“If someone cut your head off I’d definitely pull the trigger” “Awww thanks Honey” 🤣🤣

G. Paltrow told a few times how Brad put Harvey Weinstein against the wall and told him to stay the fuck away from her. You have to like the guy after that and admire his career even more.

When the Mrs said she’d be ok because there were no jump scares, I just laughed to myself and waited for Sloth.

This is my favourite Kevin Spacey documentary.

Occam's razor is the principle that, of two explanations that account for all the facts, the simpler one is more likely to be correct.

I hated that she figured it out so quickly. I was like 15 or 16 when I saw this movie and the car ride with John Doe was so frightening to me because he had the upper hand the entire time and Brad Pitt's character couldn't get that through his damn thick head for some reason. Morgan Freeman knew something was up. I knew too.... But I didn't think it was that. I remember my Mom thinking the dogs' heads were in the box. Yikes.

20:02 "They're supposed to be in New York..." This movie was filmed completely in Los Angeles. According to Fincher, he tried to make the actual location ambiguous because he wanted it to represent any scary big city full of crime. So it's kind of a fictional, film noir LA.

They purposely left Kevin Spacey out of the opening credits so no one would know he was the killer.

You should react to "Zodiac", also directed by David Fincher.

Fun Fact: the reason why Morgan Freeman got the role of Alex Cross in the two movies that came out based on the books in the late 90's early 00's is cause of his performance as Detective/Lieutenant William Somerset in Seven.

Kevin Spacey does play the photographer and you can tell it is Kevin Spacey masking his natural voice when you re-watch the movie.

my favorite line in this movie is when john doe says: "I didn't do that." after we heard "There's a dead dog here." desert scene

First rule of Seven, don't ask what's in the box

That jump scare with the guy on the bed scared me so bad I almost ran out of the theater.

As soon as she figured out the final twist so far in advance, I had to give this video a thumb's up. Very sharp.

I don't think I've ever seen someone guess the attack coming for Mil's wife! Great hypothesising. I saw this pretty young, and not only did I not guess that Mil's wife would be killed when the movie finished I was asking my brother what was in the box, I had no idea! Se7en is one of my favourite movies of all time, though I rarely watch it. So well shot, acted and written. It oozes broody, dark ambience and character. Your comment regarding the city is spot on, and someone else described it as another character in the movie - so comparing it to Gotham is super accurate Small bit of trivia, Brad Pitt seriously injured himself in the rain chase scene - his arm went through a windscreen, and I think a tendon was severed. The cast he wears was not in the script, but a result of the injury EDIT: Definitely check out Usual Suspects, it is another great movie. Alien 3, its worth checking out, though it can spoil Alien/Aliens. I'd check out the Assembly cut which is in my opinion better than the theatrical - its also worth looking into all the drama that stemmed from the script writing to the directing, and how Fincher was screwed over being brought on because he was inexperienced and controllable

Neat bit of trivia, Kevin Spacey insisted his name not appear in the opening credits so that he would be a surprise.

+You,Me,&TheMovies: It was Kevin Spacey as the photographer he just made his voice higher in pitch and, you also see him enter the diner when Tracy and William are meeting there.

Kevin Spacey performance in this is some of the best acting shit i have ever seen. He says like 50 words in this movie and his actual time on screen is like 2 minutes and yet i loved every second of that. Just absolutely briliant. Also love the fact his name was not present in the opening or anywhere before the movie premiere. You would not hide such a huge thing these days. I will also never get "LUST" out of my head. It's making me both both mentally and physically uncomfortable maybe more than anything. Turning something so pleasant and beautiful into such a nightmare. I can't even imagine the pain that woman had to go through. It makes seriously sick. And i'm fuckin Guy🤣 Imagine if i was a woman. Also i too figured out it's Gwyneth's head in the box and i kinda loved Gwyneth so i felt Pitt's pain. Plus can you imagine finding out she was pregnant in "this" situation. God i would revive Mengele to do experiments on Spacey. Bullet to the head was too easy way out. And the fact that in this movie the bad guy actually wins is so fresh. I wish i saw this like a decade or two ago. It's still amazing but nothing is timeless. I love things like this. Slow paced pitch dark dramas. Love Fincher's style. You gotta try "Mindhunter". It's a Netflix series. And it's absolutely breathtaking. It's crime drama about psychological study of serial killers. It's dark, it's slow, it has uncomfortable atmoshpere, brilliant script and dialogs. AND insanely good casting of the murderers.

