Seven Pounds movie review

SEVEN POUNDS the movie - MOVIE REVIEW

Seven Pounds the movie is a movie that stars movie actor Will Smith as movie character Ben Thomas, an officer with the Internal Revenue Service (or so we are to assume). In Seven Pounds the movie, Ben Thomas appears cynical and jaded. In the opening movie scene of the movie Seven Pounds, Ben Thomas is outright cruel.

• It turns out that the character Ben Thomas in Seven Pounds the movie has taken it upon himself to test the character of others.
• Are they good people?
• Are they "slow to react in anger" when he insults them?
• What is the reason that he is judging these people?
• Well, it is to determine whether they are deserving. But, deserving of what?
• What can Ben Thomas provide to enrich their lives?

Two among the people in Seven Pounds the movie are the character Ezra, played by actor Woody Harrelson and the character Emily, played by actress Rosario Dawson.

For the majority of the running time of the film, Seven Pounds the movie (1hr,58min), Will Smith's character is under the guise of a 'big brother is watching' role with the IRS.

1. He pretends that what he can provide is a financial pardon from the IRS, to take monetary burdens away.
2. One such person to fail the test is a nursing home administrator deemed responsible for patient neglect.

In Seven Pounds the movie, as Will Smith's character Ben Thomas continues on his quest to find richly deserving people, he does provide help with finances for some but so much more than that for all.

************************************************************************************************

Ben Thomas provides love, consideration, shelter, protection and life. He feels it is his duty to correct former tragedy in his life and the lives of others. The way he goes about it all is an ultimate awful tragedy that (with the exception of an occasional sniffle) silences a theater full of moviegoers. To say anything more would be a huge spoiler.

I give Seven Pounds the movie 4/5 stars****
