: These sins form the basis of the film's shocking climax in a desolate desert setting. Cast and Creative Team Director : David Fincher Screenwriter : Andrew Kevin Walker Lead Cast : Brad Pitt as Detective David Mills Morgan Freeman as Detective William Somerset Gwyneth Paltrow as Tracy Mills Kevin Spacey as John Doe
The shocking "box" finale subverts the traditional Hollywood ending by allowing the killer to "win" in a philosophical sense. By goading Detective Mills into the final sin—Wrath—John Doe completes his cycle and proves his point about the fragility of human virtue. Decades after its release, Se7en still leaves audiences with Somerset’s haunting final thought: "The world is a fine place and worth fighting for. I agree with the second part." Seven 1995 Filmyzilla
