It's hard to believe that there was a time when only movies like this dominated the box office. Now it's all just marvel and star wars on a seemingly endless loop of predicibility and monotomy.
Time will come again. The dumb popcorn stuff and the big studios are on decline, which will give more power to the small, creative guys with a small budget...like Lucar once was....he came when the movies of the 60s and 70s died....we will get new iconic stuff again, and raise those creators on a pedestal so they will become what they hate now and rinse repeat. Humans are that primitive...sadly...
This is by far one of the most perfect films ever made, the scenery and the atmosphere is so iconic and eerie, I've been watching art films for about 25 years, and still, Se7en is one of the very, very best, ever! This inspired me to watch it again now....
I don't know why you're saying this, because I simply cannot see what's so awful about Pitt's acting in this film. And just to avoid any possible confusion or misunderstanding, I'm not a B.Pitt fan - not at all! But I do claim him to be quite good and talented actor, who, throughout his career, had given us numerous and various stunning performances. Maybe this one isn't amongst the best, but I sure find it to be of a good quality. His character represents the youth, the naivety, a person who, based on his experience so far, has found himself in a world where people like him don't belong. He's the man who represents human curiosity, the point of view on life which is untainted with the filthy trades of the human nature, so his stands are essentially based on ideological basis, hence (a part of) his naivety. And a character like B.Pitt fits all those trades extremely well, for a film story like this one, in Seven. Maybe you simply don't like him, or despise the big Hollywood names (don't think I'm crazy about them, on the contrary, I watch completely different films, and the list of my favorite actors is totally different - mostly with foreign, but there are Americans - even Hollywood names, in it - and I'm not an American, nor British), and maybe that's the reason you feel this way about Pitt in this role. Otherwise, I can't see why you'd be characterizing it as a complete miscast! Plus, take into an account that it's 1995, and he wasn't a huge name back then, but a rising star. So I don't argue about his contribution in selling tickets, but to point it as the soul reason for casting him?! I don't think so. Don't forget that he and Fincher knew one another before it, and made a few films afterwards as well. Now, taking into an account how long my comment is, it'll turn out that even though I'm saying that I'm not a Brad Pit fan, I actually am! But that's not the case! I just find Seven to be one of the best and most important American films of the 90's, and I think it's simply perfect!
Pitt is a pretty mediocre actor, but he was used correctly in this movie to great effect. He was the hothead with something to prove, but ends up being completely undone by John Doe
The "box" scene without any music score in the background feels for some reason all the more stark and real, as if it actually feels you're watching a real event. I like it
It is so unbelivable in how much detail they think and talk, this is not a overflatt talking round, it`s a extremely emotional response of how to make movies with an deep impact.
The effort made into creating se7en is unforgettable now that I have seen what I was going to. By today's standards, Se7en could easily score an Oscar in production of the sets and props. This was a raw give-away. To get your eyes on something more intresting, watch Indie Film Hustle's take on it.
I rewatch it today and i think I watched more than 20 times before , but it’s my first time to do It at 4:00am , big HD screen , high sound system and I realize the music at the final scene was so great and hold the breath . This movie is a masterpiece
Kevin is a great actor and he is the one who asked to not show him in the poster of the movie or mention his name and never met Brad and Morgan before his scene with them . All that Mede everything looks realistic
This is one of my favorite movies. It shows the state of where human beings are as far as society is concerned. When human beings are placed in large numbers in an area, after a time they become depraved, and wickness reigns.
this movie got me interested in Dantes inferno the divine comedy and the 7 sins.I felt like I was shown hell in this movie.The crime scenes were just brutal and realistic.
The script is online to read. Which you can see what was initially written and filmed. If you buy the collectors edition of se7en, I'm pretty sure on the second disk is where they have all the alternate scenes
I love the movie. One of my favorites, but there are a lot of stuffs that happens that simply makes zero sense. Morgan Freeman (his character) there at the end, with all his insight and intelligence could easily prevent Brad Pitt from shooting the guy. From all the possibilities he picked the worst one. The one that would make Kevin Spacey's plan work perfectly and that was just too dumb to be believable, we know Freeman is wiser than that. How about Spacey arriving by TAXI in front of the station drenched in blood? How on Earth did the TAXI drivers picked him up like that?
I think the taxi part was kind of to show more of the worldbuilding. This is a society ruled by apathy, as shown throughout the entire runtime of the film. So it wouldn't be too far-fetched to consider that the person just didn't care enough to bother. As for Freeman's character, I'm not entirely sure what he could have done.
@@errwhattheflip We are going to agree to disagree on the taxi part, because even though I understand the apathy theme and all, I don't think John Doe would get a cab to stop. Cab drivers don't give a rats ass about a lot things but blood on their seat is not one of them. Regarding the Freeman's character, he could easily walk back, pretending he had seen nothing in the box that was of any relevance. take Brad Pitt's weapon from him (in various different ways) and prevent the killing from happening. I know the movie works better the way it did, but my point was only regarding the likelihood of those actions actually transpiring. I love the movie to bits. Wouldn't change one single frame. I am just saying there are quite a few very convenient bits, as most movies do.
@@VelhaGuardaTricolor As for the taxi thing, I don't think it's too big of an issue considering that people didn't even notice Doe's character until he yelled out for the detectives. As I said earlier, I think that kinda exemplifies the apathy and weirdness of this world
@@errwhattheflip Yeah but you take examples out of the same movie that was scripted so people wouldn't react until he yelled. For sure that is the theme of the movie. You are absolutely right on that. But I never disputed it. What I say is that script aside a taxi driver in any big city will never ever pick up anyone in broad day light that is drenched in blood, even if they don't care why the person is like that. But they care about their car seats. That is all. So to me the scene is a bit too absurd. But like I've said. It works for the movie and to create the impact it desired. My point is comparing it to reality.
It's hard to believe that there was a time when only movies like this dominated the box office. Now it's all just marvel and star wars on a seemingly endless loop of predicibility and monotomy.
It's hard to believe that there was a time, long, long ago in a far off galaxy...
I don't know, I remember there was a lot of crap around too. This was something else though...

