For those that aren’t aware, a fully detailed prop was created for Gwenyth Paltrow’s severed head, and it was meant to be shown on screen in the box. But during the last few days of production, David Fincher decided to have it so that Gwenyths head isn’t shown on screen, but instead the audience is forced to imagine what horrible sight Detective Somerset had to lay his eyes upon, which, quite frankly, is even more terrifying

@vitamindealer79154 жыл бұрын
Susan Kay agreed the dialogue is fantastic and spot on. It’s pretty timeless too. Here is something interesting about the ending - all 3 win and lose. John Doe and Mills both sin and pay the price (although John Doe is already facing life in prison - this final sin guarantees death instead of prison or mental hospital). Somerset turns out to be right all along - he was trying to prepare Mills to realize the world isn’t black and white - and it happens in the absolute worst way imaginable (a suspect has surrendered himself, unarmed, in custody - can you kill him if he murdered your loved one? John Doe turned the law on its head with this one and I’m still honestly debating if Mills goes to jail as a result) - basically a negative self fulfilling prophecy. Again one of the best dark movies ever made.

He holds the reigns the entire film, orchastrating every move and every detail. It all goes exactly to his plan.

Roger Kincaid back when I was in university, I would let my professor read a lot of my screenplays, the ones that I thought were my best, he usually thought was my best too, but a lot of the endings I had were bleak because a lot of my favourite films have bleak endings (e.g. oldboy, seven, No Country for Old Men). He said that the two scripts I wrote with those endings were my best but would be very hard to sell or get made especially as a first time writer because most studios want to do “safe” films, even more so when it’s with a first timer.
@Slesaint173 жыл бұрын
@@Slesaint17 And so the studios and producers would have been objectively wrong. Because if you "played it safe" and did not include this scene - did not tie a bow to John Doe's crimes and complete the 7 - then this movie would be unremarkable, no-one would remember it, it wouldn't have more than 8 million views on KZhead (at time of writing) and so on and so forth. It would have done worse at the box office and with VHS / DVD sales, and they would have objectively earnt less money for their risk aversion. They might think playing it safe earns them more money, but this is consistently not true in the history of all media. Great art earns the biggest money. The actors understood this. The "money men" unfortunately never do.

Something interesting I noticed myself is that he’s holding a Colt M1911 pistol which holds a mag capacity of SE7EN bullets. In the final scene where Mills unloads on Doe, he fires his gun six times, each bullet for the six murders accounted. He doesn’t use the last bullet because it’s meant for himself as he’s the last sinner alive.

Brilliant performances by Pitt, Freeman, and Spacey. The timing and music. The direction. The flash of Paltrow's face. Despite the chilling overtones, in one five minute video, cinematic perfection.

The image of Tracy right before Mills pulls the trigger and kills Doe is so underrated in this scene. In a scene full of memorable moments, I feel that one moment gets so overlooked by everything else in this fantastic scene

Exactly. Incredibly well timed and artistically effective. It says everything that needs to be said in an instant. It was a visual representation of the emergence of the emotion that was taking place in Mills heart in that moment. He was crushed that she was dead, and all it took was one split second of his remembrance of the purity of his love for her for him to make up his mind. She was his light. And John Doe simply had to pay for destroying his light. I tear up at that part every time. Any man who ever loved and taken care of a woman understands the power of this scene.

Good point bro
Ryu this is literally the stupidest fucking comment I’ve ever seen
It's great that Brad Pitt fought for this ending. Apparently the studio execs wanted to change it because it was too dark.
Actually, Brad wanted to kill Spacey but Morgan was originally slated to do it. I worked on this film. I don't remember the Al Pacino part, but it's possible.
@Michael Albaladejo You're joking , right??? He's good in action movies , but this kind of stuff. Nope.
Schwarzenegger was offered the roll before Pitt. “She begged for life lieutenant.” Arnold replies, “Fuck You Asshole”
Also Morgan Freeman, They both said they would quit if the ending is changed
I thought the original ending was actually somwhere between Mills shooting John Doe and the end of this clip. The scene of him in the car getting taken away and Somerset quoting Hemingway was added on.
Brad nailed the hell outta that role. Seeing a man’s soul being torn apart as he’s crying then tries to hold it together for a couple seconds then break down again anger and sadness each taking a stab at him

