Seven Pounds (Will Smith) .. A Jist
Seven Pounds.. [ Will Smith ]..
This weekend i had a chance to download and watch seven pounds and i must tell that its one heck of a movie.. Will Smith's acting really rocks.. the first thing that made me wanna watch this movie is the reason that it was made by the same team who made "The Pursuit of Happiness" and that is really a humdinger !! What a movie .. and Will is really awesome portraying Chris Gradner a desperate man trying to cope up with all the failures shot at his face with a positive attitude .no body could have done the role as good as Smith did- the vulnerability , the realism , the tears and the smiles, all genuine artistry. Specially the scenes where he even has to sleep in public rest rooms and asylums and obviously the interview he gives at the stock brokers office dressed in shabby clothes with wall paint splattered on him. ( Just love the dialogue where he says "He must have had on some really nice pants" when asked what would he do if another person came in for an interview with out a shirt and paint smeared on ). I guess everybody has a Chris in himself some where deep down be it in any aspects. a fantastic movie really a MUST WATCH !!.. Definitely will change the outlook towards life 9 even a lil bit) well.. it did at least to me :)
Now coming back to our movie Seven pounds..
The movie depicts a fate of a man who has lost his lover in a car accident that takes place due his carelessness also killing 7 other people.. This makes him realise the loss of his life and then decide to change the lives of seven different people.
So a year after the crash, and having quit his job as an aeronautical engineer, TIM ( Will SMith) donates a lung to his brother who is an IRS official. Later he donates part of his liver to a child services worker and a kidney to a junior hockey coach, and bone marrow to a young boy. He then searches for more people to receive donations and then speaks to Ezra a blind call centre meat seller. This part is really movin, he first abuses this blind guy to check if he really deserves the donation, so the blind guy tolerates all these abuses and then simply cuts the line will smith realises that he is worthy and decides to donate his eyes to him. Finally he fakes as a IRS employee using his bro's credentials contacts Emily ( Rosario Dawson ) who has a heart weakness condition and is a part time greeting card maker. He helps her fix her machine , take care of her dog, and all other stuffs finally both end up falling in love with each other. He then realises that her condition is worsening and decides to donate his heart to her.
He fills the bathtub with ice water to preserve his vital organs, climbs in, and then commits suicide by pulling his extremely poisonous jellyfish into the water with him ( he had this fear since his childhood, when his dead used to take him to aquarium and tell him about the Box jelly fish) . All this time he has his trusty friend Dan as his executor to ensure that his organs are donated to the right people.
After all this Emily realises his sacrifice and weeps, she then goes to a shool function where the blind Guy is playin .. He is no more blind. Emily meets Ezra at a concert. They have a moment thinking / realising Tim’s selfless deeds and begin talking .. the movie ends..
Superb performance by Will and Rosario.. People who like TPH will definitely love this as well i guess.
Seeing this made me realise that we do have a lot to owe this world so we've gotta love our life.
Let me know what do you feel ppl..
