Seven Pounds: Review By Red Camera Man

SEVEN NAMES. SEVEN STRANGERS. ONE SECRET.

"Seven Pounds" tells the story about a man who wants to redeem his heavy conscience by changing the lives of seven strangers. The reason why he's doing this is because of his secret and I'm just going to spoil it:

About a year ago, Tim (WILL SMITH) was having fun with his wife in his car until another car crashed into his, and the accident kills not just his wife, but also SEVEN people in the other car! So Tim changes his name to Ben Thomas, one of the seven names on his list, and wants to give "seven pounds of his flesh" to the seven strangers. But when one of them falls in love with him, Tim is wondering whether he should now reveal his secret or not, which can also ruin his plan.

SEVEN NAMES:

1. Ben Thomas

2. Emily Posa

3. Ezra Turner

4. Nicholas Smith

5. George Turtuccia

6. Connie Tepos

7. Holly Apelgrin

Rosario Dawson plays Emily Posa, a lonely girl who has a few days to live because of her low-blood heart. But after she meets "Ben", he offers her his own healthy heart, and she later falls in love with him. I was kind of impressed of Rosario Dawson's role in this movie, she was actually really beautiful too.

Woody Harrelson plays Ezra Turner, a blind piano player who wishes to become a better person with better eye-vision. He later meets "Ben", and he offers Ezra...his own eyes. What will Ezra think of that?

ENDING SPOILER: Tim wished he was dead every day, so after he finished having sex with Emily, it was time for him to die. First, he calls the police saying that there was a suicide in his apartment, and he says he's the victim; second, he fills his bath tub full of ice water and lays down in the tub; and third, he puts his pet jellyfish into the water to let the creature eat him! A few minutes later, the police arrived at his apartment to see Tim dead in the tub with the jellyfish still eating him, so they drove him to the hospital. But it was also time for Emily's heart surgery, so the doctors cut out Tim's heart and they put it inside Emily's chest while she was asleep in the hospital.

Later the next morning, Tim's brother came to Emily and told her about Tim's secret, and she was devastated. Emily arrives at Tim's funeral and she sees Ezra Turner playing the piano with some elementary school kids, they later meet each other, and she noticed that Ezra has new eyes. Now that he can see better, Ezra found out that the woman standing in front of him was Emily Posa, she felt better while meeting him, and then the credits started to roll.

It was stupid for Will Smith to kill himself at the end, but the rest of this was still all right. That's why I gave the story and acting a 4-star rating, but I gave the rest of this 3.5 stars. Still, "Seven Pounds" is an okay movie, but "The Pursuit Of Happyness" is way better and that's a movie that deserves 5 stars. That's my review.
