Description

Seven - A Classic Crime Thriller Reflecting 80s Social Issues: Despite initial criticism, David Finchers Seven is now hailed as a classic. The film, released in 1995, mirrored the social problems of the 80s, including high crime rates, drug epidemics, and AIDS. Screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walkers personal experiences in New York City, coupled with the broken windows theory of criminology, shaped the films grim atmosphere.