And this movie is so beautiful.. the use of low contrast filming (fog, filters?, kino flows) coupled with the set design and lighting are just amazing
We have Darius Khondji to thank for it...A pure maestro of photography and cinema!
Do u know where to download the movie
The "box" scene without any music score in the background feels for some reason all the more stark and real, as if it actually feels you're watching a real event. I like it
felt the same, high intesiv.
The sheer detail and thought behind John Doe's notebook is insane for it just to have 2 seconds of screentime.

Great movie.

This movie is a masterpiece
Jesus, all the best damn people came together on this one. Amazing work by all of 'm.
Kevin is a great actor and he is the one who asked to not show him in the poster of the movie or mention his name and never met Brad and Morgan before his scene with them . All that Mede everything looks realistic
Incredible movie ! It reminds the Silence of the lambs. Perfect ! Thanks !
My favourite film ever
This is one of my favorite movies. It shows the state of where human beings are as far as society is concerned. When human beings are placed in large numbers in an area, after a time they become depraved, and wickness reigns.
Mouse colony collapse experiment.
woodstock 99
really thanx for upload that! one of the best movies human beeing! :)
This is not the making of, but the commentary. still thanks
this movie got me interested in Dantes inferno the divine comedy and the 7 sins.I felt like I was shown hell in this movie.The crime scenes were just brutal and realistic.
The title sequence is so creepy. Still disturbing every time I watch it.
This movie opened me up to david fincher.
Super série de making of , continuez 👍
Esse vídeo tem 9 anos cara kkkkkk
O my I want one of the John Doe notebooks!!
seriously If those were sold in book form...trans-media storytelling!
Ryan Paul McCarthy Hell yeah.
"You get me closer to God "

great film
Epic shit! Thanks
I would’ve loved to have seen a garden of High Tension towers in the scene of them driving. Such a missed opportunity.
What version is this? I have never seen that intro scene in chino or this version of the title sequence.
It never made it into the final cut but in the script it's the opening
BIGBIRD208
Is it available somewhere? If so, what is it called? E.g. Rough cut.
The script is online to read. Which you can see what was initially written and filmed. If you buy the collectors edition of se7en, I'm pretty sure on the second disk is where they have all the alternate scenes
BIGBIRD208 I thought it had never been filmed!
Still my all-time favourite comedy, actually ... black comedy, mind.
its appeal lay in its kinky violence
a halllmark of fincher
insane details
Not the making of but the director commentary. And nothing about Darius Khondkji, the director of photography ?!?
this is not a "making of"
Nice looking story boards.
I miss movies before CGI ruined everything
To everyone reading this comment, why are you here?
poor tracey

.
who is the narrator?//
David fincher, the director
it wasn't meant to be exciting.
+outlander lol.. heading to Silence of the Lambs Making Of... i hope this is gonna be better.
+soyhard deren you want to watch "Silence of the Lambs - The Inside Story". its great.
I love the movie. One of my favorites, but there are a lot of stuffs that happens that simply makes zero sense.

You are talking about a man who got someone to kill a girl with a bladed strap-on. You think he is going to have difficulty getting a taxi?
I think the taxi part was kind of to show more of the worldbuilding. This is a society ruled by apathy, as shown throughout the entire runtime of the film. So it wouldn't be too far-fetched to consider that the person just didn't care enough to bother.

pitt plays this character as such a goofy spaz.
hard to believe he would be a working detective...
Wrong
Maybe the dullest "making of" video ever.
+outlander why is that little boy
how about because I said so? good enough for you?
+Rod Salka p4p Legend He's right this is terrible. I didn't it was possible to be so boring while talking about such a great movie.
It's interesting for people who want to know about cinematic technique.
lmao its a making of video.. what do you want explosions and shooting and shit in a making of video?
Thank you very much for this very interesting "making of" of one of the best and weirding film ever made.
