This is an attempt to do a "Movie Feels" for once, because I always do "Book Feels"and "Movie Reviews". This is probably going to stay unpublished in my thing, but here goes.
I watched this movie and I felt a savage sense of loss.
Ernest Hemingway ~ "The world is a fine place and worth fighting for." Somerset the protagonist agrees with the second.
Attrition ~ sorrow for sin that falls short of contrition.
SOMERSET: Attrition. When you regret your sins, but not because you love God.
MILLS: Like, because someone's holding a gun on you.
"In any major city, minding your own business is a perfected science. There's a public crime prevention course offered at the precinct house once a month. The first thing they teach is that you should never cry "help." Always scream "fire," because people don't want to get caught up in anything. But a fire... that's an evening's entertainment. They come running." Somerset.
"Wanting people to listen, you can't just tap them on the shoulder anymore. You have to hit them with a sledgehammer, and then you'll notice you've got their strict attention." John Doe
I just don't think I can continue living in a place that embraces and nurtures apathy as if it was a virtue.
Pederast > Pederasty ~ sexual activity involving a man and a boy.
Reference, Sodom and Gomorrah, https://www.gotquestions.org/Sodom-and-Gomorrah.html

"Why always like this? Only after the fact... this sudden realization, that if you shoot someone, or stick a knife in them, that person will cease to exist." Somerset.
Pathetic soul needs to read > Seven Terraces of Purgation, Dante, Canterbury Tales, Paradise Lost, Purgatory, The Life and Time of Charlie Manson, The Writings of Saint Thomas Aquinas.
"It's a fine line between insane and inspired." Somerset.
