Nicholas's film review in the Los Angeles Times uncharacteristically took up the entire page, which was very unusual for the Los Angeles Times. First, this is a comprehensive newspaper, not a professional media like "Hollywood Reporter" and "Variety"; Second, Nicholas is not a professional film critic, he is a journalist, although he often reviews films professionally, but more often he writes as an industry person, so he is not too professional.

But this time this is obviously not the case, Nicholas's film review not only adds his perspective as a journalist to analyze, but also is professional and in-depth enough to explain and analyze the entire "Seven Deadly Sins" together with recent hot events. Such a novel perspective was fully supported by the Los Angeles Times, which devoted an entire page to the page, and sparked a series of heated discussions.

"The main character settings in the 'Seven Deadly Sins' movie obviously have deep meaning and mystery!

Samose was reluctant to accept this case from the beginning, because the indifference of society made Samose feel tired, and he chose to escape, but his indifference and hesitation made the whole case reveal the first trace of darkness, and its fear did not come from its cruelty, but from the torture of the heart and the torture of society.

Therefore, in the whole process of solving the case, Samosai stood in a position of self-reflection, although the murderer's actions were absolutely not approved and supported, but the murderer's trial and redemption of society made Samose unable to refute. It is precisely because of this that Samosai hates the society and the city even more, and at the same time is even more powerless.

Because he hoped to be able to change this society, but he was so powerless, and in the end, he gave birth to martyrs like the murderer to do it. On the one hand, Samosai did not want the murderer to kill innocent people, and he tried his best to prevent it; But on the other hand, deep down, Samose sincerely hopes to change this social status quo, and this contradictory conflict makes his heart sad and complicated, which makes him from a rescuer to a bystander, and he is also the person closest to the audience's perspective.

Mills is different, he's a fledgling police detective, and he's full of * and drive -- the desire to make a name for himself, to become an overnight success, to be famous. I hope that he will always be in a positive attitude, but he does not see the nature and darkness of society. What he hopes for is not to rely on his own strength to fight against the whole society, but to become a hero, to be born as a savior, and to realize his self-worth.

Mills's unwavering commitment to justice is a glimmer of hope in the darkness of society, and his insistence on justice, loyalty to love, and faith in life are the only glimmers of light in the whole story. But this light is destined to not save the movie, let alone society, because Mills's starting point is not society, but self, and his desire for fame and fortune is itself a part of the darkness of society, and he cannot get rid of the entanglement of the seven deadly sins, which makes him not only a savior, but also a victim and a perpetrator.

The murderer undoubtedly embodies the core idea of the whole film, he is not only a rebel of society, but also a martyr of extremism, a microcosm of social despair, and an actor of social redemption.

The movie does not tell the ins and outs and background story of the murderer, but the dialogue at the end of the story shows the murderer's criticism of social indifference, rejection of social depravity and mockery of society's darkness.

The murderer did not hide his pleasure and enjoyment when he killed, but he firmly believed that he was punishing those sins for God, and used the bloody sins to make people clearly aware of the horror and squalor of the seven deadly sins, and hoped to bring light to society again in this way. In the eyes of the murderer himself, he was a savior; In the eyes of the victim, he is the perpetrator; In Samosai's view, he was both a martyr and a victim.

The positions of the three people, Samosey, Mills and the murderer, are intertwined, influenced and contradictory, which has become the biggest topic of reflection left for us in the film.

Both Samosai and the murderer express dissatisfaction with the indifference of society, they are both negative feelings, the former chooses to escape, the latter chooses the extreme; Both Samosai and Mills believe in the triumph of evil over evil, which is the brilliance of positive feelings, the former is calm and thoughtful, and the latter is heroic and vigorous; Both the murderer and Mills are one of the seven deadly sins, the product of social indifference and cruelty, lust. Hope led them to the end, but the former was a conscious guide, and the latter was a confused follower.

In addition, Neil Bozeman also expounded a point of view in "Entertainment to Death" that the emergence of new media has changed the way people perceive the world, which also determines that society is becoming more and more impetuous, more and more indifferent, and more and more cold.

The three protagonists represent three generations who have been influenced by different media. Samose grew up in a print media environment, and he should have been born around the twenties, when television was not yet widespread; And Mills is clearly the generation that grew up watching television; As for the murderer, it represents the transition generation of the flourishing of print media and the rise of television media. This can also see the differences in the personalities of the three people.

