Reflection 5
In Tuesday class,we watch a movie " Seven Pounds" directed by Gabriele Muccino. Will Smith stars as a man who sets out to change the lives of seven people. Rosario Dawson, Woody Harrelson, and Barry Pepper also star. This movie shows that Tim Thomas (Will Smith), sending a text message while driving, causes a car crash in which seven people died, six strangers and also his fiance. Tim sets out to save the lives of seven good people. A year after the crash, having quit his job as an aeronautical engineer, Tim donates a lung lobe to his brother, Ben an IRS employee. 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 named Nicholas that he saw at the hospital cafeteria. He then contacts Emily Posa, a self-employed greeting card printer who has a heart condition and a rare blood type. He spends time with her, weeding her garden and fixing her rare Heidelberg Windmill press. He begins to fall in love with her and decides that as her condition has worsened he needs to make his donation. He also he checks out candidates for his final donations and it is Ezra Turner, a blind meat salesman who plays the piano. Tim calls Ezra Turner and harasses him at work to check if he is quick to anger. Ezra remains calm and Tim decides he is worthy. He 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. Afterward, Emily meets Ezra at a concert at the park, he quickly knows who she was, and as they both share some of Tim's body parts, they begin to talk. That is the summary of the movie Seven Pounds. It is very interesting movie even-though at the first I don't really understand what is this movie all about and it quite boring and then at the middle of the movie I know that this movie are more interesting than i ever thought.
