Se7en and Toy Story were the two movies available to us during my last weeks in the military.

I can't think about one without thinking of the other.

I have a much older Se7en steelbook, and it looks a lot nicer than the new one. I'm just buying a 4k disc to put inside of it. It'll cost me $27, but then I can re-sell the standard blu-ray & the digital code (I never use them) on ebay for probably $15. So I'll be out $12. Not a bad deal for a better quality disc.

This is definitely in my Pantheon of Favorite Movies.

The atmosphere created by the cinematography is fantastic, especially the lighting. It rains the entire movie until the terrible ending scene where it is sunny, superb.

I've always been a huge fan of Morgan Freeman (and Brad Pitt for that matter, this was pretty early for him obviously), and this role really suited him to a tee. How to be a good man in a shitty world is an interesting state of being for one of your main character, especially when he is at a point of giving up.

This shit bugs me so much.

Anyway, this movie is fantastic. I still think about it all too frequently, a lasting mental impression. I can never quite decide whether it's better or worse than Silence of the Lambs.

Silence of the Lambs has two iconic villains, Buffalo Bill and Lector. Spacey is good, but he's too silly as John Doe and he really has no purpose. Sending a message to somebody that sins are wrong and people will be talking about it forever because the bible. Some nonsense. He's got one really good scene in the back of the police car, meanwhile, BB and Lector chew up the whole movie with their crazy shit. BB actually has a goal and the young lady is going to die very soon unless Clarice can stop BB. It also has a super claustrophobic creepy final scene with Starling trying to find BB in complete darkness and he's right fucking next to her wearing NVGs about to kill her. Jody Foster put in an amazing performance as a strong woman that wasn't perfect and needed help to solve the case. Brad Pitt was kinda whiny and annoying. Morgan Freeman was great as well, but ultimately ineffective when all was said and done.

I think what elevates Se7en above a typical whodunnit thriller is David Fincher and his neo noir style of directing. It's all atmospheric and creepy. But I maintain that Lambs has that in spades.

Silence of The Lambs is a 10 while Se7en is probably a 9 or 9.5.

This is a wrong take and you should feel bad for having it.

There might have been some of the most self-defeating comments I've seen in a video there. He goes on a long ass rant about how copies degrade the film quality, and how 35mm scans don't match the original intent, and then mentions that people might be biased to thinking 35mm scans better reflect what they saw in the theater because they saw one of those degraded scans in a theater.

No shit Sherlock. If people are seeing the degraded version in the theater, they're gonna think that copy looks right.

As a kid the closest theater was a second run joint that was also, by far, the cheapest. Almost every movie I saw in a theater from age zero to fourteen was in that beautiful death trap. The rough 35mm scans in this video are what movies there often looked like.