Printed matter is composed of characters and images, and the brain needs to constantly decode, remember, echo, and summarize when reading, which is a typical thinking process.

Television is a combination of light, shadow and sound, and people can easily understand the popular language and vivid pictures on TV when watching TV, which also creates Mills's manic, impulsive, irritable, oily, and sweary personality.

The murderer inherited both of these qualities, he was calm and calm, but at the same time he was not lacking in flexibility; He conceives exquisitely, but at the same time does not lack a grand vision; He maintained the classicism and retro, but at the same time absorbed the advanced and innovative cultural knowledge of the new generation. Thus, the martyrdom of the Seven Deadly Sins was born; So, the murderer toyed with Samoser and Mills.

It is this vague contradiction and entanglement that also makes the movie more ambiguous. It's ambiguous, but it's more profound.

In the movie, Mills and Samosa are the judges, and the murderer is the bloody handy. But in fact, the murderer's elegant and calm appearance and steady and calm words made Mills's strong-blooded, exaggerated and wanton expression and Samose's lifeless and hesitant attitude seem extremely pale, as if the murderer should be an all-knowing, all-powerful, calm and gentle God, and Shamoser and Mills are ignorant and ignorant human beings.

The audience is like Samose, it is difficult to agree with Mills, who represents justice, and it is difficult to rebuke the murderer who represents evil, and this hesitation and hesitation in the blurred line blurs the roles of the judge and the judged, as if the murderer is the detainee, and Shamose and Mills are the criminals, and God ferries mankind to the other side of the atonement.

This is also the biggest question and reflection that the 'Seven Deadly Sins' brings to all audiences!

The city in the movie, gray, damp, dirty, chaotic, with a series of murders, indifferent and hurried residents, and icy and biting weather, is simply hell on earth.

The whole movie is showing the world that human nature is depraved, and the guilty will inevitably be punished. The development of society is becoming more and more rational and materialistic, but at the same time, it has also become a shackle for people to bind themselves, money and commercial value have become a means to measure a value, and the relationship between people has become increasingly indifferent because of the involvement of interests. And the attitude of 'entertainment to death' has pushed this qiē to the peak, so that justice is no longer just, morality is no longer moral, evil is no longer evil, cruelty is no longer cruel, only indifference is still indifference.

In the story, the seven deadly sins are connected, and the seven victims constitute the seven deadly sins, which become a wake-up call to the world. But in the story, there is an obvious 'failure', the angry representative survives at the end of the story, does this mean that the murderer's plan failed? I once suspected that this was a loophole and a failure of the screenwriter, but after calming down and thinking about it carefully, it suddenly dawned on me that the survival of anger is the most thought-provoking finishing touch of the movie.

Anger, the existence of this emotion itself, is to remind people who are numb by indifference that they need to be angry with this society, they need to be angry at the society where money is supreme and entertainment is to death, and they need to be angry at this society that has lost its vitality and justice. So, in the end, it's anger that remains.

And the identity of the representative of anger is the biggest mockery of the whole story and the whole society, when the anger completely erupts at the end of the story, he proves the correctness of the murderer's belief with his actions, he is pushed to the altar by his own love, and all his beliefs and persistence are destroyed, so when the anger erupts, the angry eyes are hollow and dry like the walking dead, because the belief he pursues is shattered by his own actions, and at the same time proves the belief that he has always resisted, He also achieved the martyrdom of the object of his contempt, so the meaning of his life was destroyed. That's what 'unknowable' and 'undeniable' mean.

The survival of anger is the most tragic, profound and terrible moment among the seven people who were judged for the seven deadly sins.

It is a work full of despair, and from the first second of the story, the gloomy and gray tones lay the foundation for despair, which shows people the sinfulness and indifference of the world, but does not tell people how to avoid this deterioration of the situation. The murderer confronted society and completed martyrdom in the most extreme, cruel and bloody way, but left everyone with the biggest problem: what should they do?

The movie doesn't give an answer, but it lets everyone know: they can't be restrained, they need to resist, even if they don't know how to resist.

It can be said that every character in the story has a profound meaning, and the final trend of each character also has a profound meaning, representing every outsider, Samose finally looked at the tragedy in front of him without saying a word, but whispered, 'This world is beautiful and worth fighting for.' I only believe the second half of the sentence. The far-reaching reflection and reverberation quietly sounded in the hearts of every audience and every outsider. ”
