I thought the box also had the fetus, but it's moot.

And seriously... what else could have been in the box?

Her boobies?

if i remember morgan freeman also looks in the box is that correct? If so then if it was boobies I dont think he would have been so disgusted

edit:
also, cause then brad pitts reaction to it would have been

OH BOOBIES!!!!

then the realization...****** thats my wifes boobies

If I remember right, Pitts character never looks in the box.

 

[Manuwell]

Wasn't it a alternator-sized box ?

No, the box just had her head. And if the mother is dead, the child is therefore dead as well.

 

[Imagination]

I thought it was her head and the head of the baby too.... there was a reference to both by Kevin character

 

[Sqube]

I just put Se7en onto my computer and went to the end, because I didn't that what was in the box was really open to interpretation.

"It's disturbing how easily a member of the press can purchase information from the men in your precinct... I visited your home this morning, after you'd left. I tried to play husband. I tried to taste the life of a simple man.

It didn't work out.

So, I took a souvenir. Her pretty head.

Umm... seeing as he explicitly said that the wife's head was in the box, I think it's fair to say that the wife's head is in the box.

As i watched the movie, i wondered if it may have just been the unborn baby. But i took it as being her head at the end.

good movie!!

On a side note, I was almost waiting for Gwynth to grab Morgan Freeman's dong in that movie. I know she was rather lonely and didn't have friends in town, but man she sure looked at him as though she wanted to ride him like Sea Biscuit.

"Ride him like Sea Biscuit"

Wasn't it rock salt?

Well, it's true. Maybe it was the pregnancy hormones or maybe Mills wasn't giving her preggo sex, but damn.

 

[daveymark]

She'll never be the head of a major corporation

what is the rock salt in reference to?

 

[ElFenix]

i remember seeing that movie in the theatres and coming out going, 'goddamn, that was pretty fscked up right there'

Exactly! It was the alternator from a 1969 Pontiac Catalina.

Who wouldn't be disgusted at that?

[Sqube]

Rock salt...?

My pop culture kung-fu is weak, so I don't get this reference at all.

 

[yhelothar]

Meh.. it was a pretty good movie.. but the twist ending tried too hard that it wasn't consisitent with the killer's motive.
John Doe is supposed to being doing God's work, as in punishing those who commit the 7 deadly sins. This is true throughout the entire story up until the twist ending. Each person died for their sins. But where it starts to get contradicting is where paltrow dies, when she is innocent. She died for john doe's sin of jealousy. Where pitt, who commited wrath, did not die. That killed it for me.

I haven't seen the film in a while, but most, if not all, of the victims were innocent.

innocent? is that supposed to be funny? an obese man... a disgusting man who could barely stand up; a man who if you saw him on the street, you'd point him out to your friends so that they could join you in mocking him; a man, who if you saw him while you were eating, you wouldn't be able to finish your meal. after him, i picked the lawyer and i know you both must have been secretly thanking me for that one. this is a man who dedicated his life to making money by lying with every breath that he could muster to keeping murderers and rapists on the streets! a woman... so ugly on the inside she couldn't bear to go on living if she couldn't be beautiful on the outside. a drug dealer, a drug dealing pederast, actually! and let's not forget the disease-spreading whore! only in a world this sh*tty could you even try to say these were innocent people and keep a straight face. but that's the point. we see a deadly sin on every street corner, in every home, and we tolerate it. we tolerate it because it's common, it's trivial. we tolerate it morning, noon, and night.

Surprisingly, I watched the movie yesterday. Yes, it's her head in the box.

A better question is what were the two sins that were left at the end, and did they represent the deaths of the wife and the killer?

envy and wrath I think.

Depends on your meaning of die. I'd say he was pretty dead after losing his wife, kid and career. Not to mention he's probably going to hell and jail for killing Doe.

 

[SampSon]

I was really happy with that movie. Rarely do good movies end with everyone dieing.
