The '7 Deadly Sins You So Fkin Precious When You Smile' meme features Detective David Mills, played by Brad Pitt, and Detective William Somerset, played by Morgan Freeman, from the 1995 psychological thriller Se7en. This specific trend gained massive popularity around 2018 when the song 'Mine' by Bazzi became a viral sensation on platforms like TikTok and Vine. Creators take the gritty, dark atmosphere of the David Fincher film and subvert it by applying heart-eye filters and the upbeat, romantic audio. This juxtaposition between the film's gruesome 'seven deadly sins' investigation and the 'wholesome' aesthetic of the meme creates a humorous irony. It is commonly used as a 'thirst trap' for Brad Pitt's character or to represent situations where someone is unexpectedly charming in a stressful environment. Example captions include: 'Me ignoring the trauma of this movie because Brad Pitt is on screen,' 'When he's a detective but also a cutie,' and 'That one friend who stays positive during the apocalypse.'
