Seven Pounds

Released in 2008, this movie was one of the best films I have ever seen. It was about a man who had lost it all and basically given up on hope. He killed seven people, including his wife, in a terrible accident caused by texting and driving. His depression increased over the years and he soon realized that he had nothing to live for. Throughout the movie, including gloomy flashbacks, he helped people who truly needed help. For example, giving bone marrow to a young boy and helping the elderly. he searched for people who he thought were honest and genuwine. After falling in love with a woman with a weak heart and a short time to live, he killed himself. His death was planned and very creative. At the end of the movie, it wa discovered that he had helped several people...giving his heart to the woman he loved, literally, and even his eyes to a once blind man. I thought Will Smith did a great job with this character. The ending was so moving, I cried.