Who sold the scene was Morgan Freeman. Looking shocked in the box, then at them, then the box, then at them. Then exclaiming, "California stay away from here. Whatever you hear. John Doe has the upper hand". Suspense on the edge of your seat at it's finest, when you saw it for the first time

For those that aren’t aware, a fully detailed prop was created for Gwenyth Paltrow’s severed head, and it was meant to be shown on screen in the box. But during the last few days of production, David Fincher decided to have it so that Gwenyths head isn’t shown on screen, but instead the audience is forced to imagine what horrible sight Detective Somerset had to lay his eyes upon, which, quite frankly, is even more terrifying
I almost want to see it, but at the same time I don't...

でッ I bet you're that little kid that says that marvel films are underrated.
It’s so scary because in most of the film he kills people we don’t know. Tracy being the final victim, someone we have seen and the wife of the main character, it’s like he jumps off the screen and kills the audience. One of the best movies ever made.
Susan Kay agreed the dialogue is fantastic and spot on. It’s pretty timeless too. Here is something interesting about the ending - all 3 win and lose. John Doe and Mills both sin and pay the price (although John Doe is already facing life in prison - this final sin guarantees death instead of prison or mental hospital). Somerset turns out to be right all along - he was trying to prepare Mills to realize the world isn’t black and white - and it happens in the absolute worst way imaginable (a suspect has surrendered himself, unarmed, in custody - can you kill him if he murdered your loved one? John Doe turned the law on its head with this one and I’m still honestly debating if Mills goes to jail as a result) - basically a negative self fulfilling prophecy. Again one of the best dark movies ever made.
I love Gwyneth Paltrow's acting in this scene. She's very talented.
I know, right? She just kinda, sort of 'stood' there. I dunno how that worked out but she was superb.

This ending is probably one of the strongest endings in recent film history. The shaky camera to the yellow color palette makes this scene feel even more visceral.
And that quick flash of his wife’s innocent face…fucking brilliant. This film is as close to perfection as you can get.
That color tone really makes the scene just perfect…: it’s so bleak yet not.
Recent film history? Bruh this shit is 30 years old lmao.
This film is old man came out in 1995
It paved the way for shows like True Detective.
"John Doe has the upper hand." He always has. That's one of the many things I love about this film. The detectives do brilliant case work, they unravel bits of the mystery, but they never come close to getting ahead of John. The closest they get is the chase scene and Doe still out manuevers them. He holds the reigns the entire film, orchastrating every move and every detail. It all goes exactly to his plan.
Definitely
True. This is also highlighted by a nice little detail: there were six shots fired by a cop in the end. Didn't quite get to seven, that is, to perfection.
@@AnnoNihilusif you watch it again pitt said he shot a man once before,so if you count that in total he has shot 7 In his life as a cop

