In "The Merchant of Venice" Shakespeare proposed the idea of ​​a pound of meat for a debt, so the title "Seven Pounds" seems to be understandable as the protagonist trying to achieve self-redemption by helping seven people regain their lives. Before the filming started, the sign for the bid for the Olympic Games was displayed. It was like a seed soaked in Oscar nutrient solution, but in the end, due to the limited nutrients, it was destined to fail to sprout and bloom. In other words, the main point is profound and touching, the content is light, and the performance is completely passable, but the effect is not ideal.

The culprit was the director, who miscalculated the role of the suspenseful element. But the so-called charisma is that no matter what he plays, the audience is all paid. [Seven pounds] If there is no Smith, I don't know how many people will be blocked in the obscure half hour of the opening.

Climax moment: At 107 minutes, Thomas commits suicide with a jellyfish, the creature he feared and fascinated most as a child.

The most classic line: God created the world in seven days, and I shattered mine in just seven seconds.
