redemption

"God created the world in 7 days, and I destroyed myself in 7 seconds." The
story uses flashbacks at the beginning, making people wonder why the male protagonist committed suicide and why he had to call the emergency center after committing suicide. Rescue, and how the male protagonist destroyed himself. Then when the male protagonist called the blind operator and used insulting words to stimulate the operator, the barrage on bilibili began to scold the male protagonist, and they felt that insulting the disabled male protagonist was simply scum. But at the beginning, it was so inexplicable, there must be difficulties and reasons, I told myself. Yes, because of his own fault, his beloved wife and innocent people died in a car accident. Since then, he has fallen into deep self-blame and remorse. Because of his brother's illness, he donated one of his lungs to his brother, and a plan has been formed in his heart since then. Since you have no love for life, why not leave hope to those who are grateful and kind and love life. Then he donated his kidneys, liver, bone marrow, eyes and finally his heart one after another. The organs are said to add up to seven pounds.
He killed seven people, and in the end he killed himself and gave birth to seven others. This is his redemption.
Twenty minutes after watching the film, I felt the heaviness, the heaviness of life. After losing his wife, the only thing that makes people feel that the male protagonist is still alive is that he is constantly searching for the one who is worthy of his sacrifice. If I hadn't met Emily, and there was no conflict between life and death, the male protagonist wouldn't look so pathetic. It would only make me feel that everyone got what they wanted, died if they wanted to die, and lived bravely if they wanted to live.
However, they met Emily, a girl with congenital heart disease. They met each other when they were most helpless and lonely, and they were attracted to each other. He almost wanted to live, and on the night of the heavy rain, he rushed into the hospital and didn't get the answers he wanted. If Emily didn't get a heart transplant soon, she would die soon. The hope of living was extinguished in this way. He no longer hesitated, and let the tender tentacles of the box jellyfish wrap his arms. He died in such a cruel way, leaving the hope of life to the people he loves. This time should be the greatest salvation for him, because there is love. No longer just helping strange and kind people, but the one who made him realize the beauty of life.
Finally, my favorite scene. She found the blind operator who accepted his eyes. She looked at his eyes with tears in her eyes. The blind operator looked at her crying and said with a smile, "You must be Emily."
Only you can look into my eyes with such affectionate eyes, and only you still remember my eyes.

Seven Pounds quotes

  • Ezra Turner: [Last lines] You must be Emily. It's so nice to meet you.

  • Ben Thomas: The first time I ever saw a box jellyfish, I was twelve. Our father took us to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I never forgot what he said... That it was the most deadly creature on earth. To me it was just the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