Brad agreed to do this film on the condition that he'll shoot the killer at the end, otherwise he won't do this film. Brad didn't want his character to be heroic. He wanted his character to make mistakes and wanted to break the larger than life image.
This was the original ending written in the screenplay, but the studios kept wanting to change it (because studios are pussies) but Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman and David Fincher all said they wouldn’t do the film if it ended some of the (stupid) ways the studio wanted it to.
@@Slesaint17 - They all knew better than the producers.
Roger Kincaid studios and producers usually want to play it “safe” because they just want to do whatever will earn them more money out of the project. Whereas (good) directors and actors usually want the film to be as unique as possible and want to keep the story’s integrity.
Roger Kincaid back when I was in university, I would let my professor read a lot of my screenplays, the ones that I thought were my best, he usually thought was my best too, but a lot of the endings I had were bleak because a lot of my favourite films have bleak endings (e.g. oldboy, seven, No Country for Old Men). He said that the two scripts I wrote with those endings were my best but would be very hard to sell or get made especially as a first time writer because most studios want to do “safe” films, even more so when it’s with a first timer.
@@Slesaint17 And so the studios and producers would have been objectively wrong. Because if you "played it safe" and did not include this scene - did not tie a bow to John Doe's crimes and complete the 7 - then this movie would be unremarkable, no-one would remember it, it wouldn't have more than 8 million views on KZhead (at time of writing) and so on and so forth. It would have done worse at the box office and with VHS / DVD sales, and they would have objectively earnt less money for their risk aversion. They might think playing it safe earns them more money, but this is consistently not true in the history of all media. Great art earns the biggest money. The actors understood this. The "money men" unfortunately never do.
The way he delivers those lines at 2:34 "become vengeance", and 2:36 "become wrath"... Maaaan what a way to say 'em!!!! Mr Spacey was a genius.
Brad Pitt: I'm Vengeance🥷🦇

This movie is above else one of my favorites, mainly because of this scene. I’m always learning new things about it specifically from the comment section. Something interesting I noticed myself is that he’s holding a Colt M1911 pistol which holds a mag capacity of SE7EN bullets. In the final scene where Mills unloads on Doe, he fires his gun six times, each bullet for the six murders accounted. He doesn’t use the last bullet because it’s meant for himself as he’s the last sinner alive.

