Seven Pounds summed up in one word is depressing. My best friend and I were intrigued with this movie ever since it came back and trailers were shown because we only had an idea of what it was about and were not sure what was really going to happen. The plot to this movie was very good but just all together the movie could have taken a different turn than it did. Will Smith's character that calls himself Ben has caused an accident that killed seven different people including his fiancee so he spends the rest of his life trying to find seven deserving people to help get out of certain positions whether it be an abusive relationship, an illness or just a bad place in their life. Ben feels as if he can change the outcome of the previous wreck by helping these people but feels like he himself does not deserve redemption when in reality he could have just realized he was able to be redeemed. The twists and turns in this movie I can honestly say I did not see coming at all, this was one of the few movies my best friend even just went along for the ride with. The movie leaves you feeling depressed because the main character you so nicely have come to like decides to kill himself in probably the movie unique way I have ever seen or heard about but also has a way of making you continue thinking about this movie long after you have seen it.
