In the movie se7en, a person died for each of the seven deadly sins. But where the plot hole lies is that the wife didn't commit any of the seven deadly sins, and she died. Also brad pitt at the end commits the sin, wrath, but he doesn't die for it.

Plot hole or am I just confused?

That movie almost made me sick to my stomach at the end. I felt an emotional understanding with Brad Pitt's character.

Confused. I think it was about committing the 7 deadly sins, and not killing each person for them

Nah he said people should thank him for his work, since he's doing vigilante justice for god. He justified his muders. But killing the wife would have no rationale with doing good, and would basically negate the purpose of his murders.

Pitt committed wrath or anger when he killed Spacey, at the end wasn't he arrested for it, the story ends there so you can assume he gets teh chair and dies for it. :)

You get the death penalty for a crime of passion like that? Were they in New York? I don't remember.

So what about his wife?

I wonder if Paltrow's wife is the death for Wrath.

So did I until just a little while ago. That's what sent Pitt over the edge.

And Paltrow died for nothing.
