seven pounds of life

"God created the world in seven days, but I destroyed myself in seven seconds."



Fortunately, I persevered. Although the first half of the film is full of tedious and confusing plots, I can't figure it out. However, I still persevered. I am lucky and can say that in this film, Will'SMITH's performance is really impeccable. <> From the beginning to the end of the film I didn't understand why it got such a name. I checked it out on the Internet, and I realized that "Seven Pounds" originated from "The Merchant of Venice", so the truth came out. In "The Merchant of Venice", in order to help his friend get married, Anthony borrowed money from Sherlock, who had a holiday with him at the cost of a pound of his own meat. Later, a pound of meat became a symbol, a willingness to serve his own enthusiasm The measurable price and chips paid. By extension, this movie refers to everything he did to atone for his sins. But I saw such an explanation from a film review: the human heart weighs about one pound, the liver weighs about four pounds, and the lungs cannot be found, but two pounds seem to have it, so let me take it a little far-fetched to understand "seven pounds" as TIM the weight of the heart, parts of the liver, lungs, kidneys, bone marrow, corneas - plus, of course, the soul. (Some say 21g) Regardless of the explanation, I was really moved by it.

I don’t know when WILL’s films were all received. I know it wasn’t after what Wang Mazi told me: there are two most popular films in the 21st century. One is a movie starring WILL'SMITH. Indeed, starting from "When Happiness Comes Knocking", I have been moved by his acting skills again and again, and this time is no exception. Although the film lasted for more than 2 hours, although I was in the dark for about an hour, in the last 30 minutes of the film, WILL's tense performance, coupled with the background music The Crisis (the pianist at sea gave him his favorite The songs played by the people) pushed the film to a peak, and intense pain came to my heart.

Everyone has thought about dying. Why are people born? Why did you die? After watching the film, we may experience something. Many people would not agree with suicide as a way to end one's own life, but I respect the choice of every life, and I am full of respect for the self-redemption of the protagonist TIM. You know, living in this flashy world, there are many people who dare not face themselves.

Who do people live for? I once discussed this with my sister as well. "Live for oneself" or "live for others", now I feel more that we don't need to live for others to live for ourselves, but as long as we live, we must learn to pay. Whether it is yourself or others. Understand that no one in this world is God, but anyone can be an angel. What moved me even more in the whole film is Emily, a patient with congenital heart failure, but she loves life so much, maybe many of us can't reach her realm, but maybe it's the same environment, that kind of force majeure, that makes the Emily cherishes life so much, and it is this cherishing that makes her love life so much—everything begins to be released after TIM appears in her life. For those of us who are busy with work, family, self... all day long, should we also cherish and love our life more?

In happy times, happy days will pass, and in the end we will still face death.

When TIM was struggling in the bathtub, I really felt the cruelty of life. He used himself to save the lives of seven people, but not his own. Because he never forgave himself from the beginning, but I believe that the moment he ended his life, he completed his redemption.

So, is the cruelest death redemption?

maybe.

Sometimes, loneliness is great, but it is bigger than heartache.

The story of "Seven Pounds" is not as inspirational as "Knock on the Door when Happiness", and it is not as easy as "The Rival of the People" and "Superman for All"; compared with "21 Grams", which is also the title of the unit of weight, the story is not heavy enough. But this film won in humanity, and won our hearts.

After watching the film, I recalled the scene of TIM and Emily sitting side by side on the grass talking and laughing. I felt that the two people facing death hugged tightly, although this warmth was indeed short-lived.

Finally, it ends with the slogan of the film: "He saw the heart beating in her body through his eyes."













Some people will think that the screenwriter of this film is too poor, the plot cannot stand scrutiny, and many of them are not realistic. However, I would like to tell people who have not seen this film or will watch this film one word: learn to enjoy this film.
