Life goes on in a splendid death

In recent years, Will Smith has produced many works, including martial arts dramas such as "Hancock" and "I Am Legend", and emotional masterpieces such as "Knock When Happiness". Although he has also been nominated for an Oscar, he has never touched the golden man, so some people say that Smith made the film "Seven Pounds" for the golden talent.

Continuing the warm line of the previous "Happiness", "Seven Pounds" tells the story of self-redemption by Tim, an engineer who killed seven people in a car accident. The beginning of the film is puzzling, and the story unfolds as the scene before and after the crash unfolds. The loopholes in the plot can be described as the fatal wound of the film, whether the continuous donation of organs is reasonable, Tim can always pretend to be his younger brother, these can not be justified, but Smith still gave an excellent performance. In this film, I can feel the hysteria and tenacity in "I Am Legend", the cheerfulness and positivity in "Happiness", and the wit in "The Rival of the People". Especially when he tried to provoke his anger in order to test the blind Ezra, he was suffering, struggling, and everything was revealed. All I can say is that when there is a better script, the Golden Man may not be far away.

It was said that Smith's performance alone held up the entire movie, and when he asked the doctor about Emily's chances of surviving a heart attack, I already guessed the ending. But when he slowly fell into the icy bathtub and let the tentacles of the jellyfish entangle it, releasing deadly toxins, along with his struggle and gasping, my heart was still deeply stinged. The box jellyfish, the most venomous yet most beautiful creature in the world, gave Emily a chance to give birth, allowing life to be passed on. Before the end of the film, there is a flashback of Tim and Emily sitting on the grass in the suburbs, bathed in the sun, and I also began to reflect on Tim's treatment of life and death along with the picture. God took seven days to create human beings, but he took seven seconds to let seven people leave this world. Perhaps, the so-called self-salvation is false. He has never come out of the haze and cannot forgive himself. Every donation and help only allows him to temporarily relieve himself. What he needs is a real and complete rebirth. He's trying to keep himself alive because he's in love with Emily and wants to spend the rest of his life with her, but God doesn't give him that chance, the doctor's "3% chance" slams him back into reality , picked up his own choice again.

When Emily's bedside pager on behalf of a donor rang, she found that Tim was no longer with her. I think she should be wandering in loss and hope at the moment, she was eager to witness this moment with him, but it was only An unreachable dream. Life or death always exists in the front line, and it is difficult to choose. Tim used his life to prove the meaning of his death. In fact, it also relieved his tormented heart and was reborn in Emily's heart. , in Ezra's eyes, and in the laughter of the Connie family. Maybe he was selfish and cruel, for the comfort of his own soul, Emily just got love but lost it in a flash. But this cruelty is also full of the warmth of life, which interprets his ultimate understanding of life in the crystal clear picture floating with Mizuki.

Write a small essay and let yourself be relieved.
