A Gr8 film!

Rating: Null/10 (21 December 2001)

Morbidly intriguing, disgustingly fascinating. I was deeply shaken by what I would call "my favourite film".
Forget Brad Pitt, I found Morgan Freeman's acting amazing. He is calm cool and collected throughout the whole film. A complete stoic.
Some good jazz tunes are part of the soundtrack and the film has style.
Watch carefully, the "lust" scene. I didn't understand what had specifically happened, the first time that I saw it.
I would like to compare the film with the psychological personality inventory called the Enneagram. "Ennea" is Armenian for 9ine and I guess gram means...chart? It is based on 9ine different personalities which, according to some sources corresponds to the se7en deadly sins + 2wo more.
1ne = wrath
2wo = pride
thr3e = deceit
4our = envy
fi5e = greed
6ix = fear
se7en = gluttony
ei8ht = lust
9ine = sloth
There is a theory about the enneagram (which I don't agree with) that states that a person will transform from 1ne personality to another in a particular order to become more psychologically healthy as a "whole" person. The order is this:
se7en: becomes fi5e
fi5e: becomes ei8ht
ei8ht: becomes 2wo
2wo: becomes 4our
4our: becomes 1ne who becomes se7en to complete the cycle
This is the same order that the "sins" are mentioned throughout the film. It's basically the same order as above.
se7en gluttony is mentioned first
fi5e greed is mentioned second
ei8ht lust is mentioned. 9ine sloth is mentioned, which is next door to ei8ht and breaks the cycle in half
2wo pride is mentioned
4our envy is mentioned
1ne wrath is mentioned.
In both cases The order is 7-5-8-2-4-1. I was obsessed by this fact in 1995 when the film came out because I was studying the enneagram at the time. Obviously, someone needed a life :)
