Se7en

I've just finished watching Se7en, a movie that starred Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman as two detectives on the trail of a serial killer who chooses their victims according to the seven deadly sins. I know it was shown in movie houses like 10 years ago but, hey, I'm posting this just in case some of you guys haven't watched it yet and is interested to know how the story went.

First off, the antagonist, if one can call him that, killed a man for Gluttony. He was found dead from overeating.

Then a lawyer for Greed. The victim was found with a pound of flesh chopped off his belly. I didn't understand it at first but when I asked my sister about it, she told me that it has something to do with "paying off debt by giving a pound of your own flesh". She said it was like from another story or movie or something.

Next came a drug-pusher for Sloth. He was found lying in his own bed immobile for almost a year. And he's still alive by the time the police barged in his door.

A beautiful ramp model for Pride. The victim's nose was cut off and her face was disfigured. The victim was found with a cellular phone on one hand and a bottle of pain killers on the other. She was given a choice of calling for help and letting the world know that her beautiful face was no more OR she'll just take it as it is, endure the pain with the help of pain killers. Talk about Vanity.

Then, a prostitute for Lust. The prostitute was found dead after being fucked by a man who was forced to wear a strap-on dildo but, instead of the dildo, a huge knife was attached. One can just imagine the pain that the girl underwent before dying.

Afterwards, the guy went straight to the police precinct and surrendered.

But only after killing Brad Pitt's wife that was played by Gwyneth Paltrow. You know why? Because the serial killer envied everything that Brad Pitt has: his wife, his house, his life. Now, that's Envy.

Where's Anger? Brad Pitt killed the serial killer for killing his wife and kid.

After watching this movie, I have to admit that my favorite deadly sin is now Lust. Who wouldn't? Hehehe! I mean, who in his right mind wouldn't mind a good lay, huh? It's healthy and good for the heart. It's a cardiovascular exercise. It helps produce endorphins. It helps strengthen a relationship.

What's your favorite deadly sin? Why?
