Detective David Mills and Detective Lt. William Somerset



The characters of Detective Mills and Detective Somerset can be seen as a representation of David Finchers stylistic yet bleak approach towards film. This is used throughout the juxtaposition of their idolised and media stylised job, whilst still depicting issues they acquire such as loneliness and being the product of over exposure to scarring situations throughout their job. This causes them to be an example of David Finchers style, showing the dark issues behind someone as highly represented as a detective. This is shown through the narrative of Detective Somerset confiding in Detective Mills in the bar about wanting to quit his job. Here we are able to see the effects of their job, therefore seeing the underlying issues within the narrative of Se7en and proving that it is much more than just a conventional crime film.