Wow your wife saw pretty much everything coming way ahead of time :) Congrats for being able to keep a straight face even when she predicted EXACTLY what was going to happen

Did you just bring an Occam's Razor to a Chekhov's Gun fight? I believe that's against the Murphy's Law. Best. Leo.

These movie detectives need to hire you to solve their mysteries. You were way ahead of the curve on the plot.

6:37 “What is this, Gotham City?” Funny she should say that because I could see Se7en had an influence on The Batman

I think the Sloth jump scare went down as one of the scariest jump scares in movie history.

Become Wrath David. Best twist ever.

Mills' wife is mentioned three times after she's already dead. Fincher keeps reminding the audience of her, and yet few see it coming. I sure didn't. Kudos to everyone who did.

Legends of the Fall. Another one to add to your list.

You did a better job at predicting the ending than I did when I first saw it. When I walked out of the theater I was literally in a daze for hours after this movie.

Occam's razor: the simplest explanation is usually the best one.

Chekhov's gun: If a gun is on the wall in Act I, it must be used by the end of Act III. Alternatively, if a gun is used in Act III, it must be seen in Act I or II. Occam's Razor: All things being equal, the explanation with the fewest assumptions is usually the best one. and a new one to many people... Hanlon's Razor: Don't attribute actions to malice when incompetence or mistake will suffice.

I think ive only seen this movie twice all the way through in one sitting but "What's in the box???" is the one movie quote I say the most. such a good scene ugh

My friends and I always thought there was a great similarity between this movie's credits and Nine Inch Nails music videos. Fincher later went on to work on NIN promos after this film.

“I like murderers.”😆🤣😂 I never thought I’d ever be watching videos of reactions to movies yet here I am. You guys seem authentic, genuine, & kind. You’re a nice couple too. The videos are great. I’ll have to see if they are any flicks that you haven’t seen that I can recommend. I know you’ve seen Snatch which I love & also the Conjuring. I’m like her when it comes to horror. I can’t watch that stuff alone. Off the top of my head, I’d recommend “In Bruges.” Ever seen it? It’s an “indie” flick that stars Ralf Fiennes, Colin Farrell & Brendan Gleeson who should be familiar to you two. It’s a dark comedy with a unique story & dark humor that is really greater than the sum of its parts. It’s really good & underrated. Definitely check it out.

Check out "Fight Club".....it's a David Fincher direction with Brad Pitt and Edward Norton.....can't go wrong there!

This city really is inspired by Gotham City . In a Q and A session , director David Fincher said that he wanted to call it Gotham City and even asked for permission but DC denied .

Definetly watch 'The Usual Suspects', a mustsee for every movie lover. You guys make great reactions!

"This is not even my desk." Great line. Always makes me laugh.

9:35 The dreary crime ridden city, the themed exotic crimes. I remember thinking the same thing, Gotham City, 10+ years ago. Then I saw Film Theory made a vid linking all kinds of detail I didn't even think about. The city is never named or referenced on any badge or sign, the crooked guy who gave them the library info was a crooked cop in Nolan's trilogy. On and on. Idk how intentional but it's fun so therefore it's clearly Gotham before Batman. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aZ_8HvUWNRs.html

'The Usual Suspects' is well worth a watch. It's a great ensemble cast, a well-written script, with good pacing and a nice twist at the end.

I'm pretty sure any jury that sat on that case would return a verdict of "Detective Mills did nothing wrong."

One of the two alternate endings had Morgan Freeman's character shoot John Doe so John didn't win.

I saw this at the cinema when I was 18. Damn it messed me up. I was a huge horror nerd but this one shook me. Still great for a rewatch 25 years later.

My grandma had those Franciscan Apple dishes too.

