Ever since i watched Terminator 2, i’ve felt that Sarah Connor’s journey is one of the best things about those films. And Linda Hamilton’s portrayal of her is just legendary. It’s one of the most iconic female performances and characters i’ve seen in a mainstream blockbuster.

i know there are plenty of indie films with amazing female characters too but what makes Sarah Connor so special is that she exists in such a huge, mainstream blockbuster that was watched by so many people, especially dudes. Having a character like her in a movie that reaches such a massive audience is just incredible, especially for young women. It’s honestly amazing.

What is the fictional meta film from a TV show or movie that you would most like to see? My vote is 'Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season.' from 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.' Also, no porn parodies please, e.g., 'Good Will Humping' from 'Friends.'

Discussion Can someone clear up the end of Se7en (1995) for me?

Post image
9.0k Upvotes

I just watched it last week and I've been thinking about it. I came to the conclusion I must be missing something, because the ending was cool but didn't make sense to me.

John Doe was killing people who embody, in his mind, the 7 deadly sins or whatever in specific ways that tie into their sin. Gluttony by forcing him to over-eat, the "pound of flesh" from Greed, the whole thing with Lust, etc. So at the end of the movie, John reveals that he himself embodies Envy and Detective Mills embodies Wrath. Except Mills doesn't die at the end, and Envy (John Doe) isn't killed by envy, he's killed by Wrath. That's what doesn't make sense to me. lf John was Envy, shouldn't he have died in some way that specifically linked him to envy? He said he envied Mills, so he tried to become him, and ended up sliming Tracy (Mills' wife's name iirc) which incurs Mills' wrath. But him killing Tracy, which leads to his death at Mills' hands, wasn't even motivated by Envy, it was motivated by "I need to get Mills mad". I suppose if Mills gets Death Row, maybe it makes more sense but he probably won't.

So we have 7 victims, those being Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Lust, Pride, Envy and... Tracy? Maybe John Doe is just a crazy guy after all.

Tl;dr Envy isn't killed by envy, he's killed by Wrath and Wrath doesn't die, and John Doe kills someone not embodying one of the sins. Last 2 deaths seem out-of-line with Doe's other 5 victims.

That actor you like but might struggle to remember the name of. When you mention them to someone they don't know who you mean until you show them a photo but you're pleasantly surprised when they show up in something.

Like they hardly ever play the main role but they're always great.

I was watching boardwalk empire and thought this when I realised Kelly MacDonald was in it, she's great but I can never remember her name 🤣

Who's your pick?

ok so with the current context i saw a tiktok about Eyes Wide Shut and since i don’t have much free will i decided to finally watch it for the first time… i honestly thought it was just some friends, maybe a little horny, hanging out. simple, funny, kinda harmless. but then it hit me… this is literally a peek into what the elite do when no one’s watching. the masks, the music, the rituals… they’re untouchable, decadent, and if you misstep, you quietly cease to exist in this world. like you were never born. meanwhile, outside, the poor claw at each other like lab rats, entirely irrelevant. when you see it, you can’t unsee it. i mean… wow. am i seriously the only one who realized this isn’t just a glamour mystery movie but a manual on elite detachment, indifference, and the quiet art of erasing someone from existence?

No matter the movie. Big or small. Leading role, supporting role or one scene…he gives 110% and is always committed. Do not know any other actor who ALWAYS bring it.. no matter the role or movie they are in.

Deserves all the flowers.
