Seven pounds

Earlier almost midnight I watch an English movie "Seven Pounds" by Will Smith.

Basically the movie is about a guy who wants to atone for his mistakes in the past. He then set out to make amends by helping seven strangers.

The movie starts off showing he called for ambulance for his suicide from the motel he stayed.

This guy - Ben Thomas was an IRS agent who went around to collect tax. He will only help those who are truthful and sincere. There was this lady who has heart condition and having problems paying the tax. This guy falls in love with her and tries to help her.

The movie went on with him meeting up some old friends and how the lady also has this liking in him.

In between there were some patients that had he had helped.

Only after Ben committed suicide the whole picture surfaced. His brother got a kidney transplant from him and another lady from the Family service dept had his other kidney.

He also donated his bone marrow to a little boy, gave his beach house away to a lady who was ill-treat by her boyfriend.

Back at the motel he stayed, he kill himself by getting the poisonous jellyfish to bite him. After his death, he donated his heart to the woman that he loved deeply and his pair of eyes to a blind pianist.

This 2-hour movie is very touching. He almost give up his body to the needy.

Well in real life, how many people is able to do such a good deed. If the society is so wonderful there will great then.
