If you haven't seen this movie, you may want to avoid this post. It may contain plot spoilers.

Anyone who has seen this, what do you think the title, 7 Pounds refers to?

I'm thinking Shakespearean reference, you know, Shylock's pound of flesh?

I think Will Smith was amazing in this movie.

Yes, the movie title is definitely derived from the Merchant of Venice and alludes to a debt that has to be repaid, regardless of the consequences. I loved this movie and Will Smith was indeed excellent. The way he chose to end his life was totally unique that's for sure! Who would've thought that a TV actor from an arguably tacky show like "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" could become what he is today!

*me jumping for joy!*

Oh, I'm sooo happy someone finally saw this one! I really wanted to know if I was on the right track with the Shylock reference.

So many movies follow predictable formulae, but this one, well, I kind of guessed the ending, when he set up the aquarium, but I kind of hoped I was wrong, and if I wasn't that he would reconsider.

Will Smith, now there's a chameleon. What an excellent job.

I get a kick out of making people's day by finding discussions that dodn't get a hit yet and it just so happened that your discussion was in relation to a topic I did know about! Who woulda thunk it! G'Night and it's been great to meet you. I enjoy your sense of humour very much!
