I like Will, very very. I dare say Will is also a very emotional person, always watching him frown in the film, every time he feels distressed. "Seven pounds", watching him cry in pain and struggle in pain, his heart hurts even more.
The story
Tim was originally very happy. He is humorous and successful in his career. He always makes his colleagues laugh at company meetings; is located in the villa by the sea, with his beautiful wife by his side; and lives a happy life. Maybe God is jealous of his happiness. Before the car accident, he still joked with his wife, and the smile on his face was naive and indifferent. It was his indifferent that caused a car accident to ruin the happiness of an entire family, as well as his happiness. Seven lives (a family of six, plus his wife) became his guilt and his pain.
Since then, he has changed. He lives in remorse and self-blame, in deep apology and love for his wife. He is alive, but he is thinking of death. But he can't simply die, he must clean up his sins.
What he hopes is to be able to dedicate everything he has generously. He stole his brother Ben's IRS certificate and used the name of a national civil servant to visit the people he needed, the most difficult, vulnerable, and most in need of help. He hopes that he can help those who are really kind and good, so that his soul can get a little comfort.
In the film, Ben (actually Tim)'s rescue of Emily is the focus, Ezra is the second focus, supplemented by Connie, and the other 4 people he rescued are interspersed. Emily is a person with congenital heart failure and is dying at all times; Ezra is a blind musician and an operator who orders beef; Connie is a victim of domestic violence.
Emily is fragile, she longs for life, she is lonely, she needs Ben's company. Ben sympathized with her, accompanied her, guarded her, and looked at her, Ben also kept thinking of his wife and the happy and beautiful times. In fact, Ben is also lonely. I think this is the reason why Ben and Emily fell in love in the end. Listening to Emily next to him confiding his desire for life, watching Emily sleeping soundly, Ben made the final decision in love and life: time is up, although there is only 5% chance of saving Emily, he hopes Emily is happy, He must go.
He called the 911 emergency center and asked for an ambulance, saying that someone committed suicide. The phone was slightly indifferent, and the woman who had been accustomed to life and death asked him who was the injured. Ben choked and replied: "I am."...... This segment, I chewed many times over and over again, but the two short notes contained so much guilt and determination.
The cold bathtub, the poisonous jellyfish, he tore off the curtains in pain, he accepted death in pain, and completed his painful redemption.
Ben's heart beats in Emily's heart. Emily found Ezra. When Ezra watched Emily call her name, Emily cried. I read the thoughts, pain, and happiness on her face. He used his eyes to see his heart beating in her body. I like this sentence very much.
Such an atonement is really heavy; but such an ending is very beautiful. I didn't cry, tears can't explain anything, the deepest pain is always in the deepest part of my heart, faintly impacting.
It feels that
it is not a matter of reading this film twice. To understand it, you need to think, and you need to find answers time and time again with questions.
Ben always pretends to be relaxed and happy, but I know how tormented he is. He always staged the tragedy of a car accident in his dreams in a lonely night. He had to laugh at Ezra in order to test his character and put down the phone. He hid his face in pain and cried and yelled the name of the person killed in the car accident to give him strength. He was indifferent to Emily for being impatient, but he hurt Emily. He yelled in pain in the car, he refused to contact his brother but how much he loves him... I think what he fears most is the night, all his dreams It's all about the past, the happiness of the past is a mockery of the present, and the bloody car accident scene is a double torment to him physically and mentally. He is suffering, but he has to endure the pain. He is a man. He cannot give himself a little reason to be vulnerable, and he cannot even think about hope because he is also a human. He is also afraid of death. It's just that he must die, this is his choice.
This is a brave choice. He can live in pain all day long, but he has actions in addition to pain. He uses everything his body can give to those who can give it. He uses one person’s life for seven people’s happiness to offset him. Past sins.
Some people say that each of us is destined to be miserable. But not everyone knows how to eliminate pain. Torturing yourself in pain all day is also a way of living, but being able to make up for it in a meaningful way is not something that everyone can think of.
An accident changed a person. I wonder if we really need to be completely painful before we know that we should devote ourselves? He is kind, he is brave, but how can we watch the movie? Perhaps some people will be moved for a while and declare that they will donate their organs after death, but can it really become a reality if you shout too much? We always think too much and do too little.
In fact, in my opinion, whether or not to donate your own organs is something we choose before we die. What we can really do now is the little things in life. Kindness exists deep in the heart, it just depends on whether you are willing to dig it. I believe that we can do a lot...
Finally
This film moved a lot. After thinking about it, it was not the usual deep truth, but such a realistic conclusion was enough for me.
If you don’t understand all the questions about the film, you can leave a message to communicate. I am still very confident in my understanding of this film.
