Let me just put this movie in one word... AMAZING... Will smith best work after The Pursuit of Happyness, Some times back i praise "Gulal's" characters for their amazing performances, same is with Seven Pounds every single character made you cry (Not only once but so many times). Below is plot of this amazing movie, but you got to see it to feel it

Quote:

Two years ago Tim Thomas (Will Smith) was in a car crash, which was caused by him using his mobile phone; seven people died: six strangers and his fiancée, Sarah Jenson (Robinne Lee).

A year after the crash, and having quit his job as an aeronautical engineer, Tim donates a lung lobe to his brother, Ben (Michael Ealy), an IRS employee. Six months later he donates part of his liver to a child services worker named Holly (Judyann Elder). After that he begins searching for more candidates to receive donations. He finds George (Bill Smitrovich), a junior hockey coach, and donates a kidney to him, and then donates bone marrow to a young boy named Nicholas (Quintin Kelley).

Two weeks before he dies he contacts Holly and asks if she knows anyone who deserves help. She suggests Connie Tepos (Elpidia Carrillo), who lives with an abusive boyfriend. Tim moves out of his house and into a local motel taking with him his pet box jellyfish. One night, after being beaten, Connie contacts Tim and he gives her the keys and deed to his beach house. She takes her two children and moves in to their new home.

Having stolen his brother's credentials, and making himself known by his brother's name Ben, he checks out candidates for his two final donations. The first is Ezra Turner (Woody Harrelson), a blind meat salesman who plays the piano. Tim calls Ezra Turner and harasses him at work to check if he is quick to anger. Ezra remains calm and Tim decides he is worthy.

He then contacts Emily Posa (Rosario Dawson), a self-employed greeting card printer who has a heart condition and a rare blood type. He spends time with her, weeding her garden and fixing her rare Heidelberg press. He begins to fall in love with her and decides that as her condition has worsened he needs to make his donation.

His brother tracks him down to Emily's house. Ben then demands that Tim return his IRS ID to him. Tim leaves and returns to the motel. He fills the bathtub with ice water to preserve his vital organs, climbs in, and then commits suicide by pulling his box jellyfish into the water with him. His friend Dan (Barry Pepper) acts as executor to ensure that his organs are donated to Emily and Ezra. Ezra Turner receives his corneas and Emily receives his heart. Afterwards, Emily meets Ezra at a concert and they begin to talk.

Yet another brilliant performance by will smith

Yesterday i was viewing behind the scenes of this movie. You rarely see such concepts in hollywood movies, most of them have violence and weapons in the movie.

When i first saw this i was'nt expecting the movie to be like this.

what was the best moment in this film,according to you??

I was touched by the conversation between Ben and Ezra at the starting when Ben talks to Ezra over phone offensively calling him a BLIND VEGAN BEEF SALESMAN VIRGIN COWARD and Ezra replying him Goodbye.

The restive gesture on Ezra's part was simply great.
When the plot uncovers then only we know why had Ben talked to him in such an offending manner.

Yep great movie..
Specially will smith, after seeing the movies like Wild Wild West, iRobot etc... didnt expect this role in the movie, but was a good and touching movie.

This was the cheapest and the scrappiest script i've seen. I'm guessing it was smiths 9 yr old kid who wrote it. Will smith plays a self loathing sad fu#k who sells/donates off his organs and other body parts to save seven different individuals to redeem himself. boo hoo.

pursuit of happiness was good. im not a will smith hater. just i think that this movie script was very amateurish. i don'ty understand why smith chose this role. if he wanted some cheap pity then i guess he got it but nothing more than that.

There's not a single movie which has been liked by all the people in the world. Every person has got his own taste and liking. So it's very much understandable if someone likes something and other one doesn't like the same thing at all.

Will Smith is one of the highest paid actor and he doesn't need any kind of pity from anyone. I am sure he must have liked the script unlike you did.

There are some movies on human rights & social issues which should be liked by all .

broadway · 07-30-09, 10:54 PM

different people, different opinions. true. IMO the fresh prince still has a lot of growing up to do.
