English season again. This time is Will Smith's
SEVEN POUNDS. Actually, the last four movies which showed to my
colleagues were all my choice. And I don't konw why I chosed SEVEN
POUNDS, if there were a reason, the only should be : that is a Will
Smith's movie.
Yeah, Will Smith, the most famous
black actor in Hollywood, his film, usually, only one superstar,
and that is himself. You can give examples, such as Hancock(2008),
The Pursuit of Happyness(2008), I Am Legend(2007),
etc. You can name a list of that. And that is Will
Smith.
OK, back to the topic of SEVEN POUNDS, I
like Will Smith, however, it doesn't mean I like this movie. SEVEN
POUNDS told us a story about a man who made a traffic accident
unwittingly, and caused 7 people died, including his lover. His
felt guilty, and decided to save 7 people's life for release
himself. He found 7 good people who had problems, one had blind
eyes, one had heart disease,one always hit by his husband, and so
on. He investigated all the people, ensured they were good, and
prepared his death to give them what they needed, the eyes, the
health heart, the house near the sea, and so on. Nevertheless, no
conflict in a movie that means it's not a complete one, at least
not a good one, so the director arranged our Will Smith to love the
one who had the heart disease, therefore our major part would
consider whether he should die or not, but he knew clearly that he
need to sacrifice his heart to give the new lover, otherwise she
would be dead. So he finally let the most poisonous in the
world---Chironex fleckeri, to end his life.
The director used the flashback to show us
the long story, and tried to make the audience to feel like a
horror movie. I don't know why. It was so ridiculous to do
that in such a positive film, and it ruined the feelings of the
audience to wonder if the man, our major part is a respected person
or not. Using the flashback made the relationships of the man and 7
person he would save hard to understand. I can judge that if it is
not Will Smith, seldom audience would have patience to watch till
the last minute.
So I don't recommend this movie,though it
was acted by Will Smith.
