The Seven Deadly Sins

If a murderer kills people who have committed crimes against the rest of the world, then what kind of deed has he committed? Should a sinner judge, let alone punish another sinner. The bible says, “He without sin cast the first stone,” but I am no one to judge. This is one of many thoughts that occurred to me while watching Seven (Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman). The murderous masterpiece he creates really is mind boggling. Are we supposed to pity the victims of the seven deadly sins anymore than we would pity the people of Sodom and Gomorrah? One murderer does not think so. The John Doe murderer believes he was put on this earth to take out people who are living testaments to the seven deadly sins. What do you think? Another big question is why would he want to turn himself in before the last two murders are found? You do not realize until it actually happens....Murderer John Doe knows exactly what he is saying. He has this whole murderous masterpiece of the seven deadly sins planned to a tee... and everything works out perfectly, to John Doe’s liking.

For some strange reason, I knew exactly who the sixth victim was going to be to end the movie in a bang. I did not want to be right but unfortunately, I was right. All he could talk about was how big this was going to be; then I thought, who was missing from the movie and what character has not been seen in a good minute. And I knew it was her.

If you really think about it, we are all demonstrators of the seven deadly sins. In this world, no one is safe. Who is next to be punished for their sins?

  2. This movie is very thought provoking and that is what kept me intrigued. This movie is about a man who picks his victims based on the seven deadly sins. Think about it...we are all guilty of one of them if not all. Let us face the facts, the movie is dark twisted, but it reminds me of one of my favorite shows (CSI) with a deeper message behind it. Honestly, the first thing that drew me in was a movie with two amazing actors whose work I greatly admire. Anything with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman in it, I will definitely take some time to watch it.