This is still the most shell shocked ending to a movie I've ever seen. It also explains where all the blood on John Doe came from when he walked into the police station.
And the unidentified victim as well
Great movie and even better acting and themes. My only gripe is I saw the ending from a mile away but brad's acting definitely carried it all the way to the masterfully crafted credits that unconventionally start from appearance, thoroughly described in a manner that makes us feel like we're reading part of John's manifest while scrolling in from the bottom rather than the top.
@@ZumaB seeing the ending shows you're intelligence , doesn't make the movie any less good.
@@ZumaB The ending as you knew he would kill him? Or the entire ending before it was revealed? Because I don’t know what I was expecting but it certainly wasn’t that
@@ZumaB maybe I’m dumb, but I didn’t predict the ending at all. The turn of events completely took me by surprise. Particularly what was obvious to you about it?
“John Doe has the upper hand” one of the most chilling lines
Morgan Freeman slaps Kathy Baker kzhead.info/sun/o6-uqtuaaoeheZ8/bejne.html
At the cinemas with 13 years this scene was Intense and so heart breaking. One of my favorite movies of all time.
This scene just gives me an uneasy feeling no matter how many times I watch it. Three phenomenal actors.
'' What's in the fucking box? '' Divorce Papers Brad... Divorce papers. ''
Oh my god
lolol =))))
"It seems that envy is my sin"
jeff peake no really?
Neil Tomlinson and a year later David got fired and two years probation
everyone talking about brad pitt but I think Morgan Freeman's reaction to opening it is the most believable reaction. that almost coughing gasp and thousand-yard stare as his mind processes the situation. dude's been around awhile, I wouldnt be surprised if he's witnessed this kinda reaction in person
It really was a damn good reaction
imagine after shooting john doe, he went to look what's in the box to confirm and it's just a dildo
Morgan Freeman is always a great actor.
“gah!”
It's perfect. The way he almost whimpers, contrasted with how nonchalant he is at the DV murder scene at the start of the movie. A veteran homicide detective opening a mysterious box and whimpering like a child being surprised by a spider just sets the most sinister tone for the entirety of the scene.
3 great actors in one scene. this movie is so damn awesome. one of my fav´s
Brads acting in this scene has earned him so much respect from me.
Misfortune Follows watch him in some other films like fight club... there are a lot of brad Pitt scenes that are almost as good as this one.
@@tf4304 there are more movies than fight club which actually are underrated. Everybody has seen fight club and knows about. There are so many good performances of him
Rehan Verma I’m just saying that’s a favorite. Once upon a time is good too. As well as the curious case. Money ball. Hell even Snatch
leaving the theater still disturbed after seeing this he was officially in my top 5 fave actors. Freeman and Spacey were already titans.
I used to consider him just another man-toy that women (and men) love to gawk at, but he’s obviously much more talented than just a pretty face.
That "oh, he didn't know" line gave me chills. Legendary.
sometimes i hate how we cant ever experience anything for the first time again.
At 3:17 you can see true sadness in Pitt’s eyes :(
Excellent writing
At that moment Somerset knew it was over too
If you re-watch the library scene when Freeman is doing research on Paradise Lost etc. there's a very quick flash of a drawing showing a person holding up a severed head. Brilliant foreshadowing
when Doe realizes Mills didnt even know his wife was pregnant, he just melts with joy because he couldnt imagine a more perfect cherry on top
"Somebody call somebody". Great call... I'm sure somebody will get right on it.
Luke Jackson That line is hilarious.
Luke Jackson jajajajjajja!!!!! I did'nt think about it, because Freeman was the one who's talking XDDDDDD and he his always with the right words.
This is somebody here, what do you need me to do?
Luke Jackson lmfao that's funny
huffpuff1337 something
I don't want to know what's inside.
HAHAHAHAHAHHHA
Man.
yo I love your videos dude
What LMAO THIS COMMENT IS VERY RECENT
Holy shit ahaha
The score here is incredible, but especially right after Doe says “He didn’t know.” The way that music hits right there and we cut to Sommerset, it’s just so damn compelling. Such a fantastic film.
It makes you go 😮 oh damn right in that moment
I can never unfeel the feels of watching this scene for the first time.. 😖 best
Brad Pitt should’ve won an academy award just for this scene alone. What a powerful moment.
TheChubbyd07 I mean idk the way he said “OH GOD” sounded straight out of a parody film
Carl Wheezer probably because this set the precedent for oh gods. Everytime someone shouts that it may as well be a parody of this performance
Bean true lol
It's sad he won for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Smh
Babu Gavhane I mean he deserved it this year too so not really sad. Lol
Nothing can surpass the last 40 minutes of this movie. Best ending in movie history in my opinion.
this and The Sixth Sense, and I think they were both released within a few years of each other....
I would argue the ending of Prisoners...but yeah, this is a great ending too no doubt.
shutter island twist is up there too. I wasnt able to guess that one whereas I got very close with Seven - still absolutely brilliant tho
The entire film Seven is a masterpiece.
people comparing this to prisoners, shutter island, the sixth sense... and still calling them the 'best' movies endings ever? yall need to stop watching only what hollywood tells you
The "he just told you" always- will ALWAYS- send shivers down my spine. I felt it that was a reality-slap in the face for Mills
3:21 thats some genuine facial expression for momentarily flash back that really cuts deep.
The music builds perfectly in that moment.
"What's in the box?!" "Goop products." "Nooo!"
“You... you made the Goop company a suspect with the whole sex case”
*Goop producer.
Jasmine and lotus flower infused foot balm, detective.
Oh god!
LMAO dude!😂
‘Oh, he didn’t know!’ Starting at 3:08 is probably the single most evil line in movie history. The way he pretends like he’s sorry he broke the news to Mills, while turning to Sommerset as if to commiserate, like they’re all friends, is just blood-curdling. It’s truly terrifying.
It’s right up there with Elmo’s “that’s the best part” from The Shawshank redemption
@@monkey3964 I got the notification, saw “Elmo,” and thought you were going to write, “That tickles,” or something as a joke. Which would indeed have been funny. But yes, Elmo Blatch’s line about how the best part of his double murder was that the innocent man he ALREADY victimized by murdering his wife was found guilty of 2 crimes he didn’t commit and sentenced to life in prison is evil as can be. And he says it while laughing like anyone listening would get an equally huge kick out of it.
This scene was so palpable, that I could get a taste of what it was like to be Mills in that scene. Full of anger confusion and agony. A true testament to the abilities of these three amazing actors
@@swisscheeseplease97 The part that bugged me the most about that last scene and still does to this day is...Why in all that is Holy, would Brad Pitt's character shoot John in the head first giving him a quick painless death? All the people he tortured and killed, including Brad's own wife, then all the mocking and goading, surely you would put a bullet in each knee, then his balls, then his gut, maybe each hand, wait a minute or 2 and THEN finish him off with a shot to the head? The result would have still been the same but at least he would have that sweet satisfaction that he made Doe suffer before he died. No human in that situation would let John Doe off the hook so easily...
The way his face kind of comes to life, his eyes widen and delivers that line. Gives me chills every time I’ve seen it
Facilitated by the writer and director in equal measure, all three actors hit the apex in the scene. Their timings was flawless!
I love the way he says “what’s going on over there” you can hear that his mind is moving in a million different directions.
The writer was really thinking outside the box.
Savage. Funny, but savage. The way humor should be.
Aleksander Pagels nice
What’s outsideee de baaaaax
good cuz i doubt there was much thinking going on inside the box
Nikki14cr Actually inside the bax there are lot of thoughts and idea since there is a brain lmao lol
This scene is bone chilling... The look of terror in Brad Pitt’s face, and the suspense in this whole scene was far ahead of its time. Bless the director for this masterpiece of a movie.
may be we r backwards..
Yeah I agree, i feel like in this exact moment, it would be less sadness and more sheer unadulterated mind fuckery which brad Pitt depicted well. He didn’t really know she was dead for sure, and even if he did I’m sure it would feel like a terrible nightmare in the moment anyways. Of course after though is when you start crying, when the depression kicks in, but not right away.
Yep
Yep, David Fincher. He also directed Fight Club
Ahead of its time? No.
"He didn't know." Sick little smile. I would have handed Brad pit that poket knife I used to open the box. We'd see how long that smile would last.
That woukd just make him happy, he just wins harder, gets what he wants, wrath
I didn't say kill. They had belts and laces for tourniquet. Make his life a living hell so he's forced to bite off his own tongue to end it. He wouldn't be envy, he'd be regret.
@@DeHymenator the more anger the better, clearly he likes torture and pain in his plans, its just playing his game
Absolutely stunning, heartbreaking, telling, haunting scene.
Spacey's line 'he didn't know' is just so sinister! Love this movie!
but whats really in the box

