30 Day Film Challenge Day 5 - A Film That Reminds You of Someone

Seven (David Fincher, 1995)

This is kind of cruel, but I’m not in a place right now to care. At least I don’t have to keep justifying to this person why a movie like this should exist. There is evil in the world, there is hate, there is cynicism, and Seven’s an examination of how these elements prey on the goodness of man. Morgan Freeman’s Somerset says it best in his final line: “Ernest Hemingway once wrote, ‘The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.’ I agree with the second part.”
