Go Watch "Seven Pounds" starring Will Smith, Rosario Dawson, Woody Harrelson email this discussion to a friend?

I just watched "Seven Pounds" today. Great film. It's a drama, although the trailer may lead you to believe it's a suspense film.

The acting, screenwriting, cinematography are stellar in the movie. The story unfolds itself bit by bit, and it isn't until the end that you figure out how all the pieces of the movie fit together.

Once again. It's a drama, not suspense. Very well done.

I can't go into the plot because it would ruin the movie's story. It has to unfold in order for you to understand the mood behind this film, but it is about a man who helps out a bunch of strangers for a specific purpose.

You may want to bring a date, but it's not that kind of date movie. She'll get emotional, though.

I'm glad that you liked this movie. I had an opportunity to watch it yesterday when I went to the movies. I ended up watching Cadallic Records. It was ok, but I think I will go and see seven pounds next.

I really do want to see this movie. I'm glad that you shared that you liked it, because I read somewhere online that it was not going to be a big hit. Will Smith is awesome though and I can't wait to see it.

Thanks for sharing your comments about SEVEN POUNDS. At first I thought this was a thriller type of movie when I briefly looked at the trailer. Will Smith is super actor. It looks like SEVEN POUNDS will be a bril movie to watch. Can't wait to see it!:)

I watched this movie yesterday too and I liked it. I actually figured out what was gonna happen from the beginning, well except I didn't know what one thing was going to be used for until the end but I won't say what it was.

And yes, I cried lol.

I just got back from seeing it also and I liked it a lot. You're right, it's not something we can tell too much about without ruining the whole story. Actually, I think it IS a suspense movie in a way but just not in the "conventional" sense. I agree it was very well done and I highly recommend it.

I have seen it. I am not sure how I feel about it. It was very sad... very confusing at first as well. It is a good movie, but I am not sure that I would actually want to own it and watch it over and over again. I found Will Smith to be very compassionate and a great guy in the movie, but it was pretty depressing to me! I cried buckets full at the end.
It was really annoying bc I went with my brother and some friends and they talked and argued about whether parts of it were logical, etc.

I must say though that I was thinking about the movie for several days after I saw it. It has that kind of effect on you.


gowriter (71)   ranked 5,113 out of 11,478 in watching movies  1 year ago

LOL. Yes, the movie does have an effect on you. It makes you think about it. I would say, then, that the film makers did their job well, especially if they create an emotion that resonates pretty deep within you.

Those are the types of things I'm trying to study as a writer. Movies and books resonate best with people when they drive particular emotions, whether it's cool, funny, sad, depressing, shocking, then people will talk about it which gets other people intrigued to go see it.

The only emotion you NEVER want to evoke in movies or books is boredom. If something's boring, it won't sell.

I've seen the previews for this, and it honestly ticks me off that nobody can say what the movie is about!! I want more information before I decide if I want to see it or not, lol.

I've decided I want to see it just to figure out what it's about, but I will wait until it's on video. I don't go to theaters anymore.

This was a great movie! It did appear to be that of a suspense film, and though it wasn't, I wasn't disappointed. I was very surprised in certain parts, and had to really look deeper into the situations faced, but it definitely was an amazing movie that I would recommend for others to watch. Even if drama is a preferred genre, it is a good movie and is one that would make anyone think about their life, regardless of what they are facing. This movie truly shows the true and in-depth meaning of humanity to its fullest extent!! Loved it!
