7 Pounds

This is a show really worth watching! Too bad i missed it on the big screens.

While i was waiting for 8.30pm to come last nite in the office, i watched this show as i bought the DvD 2 days ago. I've always like Will Smith, and so i'd watch every show he casts in. The most recent 1 was a let down, the zombie show (i 4got the name).

However, 7 Pounds... it's really really good! Here is a little spoiler...

Tim Thomas (Will Smith) took on his Brother's identity as an IRS Agent* Ben Thomas, and went on to help 7 people, changing their life altogether. Tim Thomas was a successful Engineer, owning a beach house by an ocean with a lovely wife. "God created the world in 7 days... in 7 seconds, i lost mine". He lost his wife to a fatal car accident 1 night, and he sets out to find redemption by posing as an IRS agent to help people.

While you're watching the show, you'll be wondering... why is he doing these? What does he benefit from these? Everything is a mystery... until the end. In my mind, i was expecting a totally different ending of the show. I was still trying to figure out what's this man thinking... posing as his Brother and going around helping others and making sure they deserves his help. And in the end, i finally understood... what was in his mind... why is he doing all these... and totally unexpected!

Spoiler: Will Smith died in the end... He gave his heart to Emily. But not because he loves her... but because she needs and deserves his heart.


*an IRS Agent is the Govt Tax Collector. Going around auditing the people who owes the Govt $$ and deciding whether they should pay or their deadline should be extended.

If you have not catch this show yet. It is time to do so...
