      Roger Kincaid studios and producers usually want to play it “safe” because they just want to do whatever will earn them more money out of the project. Whereas (good) directors and actors usually want the film to be as unique as possible and want to keep the story’s integrity.

      Roger Kincaid back when I was in university, I would let my professor read a lot of my screenplays, the ones that I thought were my best, he usually thought was my best too, but a lot of the endings I had were bleak because a lot of my favourite films have bleak endings (e.g. oldboy, seven, No Country for Old Men). He said that the two scripts I wrote with those endings were my best but would be very hard to sell or get made especially as a first time writer because most studios want to do “safe” films, even more so when it’s with a first timer.

    • @klaxoncow

      @@Slesaint17 And so the studios and producers would have been objectively wrong.
      Because if you "played it safe" and did not include this scene - did not tie a bow to John Doe's crimes and complete the 7 - then this movie would be unremarkable, no-one would remember it, it wouldn't have more than 8 million views on UA-cam (at time of writing) and so on and so forth.
      It would have done worse at the box office and with VHS / DVD sales, and they would have objectively earnt less money for their risk aversion.
      They might think playing it safe earns them more money, but this is consistently not true in the history of all media. Great art earns the biggest money.
      The actors understood this. The "money men" unfortunately never do.

      It’s so scary because in most of the film he kills people we don’t know. Tracy being the final victim, someone we have seen and the wife of the main character, it’s like he jumps off the screen and kills the audience. One of the best movies ever made.

      Susan Kay agreed the dialogue is fantastic and spot on. It’s pretty timeless too. Here is something interesting about the ending - all 3 win and lose. John Doe and Mills both sin and pay the price (although John Doe is already facing life in prison - this final sin guarantees death instead of prison or mental hospital). Somerset turns out to be right all along - he was trying to prepare Mills to realize the world isn’t black and white - and it happens in the absolute worst way imaginable (a suspect has surrendered himself, unarmed, in custody - can you kill him if he murdered your loved one? John Doe turned the law on its head with this one and I’m still honestly debating if Mills goes to jail as a result) - basically a negative self fulfilling prophecy. Again one of the best dark movies ever made.

    For those that aren’t aware, a fully detailed prop was created for Gwenyth Paltrow’s severed head, and it was meant to be shown on screen in the box. However, David Fincher decided to have it so that Gwenyths head isn’t shown on screen, instead the audience is forced to imagine what horrible sight Detective Somerset had to lay his eyes upon, which, quite frankly, is even more terrifying

    A thought I have that further demonstrates how brilliant this movie is: it's insanely graphic, WITHOUT BEING GRAPHIC. The graphic nature is what you DIDN'T see. One of the problems about the progression of cinema, is that movies now feel like they have to show everything, all the blood and gore, so much now that we've become desensitized. But look at this movie, it was highly effective and graphic, yet you didn't really see much. You didn't SEE the results of Lust, but the man telling the story was enough. You didn't SEE what was in the box, but you knew, and not seeing it made it worse. Brilliant filmmaking.

      MannequinStep No, that's just an image of her that flashed through his mind, which is what triggered his following actions. You can tell it's not "just" her head, looks like she's lying on a bed, plus her facial expression is not that of a person who was recently murdered. And, no blood. But blood was all over the box.

    After Doe says "She begged for her life, and for the life of the baby inside of her", it was originally written in the script: "Oh, you didn't know" (directed at Mills.) But it was then BRILLIANTLY changed to "Oh, he didn't know" (directed at Somerset.) That little line pushed Mills over the edge so much harder by relegating him to a "third-person" position who had no inkling of his wife's pregnancy. Spacey's acting here just sends chills down my spine!

It was a visual representation of the emergence of the emotion that was taking place in Mills heart in that moment. He was crushed that she was dead, and all it took was one split second of his remembrance of the purity of his love for her for him to make up his mind. She was his light. And John Doe simply had to pay for destroying his light. I tear up at that part every time. Any man who ever loved and taken care of a woman understands the power of this scene.

      Here's something you need to understand: A well-written character isn't perfectly interchangeable with a great actor/actress.
      Brad Pitt did a good job. A good job doesn't mean an exceptional job comparable to the finest thespians.
      There's another thing you need to learn too. Just being angry and full of rage is possibly the easiest emotion to convey. The likes of you are way too easily swayed by this.
      "Complexity" ?? Please tell me you're joking.

    My god, this scene. The twist of Pitt's wife being dead, amplified even more by the reveal that she was pregnant. The emotion on Pitt's face as he realizes that his wife and future child have been taken from him, and the way the music swells as it hits him. The way Spacey’s villain character smiles when he realizes that Pitt’s character didn’t know his wife was pregnant, knowing he’s won at that point and there’s nothing Morgan Freeman’s character can do to convince Pitt not to kill him. God, what a fucking masterpiece.

Although John Doe was insane and absolutely deserved to die a jury simply wouldn't recognise it that way and would still prosecute him all the same. Even if they sympathise with him their job is to recognise if a crime was committed and as far as they would be concerned David brutally shot and murdered an unarmed man. Even murdering scumbags are classed as victims if they themselves were to be murdered. He couldn't even use a self defence argument as there were several witnesses who could say that was a lie. He may ultimately have a reduced sentence or leniency from a judge due to his years of service on the force but he would absolutely go to prison regardless.

    Was lucky enough to show this to a bunch of friends as adults. They’d never seen it before - some had never even heard of it. So I was the only one in the room who had any idea what was going on. Watching them figure out the pieces alongside Mills and Somerset, including the multiple jaw drops that occurred during this scene, was absolutely fantastic. Honestly one of my favorite films because of it, since all those friends have since moved away.

      Must've been pretty good to somewhat re-live the experience of seeing this movie for the first time through some friends!
