The opening scene of Se7en opens with a detective getting ready, going through his morning routine. As he leaves, he is at a crime scene of someone's murder. Going outside, followed by the body, he meets up with a new detective. Soon they investigate more murders, each relating to the seven deadly sins, this is how it ties in with the title. Whilst the detectives work together, it is clear they aren't the best of friends. Towards the end, the murderer is then in turn killed by one of the detectives, after killing his wife and giving him a box with her head in, he taunts the detective by claiming she was pregnant and so wrath over takes the detective and therefore there has been a murder relating to each deadly sin. Envy was the sin used to kill the wife as the murderer was jealous of his life. It's very complicated and confusing. However, the film ends with the quote: The world is a fine place and worth fighting for. I agree with the second part. The significance of this is that the world is not a fine place as people enjoy the seven deadly sins, and aren't punished for them, despite 7 people being punished with the ultimate price - death or murder of a loved one.
