after the first shot the slide locks back indicating the gun is empty, then he begins shooting again but doesn't reload or cycle the slide When Dective Mills shoots John he has a 1911 style gun which is a single action pistol, meaning you have to cock the hammer to shoot the first shot, which he never does.

When Morgan Freeman is printing off a photo-copy of 'The Plan of Dante's Inferno' in the library, one of the pages has the word 'Unshiven'.

Surely it should be 'Unshriven'.

When Det.

Somerset knocks on the door of the suspect, the sound of the knocking doesn't match the movements of his hand.

After Det.

Somerset is shot, he limps very noticeably, but moments later when running down the stairs the limp seems to have disappeared.

When Detective David Mills is chasing the suspected murderer (who is now on the roof top in between buildings), he fires shots at the Detective in the building.

Nearby pigeons can be seen only a few feet away and do not fly off when the shots are fired.

Just watched again after many times but has been a while and oh my it still delivers. From the dreary back drop of a careless city (NYC I think) to the loneliness of its characters, Seven keeps you wondering what's going to happen to the very moment it dawns on you and John Doe reveals his hideous plan.

Mindless drivel disguised as a religous murder movie. and the so called Brad Pitt "What's in the box what's in the box"?

I can watch this movie over and over! I love it.

Overall, this movie is perfect. Except the story pacing, arc 2 a little bit slow.

There are very few horror movies that have come out in the past twenty-five years that manage to deliver on the "horror" front without resorting to taking the gore over the top, or playing all of the lowest common denominator cards. Se7en is the exception to the rule.

If there is anything that makes a movie enticing to me, it is an exceptional villain or psycho, in this case. I've been obsessed with the "Saw" series all of my life, being hypnotised and thrilles by the supposed "villain" philosophy and mindset.

A bleak, gruesome, horrific and clever thriller, and filmmaking of a distinguished kind, it tells the tale of two detectives, one all set to retire, the other at the outset of his career, and their efforts to catch a jaundiced but cunning serial killer using the Seven Deadly Sins as his narrative. As the film begins, we meet Somerset, a painstaking veteran cop who lives a lonesome bachelor's life in what seems like a furnished room.

Se7en (David Fincher, 1995)Here's a movie I last saw about 15 years ago, yet my memories of it are vivid and intense. Watching it again this weekend brought all that back.
