Last picture: At dusk, William stands alone. Corresponding to the last line, even if the world is never beautiful, it is worth fighting for. The darkness after dusk and the inevitable dawn must be permanently opposed. Just like this, William's figure in the dusk is like a guardian in the dark, so people can struggle in the dark with peace of mind. This is also the last essence of the seven deaths. Although gloom filled the whole movie, the light of hope was so warm at the last moment.

The seven deadly sins, originally written by the Greek theological monk Pang Yi, are eight kinds of evil deeds that damage one's spirituality, including gluttony, lust, greed, sadness, anger, laziness, jealousy and arrogance. In the late 6th century, Catholicism reduced the eight crimes to seven crimes, and according to the degree of violation of love, it attributed conceit to arrogance, sadness to laziness, and added jealousy, changing its order into: arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony and lust.

Dante arranged the seven deadly sins in The Divine Comedy according to the severity of evil deeds, in the following order:

1) lust-illegal sexual desire, such as adultery. (Dante's standard is "love each other too much", which will belittle God's love for people)

2) Overeating-wasting food, or overeating, drinking too much or hoarding too much food. (Dante's view is "excessive greed for pleasure")

3) Greedy-Greedy to have more than you need. (Or in Dante's view, greed is "excessively keen to seek superiority in money or power")

Laziness-laziness and wasting time. Laziness is declared a crime because others need to work harder to fill the gap, but they have not done what they should, which is harmful to themselves.

Equilibrium: One party pays more than the other. (From Dante's theological concept, laziness is "unable to love God wholeheartedly, unable to love God wholeheartedly"-specifically including laziness, cowardice, lack of imagination, contentment and irresponsibility)

5) Anger-inappropriate (evil) feelings caused by hatred, revenge or denial of others, and the desire to punish others beyond the power given by law also belong to anger.

6) jealousy-resentment caused by the fact that the other party has more assets than himself (the love for his own assets has deteriorated into hatred for the owners of other better things)

7) Arrogance-expecting others to look at you or liking you too much. I feel superior to others because I have it, and position myself as a better existence than God or others.

Evagrius Ponticus, an Egyptian monk at that time in the 4th century A.D., classified these crimes into eight "deadly passions", but in the Orthodox Church, these impulses were still described as "deadly passions", rather than evil hidden in their bodies. Those who voluntarily satisfy these "passions" or refuse to face them directly are defined as guilty in orthodox Christian moral theology.