Yep that's something ive been told. if you're in trouble or under attack in an alley way or something, Scream Fire. People are curious about fire and will come looking, They stay away from help. no one cares for help.

this is a truly powerful and chilling film....but I have never been able to watch it again because of the ending.

One of my all time favorites. The atmosphere is so fucking perfect something about it gets me nostalgic everytime ha. Wifey w/ the top tier commentary she's hilarious as usual.

This movie ranked at #26 in the 100 scariest movie moments on Bravo

My favorite serial killer films. Se7en, silence of the lambs, American psycho, mr. Brooks, and taking lives.

Not exactly sure what specific city it is but not too many cities in this country have elevated subway trains so that might be a clue.

I have SO MANY of your videos for me to watch and catch up on! I L O V E your reactions and laugh my arse off all the time! SO much fun! Thanks for the content!

Occam's Razor - the simplest solution is the best, the simplest explanation is the most probably correct. Checkov's gun - if there is a gun on the scene in the first part of the play, somebody must fire it by the end of the play.

That theory about Spacey's character being in both this and Usual Suspects... No way, I don't see it. They are two totally different characters. Something must have went really, catastrophically wrong in Verbal's life to bring him to the place he is in in Seven. The only way I can see it happening is if he underwent the reprograming treatment that Alex went through in A Clockwork Orange, and it went REALLY bad.

Most people think of sloth as lazy but in reality it is more doing something you prefer over something you are supposed to. When the list was first written and they discussed sloth they were talking about the feeling of boredom and wanting to do something else when they were doing their noon day prayers.

One more: If you want to see another great Pit movie that also stars Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones, you guys should react to SNATCH, a British Crime-Comedy in the vein of Lock, Stock, and Two-Smoking Barrels.

hell, just put every Fincher film ever on the List lol. loooove me some David Fincher. started with Nine Inch Nails music videos and Alien 3 (which technically doesn't count lol) and just kept banging out masterpiece after masterpiece. I even like his version of Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Panic Room is an underrated gem imo too

Love when she says 'Hey There' to Brad :)

You are GIFTED at for seeing the upcoming plot. Right from the beginning. Good for you.

You’re better than I am, that ending was a complete twist to me when I saw it.

I love this movie! I love you both. I subscribed a couple months ago and I've been watching your videos. Love the Lost reactions!

Wait till you see *SILENCE OF THE LAMBS*

A friend of mine had a watch party for the Oscars, late nineties, and she invited me over. I hadn't been to a watch party since 1969. I was intrigued and I mounted my bicycle and got to the party, already in session. Kevin Spacey was onscreen and was hosting? 2 minutes of Kevin and I was out, I left the party. Why did you leave? asked my friend. Kevin creeps me out, I told her.

First of me encountering your channel folks, only halfway through but had to tip my hat to you Sir for your statement, "round here people come to help". How decency is displayed. Cheers from Scotland.

This is the first time I've seen someone predict it this well. Never heard of that theory between Usual Suspects and Seven. Does not seem to fit at all to me.

I think the razor meaning is 'the most likely explanation is usually the actual explanation' ie: If you hear hoof steps in central park, it's most likely a horse and not a zebra.

The guy in the booth at the massage parlor was Michael Massee. He played Funboy in The Crow and he was the guy that accidentally shot Brandon Lee. On a separate note, look up the seven heavenly virtues. They are basically the opposite of the seven deadly sins.

She asks the questions we all asked in Theaters 26 years ago.. I was there and kept rewatching.. Love this channel.. FYI, I have that t shirt in white

If I remember correctly in the book it states that the city is New York

Another great mystery movie with Kevin Spacey, Russel Crowe, and Guy Pearce is "L.A. Confidential" (1997). It won two Academy Awards for best screenplay and best actress.

"Buffalo Bill" was in Silence of the Lambs (and a Western legend), but "Wild Bill" refers to Wild Bill Hickok, who is a totally different person from that era.

"oooh, he's been dead a while.." Hee hee *gets excited for the reveal*

i just recently found this channel and i absolutely love you guys!

