Reflections on the Film's Melancholy

The discussion highlights the bleak atmosphere of the film 'Seven,' set in a rainy city where depravity and murder pervade the story. The speakers emphasize how the film, reflecting on its themes, resonates with viewers during the darker winter months, a time often associated with feelings of depression. This mood is contrasted with a personal anecdote about an unfortunate physical mishap that serves to illustrate real-life discomfort and vulnerability, drawing a parallel to the film's grim narrative. They suggest that even in discussing a film that evokes strong emotions, it can still provide a form of catharsis for its audience.
