Major Themes – Seven Golden Men (1965)

Explore the central themes of Seven Golden Men (1965), from psychological, social, and emotional dimensions to philosophical messages. Understand what the film is really saying beneath the surface.

💰 Greed

Greed drives the heist from planning to execution, and it sows distrust among the crew. Personal gain competes with loyalty as Giorgia pursues the fortune behind Albert's back. The melting of the gold and the shifting loyalties reveal that wealth can corrode relationships as much as vaults.

🧭 Twists
