Strange @ 8:35 PM
A Freak of nature,
Stuck in reality.
I don't fit the picture.
Under the radar,
Out of the system,
Caught in the spotlight,
that’s my existence,
And all I feel is strange.
Look around you, look beside you and now look at yourself. Are we really that great of a race? Are we full of pureness and good intentions or, is it all a facade? We’re all just puppets on strings, being pulled by one another, again and again, until we finally break. You can try all you want to change but we live in times of sin, and all we can do is fight. Fight for the little good left in you and me because evidently I’m starting to see less. The sins we witness and the sins we commit never go un-punished. They also say what goes around comes around, and trust me, people get what they deserve.
Se7en, a movie directed by David Fincher, starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman was on the core of expressing these sins. This was a bone chilling thriller that intensified the seven deadly sins of mankind and manifested them in a way that was almost haunting. The story line follows the lives of two detectives on the brink of a new and twisted case. Soon they begin to connect one case after another, and begin to realize that this isn’t just an ordinary killer. They later find themselves in a series of vicious murders leading to the main plot, which is punishing those who have committed each of the seven deadly sins.
I can honestly say that this was the most messed up movie I’ve ever seen, and I loved every minute of it. The killer had claimed to have been sent by a higher power but everyone thought he was just a nut case. But as weird as this sounds, he was a genius in a way. I’m not saying that what he was doing was right, but all the planning and thought that he put into his plan was just jaw dropping. He was obviously well educated and patient seeing as he was doing this over a year. We’ll never really know why he did something like that in the first place, because we just go about our busy lives without trying to understand. We just think of these people as strange.
