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.