It's only February but thats the best comment of the year
No, just some string, but it has a secret compartment
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I will never ever forget sneaking into theatre with 2 friends of mine I can remember we were all 3 of us just shocked.... This whole movie was just omg
Brilliant performances by Pitt, Freeman, and Spacey. The timing and music. The direction. The flash of Paltrow's face. Despite the chilling overtones, in one five minute video, cinematic perfection.
The image of Tracy right before Mills pulls the trigger and kills Doe is so underrated in this scene. In a scene full of memorable moments, I feel that one moment gets so overlooked by everything else in this fantastic scene
when it flashes its exactly 7 minutes of runtime left
Yes the editing of that is fantastic 😍
that hits hard, having a flashback of your beautiful wife after finding out this guy put her head in a box while she was pregnant :(
Editing-wise, do you think that was exactly a single frame? ie 1/24th of a second?
Exactly. Incredibly well timed and artistically effective. It says everything that needs to be said in an instant. It was a visual representation of the emergence of the emotion that was taking place in Mills heart in that moment. He was crushed that she was dead, and all it took was one split second of his remembrance of the purity of his love for her for him to make up his mind. She was his light. And John Doe simply had to pay for destroying his light. I tear up at that part every time. Any man who ever loved and taken care of a woman understands the power of this scene.
3:44 When i see my exam results
lmao
👏
LOL
Yeah I'm like "Oh God I knew B was the right answer why the fuck I chose A? oh God"
You killed me lmao . My reaction would rather be at 00:30 .
