Versioni alternative: - USA laserdisc edition adds a few scenes deleted from theatrical release as a bonus at the end of the programme, including: a prologue where Somerset (Morgan Freeman) is going to buy a countryhouse. He uses his switchblade (seen many times in the final cut, but not explained) to cut out a small piece of wallpaper. There is an extended scene at the Mills' when David (Brad Pitt) is playing with his dogs, and Somerset talks to Tracy. He tells her about the house and shows her the wallpaper. She tells him that it wouldn't be such a good idea to show it to David, saying "He wouldn't understand.". These two scenes establish Somerset's characters better, and the second one helps the viewer understand why the wife chooses Sommerset to talk to when she gets pregnant. She knows that Somerset is much more sensible than her husband, and will understand her. The second one however was probably dumped earlier since it is included among the dailies and outtakes and the first one appears as an deleted scene. - In the US version, Tracy Mills ('Gwyneth Paltrow' (qv)) calls her husband at the office and asks to speak to Detective Somerset ('Morgan Freeman' (qv)). We see them talking on the phone but only hear what Detective Mills ('Brad Pitt' (qv)) and Somerset say. When Somerset hangs up, he explains to Mills that his wife has invited him over for dinner. In the Italian version Tracy's dialogue has been dubbed over the soundtrack, letting the audience hear her talking on the phone and making the invitation, thus rendering Somerset's later explaination somewhat redundant. - A few hundred of the 2,500 first-run prints released theatrically were created using a silver retention process called CCE. With silver retention the silver leached out during conventional film processing is rebonded to the print, thus greatly increasing luminosity in the light portions of the image and the density of the dark tones. - The writer, Andrew Kevin Walker, completed two separate drafts of the ending. The first is the one that we see, and the second is one where John Doe is killed by Somerset instead of Mills. This alternate ending sequence was storyboarded and is included in the published script, but never filmed. - The version shown on BBC TV in the UK was heavily cut. All f-words were removed, as were some of the more grisly images in the various murder scenes. Most notable cuts were to the autopsy of the 'gluttony' victim (shots of the victims full body as well as the removed stomach are missing) and the interrogation after the 'lust' murder (we no longer see the picture of the implement used in the murder). - A few inconsistencies appear on the Platinum Series DVD released by New Line on 12/19/2000. Firstly, Mills has a line just as Somerset runs up to him in the climactic scene. The line is supposed to be "What the f***'s he talking about?" Clearly audible on the Criterion laserdisc, this line is oddly nearly obscured on the new DVD. Secondly, the song used for the opening credit sequence is actually a remix of a remix of Closer by Nine Inch Nails. The remix's title is Closer (Precursor). The Criterion laserdisc's end credits had this accurately represented as Closer (Precursor) (Remix). The new DVD simply credits the song as Closer by Nine Inch Nails. Note: The Criterion laserdisc release also moved a few seconds of Howard Shore's score for its last side break so as to keep the entire music cue intact. The cue plays as originally shot on the new DVD.
Genere: Crime Drama Mystery Thriller
Lingue: English
Plot: A film about two homicide detectives' desperate hunt for a serial killer who justifies his crimes as absolution for the world's ignorance of the Seven Deadly Sins. Set in New York, the movie takes us from the tortured remains of one victim to the next as the sociopathic "John Doe" sermonizes to Detectives Sommerset and Mills -- one sin at a time. The sin of Gluttony comes first and the murderer's terrible capacity is graphically demonstrated in the dark and subdued tones characteristic of film noir. The seasoned and cultured Sommerset researches the Seven Deadly Sins in an effort to understand the killer's modus operandi while green Detective Mills scoffs at his efforts to get inside the mind of a killer... This thriller portrays the exploits of a deranged serial-killer. His twisted agenda involves choosing seven victims who represent egregious examples of transgressions of each of the Seven Deadly Sins. He then views himself as akin to the Sword of God, handing out horrific punishment to these sinners. Two cops, an experienced veteran of the streets who is about to retire and the ambitious young homocide detective hired to replace him, team up to capture the perpetrator of these gruesome killings. Unfortunately, they too become ensnared in his diabolical plan....
