David Fincher likes to treat his audience with respect. In 1995, his second motion picture Se7en was released to shock the world. At the time, certain critics argued that the movie had no substance and it was just a gruesome spectacle. However, upon deeper analysis, you will find that Se7en is actually a very subtle movie in a lot of ways. It is this subtlety that many filmmakers, especially directors today decide to renounce. They hit you over the head so much with whatever the movie is trying to say that it gets to the point of being even insulting to the audience as if we don’t have the capacity to understand what the movie is trying to tell us. Fincher, on the other hand, only shows us just what we need to see or hear to get the point across. In the opening credits, there are very clever cuts in sound and image whenever things start getting too disturbing. Another example is that for the majority of the movie we have no idea who the killer is. Kevin Spacey was even left out of all the marketing and opening credits.
