Response To "Seven Pounds"

It can be said that I have varied feelings about the movie we watched,Seven Pounds. In this movie go out Smiths character, Ben Thomas, is determined to pay for a past fault in a very definite and harsh way:he plans to redeem himself by sacrifising his life and sharing his organs and posessions with heptad batch, the same number of the victims of a car crash he caused some time before. But I am non sure if this is a generous act coming from a contrite soul, or just an attempt to gain grit control of his life and to prove himself he can castrate other peoples lives, this time with good results.

I agree it must have shrinkn a great deal of fortitude and cold bloodedness to decide the course of action he would take; the preparation of the setting, the choice of the rigth people, but I cannot help mind that the desition of commiting suicide shows, in a way, his impossibility to face the consequences of his actions. If he treasured to be forgiven through suffering, living with a conscience-smitten soul would have provided enough of it. Besides,if he had decided to live, a long life of good deeds can be more helpful for even more people than seven.The secon idea Id like to discuss has to do with the selfishness and omnipotence of the character; it seems that he wanted to be very careful with the chosen ones.



An example of this is when he rejects the person in the retirement house, for the marrow bone transplant. He thinks he doesnt deserve his gift, whats more, he feels he was almost cheated on. On the other hanbd, when he phones the unreasoning man in the essence of the nigth to apologize and to tell him he was going to receive a present, he insists on telling him he realized the blind man deserved it.My question is: who gave Ben the right to decide who was or not suitable?Does previous suffering give people the authority to decide on others lives? In my opinion, it doesnt.

In conclusion, no matter how well developed is the story, or how nicely the music director tries to...If you want to get a full essay, order it on our website: Ordercustompaper.com
