seven Pounds (WARNING SPOILER ATTACHED!)
My husband works at the movie theater. Because of that on occasion I get to sit in on a preview of amovie before they actually open. This is rare and a special treat. Last week was one of those times. I watched seven pounds. I am not sure what I was expecting but what I saw did not match . The basic flow was alright, eventually coming together. It held my interest and I didn't fall asleep (We started it at 11:3opm). The acting was pretty good. So what was the problem? It was the topic of the movie that did me in. It was all about making amends by suicide and thus donating organs to save 7 other people. A heart, eyes, kidney, parts of his liver were donated. As you know my mom was a transplant patient, receiving a kidney and a liver. You may also know that Paul's dad committed suicide as well as my godfather. Both subjects are a bit touchy for me. The movie left me with afeeling of being rather lost, lonely and thinking about those two people and their families who gave their organs to mom and our family. I would like to thank them, but I don't know who they are. So its a silent thank you to them. Anyway, I am done rambling.
