2021-04-26 16:07:09 +0000 UTCTo me, the meaning of the metronome is symbolic of Somerset's view on life. As he nears retirement, he's seen enough crazy stuff that, while he may not "understand" the world (I think he makes a statement along those lines), he's kind of used to the chaos and it doesn't really phase him any more. So the metronome being a very steady, constant noise that helps him fall asleep is symbolic of how he's a very steady, consistent person. He's a rock, unmoving, unphased by life while Mills is full of emotion and excitement and drive. But now he's on this case that upends his view of the world. There are still things that can surprise and shock him, so just as John Doe is breaking down the world Somerset thought he knew, he breaks the metronome, because it's steady rhythm is no longer helping him sleep.

2021-03-03 07:14:34 +0000 UTCOne of Brad Pitt's many movies that may be promising could be "Legends of the Fall" (also has Anthony Hopkins)... "Fight Club" is an interesting piece. As to the metronome: I saw it as a sign of Sommerset's emotional/spiritual state. Also note that after breaking the device, he started doing target practice by throwing a switchblade at a dartboard. One of the proposed endings for the script was actually Sommerset killing John Doe. However that would not have fit the story as well considering Mills was much more susceptable to John Doe's goading... something that Sommerset in his advanced state and generally calmer and more mature demeanor would have not fallen prey to. Both men were certain to be angered with the activities of John Doe and the metronome and target practice would indicate that. However, Sommerset was more disciplined in his actions overall (if not necessarily his thoughts) as well as having mental/emotional/spiritual tools to handle the stress of events.

All the same, I think I'll watch a few videos like this to cheer myself up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCm9Ng0bbEQ The world is worth fighting for.
