''Seven'' (sometimes stylized as ''SE7EN'')〔 is a 1995 American neo-noir psychological thriller film directed by David Fincher, and stars Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow, John C. McGinley, R. Lee Ermey and Kevin Spacey. The film was based on a screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker. ==Plot== In an unnamed American city, soon-to-be-retiring Detective William R. Somerset (Freeman) is partnered with short-tempered-but-idealistic Detective David Mills (Pitt), who recently transferred to the department, moving to the city with his wife Tracy (Paltrow). Mills introduces Somerset to Tracy, after which Somerset becomes her confidant. Tracy is displeased with the city and feels it is no place to raise a child, something she has not yet told Mills about. Somerset sympathizes with her, having a similar situation with his ex-girlfriend many years earlier, and advises her to only tells Mills if she plans on keeping the child. Somerset and Mills investigate a string of murders tied to a serial killer. The first victim is an obese man forced to eat until his stomach exploded. The second was a rich attorney who died from both fatal bloodletting and the removal of a pound of flesh. They find clues that tie the two cases together, leading them to a third possible victim's apartment. There, they find the victim, a known drug dealer and child molester, still alive but strapped to a bed and emaciated, with a series of pictures of the restrained victim, taken over the last year. They come to recognize the cases are connected by the seven deadly sins, the three known victims representing gluttony, greed, and sloth. The photos also show their killer has been planning these deaths for some time. Somerset and Mills identify a man named John Doe (Spacey), who has checked out many library books on the deadly sins. Doe flees when they go to his apartment, and Mills gives chase. Doe eventually corners and holds Mills at gunpoint, but after a few moments, drops the gun and escapes. At Doe's apartment, they find hundreds of handwritten notebooks of Doe's irrational judgement, and clues leading to a fourth victim. They arrive too late to prevent the death of the lust victim: a prostitute killed by an unwilling man wearing a bladed S&M device on his genitals, forced by Doe to simultaneously rape and kill her, severely traumatizing him. They are alerted to their pride victim, a supermodel that had her face mutilated by Doe, and given the option by her killer either to call 9-1-1 or commit suicide by pills. Later, Somerset and Mills are approached by Doe, his hands covered in blood and giving himself up for arrest. They discover Doe has been removing the skin on his fingers to avoid leaving behind prints, while the blood is that of a yet-identified victim. Doe, through his lawyer, offers to show the detectives to that victim and confess to the murders under very specific terms, or he will otherwise plead insanity. Somerset is wary, but Mills agrees. The two drive Doe out to a remote desert region, where a delivery van approaches them. Mills holds Doe at gunpoint while Somerset goes to intercept the driver, who was instructed to bring a box out to them. As Somerset recovers the box and sends away the driver, Doe begins telling Mills about how jealous he is of Mills' life and marriage to Tracy and their coming child, making Mills antagonistic. Somerset opens the box, and in horror, tells Mills to stay back and not listen to Doe. Doe continues to goad Mills as Mills frantically asks what is in the box. Doe reveals that he was so jealous of Mills, that he killed Tracy and her head is in the box. Doe wants to be killed as to become the victim of envy and that by extracting vengeance on him, Mills would become wrath. Despite Somerset's attempt to stop him, Mills repeatedly fires his gun into Doe, killing him. Police converge and take a decimated Mills away. Later, Somerset leaves the police department in a voice-over, he paraphrases a quote by Ernest Hemingway: "'The world is a fine place, and worth fighting for'...I agree with the second part." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seven (1995 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
