Movie endorsement


It is a movie that marked me forever. 7 Pounds is a beautifully written and directed movie! Its title is a mystery. Until you don’t see the movie or you haven’t heard about it, you don’t know what to expect for.
The main character is Ben Thomas (Will Smith), who reading a text message while driving, causes a car crash in which seven people died: six strangers and his fiancée.
In a bid for redemption, Ben sets out to save the lives of seven good people. A year after the crash, having quit his job as an aerospace engineer, Ben donates a lung lobe to his brother. Six months later he donates part of his liver to a child services worker
named Holly. After that, he begins searching for more candidates to receive donations. He finds George a junior hockey coach, and donates a kidney to him, and donates bone marrow to a young boy.
Two weeks before he dies, he contacts Holly and asks if she knows anyone who deserves help. He chooses a mother of two children who has an abusive boyfriend, and gives them his house so they can hide from the man.
Another man he chooses is Ezra, a blind piano player. He then contacts Emily Posa a self-employed greeting card printer who has a heart condition and a rare blood type. They spend time together and he begins to fall in love with her and decides that as her condition has worsened he needs to make his donation.
In the motel room Ben (Will Smith) fills the bathtub with ice water to preserve his vital organs, climbs in, and commits suicide by pulling his box jellyfish into the water with him. His friend Dan acts as executor to ensure that his organs are donated to Emily and Ezra. Ezra Turner receives his corneas and Emily receives his heart.
