Seven Pounds

The movie Seven Pounds was a terrific movie! The movie is a really dramatic and intense. You have to pay attention to the movie though or you will get lost... Will Smith plays the leading role in the movie. The plot of the story is you start out seeing a man in the movie. He's really distrote and on the verge of committing suicide. Anyways Will Smith, whose name is Ben Thomas in the movie, life is really hectic. He is obsessed with 7 people who died in a car crash well the car crash was because of him. Through out the movie he has flash backs up to that night where it happened and a girl, his fiancée. Through the movie he helps out people who have been neglected or who have health conditions. One of the people who have the health condition is a girl with a heart problem. Her heart gives out a lot and she is type 2 for the hospital meaning that she always goes to the hospital, but can leave when feeling better. It also means she's not bad enough to have a heart transplant. One day her heart gives out and she's taken to the hospital only to find out she now needs a heart transplant and she is now on a waiting list for it. The only problem with that is she now has 6 weeks maximum to live and she has a rare blood type so she has 6% chance to get a donor. Will Smith throughout the movie befriends and falls in love with her. Also through out the movie he's an IRS agent and he visits people with problems. Mostly to the end when he makes the call to the police saying he's going to commit suicide it flash backs to the crash. He and his fiancé were in a car driving and a van was coming the other way. Will Smith was districted by his phone and swerved in to the other lane and collided with the van. Everyone except him dies. He felt guilty so he killed himself. But with that he donated his heart to the woman he loved and she lived. He also donated other body parts to the people he met through out the movie. This is a very good and touching movie. It got a lot of great reviews and I definitely think Will Smith is one of thee best and talented actors alive.
