Q. 1, As a lifeguard i have learnt how a jelly fih kills, the toxins very rarely enter the blood, the kill by complete shutting down the nervous system, which in turn, shut down the brain, rarely effecting the heart. Q2. He is getting names through the use of his brothers position at the IRS, they have EVERYONE on file, also through the help of people he has already helped, i.e the person to whom he donated his kidney, and the person to whom he donated a portion of his liver, and the lawyer figure danny. Q3. in the case of the lady he saved they actually answer that question in the film, he went through a list of people the IRS have listed with stage 2 heart disease that are predicted to increase to stage 1 recently (the irs has that on file as well) and then narrowed that figure down to those with his blood-type by using his position as an imprecatory IRS agent to check hospital records. Q4. the name seven pounds is a reference to one of Shakespeare's plays, in which an organ was taken from poor people who failed to pay off a debt, one organ being worth a pound of debt. Q5. their is such thing as an eye transplant it involves the transference of the "cornea from one person to another, hence why the "blind man" had brown corneas at the end of the movie

in short
the movie was while far fetched, ENTIRLY POSSIBLE
we do not agree and
YOU ARE AN IDIOT
meg don't have kids

I disagree. I thought the movie was just amazing. The ending was a little empty but it works for this movie. I don't think he so much "overacted" he was supposed to be this overbearing, akward person. Will Smith is a great actor! I will be purchasing this movie. It's a must-see for sure!

the movie was very sad, but I thought Will Smith did a good job. It was very different from his other roles, so it was probably hard. I loved this movie and I thought it stays with the viewer. I can't stop thinking about it, anyway.

His movies make money because they spend millions and millions in advertising and exposure. The general public see his dumb movie posters until they're blue in the face and when it comes time to choose between one boring Hollywood flick and another, they usually choose the one they recognize. Then they walk out of the theater complaining about how much Will Smith sucks and how they thought for sure this time, after all that production money, they'd finally make an okay movie. Even if it has a dumb bozo washed up rapper like him in it. So many good films have been ruined by his ugly mug and bad bad acting. "NOw that's what I call a close encountah!!!" BORING.

This is what happens when Will Smith starts taking acting lessons from Tom Cruise.

I keep reading about how everyone really disliked Smith's acting in the movie, and while I can dfinitely agree he overacted in parts, I didn't see a lot of what reviewers are saying. To me, he came off as being incredibly awkward, and in other parts as a person who thinks that they are really sad, or whatever, and that's where they have to be etc, and they overreact to situations. Its not like people in 'real' life don't behave in this way.

I think I would agree that you can see the twists or whatever coming, but at the same time I think I was most interested in the motivation behind why he was doing these things. I think that question is answered but it felt incomplete.

I wouldn't tell someone not to see this, but I would probably say that it's more of a rental than a theater/purchase.

Also, I hate your new commenting system.

I take that back, I don't hate the commenting system. I hate that I can't register 'sam' as my username.
