"Macho porn"? Well.... There's lots of macho porn, but this is intelligent macho porn, with ideas. I should thinjk the exploration of two sides of a personality would interest you, as a psychologist. I'm surprised at your sayiing you were "smitten" with "Se7ven," as if that were a love affair. I found it repulsive in the estreme, though its kind of psychological ultra-violence has become an influence. Michel Gondry and others came out of video, I don't think it's useful to condemn people for such beginnings, any more than it would be worthwhile to condemn filmmakers or actors for coming out of TV..

Just a couple of comments to show I'm listening.
