Se7en - Character representations

Hello readers, welcome back to Mojidoji Blog this time I will be continuing from last post about location and setting of Se7en. However it is not the same, instead today I will be talking about the characteristic of Mills, Somerset and John Doe by analysing the following clips.

MILLS

·      Aggressive – kick down the door of his suspect, he shouts, swears

·      Violent – physically pushes photographer down the stairs

·      Impatient!

·      His crime is “wrath”

·      Confident! He believes in himself that he can fix the problems. “HERO” Change the way things are – make it different

SOMERSET

·      Keeps a grip on his emotional

·      Rational – “ people don’t care therefore you don’t care about people”

·      Patient

·      Neat / precise – he set up his clothes, pick fluff off jacket, cleans coffee jug, lays out wallet / badges / knife (very precisely)