Pretty sure Kevin Spacey does this regularly in reality too.

This movie is in my top ten greatest movies of all time. Whenever I see the ending I remember the movie commentary. Fincher and Pitt were doing the commentary. In that last scene where Brad pushes the gun against Spacey's head, he gives a quick glance off-camera. Brad said Spacey was pissed he shoved the gun against his head so hard so he gave Fincher a look. Knowing what we know about Spacey now, good going Brad.

There was no Wild Bill in Silence of the Lambs. That was Buffalo Bill.

The ending scene of "What's in the BOOOOOX?" has been used as a meme, great for anytime someone receives a box of something.

She’s way too smart, well done figuring it all out.

You want to see Silent Hill 2006. You'll see barbed wire used much more horrifically. P.S. Would luv to see you react to Interview with the Vampire.

I was just thinking about the idea of Chekhov's Gun the other day. Anton Chekhov's most famous quote is "If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired. Otherwise don't put it there." It's basically that if something isn't necessary don't show it because it offers false promise to the audience. Your general audience probably doesn't worry about it too much but once you're familiar with the concept it's much easier to spot. Everyone uses it. The not quite great writers/directors give the game away by making it super obvious. Your top writers/directors know that audiences are far more savvy to these things so they have to figure out ways to do it without looking like they're setting something up for later. It's an interesting thing to keep in mind when watching films or TV.

David Fincher started to direct Alien 3. The crew and cast had to finish it up by themselves ...with my help, I might add. A lot of the vibe of usual suspects was still with the crew as we started "7" tho... emotionally draining for all of us. I preferred "Brother, Where art thou?" A much happier experience for all concerned.

.........My Favorite response from her..."Aye Caramba".........Laugh every time she says it

"Should we watch Usual Suspects"....uhhh, yeah, pretty sure all your subscribers would be down for that!!

i was 23 when i saw this movie and for some reason it really messed with my head, No Pun Intended! i think the ending disturbed me knowing they were going to have a family and that she didn't really have anything to do with the case. besides, i couldn't imagine seeing a loved ones head in a box!!

Occam's Razor is the easiest explanation is usually the correct one. It's used & found in both scientific areas and philosophical areas of study. I learned more about basic physics, mathematics, and those areas when I took Ancient to modern Philosophy in college courses. They had an understanding of our world in ancient philosophy that is used today.

You have my vote for THE USUAL SUSPECTS. I actually preferred SEVEN but THE USUAL SUSPECTS is one hell of a mind-bender if you don't know the ending.

Nearly every man would pull the trigger. You can try to sell yourself on the idea that you wouldn't, but you're lying to yourself. That's the genius of the scenario. Spacey's character is right to be so smug; there wasn't any realistic chance of the plan failing.

"I like murderers..." Awkward!

I envy your little Crow and Tom Servo.

Damn I didn't realize how long ago this was. Gwyneth Paltrow was 23?! That means I was 15. Time fliess :( lol

Mrs Movies is adorable!! For someone who doesn’t watch these kind of movies she called 2 things in it!! I never figured it was her head. Too caught up in the world. Love your guys’ interchanges

I think you guys would like The Bone Collector. Similar creepy mystery vibes

Occums razor is that the simplest solution is most often the correct one.

I think I read somewhere that sloth can also refer to not taking the advantages of life and disregarding opportunities. or choosing to not live prosperously even though you had all the availabilities to do so

This is my favorite movie. The scene in the car was perfect 👌

David Finch was Known for directing Music videos for the music group The Cure before getting hired to direct Alien 3, I hated Alien 3 but love Alien 4.

You two are an amazing couple. Keep it up.

love theses older movies growing up easy to predict but what a ride they are. edit: also what's in the box was said so many times lol

Kevin Spacey plays a good creep because it's not that far a stretch for him.

Have you seen "The Guard"? One of the first scenes of the movie is (very likely) a joke about/reference to this movie. If not, you should watch it, it is hilarious. Anyway, good reaction. And I am also enjoying your reaction to the first season of Dexter, great job!

WHAT'S IN THE BOX!!!
