Seven Pounds

Seven Pounds Good people make horrible mistakes. A lapse of judgment even for just couple of seconds can transform your life forever. Seven Pounds is a movie about an intelligent, virtuous man who made a life-altering mistake. The main character, Tim Thomas, had everything from an engineering job, a beautiful fiancé, to an ocean view dream house. All of this was taken away from him in a matter of seconds because of Tim’s mistake of texting while driving. His slip of judgment resulted in Tim veering into the other lane and colliding head-on into a van carrying six passengers. The accident caused seven fatalities in total including the death of his fiancé. Now Tim believes that it is his duty to sacrifice his organs and even his life for the good in helping others. The movie Seven Pounds will question some of your values on life, making you reconsider what it means to sacrifice something, what it means to have happiness, and what is the true meaning of love. The motive of this movie is for people to learn a moral lesson, that people should sacrifice something for those people who truly deserve it. Two years prior to the main plot of the movie, Tim Thomas was reading a text message while driving and caused a car crash in which seven people died: six strangers and his fiancé.
