Movie Review: Seven Pounds
Since I have been down and out with my wrists, I joined Net Flix as a way to have something to do in the begining when I couldn’t do aything but sit on the couch and pop pain pills. I have watched MANY movies in the last 9 months, but I ahve to say that “Seven Pounds” is one of 2 movies that touched my heart more than any of the others.
The first few minuets of the movie you ask yourself what is this about. It doesn’t give you the whole story as to why “Ben” is doing what he is doing right up front. You have to piece it together as it goes along. When you realise why, you will cry and think, “OMG! That could be me!”
In the end, the classic love story mingled with the feelings of hope, love, guilt, pain, shame and sorrow will leave you in a bundle of emotions that you will not know what to do with. But in the end, this story will inspire you to find a way to do something to help a perfect stranger without their ever knowing your name.
