Research - Summary of seven - Task A

Summary of Se7en


The set for se7en is in a city that is not specified, however it appears to be similar to New York with a big city vibe to it. As you follow Detective Somerset (Morgan Freeman) and Detective Mills (Brad Pitt) as they chase a Pyschopath (Kevin Spacey).





The title of the thriller refers to the seven deadly sins:

Gluttony
Greed 
Sloth 
Envy
Wrath 
Pride
Lust
The detectives follow the footsteps of John Doe as he causes the death of seven victims being  patient, brutal  and careful. We don't see John Does face until he turns himself in right before the climatic ending, which shows he is a shady and mysterious character. The two detectives don't get on until the wife of Mills invites over Somerset. She then confides in him and meets him at a later point to inform him of her pregnancy, which Mills doesn't find out about until she is dead.
The final victim isn't someone that John Doe has directly murdered, he provokes Mills into shooting him and completing the seven deadly sins.
