Se7en

I hope you guys have seen the movie since it is one of the greatest movies in history. If you haven't, then the movie Se7en is about two detectives, Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, who are on the hunt for a serial killer who justifies his crimes as absolution through God for the world's ignorance of the Seven Deadly Sins. Killing people based on their sins, the character John Doe, played by Kevin Spacey, murders people one at a time and signifies how this particular person ignores a particular sin to a great extent.

The issue of justice portrayed in the movie is that Kevin Spacey believes he is doing God's work and sending a message to the world. He kills a man who was heavily obese (gluttony) as well as cut off a model's nose for thinking too highly of her self image (pride.) The ending has some sort of twist to it, so I won't ruin it for anyone. On the other side, Pitt and Freeman feel that it is not just to kill these people and try to put a stop to it. Killing someone by the Sword Of God is not a justification for murder although Spacey believes it to be so. Emotions get in the way for Pitt's renegade character as the older, more calm cop, Freeman, tries to keep order throughout the movie. I found one way to look at this is that in Islamic tradition, they follow the word of Mohammed and stick with that tradition. Spacey takes this concept to a whole new level in this movie by taking matters into his own hands rather than through the justice system. It is more of a vigilante from the criminal side.
