The director's eyes are good and the script is good

Hmm~~ After watching Seven Pounds, I don't have much motivation to write long, Will Smith really worked hard, he acted absolutely well, for example, when Emily asked him about his past scenes, Ben refused to answer, and Emily turned and left. . Immediately afterwards, Ben stood at the door at a loss, his expression changed so richly, an outsider woman saw the expression of such a man and moved her heart of pity.

There are many wonderful clips of WS, such as the clip of being stung by a jellyfish, sitting in front of a patient's bed and listening to the crying clip and so on.

The soundtrack of the movie is quite good, and it just exaggerates the emotional changes of the protagonist. Ben and Emily have a long talk in the suburbs. After returning home, muse's "feeling good" sounded. Leaving aside the meaning of the lyrics, it is very appropriate in terms of tune. The score also includes crisis, and Mozart's Fantasia in D minor. In terms of shooting techniques, the lens is slightly shaken. I like this kind of shaking. The camera is high and low, which is very sensational...


The idea of ​​the film is also very deep. Roughly as follows: Ben and his beloved wife had a traffic accident on the highway, and another bus overturned on the road, killing 7 people. Ben's soul was tortured, he donated his heart, bone marrow, lungs, liver, corneas and real estate to unrelated people, and had an affair with Emily, the heart-failed.

The director is unsatisfactory, I give him four words: eyes are high and hands are low. The narrative method is typical splicing. Similar to "babel" or "21g", at least Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu can weigh the weights and make his film chaotic but not chaotic, while Gabriel El Muccino has gone too far, he can tell the story in a straight line, or don't edit and splicing the complete clips, the characters that Ben wants to help have little connection, and the axis of the protagonist can only be cluttered. It's half the effort.

Another example is "Vanilla Sky" directed by Cameron Crowe. The movie flopped badly.
