Is that the weight of the soul?

I've been watching Will Smith's films lately. I watched "When Happiness Comes Knocking" two weeks ago, and I felt very inspired. Today, I watched Seven Pounds.

The story is hard to tell. Even for someone like me who is not low in comprehension, it is still a big challenge. However, I am very fortunate that in addition to my high comprehension ability, I also have an indomitable patience.

Just like the "Life and Death" I watched a few days ago, I was convinced that there must be something else in this story at the end, so I held back my mind wandering countless times and persisted until the end.

The result was not what I expected, everything suddenly became clear, and the essence was concentrated in the last ten minutes. God created the world in seven days, and destroyed his own life in seven seconds. I watched his struggles in the last seven seconds of his life, his expectations, his pain, all gnawing at my heart.

I was attracted to this film because of a small accident, a beautiful misunderstanding (as an aside, the most turning point in my life is because of those very beautiful, very beautiful misunderstandings. I once saw a The article said that after death, the body will lose 7 grams of weight, they think, this is the weight of the soul.) When I first saw it, I didn't remember what the conversion ratio of pounds to grams was, so I intuitively think that they are equal, so I went to see this film specially. Although the misunderstanding is beautiful, it did not prevent more beautiful flowers from blooming in the last few minutes. I saw tears in my eyes. At this time, I haven't forgotten what my friend A Tree wrote in his signature:

When your tears can't help but flow out, keep your
eyes open and don't blink,
you will see the whole world from clear to blurred process... ...

So, the world is in front of me, from clear to blurred, and then from blurred to clear...

    Although the word "Brother" in English cannot clearly describe the Chinese brother or brother, the scene where the father and son watch the jellyfish together still allows the audience to see that Will Smith's character is the older brother, but unfortunately everyone has subtitles.

    Emperor Will Smith... I feel that compared to the previous film "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", which he collaborated with this director,...there is still not enough... Not enough...I feel that I spent too much on the dating line...The blind part is great...In fact, there is more to dig...The final reversal feels not too thrilling or unexpected. .. It feels a bit flat... Anyway, I am not touched...
