"Seven Pounds" - Will Smith

I have just seen a movie titled "Seven Pounds". I didn't know what the movie was about, other than that it was a Drama, but just the fact that Will Smith was starring in it was enough to make me watch it.
For those of you who do not know this fact, Will Smith used to star in a very popular sitcom called "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" which was amazingly funny. And i have to say i wouldn't have ever, even in my wildest dreams would have thought that Will Smith would turn out to become such a fine actor. Yeah, comedy was a given, i knew he would excel in it. But serious and sensitive acting? i wouldn't have pegged him down for it.
But i guess i changed my opinion about him after watching glimpses of his serious side to acting in a few of his comedy movies. Then in movies like "I Am Legend" and "Pursuit of Happyness" , his sensitive portrayal of such intense characters made me his fan, Big time!
And i strongly recommend the movie "Seven pounds" to anyone who likes a bitter-sweet ending kind of movies, or for anyone just in the mood of watching a movie that makes them realise exactly how much good there actually is in the world around you; and how much it changes the lives of people who do unto others or who found themselves on the receiving end of a good deed. So never underestimate the value of a good deed; because the joy it gives others is way more than the joy you think you could have ever experienced. And this movie makes us realize just that!
So without letting you in too much on the story line,let me just give you a vague idea of the premise of the movie.
Will Smith stars as Ben Thomas, an IRS agent with a fateful secret, who embarks on an extraordinary journey of redemption by forever changing the lives of seven strangers. Once his plan is set, nothing will be able to stop him. At least that's what he thinks. So to know what was it the prompted Ben to embark on this extraordinary journey towards transforming the lives of seven strangers forever, you have to watch Seven pounds. And i guarantee you, you will not regret it.
This movie has some stellar performances which just gets to you without being overbearing.
I am not one of those who weeps easily, but this movie truly and most rightfully deserved every tear shed.
And for those of you who is wondering why the movie is titled Seven pounds,  well ask me once you are done watching the movie, then i will let you in on it!!!
