Since I am a big movie fan and enjoy the occasional musical, I have caught bits of Seven all my life. It never did anything for me. When I heard Robert Osborne speaking so highly of it, I finally made myself sit through most of the whole thing. ?? Normally I don't have feminist reactions to movies, but I actually found the "goodnatured" kidnapping scenes highly offensive. They made abducting women look like fun, and the abducted women came off looking like Kewpie doll dopes, Barbie airheads who deserved to be maltreated. Even though the dancing and singing and choreography was wonderful, I can't remember when I've been so turned off by a movie.
